Character Details
Susan Storm Revealed
Interview by Dharma Parvati
From her humble beginnings in Glenville on Long Island to the recently remodeled Baxter Building here in Manhattan, Susan Storm — also known as Fantastic Four's Invisible Woman — has proven herself to be not just a heroine but a strong, independent woman who has quite literally rebuilt her life from nothing starting on the fateful shuttle flight with her fellow team members Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, and brother Johnny Storm.
DP: So Sue… may we call you that? Thanks. So Sue, tell us about your child hood.
[Sue cringes very slightly.] SS:Oh. Well, it was pretty average for the most part, I guess." (Sources tell us that her mother was killed by a drunk driver when Sue was 10, and she and her brother John were sent to live with an aunt after her father was institutionalized for mental illness.)
DP: And where did you go to college? What did you study?
SS: I took about a year's worth of courses at UCLA — acting mostly — but then Johnny and I went on that shuttle flight. I … kind of really haven't had much time since then to try going back to college.
DP: Next: Who was your first crush?
[Sue smiles at this question, glancing away from the interviewer.] SS: Reed. He was a Sophmore at Columbia at the time… I was only twelve and COMPLETELY invisible to him. Not like now, no. In that 'sweet kid whose aunt is my landlady' kind of way.
DP: Why did you go to California?
SS: Reed's, um, why I originally chose to go to UCLA — he was working in their science department on a grant. I tried to get into modelling — got told I was too short and too fat, can you believe that? — and then acting, but then, you know, the shuttle flight happened.
DP: Do you regret going on the space flight?
[Sue leans back in her chair for a moment, clearly thinking back to that fateful day the shuttle took flight.] SS: Do I regret it? Well, that's kind of a double-edged question. I mean, I could regret the fact that I didn't get to finish college, that Johnny got stuck in it just like I did, heck, I could regret that I don't have a so-called normal life anymore. But really, what good would that do me? It happened, and I'm taking it day by day, making the best I can of the cards I've been dealt. [Sue laughs lightly at this point.] Really, the thing that hardest about it, though? Those first few days — weeks, even — when I'd nearly have a panic attack because I couldn't see my own reflection. Imagine having the worst hair day of your life, and not being able to tell. COMPLETE nightmare…but totally liberating at the same time. Well, until I was visible again and could tell how bad my hair had gotten.
DP: anything interesting about you our readers should know?
SS:Something interesting. Not really. Pretty much ever since that shuttle flight, my life has been an open book. And of course, with Johnny getting into the tabloids every now and again, there's no way I could have a private life even if I desperately wanted one.
DP: Have you had any difficulties?
[Sue actually blushes at this question, and takes a moment to drink a bit of water.] SS: You can't even begin to imagine the difficulties we all had at first. I mean, I was /invisible/. I couldn't wear clothing without making it even MORE obvious that there was something really messed up about me. I pretty much just hid indoors until Reed got those suits of ours sussed out. Finally. Though really, I think poor Ben had it way worse than I did. He couldn't sit in a chair without breaking it, or even lean against a wall.
DP: So Sue, what are your hopes and aspirations?
SS: Other than the obvious? Well, do you mean for me personally, or for the Fantastic Four?
DP: Why not both? Where do you see yourself — the team — in say, 10 years?
SS: I … really don't know. I would HOPE that we'd be done with all of these conflicts that seem to keep cropping up, but realistically I know that that's too much to expect. So I guess I'd have to answer with just this: I hope we'll still be around to do what needs to be done to keep the entire
