Fan Casting Mr. Fantastic in Fantastic Four Animated

Brilliant but socially awkward and sometimes withdrawn, Reed Richards grew up without many friends (or at least without many people who thought he was more than a weirdo who raided junkyards for knick knacks). But all that changed when he met Ben Grimm in high school, starting a friendship that followed them to college and later to Storm Aeronautics. When his long dreamed of Excelsior project hit a wall and led to Reed and his most trusted friends to commandeer the craft, the events that followed might have required the usually humble-to-a-fault Reed to accept the burden of leadership of his little found family unit. But the resourceful Richards has proven nothing if not flexible.
