• In Fantastic Four v1 #118 (1972), an alternate reality designated Earth-A showed Reed Richards and Ben Grimm embarking on the astronaut mission together with the two affected by the cosmic rays. This incident led to Richards developing a rock-like form whilst Grimm gaining stretching powers in a reversal of roles compared to the main reality. Susan Storms later left Reed for Ben leading to Richards falling into depression where he exiled himself onto an island where he built robots to replay events in history. During this time, he encountered the Earth-616 Ben Grimm who later returned to his own world. After this event, the Earth-A Reed Richards recovered from the depression to create his own company named Reed Richards Robotics that designed the robotic Andrones.
• In What If? v2 #30 (1991), an alternate version of events saw Susan Richards die in the birth of her second child Suzy Richards.

• In Fantastic Four #387-#399 (1994-1995), an alternate version of Reed Richards was driven mad for failing to save Earth from Galactus after being distracted by the advanced technology at the World Devourers home. As a result, he began wearing a masked armed uniform and took on the identity of the Dark Raider who started eliminating Reed Richards in every reality. He was later killed by the Invisible Woman in the Negative Zone.
• In Ultimate Fantastic Four v1 #1 (2004), the Ultimate Marvel version of Reed Richards was introduced into that universe.

His latest project was creating a ship that ran on cosmic rays and took his wife, brother-in-law and best friend on the mission.
