Sue's Force fields

Sue's even more flexible than before, but this is more subtle than her previous gains.
Mostly, she is better at visualizing multiple moving structures and more complex shapes the GM should be more lenient as to the definition of "simple" in the "simpel shapes"
Limitation.
The main "new", established stunt is projecting a blast of small force pellets, like a
shotgun blast - it illustrates Sue's better visualization well, although it's not too subtle.
This is mostly an AV 06, EV 11 attack that take advantages of whatever rule you use for
autofire weapons and shotguns (e.g., the Scattershot advantage). She also tends to use
force melee weapons more than she ever did - say, a force staff.
Her raw power has also increased : her fields can now stand up to even stronger
opponents.

I will reproduce the classic stunts from the 80s writeup : they include the aforementioned
walls (BODY), pillars of force projected on an adversary (Mental blast), cushioning falls
(Skin Armor, Usable on Others, only against falls), force-lifted flight platforms (BODY
10, Flight: 07), blocking powers (Neutralize - for instance by encasing the hand of an
energy projector in a force bubble), and rarely suffocation (enclosing the head of a
subject in a bubble of force - follow normal drowning rules).

Powers and Abilities
Sue Richards' psionic ability to manipulate ambient cosmic energy enables her to bend
light around her body without distortion, thus rendering herself invisible. The cells of her
body produce an unknown form of energy she can mentally project around other people
and objects -- rending them invisible, as well. Richards' brain cells produce psionic force
she can shape into relatively simple forms - such as rectangle planes, globes, cylinders,
cones and domes. Also, she can mentally project protective fields that are highly resistant
to concussive forces. And by projecting columns of psionic force beneath her, she can
travel through the air.
Sue has also taken up intensive martial arts training and has reached an impressive level,
due in part to her natural intelligence, fighting experience and athletic ability and in part
to the fact that her teachers include martial arts specialists such as Daniel "Iron Fist"
Rand.
History:
Susan Storm is the eldest of the two children of Dr. Franklin and Mary Storm. She was
born in Glenville, New York and was raised like most children, with the exception of one
thing: her father was jailed for performing illegal medical procedures. When she was 12,
she met Reed Richards (then 23) at her aunt's boarding house. She was quite infatuated

and tried to keep tabs on Reed for years to come. As Susan grew older, she became
interested in acting and got a few small television roles. Upon learning that Reed was
moving to California, she left to pursue both of her dreams : Reed Richards and a career
in Hollywood. She quickly captured Reed's heart and to pledge her faith in him, she
offered her and her younger brother, Johnny, as human Guinea pigs for his experimental
rocket ship.
Sue was the first to find her super powers after the rocket crashed just outside of Central
City, California. Initially, Sue could only become invisible at will ; but over the years she
gained the strength to render other objects invisible as well as create invisible force
fields. Reed and his father, Nathaniel, have theorized the her powers stem from
Hyperspace, giving her virtually a limitless supply of energy.

Shortly after the creation of the Fantastic Four, Susan designed their first uniforms. And
not long afterwards she married Reed Richards and bore him a son, Franklin. Her first
pregnancy was filled with complications, and she would have died if the remaining
members of the FF borrow Annihilus' Cosmic Control Rod to save her life. Although her
second pregnancy was not as life-threatening, their second child was still-born. It seems
unlikely that she can bear any more children, and her doctor has recommended against it.

After Reed's apparent death, Sue took up leadership of the Fantastic Four. She quickly
became more than a power to be reckoned with. After Reed's return however, she had
been somewhat reluctant to give up her status of authority. Since her son was captured by
Onslaught, and his powers severely depleted by creating and maintaining the
Franklinverse, Susan seems to be returning to a more motherly role, hoping to raise her
child in a more stable environment.
Description:
See illustrations. The main evolutions should be clear - Sue is obviously more muscular
(her strong martial arts training since the last writeup shows), and her attractiveness is
more en vogue with the current tastes. She probably feels it less necessary to look like a
respectable mother than she did before, and can allow herself to cut a little bit more loose.
Personality
Again using the list of adjectives from the SAGA Roster (I like that book) : calm, loving,
practical, capable fighter and leader, motherly, protective of her family (especially her
son), surprisingly ruthless when friends or family are injured.
Sue is wiser, more practical and more responsible than all the rest of the team put
together. This makes her an excellent leader - this is especially obvious when Reed is
away. More than ever, the FF listen to Sue's advice and orders.
