Yeah, he had one for a bit when he was depowered. It showed up again in Matt Fraction's FF (not to be confused with F4) where Scott Lang, Medusa, Johnny's latest squeeze and She-Hulk replaced the F4. Johnny's girlfriend wore it and went by Miss Thing. I can't remember her actual name though.

I was enjoying this book, but haven't seen it show up in the last few months. I guess it got canceled? Last issue I got is #12 and has a "to be continued" at the end.

Fraction's time on F4 was really weird. He was writing both the regular Fantastic Four book and a Future Foundation book and the actual F4 book sucked, while the FF book ruled.

And then would still forget their names.

Hence Robert Bruce Banner, and an old comic, they wisely decided to ignore, revealing Spider-Man's secret identity is "Peter Palmer"

It's kinda astonishing how much Stan Lee and Jack Kirby struggled with making "able to turn invisible at will" into a useful super power.

If I had to guess, I'd say the "invisible" part of her title wasn't the real source of the Invisible Woman's problem with the writers.

Considering she was never called the Invisible Woman until decades after Stan and Jack left the book, you might be right.

I had this criticism for Darla, too, but it seems to me like if you're not wearing the head part of the suit and try to fist fight someone of the Thing's power level, you're just asking to get your head turned into gazpacho when they land one good jab.

Didn't she have a clear helmet? Like a space helmet from fifties sci-fi films?

Not only that, but I can see the torque from throwing a punch causing the neckline of the suit snapping your neck.

Compare to Peter Parker, who depending on the depiction was a literal school kid when he got his powers but was always and will forever be SpiderMAN.
