Von Doom agrees in exchange for control over the experiment and a majority of the profits from whatever benefits it brings. He thus brings aboard Susan Storm, his shy, though assertive chief genetics researcher and a former lover of Reed's with whom she had an acrimonious break-up, and her diametrically opposed brother Johnny, the maverick and hot-headed playboy pilot.

That's why. Because I could

have any other woman.

- [ Laughing ]

- No, let me tell the story! Let me tell the story!

- [ Gurgling ]

- Oh-

[ Gasps ]

- [ Gurgling Continues ]

- Wow.

- [ Ben Exhales ]

- You all right?

[ Sighs ]

Bad shrimp.

I think I'd better go lie down.

Excuse me.

[ Groans ]

Oh, God.

[ Ben Groans, Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Chuckles ]

[ Reed ]

So, are you feeling better?

Yes. Thank you.

Good.

That's, uh, good.

You always had a way with words.

Uh-Wow.

I should be going, 'cause, uh...

I have to meet Victor.

I'm really happy for you and Victor.

You're really happy

for me and Victor?

I can tell you guys are enjoying

what was the best part of our relationship.

- Which was?

- Passion.

For science.

You are such a dork, Reed.

You never got it,

and you never will.

- What did I say?

- Unless it's explained to you in quantum physics.

I just wanted

to let you know that I was-

It's been two years, and all you can say

is you're happy for me and some other guy?

Victor may be a lot of things

but at least he's not afraid

to fight for what he wants

It's nice to be wanted

sometimes, Reed...

to be seen and heard.

Look at me.

I can't.

- What do you mean, you can't? Look at me!

- Sue, look at your hands.

[ Gasps ]

[ Gasps ]

Hey! You guys-

Hey. You are never gonna believe

what just happened to me.

What?

Oh. Well, I can explain this.

[ Crackling ]

[ Grunting, Exhaling ]

It has to be the cloud.

It's fundamentally altered our D.N.A.

Let's not jump to conclusions.

We need a massive amount of evidence

before making that leap.

Whoa! Guys, look

[ Fingers Snap ]

Now, picture that, but everywhere!

It was everywhere!

What?

The cloud has fundamentally

altered our D.N.A.

[ Cackles ]

- And you know what, guys? I think I was flying.

- We need to find Ben.

- [ Monitors Beeping ]

- [ Heart Beating Rapidly ]

- [ Ben Roaring ]

- Still getting the hang of it.

- Hey, Ben! It's Reed!

- Stop.

- All right.

- All right?

- Yes!

- God! What's wrong with you?

- God! What?

- Sue, do you know the code?

- [ Roaring, Groaning ]

Hey, Ben! Open up!

- You all right, Ben?

- Hey, does somebody have keys to these doors?

[Johnny ]

Anybody?

Just break the glass

It can't be that thick

[ Lock Pad Beeping ]

[ Beeps ]

That's gross.

[ Thudding, Crashing ]

[ Alarm Beeping ]

[ Reed ]

Ben?

Look! Look, look, look, look!

What is that thing?

What's going on?

What happened in here?

- Are you feeling all right?

- I'm fine. Just a few scrapes, that's all.

Ben did this He's had some kind of

reaction to exposure from the cloud

We all have, um, different symptoms
