The Fantastic Four Just Redifined the Big Bang
The thought struck Valeria following their last effort to reinstate Ben’s abilities. The prospect of revisiting the initial explosion now seems utterly mad, and it indeed is. Reed underscores that no vessel could withstand even a second in that area without being instantly vaporized. This is why Valeria devises a strategy for them to remain there for an incredibly brief period – only a few nanoseconds.
The strategy involves time-traveling momentarily to expose The Thing to cosmic rays, then swiftly returning to the present before they transform into the first burnt toast of the universe. Sue will employ her remaining powers to erect a protective shield, and Johnny will absorb enough heat to keep everything intact. It’s a slim chance, but it’s their last resort to secure the power necessary to thwart Doom from dominating the world.
