365 Days with Ben Grimm, Day 277: What If? Week, Day 1

What if... you could travel to parallel worlds? The same year, the same Earth, only a different dimension. A world where the Russians rule America, or where your dreams of becoming superstar came true, where Captain America was elected President, or where Nick Fury fought World War II in spaaaaaaaaaaaaace! Uatu, The Watcher, can see into these parallel worlds, and observe the small variations that lead to...different Things. Watch along with Uatu and witness only seven of the infinite numbers of Ben Grimms...and ask yourself the bewildering question...

Welcome to Earth-772, a world where instead of rejecting Spider-Man's application to the Fantastic Four, Reed Richards admitted the young webslinger to their team, necessitating all new emblems, plus an end to all those "four" puns in the titles of FF stories. This world was the first ever seen in What If?, in the debut issue in February 1977, and the story of this altered universe continued in What If? #21 (June 1980). And even if you don't have the 20/2 to the power of infinity vision of Uatu, you can still read all about What If? #1 at Siskoid's Blog of Geekery! So read, enjoy, and keep watching the multiverse!
