Alan is another story, there is no explanation for his insanity. Reed was abused by his father, bullied and exclused in school, not respected by his heroes partners outside the fantastic four, blamed by an disaster that caused the death of millions of innocent people, leaving by his love Sue after making the hard decision to leave her die in order to save the world (and even after he reveals he was sure this would save her too) and the world is still a rotten place and then he is forced to live with his still abusive father again. He may not be sympathetic considering he had loved people who really appreciated him, but you can't blame him to become insane and feel at least a bit of pity for the creepy.

He has a sympathetic story, he is not sympathetic.
