Fantastic rubberman, Dr. Reed Richards' acute inability to decide on his love for Susan Storm, stunning miss invisible, intrigued me. His brilliance is also his failure. Everything he sees is accounted for by variables that must be factored and weighed before any action is forthcoming from him. Variables in equations allow us to predict a future outcome for a scenario. With sufficient variables and subsequent number crunching, we assume that we will be able to make better judgements. But love is not quantifiable. Chaos reigns and love is the ultimate manifestation of how unpredictable our universe really is - it's beyond comprehension, beyond control. Good thing Reed realizes it in the end, by embracing his true love for Susan.
What happens next? Well, Reed should just let God do his job.
