The only reason he's stronger than you is that he thinks he's stronger than you. That and he's pretty damn strong at his base level. Those big bulging thingies all over him aren't for show.
Plus bonus points for use of the word 'mosey'.

Yeah, breaking his confidence didn't turn him into a 98-pound weakling, it took him from Superman powerful to being vulnerable to Sue Richards knocking him out. Like she did the Hulk.

I have a plan.
Sue certainly isn't a slouch in the power department either.

Sue Richards knocked out the Hulk? I didn't realize she was strong; I thought she was merely invisible.
Oh, and what's the scoresheet on Thing vs. Hulk, anyway? They fought again recently.

So are the force fields that she knocked the Hulk out with.

So she can do force fields? So Violet is entirely a mini-Mrs. Fantastic? Nifty.

Yeah, she is. Never thought about that. Huh!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The Incredible family maps to the FF pretty well. Elastigirl to Reed, Violet to Sue, and Mr. Incredible to the Thing. Plus, the baby can burst into flame.

Which is almost as funny a take on the FF as Dr. Impossible's clan in the Venture Bros. episode "Ice Station Impossible". So wrong.

Yep. I totally got a FF vibe off them (didn't think of Mr. Incredible as the Thing, though I guess that works well enough), and I was very happy to see Jack-Jack pull a Human Torch. But I had no idea Sue could do force fields too, so Violet's power seemed a little arbitrary. Now? So much sense! Awesome.
