10 Superheroes Who Are Way More Powerful Than You Think

5. Invisible Woman

Punisher vs Hulk
Marvel Comics

As the Invisible Woman, the Fantastic Four member, Susan Storm can turn herself and other objects invisible. She can also create psychic shields. Despite being depicted as the damsel in distress in the early years, she is the most powerful member of her team. In fact, she has stood her own against Iron Man, Luke Cage, Spider-Woman, Thor, Hawkeye, and the Hulk… at the same time.

How, you may ask? She can defeat the Hulk by forcing him to inhale a microscopic force-field and then expanding it to the “size of Yankee stadium.”

She can immobilise her enemies by making their optic nerves invisible, rendering them blind. She can hit people with psychic shockwaves and use her powers to elevate herself off the ground, giving her a semblance of flight.

She doesn't just use her powers in battle since she can create any invisible shape she desires. Sue has used her abilities to create medical tools to commit a surgical procedure.

Many readers also don’t realise that she can make herself invisible to infrared, so she can’t be picked up on radar. She can also make herself invisible to ultraviolet.
