7. Sue Storm Has A Miscarriage

In fairness, seeing Sue Storm on the big screen again any time soon seems slim after the bomb that was Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four. Still, the trauma of that movie is nothing in comparison to some other events that have troubled the Invisible Woman over the years.

Fantastic Four #267 saw Sue have a tragic miscarriage, which was blamed on radiation damage to her cells after the FF’s experience in the Negative Zone.

Whilst a miscarriage is a horrible thing to happen, events were made bizarre by the tone of the whole situation. The writing itself seemed to lack any sense of real levity and seriousness, and Johnny Storm even flipped from being at his sister’s side to giving She-Hulk a bright and breezy tour of the Baxter Building. Oh, and throughout the whole ordeal Reed Richards still managed to stay in his FF costume regardless.

Later on in time, it would be revealed that the child was actually saved by young Franklin Richards and would be known as Valeria. Then, as ever, the whole thing would be retconned.
