canon is Ultimate Marvel

[future_founder]

The answer is yes, mun,  I'm excited about the movie too. Mighty heroes coming together to make the world a better place and fight against those who seek to make it worse.

I truly love great fiction.

However, the timing is a bit bad, don't you think? By the time you see it, the next issue will be out and I don't want you being torn between two different things.

Oh great, An insane Reed. Who thought that was a good idea?

[future_founder]

'Insane'? Really? Hm.

That's a good question. My mun suspects Bendis, but that line of thinking is a tad flawed.

[arach_nerd]

Wearing stupid facial accoutrements, creating your own private isolated country , and then attempting to take over the world do strike me as the acts of a crazy person.

I mean, what's next? You gonna start wearing a green cloak and talk in the third person all the time?

[future_founder]

City, not country. We are not a true nation, nor do we seek to 'take over the world', as you say.

In fact, the less we have to deal with the world, the better.

[arach_nerd]

So, basically a glorified Principality of Sealand, then. And according to my mun, the Marvel Database wiki says different on the whole conquering thing.

[reality_hacker]

Calling it fiction is not entirely accurate.

Given the nature of other universes and their lay-lines leading to this point it is a word that does exist.

[future_founder]

Oh, no doubt. However, their actions are nonetheless futile, real or otherwise.

[reality_hacker]

What brings you to that conclusion?

[future_founder]

Observation. I've watched my world and seen their hypocrisy first hand, while in other worlds they struggle endlessly and have accomplished nothing.

[reality_hacker]

So in your mind justice is an impossible goal?

[solveeverything]

Interesting...

You weren't part of the Council.

[future_founder]

Council?

[solveeverything]

Mm, perhaps it's not my place to say. They might yet make an offer-- assuming they exist outside of time, and their destruction--

Well, maybe you ought to be prepared in any case.

The Council of Reeds.

[future_founder]

'Council of Reeds'?

Interesting! Tell me more.

[solveeverything]

You know, I assume, of other universes. You're younger than myself, but I see you're ... experienced. [ sad smile ]

The Council consists of many versions of us from these other universes. They call on us when we're ready, when they think we are most capable of solving the problems that face every universe. At first I thought you weren't ready but ... perhaps you're everything they're looking for.

[idol_o_millions]

Uh, what's with the funky helmet, Stretcho?

[future_founder]

Benjamin. I thought you'd shed this form.

It provides many uses, augmentation of my brain being one of them.

[idol_o_millions]

Since when?

[Concerned Ben is concerned!]

Ain'tcha smart enough already?

[future_founder]

Since... well, I don't really know the specifics. It's been so long.

There's always room for improvement, Benjamin, especially when compared to my Children.

[idol_o_millions]

Are ya talkin' about Franklin and Val...? You're startin' to worry me, Reed...

[tordenen]

[ARGH]

Murderer.

[future_founder]

Ah, Thor! You''re looking well. Our last encounter wasn't too taxing, I hope?

[tordenen]

Spare me the pleasantries.

I will have your head the next we meet. That is not a promise, it is a guarantee.

[future_founder]

My mission is far too important to be brought down by a bunch of brutes. I guess we'll just have to see, won't we?

[tordenen]

Your mission is nothing but a show for your arrogance and greed. Do not presume that we sit and idle away while you and your monsters eat the world alive.
