Now You See Her, Now You Don’t: Invisible Woman Steals the Avengers: Doomsday Spotlight

Doctor Doom gets most of the attention in the Avengers: Doomsday build-up. But a new toy has just reminded fans that Sue Storm, played by Vanessa Kirby, is the Fantastic Four’s secret weapon. Here’s what the reveal tells us.

The Figure That Disappears

Hasbro’s latest Marvel Legends wave includes a two-pack of Sue and her brother Johnny, the Human Torch. Johnny is mid-blaze, while Sue is fully translucent. Only the number from the Fantastic Four emblem on her costume stays visible, which is a clever design choice.

Sue also comes with swappable hands and a force-field accessory, so collectors can display her defending the team. It’s the first time official Doomsday merchandise has shown her actually using her powers.

Avengers: Doomsday – What We Know

Sue’s Invisibility So Far

Invisibility has barely appeared on screen. In The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Sue vanishes briefly at the United Nations to dodge an awkward conversation, and that’s about it.

The most memorable moment comes later, as the team flees Galactus and Silver Surfer. Sue goes into labor and loses control of her powers, flickering between visible and invisible until her son Franklin Richards is born. It was a human, emotional use of her abilities rather than a flashy one.

She rarely used invisibility in combat, because hiding from Galactus wouldn’t have worked. Instead she pushed her force fields to their limit to help send him through a portal. That act cost her life, until Franklin’s powers gave her a second chance.

What Could Happen in Doomsday?

Marvel hasn’t said much about Sue’s plot, but a few clues stand out:

• Talokan trip: The Wakandans are heading to Namor’s kingdom, which now seems to be protected by a water barrier.
• Force-field showdown: A trailer shot shows Sue creating a powerful shield, hinting at a clash with Talokan’s forces.
• Namor factor: In the comics, Namor has long had a soft spot for Sue. If the MCU follows that, he might give her access the other heroes wouldn’t get.
• Stealth mission: The Wakandans clearly want something in Talokan. Sue could slip past the guards unseen, with The Thing nearby to back her up.

There’s also the Doom connection. Reed and Sue know Victor von Doom well, and this story looks set to test that relationship. Expect some betrayal and a lot of tension.

Why It Matters?

Putting Sue’s invisible form on a figure suggests Marvel wants fans to expect more of it this time. Her powers can steal a scene or settle a fight. Fans who found her First Steps moments too brief may get a bigger payoff here.
