I know he used the machine that Reed built. But how did Ben figure out (in a matter of minutes) how to reverse the already reversed artificial storm? And I know the answer will probably be "because it's a movie" but this always bugged me since Ben doesn't have much of a science background. Also, the machine didn't even work until Victor supplied power to it while simultaneously took power from it (which also doesn't make much sense). Would appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

LOL late reply, but keep in mind in order to become the Thing again, the power would have to match the power of the original storm they encountered in space. The machine as it was originally designed was the inverse of the storm, Ben somehow reversed the inverse storm and didn't even have to drain the city's power to do it.

It's possible that only making a reverse wave of the energy needed that much power.
Formerly l5rfox.
And there was one world with nothing but shrimp. I tired of it quickly.

I though the same.
The main issue is where did he get the power necessary since Doom wasn't there.
