* DisabilitySuperpower: Sue's deafness led her to learn lip-reading, which comes in handy when the FBI needs to eavesdrop on suspects from afar. Also, to a lesser extent, sign language. Typical plots include "Darn it! The informant is meeting the dealer, but we couldn't use a wire because it would be spotted, so we have to watch through binoculars instead of knowing what is happening", and "We found a witness, but he isn't saying anything - he just keeps wiggling his fingers and pointing to his neck. We think he is drunk or foreign".
