I don't know. But I think he used to read comics as a kid. Reed has only debut a year after Ralph, and for a stretchy guy "Elongated Man" is more fitting than "Mister Fantastic." So remembering the name Elongated Man and knowing the Fantastic Four is led by a stretchy guy can lead you to believe that Reed Richards is the Elongated Man. Mike also hasn't read comics in a long time, so his knowledge is limited and could only go by what he remembers from decades ago.
