I got ordained by them at 14 in order to perform a ceremony for my Uncle and my now Aunt.

I would have thought so, but I can't find one -- there's a What if Spider-Man Had Joined the Fantastic Four? but that's it. (It looks like in that one he has a generally successful career with them, but Susan Storm breaks it off with Reed and leaves the FF to marry Namor and become Queen of the Atlanteans.)

So it works well for both of them.

Maybe Spider-Man is a stabilizing influence and this is the one Reed without a Sue that doesn't turn evil? Maybe? One can hope?

It absolutely has a bit where Reed is going to murder all of Atlantis but in the end it�s Johnny who stays a villain. Reed just realized he sucks poo poo and takes the L.

616 Reed not joining the council of Reeds was because he was the only Reed with a dad and wanted to stay with his family, so I think it's possible he still doesn't become evil, if he meets the right woman after Sue leaves.

Is that the actual reason for evil Reeds?

There's What if Namor joined the Fantastic Four? and Sue ends up with Namor there as well.

I'd say anyone joining the Fantastic Four ends up with Sue/Namor, but What if the Silver Surfer joined the Fantastic Four? ends with the Surfer as Mephisto's annoying roommate in Hell.

Yeah, Johnny tries to stop Sue and Reed stops him and goes "this sucks but it's her decision to make, not yours".

It ends with him being kinda hosed up about it, but also hopeful that with Sue to act as a moderating influence on Namor (and as a Human/Atlantian liaison who is less emotional and prone to flipping the gently caress out than Namor is) she might usher in an era of warmer relationships between the surface and the oceans.

I had actually conflated the original with the sequel in What If 21 where Reed and Johnny are so lovely to Spider-Man by constantly blaming this teenager for why Sue left that he and Ben just quit and Reed lies to the UN to get permission to invade Atlantis. Reed was in fact not going to kill all of Atlantis, he was just going to remove their ability to breathe water and force them onto land where Namur would no longer be prince(?) and Sue would divorce him.

This would have killed Sue and the baby she was giving birth to at the time and Reed realized that he was probably wrong to kill a baby.

Hey, Spidey got invited to be a member of the Avengers twice! I was always kind of disappointed as a kid that they didn't do more with that.

IIRC the first time he turned them down because he preferred working on his own -- I don't have that issue, but it's referenced in a few places in the ones I do have. A few years later, when the Avengers are looking for new members, Thor invites him to try out; he's flattered but still lukewarm on the idea. Then a few issues later (#235) he finds out in a conversation with Shulk that being an Avenger is a salaried position, $52k/year (about $140k today) + room and board at Avengers Mansion if you want it. Since, being Spider-Man, he's in dire straights financially, he decides that maybe learning to work in a team is worth it for that kind of financial security.

In the next two issues he tries to follow up on Thor's offer, but they're in a rush to deal with poo poo going down at Project Pegasus -- so he stows away on the Quinjet and ends up helping them deal with a lava-man invasion, four escaped supervillains, and an impending nuclear meltdown. Cap offers to bring him on as a probationary member, and he accepts, but when they're doing the paperwork back at Avengers Mansion their contact with the feds flips his poo poo at the idea of everyone's favourite threat and/or menace joining the Avengers. Cap offers to go to bat for him, but Spidey decides that it's not worth getting into a fight with the federal government about and leaves.

The first time was in an early Avengers issue when they consider how being tested by a robot Spider-Man and then being saved by the real Spider-Man is a pretty good endorsement but Stark says no.

The first time in a Spider-Man comic is when they go "oh yeah, get out there and stop the HULK" as their initiation test, which seems like bullshit. Parker finds out Hulk has an even worse secret identity life than him though and lets Banner go out of sympathy.

Kind of? They try to recruit him and he's all for Duplicate Science Times but they're like "you have to abandon your family, they're holding you back" and he's like nah, not worth it. Then it turns out they're all evil because family ties are the only thing providing any kind of moral compass for a Reed.

The Namor thing is kinda funny because it weirdly makes Sue one of the more realistically sexual women in 616. She's married, monogamous but there's this one guy she kinda hates but also kinda gets her motor running. She'd never do anything about it, but...

That's a 'Klegg', an alien race of alligator men that shows up fairly often in the Judge Dredd world.

This one is a rare gentle soul who is very interested in musical theatre, and has decided to stage a big budget musical biography of Judge Dredd. It's a spoof on Lin-Manuel Miranda and 'Hamilton'.
