This is one of my favourite panels of the Fantastic Four ever.
Really.
I just love the idea of Reed kneeling down next to this piece of Kirby tech, his fingers probing through the ground looking for the power cables. I also love imagining that, just out of shot, his fingers start dividing into thinner tendrils, like roots. It doesn't happen - regardless of what he does with his body, he always maintains the basic structure of the human body - but it's lovely to imagine!
