Susan Storm[src]

History

Sue Storm was a genetics research scientist working for Victor von Doom. She was in the middle of a love triangle between Reed Richards and Doom, who proposed to her during their space flight mission. The ship was bombarded with cosmic rays and altered the crew's biology to give them incredible powers. After she gained her powers of invisibility she spurned Doom. With the help of her team, she eventually learned to control her powers and use them for good when chaos had ensued on a bridge. Sue, Reed, Ben, and her brother Johnny had been named the Fantastic Four and even though they were initially unwilling to become superheros, they eventually fully embraced the responsibility after defeating Victor who had used the powers he obtained to attempt to destroy the team and terrorize New York as Doctor Doom. When Mr. Fantastic proposed to her after their successful first battle, she agreed to marry him.[1]

Sue and Reed were going to be married on the roof of the Baxter Building, until finally, Silver Surfer came because he sensed the Cosmic radiation sensor which was created by Reed Richards. Johnny Storm attempted to stop the Silver Surfer, but Silver Surfer was stronger than Johnny and defeated him. Because of contact between himself and Silver Surfer, Johnny could exchange his powers.

The Fantastic Four tried to stop the Silver Surfer, with the aid of Victor von Doom, until Victor von Doom took the Silver Surfer's Surfboard, which was the Silver Surfer's power core. After Dr. Doom took Silver Surfer's surfboard, he tried to kill Silver Surfer. Sue tried to protect him her force fields, but, since the spear from the surfboard apparently could phase through anything, it phased through Sue's force fields, and stabbed her right in her heart. She then destroyed the spear with her force field, but it was too late. The rest of the Fantastic Four transferred their powers to Johnny, who separated Doom from the surfboard, and Ben used a crane to knock Doom into the sea, and Sue died in Reed's arms. The Silver Surfer used his cosmic power, and with aid from surfboard which he took back from Dr. Doom, he revived Sue from death, and after telling Reed to cherish every moment with her, attacked Galactus with a suicidal attack, saving the world.

Finally, after saving the world, Reed and Sue married in Japan.[3]
