Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dannyalcatraz" data-source="post: 3577158" data-attributes="member: 19675">And yet its much more of a stretch than the plotline I suggested beforeYou know...he's got Ben in "Gadget X" running some tests, and the containment field goes wonky-jog.  The inversion of the field is detected and RR shuts the machine down quickly, but not before the FF's powers are scrambled (unbeknownst to them at the time).Then, before the discovery is made, SS & Big G show up, cosmic battle for fate of Earth ensues, RR uses the machine again to get Johnny all of their powers in one (as per the movie clip), and somehow Earth is off the menu in 90-120minutes.This is something well within the established boundaries of the mythology of the characters involved (Ben's dissatisfaction with his life as the Thing, RR's multiple unsuccessful super-scientific attempts to change his friend's fate).  It introduces no extraneous characters.  It involves no arbitrary changes to any characters (other than the switch itself).  It introduces no plot holes (like why not use this ability 100% of the time, or why the SS doesn't finish them off in their minutes of confusion).Simple, neat, and non-arbitrary.</blockquote>
