Reedsue is the het ship between Reed Richards and Sue Storm from the Marvel fandom.

Comics
Reed and Sue first met during their college years. While Reed was working with on his third doctorate, he chose to stay at Sue's Aunt Mary's boarding house for the summer. While initially hesitant to stay at the house, the moment he first saw Sue he chose to stay - A clear love at first sight. The two of them became acquainted, and Sue also fell in love with the fellow student. Eventually, Reed became so engaged in his relationship with Sue that he would frequently miss schoolwork, and as a result moved out of their house.

Their relationship would continue over the years as they both finished their educations. When they moved in together, Reed created a self-invented voice-acted music speaker for her - Impressed, Sue happily called him "Mister Fantastic." While the nickname didn't stick, Reed was thoroughly touched by it, and it would eventually come back later in their lives as Reed's superhero name.

During this point, Reed would begin working on his spaceship for the government, which he called the Marvel-1. Sue supported him throughout its creation, but eventually, funding for it was cut. In response, Reed, Sue, Sue's little brother Johnny and Reed's best friend Ben Grimm snuck onto the facility keeping the ship and took it on a test flight. While leaving the Earth's atmosphere, the four of them were bombarded with cosmic radiation and they were forced to crash-land to Earth, where they discovered they had acquired powers. Together, they decided to form the Fantastic Four, a superhero team of adventurers and explorers.

The Fantastic Four's first year was rough for the two of them, as Reed became absorbed in his guilt over the accident and Sue was forced to hold the team together. Their relationship would complicate itself even further when the underwater anti-hero known as Namor regained his memory and began fighting the Fantastic Four; Sue found herself sympathizing with him and his motives, and as a result Sue became attracted to him. However, Sue would reject Namor's constant unwanted advances towards her and choose Reed.

Eventually, Reed and Sue finally became engaged. Their wedding was the event of the century, attended by various different superheroes. While it was interrupted by supervillains, interference from the Watcher allowed the superheroes to stop them and finally the two were wed. Sue would get pregnant twice in the years afterwards - Their births were incredibly complicated, but luckily they came out just fine, as Franklin and Valeria Richards.

When the Civil War tore the superhero community apart, Reed and Sue were among the ones participating in the battle, and in the aftermath decided to work on their marriage, even leaving the team to do so. Their semi-retirement wouldn't last long however as they were brought back into action not long after, their relationship stronger than ever.

When the Secret Wars destroyed the Multiverse, Reed, Sue, Franklin, Valeria and the rest of their Future Foundation team decided to spend five years working to restore it, all together. Though they would eventually return to Earth, only months had passed there in contrast to the years they'd spent in the Multiverse. They chose to rejoin the Fantastic Four, and ever since have continued to fight against evil and making scientific discoveries together as partners in everything, facing any challenge together.

Fanon
In spite of being Marvel's longest-lasting relationship, Reedsue is surprisingly unacknowledged by the Marvel fandom, as a lot of comic shippers favor the more popular Spideytorch or Doomreed. It usually seems to help that a lot of misconceptions are spread across the fandom about their relationship or characters, portraying Reed as abusive and neglective or Sue as a cheater, which is very untrue. Regardless, fans of the ship do exist, especially in certain corners of the Fantastic Four fandom.
