Champion Spotlight - Mister Fantastic


About Mister Fantastic
Reed Richards is a brilliant scientist, who spearheaded an experimental voyage into space accompanied by his friends and family. An accident occurred during the trip, and the ship was flooded with cosmic rays. After crashing back to Earth, Reed found that he could stretch and elongate his body in impossible ways. He became the leader of the Fantastic Four, and uses both his powers of elasticity and his genius intellect to deftly handle all threats, galactic to microscopic.
Mister Fantastic's Mechanics:
Mister Fantastic is one of the most versatile, utility-focused Champions in the game, with many abilities that benefit his entire team just by being on it. His main goal during fights is to stack up as many Debuffs on the Opponent as possible, since he has quite a few abilities that get stronger depending on the number of Debuffs. He also has two mechanics that are new to the Contest. He’s able to trigger Pre-Fight Debuffs on an Opponent then have a teammate fight that Opponent and take advantage of the Debuff,without Mister Fantastic having to participate in the fight himself. He is also the first Champion with Cross-Fight abilities, which are abilities that attach to their target for multiple fights, and apply their effects even if Mister Fantastic is knockedout or another teammate enters the fight instead.

STRENGTHS
- Flexible Pre-Fight abilities
- Mister Fantastic is the first Champion who can apply Pre-Fight abilities to an enemy, then let his teammates take advantage of them. Once he spends a Persistent Charge and applies a Pre-Fight Debuff to the Opponent, that Opponent will have the Debuff on them in their next fight even if the attacking Champion isn’t Mister Fantastic. This also works between Alliance Members.
- Cross-Fight abilities
- Mister Fantastic is the first Champion to have Cross-Fight abilities. When he applieshis Cross-Fight ability to his Opponent, that ability will stick with them for the next fights they participate in, even if those fights aren’t against Mister Fantastic.
- Full team synergies
- Similar to Captain America (Infinity War), Mister Fantastic has synergies that benefit his entire team, depending on their class. Once the synergy is active, it’ll apply to all members of your team whose Class matches the synergy. He also has a fantastic synergy with the other members of the Fantastic Four if you put them all on the same team.
- True Accuracy
- Mister Fantastic has Evade, the chance for which increases for every non-Damaging Debuff currently active on both Mister Fantastic, and his Opponent. The chance for this Evade can get quite high relatively easily, but if his Opponent has True Accuracy they can bypass the Evade entirely.
- Debuff Shrugging
- Almost all of Mister Fantastic’s abilities are dependent on him building up Debuffs on the Opponent. He’ll struggle to do much of anything if his Opponent is shrugging off all of his Debuffs.
Abilities:
Passive:
- Physical and Energy Resistance increased by +857.14.
- 5% chance to Evade for each non-Damaging Debuff on either Champion. Does not trigger during a Well-Timed Block.
- Attack Rating is increased by +57.4 for each Debuff on the Opponent.
Prepared for Anything -Pre-Fight Ability:
- Before the fight, choose up to 3 unique Debuffs to place on the Opponent at the start of the next fight. Each Debuff costs 1 Persistent Charge.
- Mister Fantastic starts with 2 Persistent Charge(s), and can have up to 5. When Mr. Fantastic finishes a fight, he gains 1Persistent Charge for each unique Debuff on the Opponent.
Dev Note: Mister Fantastic’s Pre-Fight Debuffs all cost Persistent Charges, so if you regularly use them then let another Champion do the fighting, you’ll still need to take him into a fight to getcharges back. - These Debuffs each last 12 second(s), and are refreshed when the Opponent is knocked down.
Dev Note: The Debuffs are triggered immediately at the start of the fight, and his allies have no way to get them back once those Debuffs expire, so they’ll have to regularly knock down the Opponent if they want to keep the Debuffs active. - The Debuffs are applied even if a different Champion enters the fight.
- Debuff potency scales with the rarity of Mr. Fantastic. If different versions of a Debuff are applied, only the strongest one triggers.
Prepared for Anything -Pre-Fight Debuffs -Max: 3 Each:
- Petrify the Opponent, reducing the effectiveness of their Regeneration and Power Gain effects by 30%.
Dev Note: It’s really too bad for Doctor Doom that his Aura of Haazareth doesn’t trigger while he’s suffering from a Petrify... - Suppress the Opponent, decreasing their Defensive Power Rate by 19%.
Dev Note: Suppression is a new Debuff that we’re debuting with Mister Fantastic. It’s very similar to Enervate, except instead of shutting off the Opponent’s Defensive Power Rate entirely, it decreases it by a percentage. - Debuff Siphon the Opponent, increasing the potency of Damage over Time Debuffs on them by 19%, and reducing the potency of those effects on allies by the same amount. This does not affect abilities that trigger at the start of the fight.
Dev Note: Debuff Siphon is another new Debuff that Mister Fantastic has. It’s very effective against Opponents who easily apply Damaging Debuffs to the Opponent, like Morningstar or Abomination. It’s also great for increasing your teammates Damage over Time Debuffs, like Domino or Nick Fury. However, it doesn’t affect the Bleed or Poison from Double Edge and Liquid Courage, nor will it affect the Coldsnap from Iceman’s Signature Ability. And yes, all of these Debuffs work with Void.
- When the Opponent activates a Special Attack, place an indefinite Careful Study Debuff on them for that Special Attack.
- A Careful Study Debuff lowers the Attack Rating of each Hit in the Special Attack by 25%.
- If Mister Fantastic was struck by the last hit of the Special Attack, place 1 additional copy of the Debuff.
- All copies of the Debuff are Purified when the Opponent activates a different Special Attack than the one that triggered the Debuff.
Careful Study -Cross-Fight Ability:
- When the Opponent has 3 copies of a Careful Study Debuff, they are combined into a Passive that lasts for the rest of the fight, and the next 5 fights the Opponent participates in.
- Careful Study Passives count as 3 Debuffs for Reed’s other abilities.
- Each Passive prevents future matching Careful Study Debuffs.
Heavy Attacks:
- On the last hit, pause Pre-Fight Debuffs for 3 second(s).
Special Attacks:
- If no Pre-Fight Debuffs were selected, Special Attacks are Unblockable.

RECOMMENDED MASTERIES
Despair
- Mister Fantastic is able to easily stack up a lot of Debuffs on the Opponent, making it easy to stack up the Despair mastery and reduce the Opponent’s healing. His Careful Study Passives only count as Debuffs for his own abilities, so they won’t count for Despair, but his Pre-Fight Debuff will, meaning any ally who uses Despair can also benefit.
Resonate
- Mister Fantastic is able to significantly Weaken the Opponent’s Special Attacks using Careful Study. If you add the Weakness from Resonate on top of that, it’s possible to Weaken their Special Attacks even further, to the point where they deal barely any damage. The Weakness will also count for any of his abilities that care about how many Debuffs are on the Opponent.

There is just one thing I hate though: The name of his signature ability. GIVE TONY STARK THE RESPECT HE DESERVES GOSH DARN IT!!!!!
Plus, as you say, debuffs from Human Torch, Sunspot, Elsa Bloodstone, Man-Thing, Stealthy...
Time to rank up those Skill champs with Shrug Off abilities!

Scaling the intelligence of the smartest people in the marvel universe is kind of tricky.
For example: Banner is said to have a vastly better understanding of all things gamma related than reed. Then again banner got outsmarted in that exact field by cho, who's like the 7th smartest person on earth?
It's hard to solely rely on feats for this, because feats and actual intelligence don't nessecarily correspond all the time in the marvel universe.
Tony stark is a genius, especially in the field of engineering. That's his shtick essentially. But there's really nothing to suggest that reed, doom, banner or even tchalla couldn't build an equally good or even better iron man suit. I mean, tchalla did actually build some pretty impressive suits himself, but I don't think many would put him up there with reed, doom, banner or stark.
I think the safest thing to judge this on is actually statements. And at that statements by beings that should all things considered know who the smartest person is.
And in that regard reed is handled as the smartest human and sometimes even the smartest being period, by entities like eternity for example.
I'd say his sig is fine (until there's a crossover with dc and batman joins the contest *cough cough*).
Lunella I don't know enough about. She might definitely have the highest potential when it comes to intelligence, but has she comparable feats/statements? I think cho stated that she was the most intelligent person on earth, however that's "only" cho.
If she isn't already, she certainly will be the most intelligent person/mortal being when she grows up.
The thing about reed I can't let go, and I don't know if that's somewhat cheating in a way, so I wouldn't want to see this as an actual argument for him in this little debate, is that he essentially has multiversial intelligence in a way lol.
Warden out ~
First of, I'm extremely sorry for the sidetrack. I simply found this topic really interesting.
Now second of, after refreshing a bit on reeds feats, his intellect in most occasions is closer to a plot device than something that is actually quantifiable. Depending on the story and the author I can absolutely see reed outsmarting the likes of korvac and if well written it wouldn't be far fetched.
I think the biggest thing reed has in his favor is how established his intellect is in the overall narrative of marvel. I can absolutely see a character like moon girl somewhat "replacing" reed as the most intelligent person (on earth), because essentially that seems to be what she is designed to be.
But "logically" speaking, reeds body altering abilities might actually make it extremely hard if not impossible for him to actually reach an absolute intellectual limit.
I think overall the smartest entity in the universe will always be the one marvel deems to be the smartest entity. And in my opinion they're intentionally vague when it comes to stuff like this.
By that I mean stuff like cho outsmarting banner in his field of expertise, or pym being declared scientist supreme of earth, while being told he's still not as smart as reed richards.
Is reed smarter than rick sanchez, though?
