"When the mice stop dying, the Fantastic Four will return."

"You propose we re-create this other world here? This... "Earth Six-One-Six"?

In an untampered version of Earth 6160's history, the exposure to the cosmic ray storm would have caused Reed and Sue Storm, Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm to develop super-powers, becoming the super hero team and family known as the Fantastic Four. However, Reed's reality had secretly been invaded by the Maker, a villainous alternate version of Reed himself, who had set out to reshape a world to his image.

The Maker altered history to his whims, veering the world off its intended course. As part of his plan, the Maker delayed Reed's fateful space flight by hours by altering Reed's calculations, which delayed the flight by several hours and caused the crew to miss the cosmic storm.

Following Reed's life collapsing, the Maker further toyed with Reed by abducting and imprisoning him within 'The City', his base of operations in Latveria. Using the temporally accelerated environment of the City, The Maker repeatedly tortured Reed, surgically disfiguring him and goading him into accepting that his name was Doom

Claiming that he doomed his loved ones and that he should just accept him. Reed resisted at first but cracked after the Maker welded a metal mask to his face, imitating a similar faceplate once worn by the Maker's nemesis, Doctor Doom.

The Maker's hates Reed Richards so much, that he erased Reed's favorite sandwich out of existence. "There's no tuna salad sandwiches in the new earth 6160."
