HOTW- The Invisible Woman

 

From Wiki- Sue Storm received her powers by being exposed to a cosmic storm, and was known as Invisible Woman. She possesses two powers: invisibility and force fields. Her invisibility power deals with bending light waves and allows her to render herself and other objects 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 Johnny Storm, her brilliant husband Reed Richards, her close friend Ben Grimm, and her children (Franklin and Valeria).  Back to me now:

I think she's still married to Reed.  I hope so.  I always liked Sue, since she was the voice of reason in the group.  I am also glad they got rid of the "girl' part of her name.  It might flow a bit better, but most of the "girl" superheroes with that moniker are actually women.  Hawkgirl, Batgirl, Bulletgirl, probably should not be called that.  Heck, even the members of the Legion of Superheroes had issues.  Having said that, if they are OK with that nom de guerre, more power to them.  Viva Dr. Sue Storm-Richards!
