Okay I take back what I originally said. She looks really good in this and her use of ice powers is really nice here. I agree though that it would be nice to see her use more rain/water/humidity etc but given what we have here I can't complain too much.

baby I thought the same thing!!! I was so impressed with how creative they utilized her powers. Lightning, ice and wind shields I was mind freaking blown. I love the costumes too. I pre registered and will give this game a try.

Me too. And did tou see how they named the powers? High Pressure for the wind sphere attack. Electric Explosion for the explosive ball lightning. Microbursts. And hail daggers. Its like…was someone reading our Thermodynamics, Mechanics & Feats of Storm’s Powers thread on CV? We got force fields on there too! If so their homework is supremely delicious!

that list is very thorough and complete list of her abilities. I wouldn't be shocked if the developers when coming up with her skill set reviewed the cv thread. now if only the xwriters would follow suit lol.

That part, her defensive capabilities are first rate here and should be further explored. I've also wondered if Storm should use her wind abilities to augment her physical strength much like some TK users do. The closest thing I've ever seen to this is when Storm threw Rogue in the animation LOL!

The last time I remember seeing her boost her attacks with wind was during her solo.

Is that what's happening here? Just asking because for me she's just bodyslamming him with wind. I would like to see her make physical contact and let the wind increase the impact of force so to speak if that makes sense.

I always thought that's what she was doing. Maybe she wanted to keep her distance though since he did break her ankle with a simple squeeze?

she's used wind to power her kicks before but I certainly wouldn't mind her to use wind to enhance her strength or durability.

she lacks a bit of melanin which makes me a bit concerned for the mcu version. I hope they don't whitewash her in the movie but yea I can see jostling. at times she looks Rihanna to me too

That was one of the first things I thought when I saw those pics. She looks amazing but I’d prefer quite a bit more melanin. I don’t get Nilotic Kenyan from that design.

its clear these developers have something against dark skin. its very annoying it seems every time a game drops with her this is just a given to be an issue.
the voice actress isn't good either.

I wouldn’t say they have something against dark skin, it’s just light skin is put on a pedestal and Storm unfortunately has a long and consistent history of being depicted as racially ambiguous to outright white passing in the comics.
If she were made in the 2010’s she’d be depicted much more authentically but in gaming, where dark skin in general is pushed aside in favor of lighter shades, this is gonna be a consistent issue. I expect a lot of it to go away when the MCU inevitably casts a dark skin actress that will be the inspiration for all future adaptations in multimedia.

you don't have to say it love, the evidence is in how they choose to design her. if developers place a lighter skin tone on a pedestal what seems to be all the time what message does it convey about darker skin? look at the villain she fought on the raft. the developers didn't have issue showing the prisoners in darker hues. l just a thought.
truthfully lighter skin has been pushed or highlighted across different formats. gaming, comics, movies, television, etc. a woman did a ted talks on how the nwa movie casted black girls and lighter women were considered A-level while the darker girls were way lower on the grading scale. Its a thing that still persists unfortunately and I don't think its going to change anytime soon.
just some recent topics on the matter that reached newsworthy status but this certainly doesn't escape the innumerable conversations I've seen had on how she is generally depicted lighter by artists and design companies:

That’s a good point, I guess a better way to put it is that these developers and other creators don’t actively hate darker skin, they just have an unconscious bias towards lighter shades which has been socially conditioned in Western culture for generations. It’s a shame and a cultural attitude that’s slightly improving as black women embrace their natural features and pop culture at large becomes more comfortable positioning them as leads and objects of beauty.
I definitely think Disney’s aware of that more recent shift and that they’ll cast a darker skinned actress to play Storm. They proved that with the Black Panther movie and the casting of Monica Rambeau. Hopefully with some healthy MCU synergy Storm’s actress can become the template for future depictions of the character in gaming and the comics. But it sucks that it’s gonna take corporate synergy to address the whitewashing of Marvel’s most iconic black female character.

perhaps they do have an unconscious bias that's fair. I just am a bit over giving people the benefit of the doubt considering it has been a reoccurring issue.
and I agree with your last point. I'm hopeful with the reception of both bp and Monica that will cast a darker skinned woman.

Oh I'm sure Storm REMEMBERS Ewing seems to have done his research. This scene is def a reference to their first dinner scene. But Doom is dealing with a older, wiser, and more powerful Storm this time. I doubt he'll be calling her "child" this time around lol

She still has it on the SWORD #8 cover so I would think so. And tbh the costume is REGAL AF and fits her new title perfectly.
I hope that during this dinner there will be more references to CC's original story burying Byrne's retcon once and for all.
SO happy for Ororo! This is beyond.
