Darn it. Now I can't stop wondering how that pairing would work out. And how frightened J'onn would have to be of Johnny, on some level. Especially if the classic misunderstanding where the heroes fight each other is part of the equation.

A little tweak:

Reed: We've gotten to the point where we're finishing each other's…

Batman: …pi?

Reed: Precisely.

It is impossible to "finish" pi.

I like the way you have the FF demonstrating their powers within the context of the 'story': the Torch burning the webs, Reed stretching through them, the Thing muscling his way out and the outlines of Sue's invisible legs defined by the wrapped webs.

And this a slightly unusual pose for Doom but somehow perfect.

Very nice indeed!

JB is the best at demonstrating what a hero's powers are. I loved looking for the "power intro" while reading his FF. I think it was his big Comics Interview interview that explained how every issue is someone's first and they need to be introduced to the team's powers in some way. This reminds me of that.
