Absolutely love her. But I am biased. She is the first Indian X-Men. She represents my people. Go Trinary!!!

Thunderbird III and technically Omega Sentinel are Indian X-Men that precede Trinary, not to mention the kid with the purple armor powers... Indra. I don't think any of them were particularly well developed, but they've had their moments, maybe even more than Trinary.
Haven and Typhoon were villains in the 90's X-Factor(that deserve to be revisited, I really liked them), also Indian. Certainly Marvel in general and X-Men in specific could do with more characters from India, but Trinary certainly isn't the first or only.
Trinary needs a birth name.
Some of these threads are so old I don't remember if I responded to them.
Yes, I like her, from what little I've read. I didn't get to finish [I]Red[/I] but I plan to eventually on Comixology.
[QUOTE=yogaflame;4924187]I feel like Storm could do a 'short-hand' version of technopathy(or telepathy) given her own sensitivities for EM fields(which both computers and human brains use to one extent or another) if she wanted to. Like she would never be as proficient as a natural technopath(or telepath), but could kinda do it, like how Professor X could kinda communicate with Krakoa, but only Cypher can[I] really[/I] communicate with them. Someone like Magneto too.[/QUOTE]This sort of thing HAS been alluded to. Karima Shapandar's backstory is that Xavier and magneto used their powers together in order to reconfigure the Sentinel tech and prevent it from controlling Karima's mind. Magneto could feel where the tech was but not see what he needed to do with it.
And yeah, Storm can sense some kinds of EM fields, but not in much detail. It's a bit of a hot/cold glow to her with a vaguely defined shape AFAIK. She's better at sensing air disturbances, and once nailed a plane with a lightning bolt by sensing it's wake as it flew through the air.

I like her a lot yeah
Not at all. Too overpowered from the start. And she was in the worst X-Men book I've read in a while, Red.
Love her and her design is gorgeous. Love her powerset it's vague enough that a lot of writers can do a lot with it
[QUOTE=Havok83;4923868]So what happened to Trinary? I thought she was going to be a supporting cast member of Excalibur but has been MIA since the first issue. That set her up to be Apocalypse' apprentice and nothing has been done with that since

The X-men dont really have alot of good Indian representation and her powers would make her a good fit over in X-Force alongside Sage, Forge and Beast. I could even see her with X-Factor[/QUOTE]
She isn't needed in XForce precisely because of Sage and Forge.
Sad to hear she isn't being used in Excal and I agree her as Nur's apprentice has potential
as for X-Factor.. let's get some issues first lol but yeah she could work there perhaps
Yes, I like her desing and she could do really cool things with her powers under a good writer. I also enjoyed her introduction story in Red.

No. Storm can perceive and manipulate individual electrons. She can perceive the synaptic cascade of electricity in a person's nervous system. She can wipe a digital memory card without disabling the flash in the same camera. She can charge the entire planet's magnetosphere with solar wind producing visible aurora all over the world without destroying the power lines/satellites. She has the necessary delicacy and scale to operate on immense or tiny EM fields.

Those are all feats sprinkled over Claremont's run from the old days, to X-Treme, to XSE Uncanny, some modern random feats, and some from her own solo series.

There was Sapna too from Lemire's Extraordinary (don't blame you for not remembering anything about that), whose spirit now resides in the Soulsword.
Also, Alpha Squadron's Wiki page say Indra was supposed to have a younger sister who attended the school. Where is she? :confused:
