Might of the Monocle! (Volume 1, Issue 207)

A hypnotized Johnny steals information from Reed's lab before returning to campus. Peter Parker, newly employed by the Daily Globe, goes undercover as a new student to learn more about the exclusive university.

A Clash of Iron (Volume 3, Issue 15)

Sue is completely under Ronan's control. However, a side effect of the Mannequin parasite controlling her is that every time she is injured, her body self-heals in a manner that makes her more alien in appearance and animalistic in nature.

Bedlam Breakout! (Volume 3, Issue 18)

The team is locked inside of a virtual reality simulation, and the Twisted Sisters use their powers to transform Sue into "Torque," intending to make her their brainwashed ally. Instead, "Torque" turns against them and, with Reed's help, uses her force field powers to destroy the VR machines that the team is trapped inside of. Sue becomes her old self again, and to her relief, her efforts have also destroyed the Mannequin parasite within her.
