History

Ralph and Sue shared a very loving relationship. It all started when Ralph crashed her debutante ball, using the pretense of jewel thieves to catch a glimpse of the lovely Sue. What followed was a whirlwind romance, with Sue and Ralph married a short time later, with Barry Allen serving as the best man. What followed was a life of adventures and superheroics, as Sue stuck by Ralph's side as he traveled around the globe as part of the Justice League. This led to the various dangers associated with the lifestyle, including near death at the tentacles of an alien parasite and being kidnapped by a supervillain, Sonar, to become his consort. At one point, she was raped by Doctor Light, leading to the Justice League magically making Doctor Light less intelligent and very incompetent. Through it all, Sue and Ralph stuck together, even when the going got tough.
At one point, Sue and Ralph were involved in a battle for Opal City, home of many of the Starmen. Ralph met with Hamilton Drew, a legendary detective based in Opal City, and the Dibnys were instrumental in saving Opal City from an attack by various supervillains. After the affair, Sue and Ralph moved into the city, content to spend life together, superhero detective and wife.
