Susan Storm Richards is a fictional superhero in the Marvel Comics universe. Under the code names of Invisible Girl and later, Invisible Woman, Sue Storm serves as a member of the Fantastic Four. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist/co-writer Jack Kirby, she made her first appearance in Fantastic Four #1 in November 1961.

Like the other founding members of the Fantastic Four, Sue received her powers after being exposed to a cosmic storm. Her primary power deals with light waves, allowing her to render herself and others invisible. However, she can also manipulate and project powerful fields of invisible energy which allow her to fly at high speeds, control the movements of matter, and project powerful energy shields and weapons.

An object of infatuation to adversaries Doctor Doom, and, most notably, Namor the Submariner, Sue's passive invisibility power translated into her frequent deployment as a damsel in distress during the team's early adventures. However, upon developing the ability to project highly durable fields of energy, Sue Storm became the Fantastic Four's most powerful member, and the team's second-in-command. Although in the early years Sue operated somewhat in the shadow of her hot-headed brother, Johnny Storm, and her brilliant husband Reed Richards, she is now the soul of the Fantastic Four and one of the premiere heroes in the Marvel universe.

Sue plays a central role in the lives of her brother, her husband, her children; Franklin Richards and Val Richards and her best friend, Ben Grimm.

Sue Storm is portrayed by Jessica Alba in the 2005 film Fantastic Four and its 2007 sequel, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

Publication history

Invisible Woman has primarily appeared in issues of Fantastic Four. Susan's initial power of invisibility proved to be of minor consequence in team's early missions, especially compared to the abilities of the others in the group. Eventually, the creators expanded Sue's abilities, giving her the power to render other objects and people invisible and create strong force fields and psionic blasts. Despite her enhanced abilities, Susan served primarily as an assistant and second-in-command to Reed. This changed when John Byrne began his run on the title. Under his authorship, Sue became more confident and assertive in her abilities which became more versatile and impressive. (For instance, she found she could use her force-field abilities to manipulate matter through the air, immobilize enemies, or administer long-range attacks.) Susan changed her nom de guerre to Invisible Woman, and is now recognized as one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel Universe.

Fictional character biography

Origin

As detailed in The Marvel Saga: Official History of The Marvel Universe #16, this native of Long Island is a daughter of a physician named Franklin and a woman named Mary, along with her younger brother, Jonathan. The parents left their kids alone one night to travel to a dinner honoring Dr. Storm. On the way, a tire blew out but only Mary was injured. Franklin escaped injury and insisted on operating on his wife. He was unable to save her and she passed away. After his wife's death, Dr. Franklin Storm became a gambler and a drunk, losing his medical practice, which led him to the accidental killing of a loan shark. Franklin did not defend himself in court, because he still felt guilty over Mary's death. With their father in prison, Susan had to become a mother figure for her younger brother.

While living with her aunt, Susan, at the young age of 12, met her future husband, Reed Richards, a house guest who was attending college. When she graduated high school as the award-winning captain of her Girls' Varsity Swim Team, she moved to California to attend college, where she pursued an acting career and encountered Richards again. They began to become romantically involved with each other.

Reed Richards, working in the field of Aerospace engineering, was designing a spacecraft for interstellar travel. Everything was going well until the government stopped funding of his project. Richards, wanting to see his project through, decided to make an unscheduled test flight. Originally, it was only going to be Reed and his best friend, Ben Grimm, involved, but Susan was instrumental in persuading Reed in letting her brother and herself join them on the dangerous space mission. In space, the quartet was exposed to massive amounts of cosmic radiation. As a result, they had to abort the mission and return to Earth. After the crash landing, they realized that they gained superhuman powers. Hers was the ability to become invisible at will. Realizing the potential use of their abilities, the four of them became the Fantastic Four, for the benefit of mankind.

Early career as a superhero: Invisible Girl

File:SueFF27.jpg

As the Fantastic Four, the team found themselves setting up their first headquarters in the Baxter Building in Manhattan. The Fantastic Four encountered many villains in the early part of their career, but none of them contended for Susan's affections more than Namor the Sub-Mariner. Sue felt an amount of attraction to Namor, but her heart belonged with Reed. Up until issue 22 "Return of the Moleman" her powers were limited to making herself invisible. However early on in issue 22, Sue discovered she could make other things invisible as well as create forcefields of invisible energy. Susan later found herself getting injured in battle with the Mole Man. Her father escaped from prison and operated on her to save her life. Franklin made amends with his children before returning to prison; however, the Super-Skrull found a way to kidnap Dr. Storm, mimic his appearance, and then fight the Fantastic Four as the Invincible Man. In the process of defeating the Super-Skrull, Dr. Storm sacrificed his own life to protect the Fantastic Four from a Skrull booby trap.

Wife and mother

File:SueFF106.jpg

Reed and Sue's relationship progressed more, with the two of them deciding to get married. The wedding was the event of the century, with several of New York City's preeminent superheroes in attendance. Even several super-villains wanted to attend, even if it was only for the chance to attack the Fantastic Four. Sue later became pregnant with her first child. As a result, she was unable to remain an active member of the team. Johnny's then-girlfriend, the Inhuman elementalist known simply as Crystal, joined the team, taking over Susan's roster spot.[citation needed]

Susan's cosmic irradiated blood cells served as an obstacle for her in carrying the unborn child to term. Knowing this, Reed, Johnny and Ben journeyed into the Negative Zone to acquire the Cosmic Control Rod from Annihilus. Effectively utilising the device, the baby was safely delivered and was named Franklin, in memory of Susan's father. Due to the genetically altered structure of his parents, Franklin was born a mutant, possessing vast powers of the highest possible potential. Seeking to use the boy's talents for his own sadistic purposes, Annihilus returned and successfully triggered a premature full release of Franklin's latent abilities, which were already in the process of gradual emergence. Fearing that his son could very well release enough psionic energy to eliminate all life on Earth, Reed was forced to shut Franklin's mind down, feeling there was no immediate alternative. Angry with Reed for not seeking her input in the matter, Susan left the Fantastic Four and had a marital separation from Reed. Taking her roster spot was Medusa, of the Inhumans. With the help of Namor, Susan reconciled with Reed and returned to the Fantastic Four accompanied by Franklin.

Malice and the "final appearance" of Invisible Girl

Susan eventually became pregnant for a second time. However, if she thought that her pregnancy with Franklin had had its share of trauma, this one was going to be even worse, for several reasons. This second child was birthed stillborn due to Susan having been exposed to radiation inside the Negative Zone on a previous trip. A depressed Susan was later manipulated by events set into motion by Psycho-Man into becoming Malice. Susan, with this new identity and emotions as Malice, attacked her friends and family in the Fantastic Four. She effortlessly defeated She-Hulk and Human Torch; luckily, Reed was able to save Susan by forcing her to hate him legitimately. Broken free of Psycho-Man's influence, Susan (off-panel) did something to Psycho-Man, causing him to let out a terrifying scream. After she rejoined her teammates, Susan stated that Psycho-Man would never hurt anyone ever again. Susan found herself a changed person after these events and because of this, changed her codename to the Invisible Woman. Finding a life outside the Fantastic Four, Reed and Sue were invited into the membership of the Avengers. The two of them were Avengers (in Avengers, volume one, issue 300) briefly, and later rejoined the Fantastic Four.

During the Infinity War, Susan was forced to face off against Malice, who had re-emerged in Sue's subconscious. After defeating Malice, Susan absorbed Malice into her own consciousness. Subsequently, Susan's personality was influenced by Malice, causing her to become more aggressive in battle, even creating invisible razor-like force fields she used to cut enemies. She also took to wearing a more revealing costume, which included a cut out "4" in the chest, showing her cleavage. Her son Franklin, who had traveled forth and back in time, had become the adult hero Psi-Lord, and he was able to free his mother and absorb the influence of Malice into himself. He eventually destroyed Malice from within his own mind.

Effective leader

After the apparent death of Reed, Susan found herself becoming a capable leader. Around this time, Susan, who felt Reed was still alive, kept searching for him. The Fantastic Four eventually rescued the time-displaced Reed, who found himself temporarily losing confidence in his leadership skills, since Susan was also a capable leader.

Valeria, daughter of Sue Storm and Dr. Doom

Following their return to their Earth of origin, The Fantastic Four encountered Valeria Von Doom. This new Marvel Girl came from an alternate future, where she was the child of Susan and Doctor Doom. Susan eventually came to accept the young girl as a friend. During a conflict with Abraxas, Franklin revealed that he used his abilities to save Susan's original stillborn child and placed it in another alternate future. After the ordeal involving Abraxas, Marvel Girl was restored to a baby again inside Susan's womb.

This time around, Susan, yet again, had a difficult birthing. Due to the help of Doctor Doom, Susan was able to give birth to a healthy baby girl, which Doom named Valeria, his price for helping Sue, or so she thought. Doom placed a spell on the baby, which made her his familiar spirit, to be used against the Fantastic Four. The Fantastic Four wrestled Valeria free from Doom's control, defeated him, and sent him to Hell.

Around this time, Sue underwent martial arts training with Iron Fist.

Due to their actions involving the country of Latveria, the Fantastic Four separated temporarily. The remaining members banded together to bring Ben back from Heaven.

Sue, the Human Torch

Zius, leader of a group of Galactus refugees, kidnaps Susan. His intent was to use her powers to hide planets from Galactus. Reed finds a way to fool Zius, by switching Susan and Johnny's powers. Susan assists in an adventure where Johnny becomes a herald of Galactus. Wielding a cosmic version of her powers, Johnny is able to see through people to the very cores of their personality.

Both Sue and Johnny gain a newfound respect for each other and how they deal with their powers. Soon, Reed tries to switch the powers back. The entire FF's powers are granted to four random civilians before being restored to their rightful wielders.

This parallels an earlier torture by Doom, where Sue was given an extremely painful version of Johnny's pyrokinetic ability.

Civil War

Sue's brother Johnny, enjoying a night on the town with a date, is beaten up in front of a nightclub by locals angered because his superhero/celebrity status affords him easy entry into the club while they are forced to wait in line.

During the series, Sue visits Namor to plead for assistance. He refuses and indicates she is still attracted to him, an accusation she does not deny.

Although Sue was initially part of the pro-Registration force supporting the Superhuman Registration Act, she defects after the Thor Clone, created by her husband Mister Fantastic and Tony Stark, kills famed superhero Bill Foster. In the midst of the battle, Sue arrives and creates an invisible force shield around Captain America's Secret Avengers, protecting them from Thor's lightning blasts and allowing them to escape whilst she held him off - developing a nose bleed in the process.

Later that night, Sue leaves the Baxter Building and meets Johnny. She has left a note for the sleeping Reed, informing him that the children are entirely in his care, since she intends to go underground and join Captain America's resistance forces. Her final injunction to her husband is a heartfelt request: "Please fix this."

The Storm siblings narrowly escape a team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents bent on capturing them in Civil War #5. The two further elude detection by operating under fake husband and wife identities provided by Nick Fury, becoming members of Captain America's Secret Avengers.

During the final battle depicted in Civil War #7, as Susan is about to be shot by Taskmaster, Reed Richards jumps in front of her and takes the brunt of the attack, sustaining a major injury. Outraged, Susan beats Taskmaster into the ground, leaving a large circular indentation in the earth. Following the end of the war, Susan helps with the clean-up of New York City. She, along with the other Secret Avengers, has been granted amnesty, and she returns home to Reed. Seeking to repair the damage done to their marriage as a result of the war, Sue and Reed take time off from the Fantastic Four, but ask Storm and the Black Panther to take their places in the meantime.

World War Hulk

In the second issue of World War Hulk, the Fantastic Four confront the Hulk. Reed has designed a machine that recreates the Sentry's aura. The Hulk, only momentarily calmed, discovers the ruse. Sue deploys her force fields to defend Reed against the Hulk, who shatters her protective fields with such force that she collapses, leaving Reed vulnerable. Reed suffers a vicious beating at the hands of the Hulk; Sue telephones the Sentry for help.

The Hulk transforms Madison Square Garden into a gladiatorial arena. Sue and the other defeated heroes are held captive in a lower level. The heroes are outfited with the same obedience disks that were used to suppress the Hulk's powers and force him to fight his companions on Sakaar.

Powers and abilities

Although her powers initially appeared the weakest of the team, over time Sue has become regarded by people as varied as the Skrulls [1] to Doctor Doom as the most powerful member of the Fantastic Four.

Sue can render herself wholly or partially invisible at will. She can also render other people or objects invisible, affecting up to forty thousand cubic feet of volume. She achieves these feats by mentally bending all wavelengths of light in the vicinity around herself or the target in question, and she somehow does this without causing any visible distortion effects; she also somehow directs enough undistorted light to her eyes to retain her full range of vision while invisible. Sue has also demonstrated the ability to sense other things cloaked by invisibility and reveal them.

Sue can also mentally generate a psionic field of invisible force apparently drawn from hyperspace, which she manipulates for a variety of effects. Most commonly, Sue generates near-indestructible invisible force fields around herself or other targets. These fields can withstand extremely powerful impacts, but have for example been shattered by Hulk and Maxam. She can vary the texture and tensile strength of her field to some extent, rendering it highly rigid or as soft and yielding as foam; softer variations on the field enable her to cushion impacts more gently, and are less likely to result in a psionic backlash against Sue herself (in rare cases, sufficiently powerful attacks on her psionic fields can cause her mental or physical pain).

Sue can shape her psionic force fields into invisible constructs, usually simple shapes such as barriers, columns, cones, cylinders, darts, discs, domes, platforms, rams, ramps, slides and spheres. By generating additional force behind her psionic constructs, Sue can turn them into offensive weapons, ranging from massive invisible battering rams to small projectiles such as spears and darts. She can generate solid force constructs as small as a marble or as large as 100 feet in diameter, and her hollow projections such as domes can extend up to several miles in area. By forming one of her force fields within an object and expanding the field, Sue can cause her target to explode, as when she made a Celestial's armor rupture.

She can also travel atop animated constructs such as ramps, stairs, slides, columns and stepping discs, enabling her to simulate a limited approximation of levitation or flight. She is capable of generating and manipulating multiple psionic force fields simultaneously. This power is only limited by her concentration; once she stops concentrating on a force-object, it dissipates.

Other versions

1602

In the miniseries Marvel 1602, Susan Storm is a member of the Four from the Fantastick, in reference to the ship upon which she and three others gained their powers in the Sargasso Sea. Unlike in the Marvel Universe, she is weightless and cannot become visible. She is related to the alchemical element of air as stated by Neil Gaiman.

At the start of 1602: Fantastick Four, Susan is visibly pregnant with Sir Richard Reed's child. He forbids her to join him in his pursuit of Otto von Doom while in this condition, but she goes anyway. Much to Miss Doris Evans' shock, Sir Richard and Susan have not married.

Exiles

Sue has appeared many times in the pages of Exiles. First, she was married to Black Bolt and helped him defeat that reality's tyrannical dictator Iron Man.[2]. More recently[3], another version of Sue has appeared as Madame Hydra, controller of Captain America, Longshot and Wolverine. She has even developed romantic feelings for Wolverine. This version of Sue has killed billions and plans to move onto other Earths. Along with the Exiles, she is opposed by this reality's Reed Richards and Elektra.

French Marvel Translations

Sue is named JANE Richards-Storm in French translations of Les Quatre Fantastiques adventures. She's nicknamed "Janet" by Ben Grimm.

Marvel Mangaverse

In the alternate universe of the Marvel Mangaverse, the Invisible Girl is Sioux Storm, half-sister of Jonatha Storm. Sioux has near psychosis-level emotional detachment and may suffer from Borderline Personality Disorder. In order to get her to fight — or show any interest in what is going on — Reed has her suit dump near-overdoses of battle stimulants and aggressor hormones into her bloodstream. She is a member of the Megascale Metatalent Response Team Fantastic Four. The team uses powerpacks that allow them to manifest at mecha-sized levels. Sioux projects a 200 ft tall "invisible friend" constructed from her invisible force fields. The team fights Godzilla-sized monsters from various alien xenocultures that attack Earth in order to put an end to experiments that endanger all of reality. In Mangaverse volume 1 the team destroys a mecha-like Annihilus.

In New Mangaverse Sioux is murdered by ninja assassins dispatched by the Hand.

Marvel Zombies

The Marvel Zombies universe's version of Reed Richards deliberately infected his team, including Sue, with the zombie virus, following madness from the murder of their children at the hands of a zombified She-Hulk. The Zombie FF subsequently made contact with their Ultimate counterparts, attempting to escape into the Ultimate Marvel universe. However, Zombie Reed was neutralized when the Ultimate Invisible Girl practically destroyed a chunk of his brain. After a brief period of imprisonment, the zombie FF were returned to their universe.

MC2

In the MC2 universe, Sue and Reed recently returned from space, where Sue had been holding back a rift in reality. Sue was instrumental in battling Galactus during the Last Planet Standing mini-series in which she deployed her force fields to prevent a tsunami from leveling New York.

Mutant X

In this darker reality, little is known about Susan, except that she has had an affair with that reality's Havok.

Planetary

In the Wildstorm series Planetary, written by Warren Ellis, the main adversaries of the eponymous team of superpowered investigators are an evil version of Marvel's Fantastic Four called The Four. The Sue Storm analogue is Kim Suskind, who has exactly the same powers as the original, except that she has to wear a pair of goggles in order to see while invisible. The daughter of a Nazi scientist and lover of The Four's leader, Randall Dowling, Suskind destroys her opponents by rapidly expanding a force field inside their heads, triggering a fatal explosion.

Ultimate Sue Storm

The Ultimate version of Susan Storm is similar in appearance and ability to the 616 universe's Sue Storm. She is a young adult - at least 19 - biophysics prodigy who has grown up in the Baxter Building in the gifted and talented program supervised by her father. She is romantically involved with Reed Richards.

Amalgam Comics

In Amalgam Comics, Sue was combined with Invisible Kid to form Invisible Girl, and with Ace Morgan to form Ace Storm.

Film

Unreleased film

Sue Storm is portrayed by actress Rebecca Staab in the low-budget 1994 film version of the Fantastic Four. In the movie, Sue and her brother live with their mother, who runs a boarding house where Reed Richards (Alex Hyde-White) lives during college. Sue is shown to have a crush on Reed as a young girl despite the 10-year age difference between them. When Reed designs his shuttle flight years later, he goes back to the house to invite Sue and Johnny (Jay Underwood) to join him and Ben Grimm (Michael Bailey Smith) on the journey. Upon seeing her again, Reed is immediately smitten with the fully grown Susan. During their space flight, exposure to radiation from the cosmic phenomenon known only as "Colossus" causes the team's ship to crash back down to Earth and bestows them with their famous powers. Later in the film, Sue is the one who designs the team's uniforms. At the movie's end, Reed finally confesses his feelings for her and the two are married. Though officially never released to the public, this film is widely available as a bootleg on both VHS and DVD.

2005 Film

File:Invisible Woman 06.jpg
Jessica Alba as Sue Storm.

Sue is portrayed by Jessica Alba in the 2005 film The Fantastic Four. Sue, a brilliant scientist, leads Victor Von Doom's Department of Genetic Research. She is dating Von Doom at the beginning of the film. Immediately prior to the arrival of the cosmic storm which grants her the ability to disappear and generate invisible force fields, Victor proposes to her: she turns him down. Unlike in other media, Sue was not able to render her clothes invisible, therefore when she first uses her powers, she stripped off her clothes. During the strip, her invisibility turned off, leaving her only in a bra and panties. This angered her, so was rendered invisible again. While invisible, she took off her underwear, walking through the crowd invisible and completely naked. Although her powers are influenced by her emotions, she manages to control her abilities during the team's climactic battle with Von Doom. Sue accepts Richards' proposal of marriage at the end of the film.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007 film)

In Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Sue Storm's wedding to Mr. Fantastic is interrupted by the arrival of the Silver Surfer. After coming in contact with the Silver Surfer, the Human Torch was able to switch powers with others through physical contact. When Sue checks on him, she switches powers with him, igniting her in flames. When they switch their powers back, her clothes burned off and she lies on the streets nude. Sue reminds the Silver Surfer of the woman he loved back on his homeworld. This association, and the friendship with Sue which follows, leads the Surfer to turn against his master, Galactus.

While attempting to shield the Silver Surfer with a force field, Sue is stabbed through the chest by a spear created by a cosmic-powered Dr. Doom, and she dies in Reed's arms. However, Silver Surfer uses his cosmic powers to heal Sue, tarnishing himself in the process. Before leaving to confront Galactus, Silver Surfer tells Reed to treasure every moment with Sue.

Reed and a kimono-clad Sue are married in ceremony in Japan at the end of the film, moments before jetting off with Ben and Johnny to, again, save the world.

Video games

  • Sue Storm has appeared in numerous video games, usually accompanied by her brother and fellow teammates, being one of the most important the 1998 videogame of her team, which was for the original Playstation.
  • Sue Storm appears as a playable character in the Marvel: Ultimate Alliance video game, voiced by Danica McKellar. She can serve a variety of in-game roles as either a booster or buffer, unseen melee attacker, or a mid- to long-range fighter. Her classic, Ultimate, New Marvel, and Original costumes are available. A simulation disc has Invisible Woman fighting Radioactive Man on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.

Parodies and homages

Susan Storm was parodied as Miss Invisible of the Mega-Hyper Heroes featured in an episode of Rugrats (which provides a spoof of both the Teen Titans and the Fantastic Four). Lil, a fan of Miss Invisible when she was younger, has a superhero counterpart called Dotted-Line Girl who has similar abilities, but can be seen as a dotted line (this is a reference to early Marvel comics where invisibility was depicted as any hollow figure shaped by a dotted line).

In the Disney/Pixar movie The Incredibles, a Fantastic Four-like family motif is used, with the daughter Violet sharing the powers of Sue Storm (while the mother, Elasti-Girl/Mrs. Incredible, shared the stretching powers of Mr. Fantastic, Mr. Incredible had super-strength like the Thing, and one of Jack Jack's powers is like the Human Torch).

Sue was parodied in Spongebob Squarepants as Miss Appear in the episode "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V."

In the "N-Men" episode of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, Jimmy, Cindy, Carl, Libby, and Sheen get super powers when passing through a cloud. Libby, after gaining the power to turn invisible and generate force fields, takes the name Invisible Sister.

Susan Storm and the rest of the Fantastic Four are parodied on The Venture Bros., as the Impossibles, but save for Dr. Richard Impossible (a parody of Reed Richards) their powers are burdens to them. Sally Impossible's skin becomes transparent, leaving her muscles, tendons, and arteries visible.

At the end of the Code Lyoko episode "Vertigo", Odd Della Robbia mentions Sue Storm when comparing Aelita's invisibility to hers. MoonScoop produces the most recent animated Fantastic Four series, and the toy line for the show is backed by Marvel.
