The Invisible Woman (Susan "Sue" Storm Richards) is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is a founding member of the Fantastic Four and was the first female superhero created by Marvel during the Silver Age of Comic Books.
Sue Storm received her powers by being exposed to a cosmic storm and was originally known as the Invisible Girl. She possesses two powers: invisibility and force fields. Her invisibility power deals with bending light waves and allows her to render herself and other objects invisible. She can also project powerful fields of invisible psionic, hyperspace-based energy that she uses for a variety of offensive and defensive effects, including shields, blasts, explosions, and levitation. Sue plays a central role in the lives of her hot-headed younger brother Johnny Storm, her brilliant husband Reed Richards, her close friend Ben Grimm, and her children (Franklin and Valeria). She was also romantically involved with Namor the Sub-Mariner for a time, and they remain close friends.
Invisible Woman was portrayed by Rebecca Staab in the unreleased 1994 film The Fantastic Four, Jessica Alba in the 2005 film Fantastic Four and its 2007 sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, and Kate Mara in the 2015 film Fantastic Four.

Ikran's Fantastic Four OC series[]
Her fanfics take place during the 2005 version of the superhero quartet. Of course, she went with her brother, Reed, Ben, and in this case Ikran's OC, Terri, and Victor was about to propose to her till the guys were hit by a cosmic storm. She was able to turn invisible based on her emotions, even make forcefields; rumor had it she can form one inside a person's body and make it explode, as told by John Myers which made Terri alarmed! Much like Reed, she was impressed on Terri's telepathy/telekinesis, especially from the fact she has mental illness. Eventually, after she was insulted by Johnny at an X-Game broadcast, she was officially named as the Invisible Woman. She'd grown attached to Reed to the point on being his fiancé. The quartet defeated Dr. Doom, and later she assured a distraught Terri to become a member of the team and attend a party in a boat in their honor! Since then, Terri no longer felt ashamed on being a heroine, and Sue was a mentor to her.
After that, she and the team consumed tainted wine, which made Terri sick, thus the aftereffects made the team disband and she pushed Reed onto a collapsing wall unit! She separated from him along with her brother and Ben! Terri and Reed eventually found her, as she was being brainwashed by a sorceress, offering some hero to take her place as imprisonment for the Dimensional Prison. Reed took the bullet, while Sue, in her rage confronted her! He eventually came to, and parts of the ship was used for the future FantastiCar.
Reed then saw Sue reject him, then he left and got nursed back to health at the Mutant Island. It turned out that that Susan was a disguise by Mira to persuade Reed to join her as a protector of the Mutants, as vengeance against humans! The real Sue helped confront her, and she assured Reed it wasn't her that made the severe altercation. She and the team became idols to the lost Mutants.
Finally, there was the space voyage searching for Shalla-Bal. She stayed on Earth while Reed, Terri and Norrin and visit Planet Zenn-La. She boarded the Zenn-Lavian mothership with the team as they went thru the Aurora Borealis. Her time to shine came as she went with the night crew to refuel/replenish supplies for the mothership, though they were ambushed by Possessor! She was brainwashed by her, and she attacked the team! Johnny and Norrin dealt with the enemy, while Reed, Ben, Terri and the crew were hapless against her! Terri strategized for Ben to get the tall mirror from her cabin which trapped her dark spirit! Terri tossed it and shattered on some space rock, restoring her soul, albeit comatose. She came to by Reed's side, and she volunteered to infiltrate the Emperor's base! It was booby-trapped and she got captured, till Norrin came to their aide and helped Ben to disable the controls around the collapsing fortress.
She and the team were unable to defeat Mephisto to save Shalla-Bal's soul! She, Ben, Johnny and Terri were in the AstroWing that crashed, leaving her comatose! Eventually, the group escaped with Shalla's soul, where her body was in the Magik Domain! They were able to retrieve it before the intergalactic graveyard was consumed by a black hole! It was a successful mission!! And Sue missed Norrin, the one who saved her from the missile, and the one whom Sue convinced that people do make choices when needed.
Trivia[]
- Susan Storm was one of Ikran's favorite members of the Fantastic 4 next to Reed and Ben, ever since the 2005 film and Rise of the Silver Surfer; she always found Jessica Alba to be the ideal actress for her. Ikran was so disappointed she and Reed never got a chance to bare Franklin Richards in a third film!
