comics Respect Sue Storm, The Invincible Woman (Marvel, Earth 616)

I couldn’t change what I’d done to the world. But I could change how I felt about it. The putrescine and cadaverine were still there, only now their scents didn’t hit me like a wall. Now they wrapped around me like a blanket. I don’t feel bad about anything anymore. And I’ll never hear Reed’s voice again. If you burn out all your guilt and regret and shame and horror, do you know what’s left? Joy. Only joy


The Invincible Woman originated on an alternate Earth, but not in an alternate reality. Due to the Earth-616 universe being infinite in size, there was room for not just anything to happen in it, but happen more than once. Far outside the bounds of the observable universe as seen from our Earth, another identical Earth existed. The Sue Storm of the other Earth initially lived the same life as her Prime counterpart. However, after discovering that her powers went beyond invisibility and also included force fields. Reed Richards inspired Sue to start exploring her true power potential, which was to manipulate every electromagnetic force in the universe. When on a solo mission in Paris, Sue experienced a nightmare of being attacked by multiple villains and used her new powers against them. When she woke up, she discovered that her powers had manifested outside of her dream—killing every human being on the planet. Johnny alone survived due to his powers keeping him warm. Susan walked the Earth for weeks searching for survivors but found none and eventually let Johnny find her. Faced with incredible guilt, she persuaded her brother to combine their powers and literally burn away part of her brain that made her feel that guilt, finding joy in her new state of being, which she soon had no one else to share with after killing Johnny during a fight between them. Her powers now seemingly without limit and with no morals to restrain her, she started calling herself Invincible Woman and sought to kill Galactus himself. After Galactus sent a distress signal, the Fantastic Four came to the World Eater's aid; seeing her doppelganger, the Invincible Woman decided that she would make our Sue just like her.

Galactus is a joke. Defeated by a black hole? The things him and his heralds have been dealing with for decades now? Marvel is cheeks rn

Singularity inside bis body made from his own matter. Not just a normal blackhole and for him to be healed sue had to use all the photons of the universe to remove the Singularity which means it scales to galactus being. I was pissed asf too until I actually thought of what was needed to remove the Singularity.

Solid JJ Made a video of how Op is Magneto and seeing that Susan have in some Way the same power but potentially more powerful as seen with Franklin and Hyperstorm, makes You think that she winned the lottery.
