Only the Chosen May Wield: Just before Civil War, the FF have to deal with a newly returned Doom trying to lift Thor's hammer (Thor having lost it due to a temporary case of dead). Of course, Doom is not worthy. Neither is Ben (who figured he'd give it a try). Alliterative Name: Reed Richards and Susan Storm. In fact, Stan Lee has commented that he used this to help keep the names straight. Eventually, Sue's name would cease to be alliterative, although the hyphenate Sue Storm-Richards is sometimes used.

Character-Driven Strategy: After a "Freaky Friday" Flip courtesy of a Celestial, Reed Richards's mind occupies Doctor Doom's body, and vice versa. During a tense standoff, Reed-in-Doom plays a game of chess with Ben Grimm. Normally, Reed plays a quiet game, mostly keeping his pawns and pieces in a tight formation to secure his half of the chessboard. During this game, however, Ben remarks that Reed is using an uncharacteristic ruthless strategy, more fitting for Doctor Doom, that aims to dominate as much of the board as possible. Though he hides it well, Ben is worried that Reed is becoming more like Doom the longer he remains in Doom's body and armor.
