It is her invisibility power of course that she is best known for simply based on her super hero name The Invisible Woman.
If the Invisible Woman were to silently walk up to someone and kill them whilst invisible it would be infinitely harder to point the finger at the person you can’t prove was there… not impossible just harder.
Not that I don’t think as an individual Susan wouldn’t be a positive force but it is a good thing for the rest of the Marvel comics universe that The Invisible Woman does have the rest of the Fantastic Four because as a villain she would be quite the force to be reckoned with.

 The Invisible Woman
By doing so she is not only able to render herself and other people or objects invisible, she is capable of projecting one of the most powerful manifestations of pure force ever witnessed, her force fields.
The Invisible Woman’s force fields are impenetrable, nothing ever has or will get through them, they have the capacity to survive a nuclear detonation at ground zero, and nor Wolverine’s adamantium claws, or the Hulks fists could get through them.
The Invisible Woman can block one or all of these in tandem; these are called full-spectrum fields.

 The Invisible Woman
It's a sequel in the sense that the word "invisible" is in the title and the fact that Universal made it, but other than that, it has nothing to do with the two previous outings.

 Jelani Cobb:::::Invisible Woman
In between she lived on four different continents, contributed to the major intellectual debates of her era, survived as a communist during the McCarthy era, and counted heads of state in China, Ghana, Guinea and Egypt among her close friends.
She displayed a life-long tendency to balance her defiance of conventional female roles with a "maternalism" that placed her in a caretaking role for her male peers.
Though Graham Du Bois was a life-long "race woman" her radicalization and eventual membership in the Communist Party was spurred on by her experiences in World War II – after she had penned the opera Tom-Tom, the play Dust to Earth and directed a half-dozen theatrical productions.

 The Invisible Woman
Carefully recultivating the Spanish accent she'd lost after moving to America (she was the daughter of a Dominican Republic diplomat) and decking herself out in jewels, exotic costumes and a loyal retinue, Montez became the exotic, tempestuous Latino leading lady of many a Technicolor escapist epic.
Montez was famous for her spectacular entrances at nightclubs and social functions; once, when her arrival at the Universal commissary failed to attract notice, she turned her heel and left the room, returning moments later with a huge entourage and accompanying loud noises.
Despite her menacing demeanor, Hamilton was a gentle, soft-spoken woman; she was especially fond of children, and showed up regularly on such PBS programs as Sesame Street and Mister Rogers.

My invisibility has nothing to do with lack of a pretty face or lively personality, but everything to do with a formidable acronym called BMI (body mass index).

For a long time, I've been saying that Sue should be young in the first film, arguing that she was Invisible Girl for a long time before she became known as Invisible Woman.
Calling her Invisible Girl empathizes the 'dirty old man' aspect of Reed and is kinda sexist.
Maybe throughout the movie, she can be referred to as invisible girl, and mention that it's sexist, and at the end, when she does something that saves the rest of the team somehow, she can yell, "And stop calling me the Invisible Girl, from now on I'm the Invisible Woman!" and go from there.

 Invisibility Cloak Sees Light of Day: Scientific American   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Mere months after making headlines for proposing a technologically feasible way of rendering objects invisible, a research team has demonstrated a rudimentary example of an invisibility cloak.
The researchers sampled the electric field component of the microwaves at many points in the apparatus to see how the radiation was affected, and the results match well with their simulations, they report.
"Although this prototype is not an ideal invisibility device, it's definitely a very important breakthrough," says optics theorist Ulf Leonhardt of the University of St. Andrews College in Scotland, who was not part of the research.
