The as it were reason Reed and Sue discover any strife with them is that, since they are Specialist Doom's manifestations, their number one convention is the annihilation of the Incredible Four.

The Reed Richards of ancient would see no issue in wiping out the town, advocating it as the pulverization of rebel equipment.
