[QUOTE=LordAllMIghty;5608349]Sigh, the reason, I have little faith in today's X-Writers.
Anyway, Storm taking out a Skrull starship.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]111008[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
Uuuughhhhhh things like this just helps me love the fact that Storm was literally the original female heavy hitter on the X-Men team. I think a lot of people forget the fact that Claremont really put Storm in the Forefront when it came to taking out villains. Like Storm literally hit the ground running lol

[QUOTE=butterflykyss;5608404]exactly I was so confused by it. I dont think any character powers where necessarily explained how they functioned im the giant size issue so it would make any subsequent detail regarding it a retcon based on that logic lol[/QUOTE]
But thats the thing every ones powers expanded and where fleshed out by the 1980s and 1990s... like it wasnt just storm who powers were deepened.. jean, Iceman, Invisible Woman, Dazzler, Wolverines healing factor like loads of folks powers were fine tuned.. hell all telepaths were upgraded a lot.. I just think its funny how he acted like controlling energy to manipulate weather was to odd when weather is all about various types of energy. He never took a damn weather and climate class I see . I hope he never touches another writers another comic book again.

very interesting. the earliest issue where I can recall where this was explained for her was in '79 round up to '80 so you're absolutely right:

he also didn't think she was a real goddess which he also incorporated into gold.

Wait all of this was Guggs?

As the regent of a planet I’m sure she is going to be written at a high power level.

I hope so too. Especially when you sit down and unpack how she basically wrote the rules of the atmosphere on Mars, instead of just following preexisting rules like she normally does on earth. The possibilities here are endless.

This! This right here is what makes me excited. The temperatures fluctuating etc,i think it's going to turn out to be mars reacting to storm emotion. Just imagine her literally hearing something on the wind, or the planet itself warning her of things. lol. Also really enjoyed the JDW interview it was the first time i've ever felt he WANTED to talk about Storm. I also appreciate the candor, at one point Storm was given away to the BP office, water under the bridge but i truly appreciate they didn't just give the goddess away this time.
Also everrrrrybody who was all " yes lets give storm away to another office fully." should not work on an x-book again. jmo.

[QUOTE=butterflykyss;5608319]this man told me in person he finds it hard to write her doing anything beyond wind and lightning. none of what he wrote after he told me that surprised me.[/QUOTE]
Throw him and any writer who agrees with him away! That really infuriates me.

absolutely. it's why so many people have misconceptions around what she can do. I will never forget that stupid avx story where Jason Aaron had tchalla remove Ororo's powers by putting nanites in the sky. that would remove her ability to manipulate those forces.

So exactly how would that have stopped her from doing something painful but non-lethal like bursting his inner ear or even screwing with his nervous system?

I think regarding the nanites Hickman has retconned that so it can be counted as bogus as in the giant size storm one shot she could control nanites as they were present in the environment hence she able to form a bond with them and use them to create weather phenomena.

Literally nothing even the nanites don't make sense storms power isn't just weather patterns they extent to the various elemental forces of the weather. So not being able to control weather patterns for dumb reasons Aaron or whatever writer cooked up. His body is chocked full of elements she can control.
