I thought it was time to spotlight the FF's most-overlooked ( 'cos she's invisible, get it? ) member, Sue ( Storm ) Richards. When the fantastic foursome first appeared 50 years ago, Sue was often seen ( or not, get it? ) as the weakest member of the group, which was obviously a sign of the times. But, over the years, her character was more defined as a strong woman - a wife, a mother, and also an independent and resourceful team member and leader - someone who didn't faint / need to be rescued every ten minutes.
Incidentally, I just thought I'd mention how difficult it is to find decent pictures of the Invisible Woman on t'internet. By which I mean pics that aren't wholly exploitative, tits 'n' ass shots. If you're looking for that pic of Sue being spanked by a naked Wonder Woman, you'll have to look elsewhere...

Love that last picture!
ReplyDeleteI know it's not "our" Invisible Woman but I couldn't resist it :-)
ReplyDeleteSusan Storm. Drooooooooooool!
ReplyDeleteI remember a story where she was being mind controlled by someone (The Hatemonger, maybe, I'm not sure)and she used her powers with great affect, such a creating a force bubble around someone's head (She Hulk I think) to suffocate them, and creating force spikes and so on. It showed that with some imagination she could be very, very powerful.

ReplyDeleteI knew that Bruce Timm picture would gain the post some interest :-)

Agreed, mate. Some recent FF writers, like Millar and Hickman, have definitely shown that Sue could be one of the most dangerous characters in the Marvel Universe...
