Indeed, especially when one considers how women of African heritage are generally built (they tend to be far curvier & somewhat more muscular than other ethnic groups). Storm looks way too skinny to me, oh, well.

That is an overgeneralization. Africans are incredibly diverse; the Nilotics in particular are super tall and thin, Twas are short, Bantus thicc, and everything in-between. I think Ororo is more of a balance between tall/thin and athletic, but I don't think she should be overly thicc.

I did state in general or on average when compared to women from other parts of the world. I am aware of what you've stated. And I still contend she looks a bit too skinny for a superhuman in that pic much less an African one.
whether thin or not ororo has always been pretty busty.
thought she doesn't look that busy here lol

her skin is dark enough. Storm doesn't have to be a dark brown skin. She can be caramel. I'm fine with it as long as she isn't a Halle Berry light skin color

I leave it up to the artist's interpretation.
Byrne, Smith, Romita Jr., Silvestri, Yardin, Coipel, Larraz, Yu, Lolli...they all illustrate Storm beauty-fully in their own distinctive styles.

I would like it to have more volume too. from what I understand this game will include characters and their counterparts from multiple dimensions so perhaps we will have a different version with more volume.

This is all I am saying! As a young girl, I originally identified with Storm in part because she was a full figured, black woman. I don't want to loose that piece of her. Storm is just as much African-American in her DNA as she is African. There is every possibility she could get the body type and make from her African American dad, and not her African mom.

I was wondering if she will join the game. Glad to see her in there. Not sure if it will be another cash grab. I would much prefer for a single-player experience or something among those lines with RPG elements and story. They did that in the past with an X-Men game but then they completely switched to the cash-grab bullshits and haven't seen a good mobile game with Storm for a while now.

Ororo's original stats were 5'11", 127lbs. That's supermodel/Nilotic skinny. Even the updated weight of 145lbs is still on the thin side. Yardin be doing wayyy too much.

I always thought 127 was way too skinny. Also idk why people think Storm has to be so dark skinned. Why can't she just be brown skinned like Janet or Angela? Another thing...when Storm does her outer space feats I need them to make her powers stronger when she's outer space because lighting on Jupiter is 100 times more powerful than that on Earth

I think the issue is that a lot of the times what is being called brown skinned is really really light brown skin that's barely brown. There have been times that because of the coloring in some books, I think it's a tanned woman with light blonde hair.
Anok Yai is 5' 10" and about 120lbs, with South Sudanese ancestry(Nilotic). She's a bit skinny for Ororo's new stats, but only marginally for her classical stats.

If you distribute 15-25lbs of muscle and t/a you get modern Ororo stats, but that's not going to create thicc proportions, just fill them out a bit.
Okay, found a match for the modern stats: 5'11.5", 145lb Aisha Tyler.

Oooh, I like all of those body figures for Ororo. Especially the dark skin because we don't need another whitewashed Halle Berry here.

Can't agree more with that.
On the other side, Marvel stats when it comes to weight and height has always been mediocre correct, but some people take different understanding of that. For me, Storm's perfect body and face representation in the real world would be Yetide Badaki, she is for example 5ft 3 ¾ (161.9 cm official confirmation) and weighs 120 lbs (she said so herself, no official confirmation on that):
[ATTACH=CONFIG]106470[/ATTACH]
Now, I do know that she is on the short side, but with some high heels, she can get to those 5'8" or 5'11" or even via some small angle changes, she can appear much taller. I like how her build is almost perfect and the closest thing to what we would have with real Storm. She is thick, she has all the curves and she has the body, as well!
