Sue Storm

## Background

### 1970 - 1995: Sue Storm

Susan "Sue" Storm & her younger brother, Johnny, were born & raised in Long Island with their parents. At the age of nine, she lost her mother in an automobile accident. Her father, Franklin Storm, a doctor, failed to save her. Despondent, he began to drink & gambled away the family fortune, eventually winding up in a penitentiary for murder after accidentally killing his loan shark.

Sue & Johnny began living with their Aunt Jewel Dinkins, who also ran a boardinghouse. After high school, Sue went on to attend to Empire State University. While working on her Master's degree, she met Reed Richards, who was working on getting one of his many doctorates at the time. The two did not become a couple until a couple months before Sue's graduation. Despite her education, Sue tried to break into show business.

Reed was working on an experimental starship called the *Marvel-1* when the project lost its government funding. He decided to launch the prototype, certain that the flight would succeed & attract more funding. He asked Due to come along with him & seeing she had nothing better to do, she agreed. He also asked his good friend Ben Grimm, who was a test pilot & took the controls. Sue's brother had no reason to come at all but still tagged along on the trip.

The trip would have been a massive success except Reed failed to shield the cabin from cosmic rays & a chance solar flare intensified the radiation. The craft crashed back down to Earth. Emerging from the ruins of the spaceship, they discovered the radiation had mutated their bodies & had given them remarkable new abilities. Sue had gained the ability to bend light around her body & become invisible. All four decided to use their powers to better humanity & became the Fantastic Four.

## Romantic Relationships

* Reed Richards: Boyfriend (1994 - 1998); Husband (1998 - )

## Powers & Abilities

* **Mutate Physiology:** The Invisible Woman received her powers when cosmic rays bombarded her body. Mr. Fantastic suspects that Sue Storm somehow taps into hyperspace when she uses her powers. As yet, the only limit seems to be her own reserve; she is reluctant to stretch her powers until absolutely necessary.
	+ ***Invisibility*:** The Invisible Woman has the mental ability to manipulate ambient cosmic energy for a variety of effects, including the rendering of herself & other objects invisible. By a simple act of concentration, she can cause all wavelengths of visible, infrared & ultraviolet light to bend around her without distortion. An observer, unaware of the peculiar path light takes around her body, would have the sensation of seeing through her. The Invisible Woman can also mentally project the invisible energy produced within the cells of her body in order to render other people or objects invisible. The largest volume she can as yet turn invisible at a single time is approximately 40,000 cubic feet of volume (1,133 cubic meters), equivalent to a small swimming pool. She has sufficient control over her power that she can turn parts of her body selectively invisible.
	+ ***Psionic Force Fields*:** Through concentration, she is able to project a field of psionic force which she can manipulate into a number of relatively simple forms: rectangular planes, cylinders, globes, domes, cones, etc. The complexity of the shape is limited by her ability to imagine (mentally visualize) a particular form & keep it in sharp mental focus. She is able to use the projection of her psionic force to travel through the air.
* **Hand to Hand Combat:** She is a capable unarmed combatant and regularly trains with the other members of the Fantastic Four.
* **Sailing:** Sue was a champion sailor as a youth, having already won major competitions by the time she was in her early teens.
* **Fantastic Four Uniform:** Sue's clothes are made from unstable molecules so that they turn invisible along with her. Woven into the cloth is an electronic network of transceivers & sensors that tracks her location, condition & other data. The network relays this information to the rest of the team. A keypad & screen on one glove allow Sue Storm to call up & view the same information from anyone else.
* **Universal Translator:** She has a Universal Translator that can decipher & interpret languages, both alien & terrestrial, into the native language of the user.

### Weaknesses

* **Concentration:** The size, number, and movements of these objects are limited only by her powers of concentration. Once she stops concentrating on an object, it ceases to exist.
* **Sound Constructs:** Invisible Woman's force fields are permeable to sound waves, thus Songbird was able to manifest a sound construct inside of the force field to knock her out.
