Reed's greatest and arguably most powerful invention was the Cosmic Cube... "The Cube has the power to bend reality to the will of whoever holds it. It would not be hyperbole to call it the deadliest weapon in the history of science.": http://i.imgur.com/DdeRqN7.jpg http://i.imgur.com/nfScMO5.jpg
To be more precise, 1 year inside the dome equates to a scant 0.19 seconds in the real world: http://i.imgur.com/uo9KNOr.jpg
During his time inside The Dome, Reed vastly expanded his intellect, and took on the title of "The Maker". We also learn that Reed is effectively ageless/immortal: http://i.imgur.com/eS9C4ZD.jpg
So naturally, Reed unlocked numerous abilities we hadn't previously seen from him...
He can now adjust his eardrums to hear at "nearly any volume": http://i.imgur.com/8supHi5.jpg
His overall perceptions evolved to such an extent that he could detect Sue even when she was invisible: http://i.imgur.com/SvSUOCa.jpg
The Children of tomorrow are a group of hyper-evolved humans that Reed engineered inside The Dome. Due to the temporal difference that exist inside The Dome, these beings gained thousandS of years of evolution in the span of "a handful of heartbeats" on earth: http://i.imgur.com/18wXUDY.jpg
We also learn that he can grow full-sized 'replicas' of himself that can act independently/separately from his person. In fact, Sue and Thing were fighting one such 'replica' in the above scans, while 'prime' Reed was operating on Tony: http://i.imgur.com/qDdZvMd.jpg
Great question. I posted these scans earlier in the thread, but I should have placed a bit more emphasis on them.
Fury trusts Reed, because despite all the bad he's done in the past, he also did a LOT of good. When was freed from his prison during the final arc of Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates, for example, Reed vowed to enact changes that would not only ensure the longevity of the planet--but of the galaxy as a whole: http://i.imgur.com/durszJX.jpg
So yeah, even Fury realized how much good Reed was actually capable of... "In a couple of days, he did more good than we've done in years.": http://i.imgur.com/q1uqwu3.jpg
That is why he seems to fully trust Reed in current continuity.

This little gem also slipped by me earlier...
According to Tony, an encryption Reed placed in his computer system would require either "five hundred years or a computer the size of a solar system" to crack: http://i.imgur.com/6pzK6s4.jpg
Even the top minds of the Ultimate Universe(and Tony IS one such mind) can't even begin to compare to Reed's intelligence. Absolutely insane.

The cover-art released for Secret Wars #3 indicates that Ultimate Reed will survive the incursion-event, and play some sort of role in the upcoming reboot: (please log in to view the image)
Gives me a good reason to read it.
