'''Dr. Susan''' "'''Sue'''" '''Storm''' received her powers by being exposed to a cosmic storm, and was known as '''Invisible Girl''' during her early years with the team. After being brainwashed at some point, she decides to change her identity from then onward to reflect a more confident version of herself. As a human mutate, she possesses two powers: invisibility and [[Force field (fiction)|force fields]]. Her invisibility power deals with bending light waves and allows her to render herself and other objects [[invisibility|invisible]]. She can also project powerful fields of invisible psionic, hyperspace-based energy that she uses for a variety of offensive and defensive effects, including shields, blasts, explosions, and levitation. Sue plays a central role in the lives of her hot-headed younger brother [[Human Torch|Johnny Storm]], her brilliant husband [[Mister Fantastic|Reed Richards]], her close friend [[Thing (comics)|Ben Grimm]], and her children ([[Franklin Richards (character)|Franklin]] and [[Valeria Richards|Valeria]]). She was also romantically attracted to [[Namor]] the Sub-Mariner for a time.
