Wife, Mother, Sister, Woman of the 21st Century!
BIOGRAPHICAL DATA
Codename:The Invisible Girl now The Invisible WomanAs a member of the new Fantastic Four, Sue was at first the weakest link. She could turn invisible (duh!) but that was it, and she wasn't particularly strong. But Sue eventually discovered that she had another power---the ability to create invisible force fields. Over the years, Susan became much more adept at using these powers. For example, instead of just using her force field for defensive purposes, Sue can also use them as a weapon to attack foes. Indeed, Sue has been able to single handedly defeat the Thing, the She-Hulk (both with altered personalities), Titania, and the Absorbing Man. Her force-field has managed to sustain attacks by nuclear explosions and the Hulk. Today, one can convincingly argue that she is now the most powerful member of the Fantastic Four.Furthermore, while Susan cannot fly, she can use her force field to elevate herself and others through the air---as high as ten miles above the surface of the Earth. (Valeria is especially fond of using this power to "surf" through the air, much to the chagrin of Susan, who worries about her daughter losing concentration in mid-air.) In addition to making herself invisible, Susan can also extend a field of invisibility to include other objects or persons. Finally, although this is not a "power" granted to her through cosmic radiation, Sue has trained extensively in martial arts since becoming one of the Fantastic Four and currently holds a black belt in judo, karate, and shaolin kung fu.

Known Superhuman Powers:The Invisible Girl possesses the psionic ability to manipulate ambient cosmic energy for the following effects. Can mentally bend light around herself without distortion to render herself invisible. Somehow, she enables light to penetrate her eyes so she can see while invisible.
Her body cells produce an unknown form of energy that she can mentally project around other persons or objects to render them invisible. Can use this energy to render visible persons and objects rendered invisible by other means, and energy that is normally invisible.
Her brain cells produce psionic force that she can project in relatively simple forms (rectangular planes, globes, cylinders, cones, domes, etc). Can mentally project protective force fields that are highly resistant to concussive force. Can travel through the air by projecting columns of psionic force beneath her.
Other Abilities:The Invisible Girl is a fair hand-to-hand combatant

Finally, although this is not a "power" granted to her through cosmic radiation, Sue has trained extensively in martial arts since becoming one of the Fantastic Four and currently holds a black belt in judo, karate, and shaolin kung fu. But Sue herself would rank all of her accomplishments with the Fantastic Four behind her responsibilities as awife and mother. If Reed could be described as the head of the team, and Ben the heart, then Sue is probably the backbone. Even if her work isn't as flashy or visible as the others, Sue has nevertheless been essential to keeping the team together. But just because she has been relatively quiet in the past does not mean that she can't lead the team. With Reed, Johnny, and Ben in the Negative Zone, Susan reluctantly decides to form a new Fantastic Four to show her daughter what it means to follow in her footsteps. The Invisible Woman may not have the scientific expertise that her husband did, but to use a Star Trek metaphor, you don't have to know as much as Mr. Spock to be a Captain Kirk. Sue has the experience needed to make tough decisions, and the team trusts her leadership.So if you want to read adventures about a demure Sue who has to wait for the other boys to rescue her from the clutches of Dr. Doom.
****Just ONE simple rule PLEASE: Let us keep this thread as an environment befitting Sue Storm Richards. A place of respectful and courteous discussion of Sue Storm Richards the comic character, and Jessica Alba AS Sue Storm Richards. Please post all articles and photos of Jessica other than her role as Sue in the Pic/Video thread.
Thanks in advance,
Kel
