Stop it!! Stop it!! How can you speak of it so calmly... as though it's just a story... as though it... it isn't really happening... to my husband... to the man I love!

—Fantastic Four Vol 1 65

Come in and meet your new son!

—Fantastic Four Annual Vol 1 6

... But why should I stay behind instead of you? I'm a woman, Reed. That doesn't automatically make me Sue Barton, student nurse!

I know that, darling. But... But I know a lot of other things now. Things I think I've been trying to put aside, to postpone... Something a lot like growing up, perhaps. The Psycho-Man did more than twist my emotions. He forced me to look into the deepest corners of my soul, forced me to confront who I am, what have I become. When we rocketed into the cosmic ray belt, when we gained our powers, we lost something. An innocence. A child-like naivety. For a long time I've tried to go on as if we're still the same people we used to be, As if I was still the same. But I'm not. Not after all that's happened to us. Not after what the Psycho-Man did to me. There is no Invisible-Girl anymore, Reed. She died when the Psycho-Man twisted her soul. From now on, I am the Invisible Woman!

You're pathetic. One of the best minds on the planet and you waste it for years, doing magic tricks-- --then trying to best a man who'd never really harm you, despite your endless provocation.
