Susan Storm (Storyverse)

Susan Storm or Invisible Woman is one of the main protagonists of the Tim Story Fantastic Four film series.

Why She Is Mrs. Fantastic

 * 1) With her dyed blonde hair in the first film, she looks very similar to her comic book counterpart.
 * 2) She is a great contrast to her brother Johnny. She is the more protective of the two.
 * 3) She and Reed have a healthy relationship and eventually get married.
 * 4) She is considered one of Jessica Alba’s most notable roles. She is also appealing to look at.
 * 5) Unlike the comics, she is the Director of Genetic Research at VDI, which shows that she is smarter than her earlier comic book counterpart.
 * 6) In the second film and video games, she is more productive.
 * 7) Her costume is very comic book accurate.
 * 8) Some of her lines are memorable including “Can’t believe I’m doing this again”.
 * 9) She had some funny moments, particularly around Johnny and Reed.
 * 10) The CGI for when she goes invisible or uses her forcefields are lifelike.
 * 11) She has some motherlike qualities towards Johnny and Ben.
 * 12) Her nosebleeds while trying to create forcefields are a clever idea.
 * 13) She is appealing to watch.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) She has been sexualized during scenes where she isn’t wearing her costume while trying to be invisible. It could be justified that only her super suit is affected by it.
 * 2) In the second film, Alba wears a wig instead of dying her hair, making her look less natural.
 * 3) In the second film, she is more focused on her wedding, rather than saving Earth from Silver Surfer/Galactus/Doom.
 * 4) Alba is somewhat miscast and some of her lines are wooden.

Trivia

 * Alba returned to voice Invisible Woman in the 2005 Fantastic Four video game.
 * Alba met her future husband Cash Warren while filming the first film.
 * Alba quit the franchise because she didn’t like Story’s direction of the second film.
 * Alba won a Kids Choice Award for the second movie.
