    Ever since I saw the new variant cover, I couldn't help but ask this question.  :D

    Possibly the best Reed artwork ever!

    The cover is really good. Plus, Reed makes a lot more sense with a beard to me. Cap just should be clean-shaven.

    Sorry, Mr. Fantastic, but I prefer Captain America, especially with his beard.

    Lumbercap looks better overall, but his beard looks like he just hasn't shaved in a couple of months. Reed has actually taken care of and styled his, so even tho he doesn't look as good, I have to give him the nod on the beard specifically.

    I always think of Reed as a bit absent minded mad scientist and so that beard is just far too cultivated for my liking.

    As for Cap - the original premise of Nomad was beardless but during the 80's when Steve loses the Cap mantle he rocked a proper beard which is what Infinity War paid homage to:

    Joe Manganiello/Chris Evans Cap FTW! The beard elevates him at least a full rank.

    The more I look at it, the more I am convinced that Reed's beard is a bit sinister looking. Hmm...is that really Reed or could it possibly be an imposter? I suspect the nice clean shaven Reed is trapped in the Negative Zone even as I type this. That would also explain the character rebalance...hmm...maybe somebody should alert Nick Fury.

    Look at Reed's power-stance...both crossed arms AND hands on hips. really sends a message

    Yes, a message that his beard has evil intentions.

    I know it's not a full beard, but you have to consider 3* Dr. Strange's goatee...
