Her most important character development was her decision to leave her life of wealth and luxury and to follow Ralph around the world (and beyond) on his adventures. Despite her lack of super abilities she has generally been regarded as a person of relative authority within the DC Universe and someone whose opinion mattered. Storyline Most of Sue’s appearances in the silver age were either alongside her husband in backup stories to the Flash, or as a person providing logistical support to the Justice League of America . Later after Ralph joined the newly formed Justice League Europe shortly after the events of Legends and Invasion , she took a more proactive role in her role on the team as a computer specialist/hacker. She also maintained the monitor duty to keep the other heroes free to commit to their super-heroics.
