How do I start about this one?

Beginning are often difficult.

Even more so when you're not considering what is, but rather what if...

One of the classic Marvel series from the '70 and '80 was What If an anthology that took a single pivotal moment in an ongoing series and reframed it by changing some details.

What if Spider-Man joined the Fantasic Four?

What if Jane Foster found Thor's Hammer? (a favorite in this community)

What if Phoneix Had Not Died?

...and so on.

Since, we are going to get a MCU TV series based on this premise, I thought it was a good idea to dust off our own What If stories, courtesy of a gentleman called TheWiseWatcher.

What if The Invisible Woman Went From Invisible to Invincible?

To be perfectly honest and fair this is really a throwback to the early days of the Supergirls Inc website, the predecessor to our community, and the story might not measure up to some more recent work and yet... it still has something. It has that "old comic book" charm, that ineffable quality that we associate with something that was part of our childhood. It might have not aged as well as other stories from those days, but I do think that it does have a place in the shelves of our library.

I admit I have to deduct a couple of point from TheWiseWatcher for two reasons that have nothing to do with the quality of the story and more with my personal taste:

  1. The idea of Sue getting all the powers of the quartet is an idea that I love so much, so a was a little disappointed that you decided to go with a different route. Still, I like the wishing aspect of her new powers.
  2. A couple of times, I felt like this story really needed a tiny bit more explanation.

Even so, it's a great story and I would love to see a remake or a second episode spawning from it one day.

Hatts of to you, TheWiseWatcher and, like someone used to say...

Excelsior!
