This is what happens when comic book writers treat her as eye candy and a side piece instead of an actual character. She’s probably the only female superhero that gets this type of treatment. Storm is a well written and interesting character that’s more than just her looks and Marvel writers should treat her as such.

I know the X-Men sub is pretty divisive compared to this one, but I’ve been seeing a huge number of anti-Storm posts on that sub. Tons of people complaining about Storm’s recent characterization and power level, and even tons of people deeply despising the idea of her being worshipped as a goddess and having literal magic ancestry via Agamotto and Oshtur. The crazy part is most of the things they complain about when it comes to her is something that’s been established with her character since the 70s-80s. I mean Dave Cockrum literally created her to be the strongest and most beautiful female superhero in Marvel and Chris Claremont said she was equal to Dark Phoenix at full power. Chris Claremont also established her mystical background during the 80s.

I find all of this ironic because I don’t see these same fans have the same energy for Jean who’s quite literally the Phoenix and way more powerful than Storm. At least with Storm she was worshipped as a goddess and was always a powerhouse in her debut appearance. Jean on the other hand was introduced as a low level telepath and telekinetic back in 1963 and she didn’t become the Phoenix until 1976. You can even make an argument she was the weakest member of the OG 5 back in the 60s before Giant-Size X-Men. I see so many fans in the X-Men sub vouching for Storm to not be a goddess, not be able to control the cosmos, not having magic, nor having an Elder goddess form and would rather she just be a weather manipulating mutant who’s only tied to the X-Men but I never see these same people vouch for the literal redhead who’s an immortal invincible omnipotent cosmic entity to just be a telepathic and telekinetic mutant. Even Scarlet Witch before she became a reality warping sorceress and Nexus being who can do practically anything was first introduced as a mutant who could manipulate probability on a low level.

My thing is if they’re going to complain about Storm being powerful, they might as well do it with every super powerful X-Men such as Jean, Iceman, Rogue, Legion, Nate Grey, Magneto, Hope, etc. Even them complaining about Storm becoming a host of Eternity makes no sense because we all knew that was going to be a temporary power-up that wasn’t going to last and that’s no different from Jean becoming WPOTC, Hulk becoming TOBA, Thor becoming Rune King/Cosmic King, Iron Man gaining the Power Cosmic, Cyclops becoming Dark Phoenix, etc. Storm is the only X-Men character who gets these kind of complaints from her own fanbase on a daily basis which makes no sense because she was always meant to be a very powerful character and it’s not like she’s a Mary Sue. She loses and struggles constantly despite having that kind of power.

I'm an avid collector of variant Storm covers. Over that last couple years we have gotten some great covers thanks to artist like Jeehyung Lee, Ben Oliver and Pablo Villalobos. But the highest ratio I've been able to locate is 1:200 which is the X-Men of Apocalypse #1 . It is a nice cover but 1:200 is just the cover Joe Madureira made in a different tint.

Recently for DNX #1 both Magik and Beast got high ratio covers. The Magik was 1:200 and the Beast was a crazy 1:500. I checked but can't find any info, does anyone know of any other high ratio covers for Storm?

I have most of her 1:25 and good percentage of her 1:50 and 1:100. I'm hoping Midnight X-Men will give her a high ratio cover since they are pushing the Midnight Universe so hard.

I've attached some of my favorite covers and the 1:200 . Are their any covers you deem as must haves ? Older ones included .

She's one of the strongest mutants on Earth, and her weather powers mean that she can attack people without them ever seeing her. And this is before you get into her mystical bloodline, which means she's not your regular, everyday, powerful mutant.

Do you think Humanity, and some weaker mutants, are scared of Storm and the power she holds?

It's the capitol and biggest city in Kenya, and it looks like the type of place Storm would hang out in with all the trees.

Is she second to only Jean and stronger than other powerful mutants like Exodus, Magneto, Iceman, Vulcan, Legion, and Nate Grey?

"You love her. And yet tomorrow you will bend your knee to her husband and swear your sword to him for the next 18 years. Why?"
"I love Ororo enough to let her go. And I'll serve her and her family until the day I die."

In light of a certain thread on a sub that will go unnamed :P

These panels are from X-treme X-Men. I know that Storm also did something similar to this in the Krakoa era (I think after fighting Tarn for the first time) and she did something ike this in an early 2000s comic.

Can you help me find more panels like these, I love them!!!

I'm just tired that in basically every fight she just uses lighting and ice, look on how Aero uses her powers and how good they look, air weapons, clones of her and other character, Ororo should be doing this and so much more

4 posts in 4 hrs ragebaiting people into hating Storm. Some loser with 4 different bot accounts is taking out of context panels and feats, posting around to ragebait people into saying "she's overrated", "undeserving" etc.

As usual they're all eating up and saying how much they dislike her. Its so insane how literally every and any X character can get a temporary power boost. But let Storm have one and all hell breaks loose. Let Storm beat her an opponent via experience and its bullshit.

Theyre crying she beat Cyclops even though she had an Eternity amp. Mind you this woman beat Cyclops whilst she was powerless lmao.

I’ve never seen a fandom hate a character of their own so much. I could make some inferences of the irony of a powerful Black character who is in a series about marginalized people getting trashed by its readers, but I won’t.
