10 Lies You Always Believed About The Fantastic Four
2. The Thing Is The Strongest FF Member
For a superteam to work, each member needs to have a purpose. In the Fantastic Four, Reed is the big brain, Sue uses forcefields to protect her teammates, and Johnny can move at superspeed.
Since Ben Grimm's skin, bones, and organs are layered in rock, you'd assume he's the muscle. After all, the Ever Lovin' Blue-Eyed Thing has gone toe-to-toe with the Incredible Hulk and lived to tell the tale. He's even defeated the Jade Giant once or twice.
But for all of Ben's power, Susan Storm is inarguably stronger. Because she has the ability to create psionic shields, Sue is only limited by her imagination. Hypothetically, she can create a micro-forcefield in a person's heart or brain, killing them instantly. She said she can easily take down the Hulk by creating a forcefield in his lungs and then expanding it to the size of a football stadium.
She's so powerful, she fought Iron Man, Captain America, Falcon, Thor, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Iron Fist, Spider-Woman, and the Hulk at the same time and won. It may be dangerous to face Ben in combat but it's suicide to go against Susan Storm.
