[QUOTE=Saturius;5699367]I thought it was neat but too vague for my tastes. I needed to see more development and acknowledgement of it from tptb, which Ewing seems to want to do, so that's good. I am sure Coates was limited by time and page space, but I would have liked to see flashbacks to the time of Storm's ancestors to give the development greater clarity. I would have also liked to see that it was Osthur who bestowed this ability upon Storm's bloodline since it was said she favored them. Just more definitive connective tissue I guess. We see this stuff in handbooks but the actual comics is what needs to really give it life and visibility. I just think Storm's magic/ wind rider ancestry is so fascinating! I still love that image of an ancestor frying slavers during Hudlin's BP run.[/QUOTE]
thank you for your thoughts here. I agree that I would have liked to see this explained more thoroughly and I truly believe had he and Jen Bartel had been able to write the solo that ws heavily rumored back on 2017 we would have seen this. during that period Guggenheim was very deliberate i believe in trying to offer a counter to Coates' direction for the character but I'm most certainly gracious and happy Ewing looks to want to further that development. I honestly never dreamed we would get what we received from coates because it was a black panther book but it was certainly a beautiful surprise.
and yes that was a beautiful panel:

Her powers are [B]psionic[/B]...they changed it to [B]Energy Projection[/B] in later Marvel version of the cards.;) Which I didn't like because they dropped her energy projection to a 5. I guess it was okay since they stopped using the [B]"Mental Powers"[/B] parts on their cards
In truth, she uses psionic energy to manipulate energy...so she a mix of both.

by the goddess. I was hoping that card wouldn't find itself in here.
so what's wrong with it:
1. She shoots lightning from her body, can create water, emp's, plasma, etc. She has all sorts of energy she can project though her primary one is lightning. Energy projection should be way higher than that.
2. As a psionic that is fine
3. strength is ok
4. fighting ability she trained with Logan, gambit, bp. im sure she knows more than one fighting style
5 intelligence is fine.
I'm not sure why there is a need for certain fandoms to try and make it seem like Ororo is equal all of the sudden to their respective faves. I've never seen such a campaign before it was announced she is omega and true goddess. whoever needs to hear this your favorite is good enough on their own. Ororo is equal to none nor is your favorite. accept it and move own

All of the X-Men are well trained fighters...well according to the cards.
Most heroes are a 4, because of all the combat experience they have.

Jean still has the same stats as Storm in all categories. Also, Storm has trained far more outside of the X-men and Jean has the same stats as her. The X-men are not equal in fight skills Psylocke, Logan, Kitty and etc all have different fighting stats. Storm actually has feats, unlike Jean. So yes it is weird she has the same number as Storm when we have seen h2h combat skills of everyone I mentioned.

Lol, that's why I wanted to see Ororo's magical powers and abilities as opposed to Wanda's, too bad the writers approach Marvel's Magic Universe in a very superficial way, I prefer Dc in these types of themes...

lololol I rolled my eyes when I saw that. not even worth commenting on as we know its not canonically sound.

Agreed here. I think back at that time there was of a perception that she channeled energy as a conduit and didn't generate/project any on her own, which technically isn't in alignment with canon.

This never sat well with me lol. especially if 4 is used for most superheroes soley based on experience in the game vs what they've accomplished on panel. I have always felt like Jean is more of a 3. Someone who is well trained (i.e. she curbstomped Manta), but would lose to a more skilled/seasoned fighter like Marrow, Callisto, Dani Moonstar, Hope, etc. I think Storm is a level above them. She has had such growth in this area of her skillset that I think she should be a 5.

Damn, I get really frustrated, the powergrid at the te showed that Iceman and Cyclops had a higher energy projection than Storm, and on Marvel's official website also..
