Meet the family.
Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic
- This equation not only confirms alternate dimensions, it suggests that parallel Earths exist on different dimensional planes... [sees his students are bored] Who wants to see a big explosion?
- Before we went up the first time, you couldn't turn invisible, Ben wasn't a rock, and Johnny never caught fire.
- It's my fault. I stretched the bounds of space, and they heard.
- The best pilot in the world, right here.
- I'd shake, but I'm stretched thin at the moment.
- We attempted to negotiate, but Galactus... he asked too high a price.
- We make a point to do family dinner every week. Sunday at seven on the dot. No matter what, we're all here.
- We will protect you.
Sue Storm / Invisible Woman
- Ben has always been a rock. Johnny is... Johnny. And I am right here. Whatever life throws at us, we'll face it together, as a family.
- My mother used to say, "mother would move heaven and earth for her child".
- I'm not giving up. We will face this together. We will fight it together... as a family.
Johnny Storm / Human Torch
- You're gonna be the best mom in the world. And you are gonna be the best dad, just kidding, you are out of your depth. We are gonna be the best uncles ever.
- Tell Franklin Uncle Johnny loves him.
Ben Grimm / The Thing
- Yeah. Best looking, he means.
- H.E.R.B.I.E., how's that sauce coming? Yeah, I'll be the judge of that. [tastes the sauce with his pinkie finger] Okay. [claps his hand] Okay! Is this guy good or what? [chuckles] I want to add a couple cloves of garlic, not because it's not delicious. I just want to add a little bit of zip, okay?
Shalla-Bal / Silver Surfer
- Your world will be consumed by the Devourer. There is nothing you can do to stop him. For he is a universal force, as essential as the stars. Hold your loved ones close and speak to words you’ve been afraid. Use this time to rejoice and celebrate for your time is short. I herald his beginning. I herald your end. I herald... Galactus.
- It's a blessing. It means "Die with yours".
Galan / Galactus
- Clever, little bugs.
- I was once little like you. Billions of years ago. A man from another world. Before this relentless, eternal hunger.
- He possesses the Power Cosmic, and he will inherit this cursed throne.
