Ever since I saw the new variant cover, I couldn’t help but ask this question. 
Discuss!
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.
LumberReed?
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.
It says: “Look upon my re-re-work, ye mighty, and despair…”
Who wants free powers? Free powers for everybody who brings a sword or shield! Or fists! Now just step into my lab and feed them into this random machine…

Funny. My favorite basketball player is “The Beard”, James Harden.
I know it’s not a full beard, but you have to consider 3* Dr. Strange’s goatee…
