It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Thing. Ben Grimm was awesome for the depth of character- giving him a few glimpses of being thoughtful enough to counter Reed and Sue added an interesting layer to the typical "wisecracking jock with a soft spot" archetype.

Mr. Fantastic is  pompous ass. Everyone esle has appropriate names. The Invisible woman can become invisible, the human torch can catch on fire, and The Thing, well is a thing. Mr. Stretchy goes and picks Mr. Fantastic.

As to the question at hand, The Thing gets my vote.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Richard Hakluyt

Close between the Invisible Woman and the Thing. The Torch is a brat and Mr Fantastic is too much the other way.

Voted for Sue Storm.

Indeed.
Even worse as he has the crappest power of the lot.

Really, he's got two powers.  He's got his strechy body (which is actually quite a useful power), but he also had his enormous intellect pushed to even higher levels, becoming without a doubt the smartest man in the world.  It's the intellect that makes him Mr. Fantastic, rather than the stretching.  And let's face it, it's hard to sound humble when you're name reflects your genius.

Whichever one was gay.
None of the above.  In fact, they all hate gays.  In fact, everyone hates gays.

Uh... Vic von Doom and Tony Stark? Reed has had to go to Victor for help before, and in the Cross-Time Caper, Ben's attache of weaponry (blowing up RoboStalin with an EMP bazooka ring any bells? :lol:) came from Stark, not from Reed.

Perhaps, but Richards has outsmarted Doom on many an occasion as well.  As for Stark, please.  Tony Stark is brilliant and a gifted engineer, but when it comes down to fundamental science, he's not in Richard's class.  Stark can whip up some wonderful futuristic weapons, but let's see him build a time machine, or a portal to the Negative Zone.
