While at DC the silver age had been introduced in the early 1960s with a more science-fiction based approach to some of its main characters ( the Flash, Hawkman, Green Lantern) at Marvel the silver age was started anew as the company rose to prominence under Stan Lee. Thus Sue Storm alongside her teammates on the Fantastic Four served as one of the most prominent examples of silver...
