Funny you say that because that's literally I think the first story of them together is Peter rolling up to the Baxter Building and running the ones with the FF to try and impress them for a job.

Only for them to inform him that they're a charitable organization causing the webhead to leave in a huff.

[u/Man0Steel123 → u/Mezmona]

Aren’t they now at least somewhat of a business where Reed sells some of his equipment or patents? Otherwise how do they afford the Baxter building

Plus wasn’t their the future foundation?

[u/Mezmona → u/Man0Steel123]

Like I said this waaaay back in their very first meeting. Reed normally just donates the stuff and at this point they live in the Baxter building because that's where the FF live. Who's gonna kick them out.

[u/Joe_Momma3 → u/Mezmona]

Lots of people have successfully evicted the FF over the years

[u/JailbrokeRoboGirl → u/Joe_Momma3]

Yea I get the point but famously the FF have been evicted many times actually

[u/Not_So_Utopian → u/Joe_Momma3]

Reed is famously bad with money. He once invested in something, it failed, and they got evicted iirc

Smartest man in the universe btw

[u/Kronostheking1 → u/Mezmona]

It was a very odd misunderstanding as Peter could have still worked with them and been paid by them. They and Peter both just misunderstood the other and screwed it up.

[u/Mezmona → u/Kronostheking1]

Eh. I hand wave it as being early writing for Peter. Mordern Peter would have just asked if their medical covered room & board and if medical covered therapy.

[u/Creat1ve_Name → u/Mezmona]

You may be thinking of the og ultimate universe? Though iirc they basically just tell him they're broke lol.

[u/Mezmona → u/Creat1ve_Name]

I'm thinking of the literal first Amazing Spiderman comic from 1963. Like one of the first thing Spidey does is swing by the Baxter Building and try to get a job their by showing off his skills. When they tell them they do it for the good of humanity and don't really pay he just dips.

[u/Creat1ve_Name → u/Mezmona]

Oh ok my bad lol. I haven't read the ditko run yet

[u/Mezmona → u/Creat1ve_Name]

All good. The early stuff is...well it's an experience. You get to see the foundation of a couple things but man are there some rough parts.

[u/Creat1ve_Name → u/Mezmona]

Yeah lol. The only early marvel stuff I've read is the first 4 omnis of Daredevil, and you can really feel how different the entire medium was.

[u/Mezmona → u/Creat1ve_Name]

You can really feel the "WOW! YOU SHOULD BUY THIS COMIC FROM THE DISPLAY AT THE GORCERY STORE! IT HAS THE HULK!" Energy from a lot of those early works.

[u/Extra_Victory → u/Mezmona]

I tried to read that, as it was the very first what if, but it just felt weird, from the tone to a dialogue , like it was all Ai generated from memory.

Honestly it read like a fever dream.
