"One of four. That's why we're a team remember. We all possess skills and talents and powers that make us formidable on our own. But when we put them together, that's when the fun really begins".
-Sue Richards, Invisible Woman, "Down & Out in The Negative Zone" (Fantastic Four #19 Series 3)

She can even use this skill offensively, projecting solid forms at high velocity towards herr opponent. Sue balances her role as an adventurer with that of a working mother, as she has a young son, Franklin, and is responsible for the day-to-day running of the Fantastic Four's charitable foundation.
