[ Boy Narrating ] ln issue
number 141 of the Fantastic Four,

:03:01
published in November, 1973,
Reed Richards has to use
his antimatter weapon...

:03:06
on his own son who Annihilus
has turned into a human atom bomb.

:03:11
It was a typical predicament
for the Fantastic Four...

:03:14
because they weren't
like other superheroes;
they were more like a family.

:03:19
And the more power they had, the more
harm they could do to each other...

:03:22
without even knowing it.
:03:24
That was the meaning
of the Fantastic Four:

:03:26
that a family is like
your own personal antimatter.

:03:31
Your family is the void
you emerge from and the place
you return to when you die.

:03:36
And that's the paradox:
:03:39
the closer you're drawn back in,
the deeper into the void you go.
