Upon learning the situation, Reed also enlisted the assistance of Victor Von Doom. He himself chose to gain the assistance of his son Reed and his friend Ben (the Thing) while still in college. With he and only one other remaining, Nathaniel used his grandchildren of the future to help him with his plans. He chose not to participate in the Great Hunt but knew that one day it would come to him. Oddly enough, the reality in which they were stranded and forced to do battle was the home reality of Nathaniel responsible for the event taking place. Thus began the Great Hunt in which each version of Nathaniel began killing the others or resorted to committing suicide, the goal of all to be the last one standing. He ordered their deaths but did so in a most unexpected way: by making a game out of the execution process. This event garnered the attention of Immortus, a future incarnation of his alleged son Kang, who saw this as a great risk to the timestream. There was one side effect though: every Nathaniel Richards that existed in all realities were brought six thousand years into his future. Having been in contact with the explosion, Nathaniel gained control over time and possibly immortality (at minimum he gained a great extension on his aging). Sometime later, Nathaniel and Howard Stark's fight with The Night Machine ended with a massive explosion of temporal energy caused by the destruction of a powerful engine within The Night Machine's body. It is believed that Nathaniel is the father of Kang the Conqueror, which if it's true would make Kang half-brother to Mr. Nathaniel then took leave and ventured to another timeline. ![]() Uatu, who decided not to stay and aid his people in rebuilding him, teleported Nathaniel and the others back to his base in The Blue Area of The Moon. ![]() With Exitar gone, The Celestials retreated to far corners of The Universe and began the several thousand year process of rebuilding his armor and bringing him back to full power, while The Watchers did the same to The One, an Exitar-sized Watcher seeking to bring about the end of The Universe and free The Watchers of their Oath. While inside Exitar, Nathaniel and his allies were assaulted by Exitar's anti-bodies, who managed to incapacitate Nathaniel and the others, with the exception of The Invisible Woman who managed to reach the mind-chamber and sever Exitar's connection to our plane of existence. Sometime later, Nathaniel, The Fantastic Four, The Fantastic Force and Kristoff Vernard became wrapped up in an epic final confrontation between The Celestials and their arch-nemesis' The Watchers.Īfter revealing that the source of The Invisible Woman's powers was actually the same wavelength that The Celestials use to control and maintain the existence of their armor in our reality and its counterparts, he managed to infiltrate the armor of Exitar the Exterminator, one of the most powerful Celestials in existence. With the help of Agatha, the plan was successful and Nathaniel took his grandson to the future where he trained him as best he could alongside his aunt, Huntara. He had come from the future where he had learned that his grandson would set off a chain of events and came back to his son's life to take the boy away. Years later, Nathaniel once again appears in the lives of the FF, but this time with more dire consequences. Reed and the rest of the team eventually escaped but decided to leave Nathaniel behind. It was found out that it was his wife who was the cruel tyrant, manipulating Nathaniel's love for her and ultimately going too far. In time the truth would come to light, with the appearance of his son and the rest of the Fantastic Four. ![]() The daughter while beautiful, manipulated him and used Nathaniel's inventions for her own gain, the people of that dimension thinking Nathaniel was the cruel warlord. In reality, however, Nathaniel had traveled to a different dimension which was mixed in with cowboys and fantasy, and he stayed there upon meeting and falling in love with the daughter of the leader of the place. By the time Reed hit adulthood, his father disappeared (presumed dead) and Nathaniel left him all his fortune so his son could fulfill his dream. Nathaniel, always the scientist, was secretly developing a machine that would allow him to travel through different dimensions. Unfortunately, around the time Reed was 7 years old, his mother had passed away. He lived happily with his family, noting his son's intellect at a young age and trying his best to encourage it along with his wife. Nathaniel Richards is the loving husband of Evelyn Richards and father of Reed Richards who would later become the famous superhero, Mr.
