Susan Storm, also known as 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 had some natural chemistry with the rest of the team.
14. Her orchid allergy is a good attention to detail.

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. Some of her lines are wooden.
5. She can be a little overprotective to her brother.
