8. Sue Storm

Comic book to check out: Fantastic Four (Jonathan Hickman, Dan Slott)

The Invisible Woman is the Fantastic Four’s strongest teammate. Reed may be the team’s leader, but she keeps them together. If she left the team, they’d fall apart.

We’ve seen it before. Reed is oblivious to social norms, Ben Grimm can be irrational (and allow his emotions to get the better of him) and Johnny Storm is, well, he’s Johnny Storm (a.k.a. He’s incredibly reckless). Sue is the glue that binds them. The mother, sister, friend, and powerhouse that makes the Fantastic Four one of the greatest teams of all time. Plus, she knocked out the Hulk and is the only person Wolverine is worried about on their team. Who else can say that?

7. Atom Eve

Comic book to check out: Invincible

Atom Eve has the ability to manipulate matter and energy at the sub-atomic level with her own willpower – a power that she’s used to protect Earth and other planets from multiple threats.

As a wife and girlfriend, she also kept Mark Grayson (a.k.a. Invincible) in line. When he messed up, she made certain to let him know when he needed to hear it. On the other hand, her kind words reminded him he can do and be a better hero. He needed her to be his everything and he knew it.

Atom Eve is the personification of the old saying that behind every good man is a great woman because, without her strength, Mark would never reach his potential. Everyone will get to see all of this on display in Amazon’s Invincible.
