Ain't it the truth.

Anubis said:I don't know. I just think he's bitter and opinionated. years of being screwed over by the big two have made him something of a sour puss. An old whiney fuddie duddy. But when you think about it, thats an accurate description of about 90% of all message board posters. The majority should love him. He's they're king.
You're asking us to put logic and Dr. Doom's actions together. Can't be done.HR-PUFF&STUFF said:heres a question why can't doom just use his tech or magic to fix his face. i mean if he can steal the powers of the sliver surfer, and the beyonder he should be able to fix some cuts and scars.
Yep. Shunting the powers out of Ben's body would only cause them to jump into another nearby body.Harlekin said:Didn't Waid come up with something in how the cosmic rays that power the Fantastic Four can't be taken away, only re-distributed? (like Reed ultimately did when switching Johnny and Sue's powers).
That is correct. For Reed to cure Ben, he would have to make someone else the Thing. He's even volunteered himself quite a few times. Obviously, Ben would have none of it. And magic in the Marvel universe is just energy like anything else, so Dr. Strange isn't going to be able to come up with a different way, either.Harlekin said:Didn't Waid come up with something in how the cosmic rays that power the Fantastic Four can't be taken away, only re-distributed?

There have been Stories where Reed has inferred / admitted that part of the problem is Grimm. That in a best case scenario, Ben can turn it on and off, but because he doesn't believe "something?" he remains a monster.GoldenAgeHero said:i think he can, if this guy can build a portal traveling into dimensions and build an invention on the spot, im so freakin sure he can find a cure ben grimm. seriously all the **** reed has built in the past, really proves that he doesnt have an excuse why he can't cure ben grimm. i also think in new avengers illumanti #1 what reed said was BS.
He chooses not to.HR-PUFF&STUFF said:heres a question why can't doom just use his tech or magic to fix his face. i mean if he can steal the powers of the sliver surfer, and the beyonder he should be able to fix some cuts and scars.
exactlygildea said:In theory he should be able to. But for the sake of the comic he can't.
Its one of those things you have to let slide.
XwolverineX said:I always thought it'd be awesome if Banner and th' Hulk became to distinctive personalities, sharin' th' same host. Kinda like th' Prince an' th' Dark prince from Prince of Persia 3. Readin' their conversations with each other would be quite amusin'. An' it would be cool how th' dialogue would change dependin' on whom was in control at that certain point in time.
The Red Skull said:There's a lovely little scene in 1602 that pretty much sums Ben's condition up:
Ben: Reed -- you spoke of transmutations. Can you restore me to my humanity? I have been a monster too long.
Reed: In truth, I do not know, my friend. The natural sciences say yes, a cure is possible. But the laws of story would suggest that no cure can last for very long, Benjamin. For in the end, alas, you are so much more interesting and satisfying as you are.
("Laws of story"; wonderful bit of Gaiman scripting there).
