In this explosive episode of Black Geek Energy, we’re calling out the so-called smartest man in the Marvel Universe—Reed Richards—and asking the hard questions. Is Marvel’s Mister Fantastic really just a science-obsessed menace who neglects his family, experiments on his friends, and stays complicit in the oppression of mutants and Black characters? And let’s be real—has Reed Richards ever cared about anyone who didn’t look like him?
We break down canon 616 receipts that expose Reed’s toxic behavior, colonialist mindset, and weird obsession with control. From his shady dealings with the Illuminati to how he treats Storm, T’Challa, and even his own wife Sue Storm—no one is safe from the truth.
This episode is for all our Afrofuturist nerds, comic book scholars, and Marvel fans who know Reed ain't as innocent as he looks. We’re bringing the heat, the facts, and the Black nerd energy to finally answer: Why do y’all keep giving this man a pass?
