She quickly captured Reed's heart and to
pledge her faith in him, she offered her and her younger brother,
Johnny, as human guinea pigs for his experimental rocket ship. Sue
was the first to find her super powers after the rocket crashed just
outside of Central City, California. Initially, Sue could only
become invisible at will; but over the years she gained the strength
to render other objects invisible as well as create invisible force
fields. Reed and his father, Nathaniel, have theorized the her
powers stem from Hyperspace, giving her virtually a limitless supply
of energy.
Shortly
after the creation of the Fantastic Four, Susan designed their first
uniforms. And not long afterwards she married Reed Richards and bore
him a son, Franklin. Her first pregnancy was filled with
complications, and she would have died if the remaining members of
the FF borrow Annihilus' Cosmic Control Rod to save her life.
Although her second pregnancy was not as life-threatening, their
second child was still-born. It seems unlikely that she can bear any
more children, and her doctor has recommended against it.
After
Reed's apparent death, Sue took up leadership of the Fantastic Four.
She quickly became more than a power to be reckoned with. After
Reed's return however, she had been somewhat reluctant to give up
her status of authority. Since her son was captured by Onslaught,
and his powers severely depleted by creating and maintaining the
Franklinverse, Susan seems to be returning to a more motherly role,
hoping to raise her child in a more stable environment.
