| ~ Ginormica before she regains her Quantonium, and her most famous quote. |
Susan Murphy, also known as Ginormica, is the main protagonist of the Monsters vs. Aliens franchise.
She used to be an ordinary human being before she garnered intergalactic powers after she was struck with the Quantonium, causing her to grow massively in size. While she was initially hesitant about such powers at first since it affected her normal life, overtime, she eventually got used to them, to the point where she was willing to utilize such powers to save countless of lives from serious dangers, including Gallaxhar's rampage. From that moment on, not only did she established herself as a superheroine, but she also became an Area Fifty Something agent.
In the original film and the Halloween special, she was voiced by Reese Witherspoon, who also played Elle Woods in the Legally Blonde film series, Vanessa Lutz in Freeway, Jennifer in Pleasantville, Annette Hargrove in Cruel Intentions, and Rosita in Sing. In the TV series, she was voiced by Riki Lindhome.
History
Monsters vs. Aliens
On her wedding day with news reporter Derek Dietl, Susan got hit by a meteorite filled with a gooey substance called Quantonium and caused her to grow into a giant, and as her brown hair turned white, she lost her identity, perhaps her very existence, to Ginormica, her new monster alter-ego. She was sent to a secret monster prison in Area Fifty-Something by General W.R. Monger, where she and her monster inmates met with each other. They were soon released to fight the villainous Gallaxhar, who attempts to invade planet Earth.

Personality and Abilities
Somewhat meek and unassertive, she initially wants nothing more than to return to her old life, but gradually warms to her status as a giant. Due to her exposure to the meteorite's radiation, she is very tall and strong, which helps her destroy Gallaxhar's weapons.
Susan is intelligent, sarcastic, comical (by the TV series), altruistic, friendly, loving, tender, caring, and is very sympathetic, nice and by the TV series, has a good sense of humor. She is also a beautiful woman.
She was in love with a weatherman named Derek Dietl, but when she grew tall, he said it was over, causing Susan to stay away from him. After seeing him as the narcissist he is, she humiliates him during his interview with her.
Weaknesses
If she loses focus, she changes size uncontrollably. Anyone can sometimes take advantage of Susan's morality. She also can't grow if there's a metal-binding on her. Ginormica can be disabled, albeit temporarily by electricity.
Physical Appearance
Susan has fair skin, blue eyes, and brown hair (now white due to her mutation). Her lips are reddish-pink. She is usually seen wearing a sleek, light-blue agent jumpsuit, a black belt with a silver buckle and white and orange-striped gray covered Converse sneakers. The suit has orange-colored stripes along the sides and orange pockets. As of the TV series she wears her hair in a ponytail with a gold-colored scrunchie, and red and white sneakers, along with a slight outfit change, no longer a dark grey (80%) but rather blue and hold shape with her grow/shrink patterns.
After her abduction by Gallaxhar, Ginormica wears a dark blue full-body skin-tight suit with white lines and spangles. In merchandise, the suit's lines are glowing green and the suit is black.
Trivia
- Susan is the second female main protagonist of a DreamWorks movie, after Ginger from Chicken Run.
- She is, however, the first female protagonist to be solely coming from DreamWorks themselves (as Chicken Run is also produced by Aardman).
- It's strange that even in her normal size after the Quantionium's extraction from her, Susan still has white hair and not her original brunette color, indicating that the Quantonium itself has at least a permanent side effect to anyone who comes in contact with it.
- The filmmakers tried to figure out how to afford to make Susan Murphy's hair change. There would have been a scene where Susan is at a beauty parlor where she had to decide if her hair is up or down. The filmmakers had to model two sets of hair and the budget came in they couldn't afford to do her hair up.
- Latifa Ouaou did the grunt for Susan Murphy as Susan got hit by the meteorite.
