-Sue Storm started out a pretty sexist concept, really. A girl more obsessed with haircuts than the latest crime, she pouted when Reed wouldn't pay attention to her, and wilted in the arms of super-villains and half-naked seamen. It got progressively better as time went on, until John Byrne (perhaps taking a bit of the fetish for strong women from his X-Men co-writer) finalized it, by terming her the Invisible WOMAN, and amping her force field powers into basically an invisible Green Lantern Ring. Suddenly, she became a super-powerful den mother, unafraid to absolutely SCHOOL the villains of the day. It's pretty much well-established these days that Sue is BY FAR the most powerful and useful member of the team, and the VERY LAST one that you want to piss off.
-Sue was the initial uber-pin-up babe of the Silver Age of Marvel Comics, and that's something that occasionally gets dropped by the wayside. I guess it had to happen, in the era of swimsuit costumes and asian super-heroines, but every once in a while, they remind you that she's supposed to be pretty, drop-dead style. The "Reed is Dead, So I Guess I'll Wear a Super-Bikini" era is a good example of that, but it's usually the protective Mama Bear thing that pulls off "teh sexay" these days. Hey, Moms can be hot too, dammit. Especially when being all protective and angry (remember what she did to Taskmaster when he hurt Reed in Civil War? Yowza).
-Yay, PL 11 (165)! Ultra-competent, but not TOO competent. Like the rest of the FF, she has lots of Skills and a few Feats to back her up, and it's all about the very diverse, Dynamic, hard-to-see Array for her. Snares, Blasts, Objects, and the classic Force Field make her the most versatile of the Foursome, which helps fit the "Most Powerful" conception. Where the rest of it comes in is her array of Complications and her high Will Save. IF YOU SCREW WITH FRANKLIN.... well, you better kiss your sorry ass goodbye, and that's that. Sue likes to play her Hero Points, let's just say that- her KOing the Hulk, and breaking open a friggin's Celestial's power armour are enough proof of that.
