It's called fighting for crumbs.
It is NOT Wandavision's NOR Black Panther 2's job to get ready for anyone except who is slated to be in those projects.
That is like saying Blade movie was prepped for MCU-when it there was over a 20 year gap between Blade 1 and Iron Man.

Yes, eh!
A lot of characters' eyes change from normal to "coloured" opaque when their powers are activated...it's not as though Storm has the sole ownership of that transformation.
Storm's eyes go white opaque. Monica's eyes go blue opaque...this really is a non-issue.
I sincerely hope THIS is not what the big plans Marvel has on store for storm was because if it is im out:

Yeah ummm this makes me immediately skeptical. I’m hoping there is a bigger/more critical role if this is the plan. I’ll wait to hear more.
Like maybe she being a galactic ambassador with universal authority and using earth, Shiar & otherworldly resources to push her own mandate. And maybe...these kids are fledgling chimeras she puts under the field mgmt of Gambit, Rogue & Jubilee but work under her overall leadership.

Yea agreed. I don't want to jump the gun but I know Vita had posted a lot of storm merchandise and it was assumed they were writing storm solo but we later found out vita was writing this book.
Your take on this would be ideal. Her having that type of influence on a galatic level would be pretty impressive.

True!
When Jean has the Phoenix Power, her eyes go from green to white. Even without the PF, Jean's eyes are sometimes portrayed as white or pink. It's a Power Thang, lol!
Storm is going to the Shi'ar, out in space, to collect on her favour owed.
She is not staying on Earth to train/chaperone/mentor teenagers who may or may not be mutants. I could possibly see her showing up once or twice but...80's Xavier, she is not.

Yea hopefully she just shows up for a cameo on her way to space. I'll give it a try but this just doesn't pique my interest.

it doesn't pique mine either. I prefer goddess who preserves the balance of all natural things over the mother hen.
no thanks!!

Can't agree more. I seriously hope they will take the Godhood part, and make her visit Oshtur so she can tell her the truth behind her bloodline blessing and teach her to be a Goddess.

absolutely! enough with the storm who holds back. I'm ready for her to take it to the next level.
maybe we get a glimpse of this jn the next few issues of the bp to be released.

[COLOR="#000080"]Ahhh...this reminds me of a post I made over a year ago...
[QUOTE][I]"I attribute this to the "mothering" effect.
The recent discussion in this thread about writers' tendency to give Storm the "mother hen" persona has been detrimental to her imo. In their eyes, Storm is there as the neutral character, not too far one side, not too far the other and she's always there to give that motherly advice even though no one listens or even wants it.
That has done nothing for her growth or development over the past decade or so.
What happened to Mohawk Storm? Outback Storm? X-Treme Storm?
She has been turned into a safe, reliable character, like a pair of worn, comfortable shoes. Basically they made her dull. She doesn't have an edge anymore."[/I][/QUOTE][/COLOR]

you were correct then and its spot on now. its boring and keeps her from truly expanding her influence and presence within the MU. so yes I completely agree with all that was said here. :)

Can I just say another added piece I love of that last scan - the light purple/pinkish lightning <3. I like yellow and sky blue as well butvpart of me loves the idea of the colors of the lightning changing based on the source of where its coming from. Like of it from tje planet’s EM field - light purple, bioelectric blast - white, pulled from a storm - sky blue, agitating air molecules aroindva target - yellow. A weird observation and ai am thinking way too much on it lol but...just a little creative flare

yes I also love the purple highlights in her lightning. I was hoping it was a signal she was tapping into her godhead abilities but I do like your idea as well regarding the source. either would work for me honestly lol

Very good idea. If Marvel is going to keep portraying Storm as lightning lass, might as well add some beautiful visual variety. I loved how Ororo's lightning in [I]Giant Size Storm [/I] was drawn with a wispy, smoke-like quality to it. It made it look ethereal, like she was blurring the line between energy manipulation and magic.
[QUOTE=Odd Rödney;5393236]Ah, yes, of course!!

I didn't appreciate the art at first but I later appreciated it for the reason you mentioned. I'm all for nostalgia when done properly and I think it was in this case.

Yeah, it is pretty great! I would like to see more art like this. We'll probably see more like that with that new 'X-Men: Legends' title exploring dangling plot threads from back in the day.

What are some issues that have confirmed that Ororo is immune to fire and hot temperatures?

that was one of the nice things about xmen legends. it definitely felt like I was reading a 90s book.
[QUOTE=whitecrown;5393271]What are some issues that have confirmed that Ororo is immune to fire and hot temperatures?[/QUOTE]
Ororo's immunity varies based on who is writing her but it has been established that she is immune to weather effects, including lightning which burns at temperatures much higher than fire.

instances where she was exposed to direct radiation without burning:

Thank you so much for all those examples! I was always confused because I think there have been some issues where she wasn't immune to her own lightning or someone else's lightning or electric attack so I wasn't sure what was considered the standard. Must just be inconsistent writing like you said.

you are welcome. there are instances when she has been hurt by her own powers but this is generally when her will, body or spirit has been damaged in some manner:

she experienced something similar prior to her punk phase (she was going through an internal turmoil) when she fought silver samurai and her powers backfired on her:
