Marvel's Take on Die Hard Promises Invisible Woman's Best Story
Although she's one of the most important members of the Fantastic Four, Susan Storm Richards, the Invisible Woman, usually doesn't get the kind of Die Hard-esque action stories that her male counterparts do. Considering Susan Storm is the first female superhero in Marvel Comics, she has had several opportunities to stand out as her own character. Unfortunately, other members of the Fantastic Four usually leave her character development as invisible as her name suggests. Nonetheless, a new comic, part of Marvel's tremendous Judgement Day crossover, may provide her best comic book appearance to date.
Sue Storm is undoubtedly advanced the characterization of comic book women during her early appearances in the 1960s. In more modern comics, she often resides in the Baxter Building to play a maternal role, primarily in service of the other characters. Despite this, Invisible Woman has the potential to be incredibly overpowered. Sue's wasted potential is evident in Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Steve McNiven's Marvel Knights 4 comics, Marvel's attempt at critically adept standalone stories for the Fantastic Four, when the team goes bankrupt. Reed Richards prevents a depressed man from taking his own life, Ben learns the toils of lower-class construction workers, and Johnny struggles as a returning celebrity actor. Meanwhile, Sue becomes an objectified substitute teacher and defends her kids' friends from aliens. The only instance when Sue is alone features her going for a swim to let off some steam.
