I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
Ben Grimm, his mother, SHIELD... He's trying to convince everyone he's changed, but some aren't convinced, nor do they think that means he shouldn't pay for what he's already done. I think they're right; he's done some really bad things he has to pay, and I don't think he should be the one to decide how. He has the brains and firepower to make that decision, however, and I suppose everyone should just be happy that he's not trying to overpower everyone...
Still finding this a fascinating look at a supervillain who's trying to redeem himself. Loving it in fact.
