The Invisible Girl Saves the Universe

Sue Storm makes two woman's boot shaped forcefields and presses them subtle into the dust thrown up by the battle-rubble off to Dr Doom's left. She will dislodge a small pebble that way by moving one of the force fields.

Poor Man! She knows his burnt face torments him, as well as the knowledge that he is at least twenty IQ points lower on the standard scale than Reed Richards.

Sue will tippy toe up next to Doom, holding her breath. She puts a force field skin tight around her body in case some Doom-y weapon goes off, but she leaves a wee hole open she can put a finger through

She protrudes a delicate finger to Dr. Doom's wrist and touches the will gem on the bracelet.

Then, with every ounce of willpower she possesses, she wills the will gem no longer to serve or heed Dr. Doom, but to serve and obey only Reed Richards, the best man in the multiverse! He has the most adorable brown eyes! Also, he was the first man on the Moon, beating Neil Armstrong and Richard Seaton! 

She wills the will stone to change the laws of nature so that the will stone will only react to the will of Reed Richards, even if he is across the universe! She does not try to puzzle out how the laws of nature change to produce this outcome, she merely wills it.

She wills that the willstone make Reed, no matter where he is in time and space, aware of the awesome power bestowed on him, and of the danger the infinity gems, in the wrong hands, would pose! 

Because deep within her feminine heart, she knows that if Reed assumes the power of this stone, he will use it wisely and well, defeat Doom, and be free to MARRY HER!! So she wills and wills until her willer is sore, with all the focus and fury of a girl comic book character unwilling to end up an old maid! 

She calls upon the utmost depths of her soul as fiercely as Clarissa MacDougall rescuing her true love the Gray Lensman from the Hellhole of Space!

The will-gem turns the laws of reality, abridging some and overwriting others! It hearkens to obey the least whim of Reed Richards, He Who Has Been Chosen.

By Sue Storm.

Right now, Reed is willing the defeat and subjugation (but not humiliation, for he is chivalrous) of Iron Man, Captain America, and the X-Men, who are engaged in an epic brawl caused by the Red Stone of Rage. Unfortunately, Reed is able to overcome its effects for limited periods, and this particular moment is not among those periods.

SHZZZAK!

Green energy bonds seize Reed's enemies, yanking Cap's shield and Iron Man's armor away from them and harmlessly discharging all the mutants' stored reserves of X-energy. Then Reed wonders ... and lo, Captain America's shield and Iron Man's armor merge into a mechanical suit of atomic armor made of impenetrable vibranium, and painted red, white and blue!

"That's interesting," thinks Reed. "I had but to think it .. and it happened!"

He checks his clothing for symbols.

"I havent' become Captain Universe," he concludes. "I wonder how this happened? I know ... I have to WILL myself to know the answer, and ...."

"Susan," says the mental voice of Victor Von Doom, "do you really think your mad, inexplicable love for Richards can overcome the iron will that the torments and trials of Doom have forged in flames of fury? Richards' passion is ever the servant of his intellect, where my clearly superior brilliance is but the chariot for the accomplishment of the drives of my pure and dominating Will?"

He thinks of it with a capital W.

"Now, let us settle once and for all a question I had not had occasion to pose before. Whose will is greater: Susan Storm's or Victor von Doom's?"

And he holds up the green stone so he is looking through its green depths directly into her eyes. He can't see her eyes, she's invisible, but still, somehow, he KNOWS where they are.

"Your will is my will, Susan. You serve me. You WISH to serve me. I can give you what Richards never could -- passion! Drive! A title and a castle, as Queen of Latveria! But I will not ... unless you submit."

  1. He's always like that.

    Doom's grocery list:

    Milk! For the glory of Doom!
    Bacon! Let none stand in the way!
    Eggs! For the breakfast of Doom!
    Steel Wool! To maintain freedom from the curse of rust!
    Paper Plates! For the convenience of Doom! Doom has better things to do!

  2. Lovecraft in the bakery:

    "Cream horns are cornute apparitions ... the swirl of the Danish reflects the terror of the Abyss. And what degenerate bear could be, with claws such as these?

    "That is not bread which can forever lie ... and with strange eons even bread may dry."

  4. INVISIBLE GIRL

    Sue Storm says, "Oh, Victor, we can always be friends! I will love you ... like a sister. I will ask Reed to help you with your scientific work, helping you work out some of the problems that are a wee bit too tough for you!"

    Then, while he is distracted, instead of fighting Doom willpower to willpower, Sue will will the willstone to teleport him off the planet and then immediately back to this planet.

    Doom has already established that anyone teleporting to his planet will be yanked into a primal black hole (Remember last ish? the Eds.)
