So you know how people joke on here about how if classic shit heroes like Matter Eater Lad and Colour Kid applied their powers properly, they'd be godlike?
Is Sue "formerly the girl who turns invisible because being seen is the menfolk's job" Storm an example of the writers taking that idea and going wild? She's easily one of the deadliest (not most powerful, but absolutely killiest) heroes on the market right now.
Okay but going from "invisibility" to "tiny forcefield that just cut your heart off from the rest of your circulatory system now drown in your own blood you tool" is a bit much
Gabriel King
Not sure this applies to Sue, her forcefields were added later on because invisibility is such a dud power.
Charles Nguyen
I thought the forcefields were supposed to be an extension of how she do the no see
Luis Young
it was, but from a meta narrative stand point they were added so she could do things aside from just not be seen
Brayden Richardson
Now she can color change too
Thomas Mitchell
how come this hasn't gone pymp slap levels of infamy?
Xavier Cruz
desu expanding her powerset to forcefields was a great idea. Sue's biggest issue for a lot of early FF was that she did almost nothing; her actual usefulness to the team began and ended with "turn invisible and hide in a fight" and "fail at sneaking around and get captured". Her forcefields getting overpowered is just the result of fanboys looking at her powers and realizing from a logical standpoint she should be the most insanely overpowered member of the team.
Blake Perez
It was a mind controlled Sue and it was an arc that didn't really influence anything after, while Hank then attacked the Avengers after slapping Jan. Not saying Reed doesn't deserve some shit for that (Peter Parker also threw a pregnant Mary Jane into a wall), but Hank's "fall" was multi-faceted.
Camden Gomez
because sue is a thot
Hudson Hill
Could Due defeat Superman, or he no sells the forcefield to the brain or heart?
Nathan James
Because FF and Spider-Man are two of the most famous and successful comic franchises in Marvel's history and Hank Pym was a second-rate nobody in a team literally made for characters who couldn't sell their own series whose only notable moment is slapping his wife.
Robert Gomez
Sue is a Thot don't forget Namor..
Connor Hill
wat
Cameron Rodriguez
Iirc someone with telekinesis has tried that before on him and it didn't work it just kind of hurt.
Carter Jackson
She changes into a blackiee?
Robert Harris
She could take him out in a sneak attack. In a white room encounter where neither have surprise and they have knowledge of each other, Sue is ash or a bloody smear (depending on whether he uses heat vision or just a punch) before she can form a thought.
Elijah Phillips
Because Mind Control. It's worth noting, in the aftermath of the Trial of Hank Pym, Iron Man drove himself to distraction trying to prove Hank's head was being fucked with when he sicced Salvation-1 on the Avengers, and slapped Janet.
Owen Robinson
>sue can pull off a reverse exodia on anyone i want to see this.
Matthew Nguyen
Waid's recent mini has her bending light or some shit to make herself look different, up to changing her hair color.
Super strong innards. He could probably tank it but it would hurt like a bitch and greatly weaken him
Aiden Wilson
it also helps that Sue isnt a fucking sociopath so she usually uses them for battering or barriers instead of leaping right to embolism
Jaxson Ward
How would Sue be immune to the black hole?
Gabriel Hill
Gravity can bend light, and a powerful gravity field can warp a laser around it and change its direction in a noticeable way if it's strong enough. Gravity, however, it's the weakest of the fundamental forces (aside from the "weak" force), and there are larger interactions that can bend light much more drastically (like atmospheric density and whatnot).
Ryder Smith
She isn't, she can basically act as a black hole.
Aiden Robinson
How many Gs would it take to be able to negate/block lasers then?
Elijah Thomas
This part escapes me as I have an empirical understanding of fundamental physics, but you wouldn't actually need much, since photons are massless and therefore they're very liable to distortion under a small field. However, to negate or fully bend a laser around the subject (in this case Sue), she'd need to replicate the density mass of a small black hole to create a Schwarzschild radius strong enough to do that. And I say "replicate" since generating a small hole of the size of a person could potentially absorb everything around its event horizon, so it has to be strong enough to bend light but not too strong to pull massive objects around her. So tl;dr, some 4-dimensional shenanigans that only affect photons around her, and then occasionally "anti-gravitons" that repel anything outside a generated field.
Jonathan Flores
>Waid Oh that explains that bullshit Nice dubs tho
Ayden White
Namor and Doom made use of her black hole.
Ryan Ross
She blew up a Celestial with her mind so yeah.
Liam Morales
Shouldn't you be sleeping, Tommy? It was very mild light manipulation that Valeria taught her to be fair, and it gave her a headache due to the strain, so it's not like she's Mystique now.
You know, Reed has been called out on his neglectful, cold-blooded behavior towards Sue numerous times. When's Sue ever going to get called out for being a homewrecking whore?
Michael Brown
>When's Sue ever going to get called out for being a homewrecking whore? I don't know, probably the moment she actually starts doing any of this you bizarrely accuse her of doing.
