[B][I]"neither does she"[/I][/B] clearly indicates that Storm died in that moment and...we see a new Storm body being healed in/by the Acanti who was then projecting her thoughts to the X-Men.
Claremont's hyperbole was very problematic and muddled things up unnecessarily.
[QUOTE=Havok83;5082211]thats like saying Storm doesnt actually fly; she uses the winds to ride around. If the end result is the same, what does it matter? Jean's TK is part of her powerset and that power that allowed her to do this feat just like Storm's resistance is part of her powerset.[/QUOTE]
Storm is immune to the elements. Don't let lovell crop writing come to dilute what Claremont expressed many times in regards to her power set:

I have many other instances where she expressed immunity to the weather and or temperature variations. the only time weather or her powers have directly affected her is when her mind, body, and/or spirit has been compromised. outside of this she should not not be affected by it.
[QUOTE=Synestra;5081120]Speaking of Storm's water manipulation, I remember when I posted on another forum in the VS section where Storm was matched against an opponent whose body was made up of electricity. The opposition claimed Storm hadn't shown the ability to control sentient elementals, and I managed to end the argument with this. It was pretty satisfying.

So, I hate saying this but I've read that line about the women in Storm's family having "White Hair" and "Blue Eyes" multiple times. It just dawned on me that their talkin about the ones with magical potential.

[QUOTE=Synestra;5077959]Yeah, TAS was my favorite of the animated versions of Storm. I still remember the scene where the X-Men were losing against the Hellfire Club, and Storm starts taking them all out by herself. It literally took the Phoenix to stop her.

I actually just started a re-watch of TAS on Disney+ and she has a lot of moments like this.

Because it was meant to be humorous... I dunno, I had no problem with it. It's rare we ever get to see Storm in light-hearted funny moments. Also, I doubt Storm would ever go full force on a cute lil baby shark like Jeff.

Like, this was better than the Nightcrawler and Magneto ones, but it was essentially just a retelling of Morrison's Fantomex origin, with a few more layers(that don't even make sense with established continuity in terms of how many decades they skipped there, and the cameos and references made).
I dunno. I know Hickman can do great issues when he wants to. Let's hope he saved all his creative juices in this Giant Size series for Storm's issue. :confused:
GS:Fantomex wasn’t really bad. I’d rank it above Magneto. I’m curious as to why Storm picked those people to Journey with her into The World. I’m actually very excited for GS:Storm even more.
Empyre: X-Men and GS: Fantomex was good to me.
As for Deadpool it’s whatever. It’s just silly foolishness to me.

The story took place just before she went to Japan and lost her Goddess mode and started her mohawk moment,
The whole becoming a leader, being stuck in space and dealing with the Brood, really throw Storm for a loop.

Gotta agree with you. GS: Fantomex wasn't perfect, but it was good, especially knowing that Storm will play a major role there and she will adventure in The World.
As always I loved this issue of Empyre: X-Men, I f*cking loved how Magic summoned all available psychics to Genosha, I wonder what her plan is, and seeing so many show up, it was really cool and intriguing. I am not too sure, but I think the fat guy at the left background is Shadow King, I am not sure who is the guy next to Kid Omega, but he looks really familiar.

what do you mean when you say mystery? as to why her powers were wonky? if you are talking about that yes it would be later addressed when she later met Yukio and then went punk.

Not explicitly. I always thought this was a reflection of her body being regenerated in the Acanti/the general sense of ungroundedness she felt from all those weeks-months in space away from Earth/her internal disharmony over the killing of the Broodling/committing suicide(which most people don't seem to grasp about her galactic core feat; she let go after killing the Broodling to kill herself, in recompense for breaking her vow of no killing she made after she killed her would be rapists at age 12). So, while it's not directly followed up with, so to speak, it is connected to her powers going out of control in Japan a few issues later, which ended up burning a lot of her hair off, which was the impetus for her punk reinvention(as well as Yukio's, and to a certain extent, Callisto's, influence).

If she was dead dead how did the acanti put her consciousness in a new body. Maybe i missed something about where the Acanti can pull souls from the afterlife because we know for a fact when storm almost died in Xtreme Xmen she went to see her parents when she was on the cusp of life and death and jean went after her to save her but found out she didn't need to and ororo wanted Jean to meet her parents.
If you heal a dead body it's still just a dead body in better shape.

I think we are way far from that, Storm powers and she herself have evolved beyond most of us expected. Surviving Space, surviving death, surviving underwater pressure, breathing under water (which most likely means that she can breath also in space with electrolysis, and can create air and oxygen in space as well), and let me not start on her ascension as Goddess and her slowly accepting it, yet not wanting to lose herself.

Hmm I'm the real world a regular human could survive 15 seconds in space before losing oxegon and stuff and yet claremont's own narrative said storm was in colds that a regular human would die in seconds. But a computer says 30 seconds in space. Okay well I guess we all believe what we believe. Like butterflykyss I will rely on the body of evidence rather than cherry picking two or three lines. A computer also said storm had omega level potential but we now know she is in fact an omega. *Shrugs*
