The wig room
Back in the early days when things weren't so frenetic, the Fantastic Four would have time to relax and unwind a bit between cosmic threats and internal strife in the superhero community. Mister Fantastic would tinker around with complicated machinery to refract tides, the Thing would read newspapers and smoke cigars while weightlifting double decker busses, Johnny would be throwing darts made of fire at a dartboard with a picture of Spider-Man on it, and Sue? Sue would be in the Wig Room.
Because a girl is a girl, even when she's a full-fledged partner of the Fantastic Four. And don't all girls while away the hours trying on different coloured wigs?

Sue should have tried on that curly brown wig with the built-in visor. It's perfect for glamorous poker games!
Note to self: pester Jeremy about letting me turn his walk-in closet into a wig room.
If the closet is full of wigs, then where do you put the shoes?
So, are these wigs made of unstable molecules, or what?
To be fair, she looks gorgeous as a brunette.
My mother (who would have been 20 or so when this comic was published) preferred to keep her hair short for work (as a surgical nurse), but had a cool collection of long hairpieces and a few wigs in assorted colours. I'd say Sue was being practical, except that her real hair is hardly easy-care!
Omigoodness, I think every great girl-hero needs a wig room! And a shoe room! Surely Reed has built a shoe room for his darling wife, right? I mean, she *is* "a full-fledged partner of The Fantastic Four..."
Thanks for the laugh!

Ah c'mon...tell me you wouldn't want to try on wigs! It's not like they let her do much else back then.
Hmmm, maybe it's a "Wig/Danger Room" where the wigs attempt to take over her brain and force her to be out of character many, many years later.
Hmm, I think I found an out for her Civil War characterization: alien symbiotic wig!
Hmm, come to think of it, we've never seen Sue and Medusa in the same room, have we?
WHY do I envision Ben slapping Johnny on the back and saying, "To the WIG ROOM, Chum!"...?
I like Vincent's idea for a "Wig/Danger Room". Maybe that brunette wig can suddenly attack Sue, and she can wrestle it into submission...?
Best,

Trying desperately to fit in a merkin joke here but failing miserably. Ah well, probably for the best.
To the Wig room! Priceless.
Never had thought it!! Sue is the mother of all cosplayers!!!! O.o
Costume wigs are a great way to bring Sue into today's new world.
