Just what I was thinking

[@gottfriedosterbach3907]

My theory about Doom is that he became a villa in to counter the threat of Reed Richards. If you look at it Doom prevented RR from abusing time travel if he invented it and every time Doom seizes power it could be taken as preventing others from claiming and misusing it. Then weirdly despite having unopposed power he lose it when things can normalize. I think Doom found the most effective way to use his own gifts to help mankind and oppose the dangers of superscience. He could never be a typical hero and wouldn't be effective if he tried. Without Doom RR never would understand or care about the dangers of what he dabbles in.

Richards created a device the size of one of a set of rear view mirror fuzzy dice that generated enough power to supply the entire US. It is installed in some of their tech, but not given or even sold outside those uses, despite the fact it could change the world instantly. It needs no fuel, produces no pollution, and is highly safe and stable. Doom created a similar device and uses it to give free electricity to all of Latveria. He also donated some prototypes (larger and slightly less power output) to several small struggling nations he finds worthy (meaning he finds their leaders worthy).

They kidnapped a statistically significant amount of Doom out of an *infinite* supply.

[@Bubblegob]

Ultimate Reed kind of tried to solve the world as the maker but he was coming from such a place of resentment that the rest of the Marvel Universe would never follow.

[@filipvadas7602]

1. The 2006 Fantastic Four animated series I feel depicted Reed the best. He is so enthralled by pure scientific discovery that almost everything else seems to take a backseat. It makes him sometimes come off as an aloof arsehole, when in reality he's just so innocently invested in learning as much as he can about the universe/multiverse, to the point he sometimes forgets to eat & sleep. That's why the rest of the Fantastic Four are so important, they bring him back down to earth and make him focus on the world around him. 2. The Planet Hulk storyline was slightly improved by the Planet Hulk Animated Movie (2010) where they changed it so that the INITIAL plan was for Hulk to be sent to a planet that was vibrant and could support him living there, but was also devoid of other sentient life. Effectively giving Hulk exactly what he wanted, a place where he can live out his days in peace, rather than one where he would be doomed to die on alone. It was him messing up his ship that made him land on Sakaar. Granted, its still a bad solution because The Hulk doesn't MIND people when they're actually nice to him, he's just sick of people trying to kill him, use him and/or "help" him.

[@Sjono]

There’s various reasons why the writers don’t have Reed fix everything that he should be able to 1.) To keep the world similar to the real world. This is particularly common in an Urban Fantasy, superhero, or other series whose setting is superficially similar to the real world. Unlike, say, Star Trek or The Lord of the Rings, one of the key draws of the series is that it could take place right outside the reader's window, which is lost if you make the fictional world too fantastic in comparison. 2. To ensure that there's some level of drama in the story. If the super science or magic can literally do anything, then there's no reason the heroes can't just figure out a creative way to get them out of any jam. Goodbye potential conflict. 3. To keep the hero unique. If the hero shares their technology, magic, discoveries, or other advantages with the world, they'll cease to be uniquely special. Iron Man isn't Iron Man if he sells his suits on every street corner or shares the technology so anyone can produce them, necessitating an explanation for why he doesn't. 4.) To avoid trivializing real-life problems. If Mr. Fantastic actually does cure HIV in the Marvel Universe, there will be plenty of real people still HIV-positive, and plenty of researchers still investing untold millions of dollars and work hours to fight HIV when they finish the comic. This can make creators wary of tackling such issues, as it can be considered insensitive to have such a heavy burden in real life be casually miracle-cured in fiction. Also, in the interest of representation, disabled people exist in universes where science should theoretically be able to cure their disability. However, either the disability is so ingrained as a facet of the character's portrayal; or curing them could be seen to detract from their mass-market appeal as someone that other disabled readers can relate to; or it's felt that a setting where "future utopia" means "disabled people don't exist" has very unfortunate implications. 5.) To keep multiple titles within a Shared Universe consistent with one-another; comic book universes would approach a new level of Continuity Snarl and Depending on the Writer if writers had to keep track of every published book in their universe for which major diseases/blights had been cured by the heroes and which ones weren't.

[@burner555]

TLDR Because Marvel's necessity for mass appeal doesn't allow the characters to make real progress in their stories

[@МигдадСалахов]

I think that if any superhero will try to actually change something in the world, governments and corporations will try to stop them because many of the problems humanity in general have are beneficial for people of high authority. I don't say that they shouldn't try to do it but it can be explanation of why many superheroes that can change the world don't do it.

[@helixsol7171]

Immortal Hulk is my favorite Hulk story personally

[@eb7389]

I'll always remember the Italian edition of Marvel NOW's first Iron Man series where at one point there was a small introductory text about Tony that literally said something along the lines of "...

Important addition to World War Hulk. Hulk actually became Sakaar’s ruler and was happily married with a child on the way, but the Illuminati’s pod self-destructed, killing his wife and unborn child (although the child kinda survived?

But Reed did fix world hunger. Galactus hungers for worlds and Reed put him in his place with the Ultimate Nulifier.

[@EnbyVess]

Honestly? This is something that kinda holds true about plenty of comic characters. Writers want to display them as cosmic genuises, capable of absolutely incredible things- but because the status quo, because they want state of the world around the character to match ours to an extent so we can relate, these genuises can never have any real impact, not any more than anyone in the real world has. Reed isn’t curing cancer, Bruce Wayne isn’t tackling systemic issues that cause people to commit crimes in the first place, and Tony Stark isn’t solving world hunger. If they did, readers couldn’t just view the worlds they live in as “ours but with superheroes”.

[@greatmesodini]

I will say that a likely reason Reed's solutions haven't fixed anything is because if on earth 616 everything was fixed, there would be no more conflict. Superhero comics are about a conflict and there need to be a conflict to keep making stories. Marvel requires there to be a conflict in order to keep making stories so they can keep making money, so if all of the sudden earth 616 was fixed, there would no more conflict, no more struggle, and there wouldn't be any stories left and money to make. But, they can fix other worlds because they aren't the main world or the main focus of marvel.

[@Steflora]

The solution to that is to not have characters that are smart enough to fix the world. If you have someone that is fully capable of fixing all of the world’s problems, and they have the motivation to do it, but they just don’t, then the story is bad and doesn’t make sense.

"I've come to the realization that reed doesn't want the world to change." At this point, what comic book superhero does want the world to change? Every superhero that isn't an anarchist or isn't written by an anarchist is stuck in this weird paradox of wanting to make the world a better place and then immediately turn around and make an enemy out of anyone that has a problem with the status quo. Pop culture detective has a pretty good video about this paradox.

Reed did go on to inspire rick sanchez for a reason. Also that one clown on venture brothers

Flanderization and underage relationships did him dirty.

[@equ-ipe6893]

And that’s why we love him

[@dennisbeaman958]

Franklin is also a genius and doesn't get enough credit either

[@RenanL.S.]

This is a terrible argument. Reed is not forced to solve some problem just because he can, he has his goals to achieve and he should seek them and not something else.

Dr Doom could very well be counted among the smartest minds. He solved a whole countrys problems within under a year of being there from i recall. The fact he also outsmarts and rivals four minds on the daily, one of which you claimed is the smartest mind in Marvel very well can count him among your list

but Dr. Doom can fix world hunger

[@aryantyagi12a]

Guess that just means reeds is either simply too lazy and distracted or doesn't care about solving it in the first place.
