10 Superpowers You Didn't Know The Fantastic Four Have

1. Invisible Woman Can Create Virtually Anything

The Thing
Marvel Comics

Because Susan Storm can form any object from psionic energy, she has an infinite supply of weapons. If she forged a projection of a sword, not only would it be as strong as a real blade, her opponent won't be able to see it, giving her the advantage.

Susan doesn't just project weapons; she can manifest a forcefield into practically anything. She can fashion a gag on someone's mouth to stop them from speaking, create a psionic key to unpick a lock, or create a projected rope to tie someone up. She can cover herself in a skintight forcefield, protecting her from any conventional attack.

Probably the most creative thing Sue has done with her powers occurred in SHIELD #4. In this story, Sue tracked down a prisoner of Hydra called Kussar. Kussar explained that Hydra placed a bomb in his body, which would detonate if he escaped.

Since Sue had no medical equipment to remove the explosive, she created surgical tools out of psionic energy. She operated on the man using a projected scalpel and holding veins shut with millimetre-sized forcefields to disable the bomb.

Moments like this make you realise that Sue is only limited by her imagination.
