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.

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.

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.

Touch choice, they're all pretty essential.  However, after some thought, I think it's clear that Susan Storm is the most indispensible, for the following reasons:

1)she is the most powerful of any of them.  She can create virtually impenetrable forcefields, kill with tiny, invisible bubbles, and of course make herself and other things invisible.
2)she is very intelligent in her own right, not in Reed's class of course, but smarter than Ben or Johnny.
3)she is patient and probably more mature and socially adept than any of the others, not to mention an excellent mother and loyal partner, despite the depredations of an Atlantean manwhore.
4)she is the only one I personally would like to have sex with.

Reed's the second choice.

Mr. Fantastic is my favourite of them.  But I think it's a close call between the Invisible Woman and Mr. Fantastic because of his intellect on the question of who is the most powerful of them.

I guess technically he would be my second choice to have sex with.  I mean, his competition is Johnny Storm, who probably has a foul disease, and Ben "Is his dork made of orange rock like the rest of his body?" Grimm.

But, yes, second choice for favorite FF member.

Probably Paul. I think he was the most musically talented and the best song writer. He seems to have gone off the deep end since his wife died though.
