Ororo Munroe: Storm/Hadari Yao Appreciation 2021

[QUOTE=pkingdom;5524784]Storm getting taken out by a tazer of all things is pretty BS, glass cannon or no.

I haven't heard a peep of anything X related happening this week, so I'll have to dig around and find out what happened. We were told that big things were coming for Storm about a year ago and its been a whole lot of nothing so far. Here's hoping that changes. I want to see actual character work and not 'look at how awesome she is' kind of thing. Storm knocking people around like that recent X-men issue is fine every now and then, but its not really character work.[/QUOTE]

Exactly her mutant power enables her to be immune to all environmental weather conditions, ( temperature, electricity, humidity, pressure, etc). Electricity is electricity whether it’s from a lightning bolt or a taser. It doesn’t make sense that she wouldn’t be immune unless her powers weren’t working for some reason.

[QUOTE=Kingdom X;5524717]I LOVE "The Other History of the DC Universe" book by him. All that stuff that we've been talking about regarding Storm's identity and how that would play into her life as a superhero is exactly what Ridley has done with Black Lightning, Katana, and others in that book.[B] Now I'm sad he isn't just writing a Storm book[/B].[/QUOTE]

I haven't heard good things about his solo character work at DC. The Other History of the DC Universe sounds like a story that looks at the big picture which should be a boon for him considering Wakanda as a setting and its politics, hopefully he is able to crack an intriguing story that will keep my attention.

[QUOTE=butterflykyss;5524594]awesome lolol. you need to stay away from here on Wednesday when storm is in an issue lol.



she definitely is a glass cannon but so is characters like Rachel. what affords her the ability to go toe to toe like she did against thor were her tk shields. now in the curious case of storm her powers could very much be utilized in a similar fashion but writers never really showcase her powers being utilized defensively. there were a few notable exceptions including the most recent xmen issue when she used her em field to block Stygian hammer attack:

all in all, she has the ability to use her powers in a way that would take her out of the glass cannon category but writers don't use her abilities creatively like this typically.[/QUOTE]

I mean storm is already terrifyingly op, the only reason she loses any battle on a forum is majorly because she is a glass cannon. The fact of the matter is that force shield wind barriers and pressure domes are well within her power and then some. But the issue is that she is in a team setting and her presence usually renders a lot of members redundant hence why lightning lass. I kinda understand the writer's in this regard. She has sooo many hax abilities it's crazy soo many ways to take out an opponent. That's one of the main reasons I want her to get a solo so she will be able to grow and expand without holding back. I remember several instances where it is stated that storm really holds herself back in order to integrate and save lives. Her fight with valkyrie was an excellent proof of this.

So..the knife thing in Maruders 20....when'd Storm become knife girl? I mean, she used one in LifeDeath and all that..but this seems a bit silly.

It's just part of who she is and how she stays ready. You dampen her powers boom you get stabbed. Also it was kinda part of a joke that the omega master of the weather carries knives around. Like Emma said she didn't need it.

I've never read his comics but what you described definitely has me excited. it sounds like he will be the perfect person for the new black panther book. very interested to see where he will take the franchise.

[QUOTE=jwatson;5524737]I will definitely be getting this until that happens. lol. Loved Juann Cabal's art on all new wolverine. I hope he makes the book about tchalla and reintroducing him into the MU because based on his current solo you would think BP is in a whole other world. Again i'm not a fan of romance in comics so that is the last thing on my mind and that is beyond BP/Storm. If i'm honest the only couples i like in comics were already together by the time i got into comics.[/QUOTE]

I think Coates did an amazing job with the world building and established enough of a foundation that will give whoever the next writer is plenty to work with if he so chose to. nevertheless, for those who enjoy black panther and his mythos (which includes storm) i hope the next run is a success whatever that will look like.

[QUOTE=Idiopop;5524990]There’s no such thing as overpowered in a universe with people who can literally bend reality. She’s an OMEGA level mutant. Omega actually comes from the greek alphabet and it is their last letter. In English it’s defined as “the extreme or final part”. So in terms of power it doesn’t get any better than that. Omega Level mutants have no definable limit.[/QUOTE]

I agree I was mostly posing the question to play devils advocate here. I believe most storm fans would conclude she is appropriately powered but I think there is a large populace that see her as the movies have depicted and in some cases even the comics where she is more hot air than anything.

this is all true too. I believe in most cases if storm is written competently she could win. when a character could literally ko by

she was shown bearing knives well before life and death when she lost her powers. she owned a hunting knife and appeared to have a least skill enough to throw it at Xavier mental projection:

then there was her iconic battle with callisto. though it wasn't her knife her dexterity with it showed a proficiency with the weapon:

then she pulled out a blade much later after life and death when she and Emma were depowered during astonishing:

Honestly, I think the X-Office was stuck with what they could do with Storm until her story arc in Black Panther was finished. She has been the High Priestess of Krakoa from the beginning, but they have used her sparingly because of her appearance in other unfinished storylines. I think the X-Office is going all in on her this year.

I would love a Storm solo series, but even if they can't do that, I think she is going to be leading a new team.

#excited. I hope he continues to explore storm and black panther's love!! let's go!!

now marvel can we get a storm solo???[/QUOTE]

Don’t wanna rain on the parade but it was shown on panel that T’Challa said for Storm not to return to Wakanda unless he approved. Why would Ridley write them as a couple when they’re broken up by the time he starts his book? Especially when Storm is being positioned for a major story arc in the X-Men that will likely culminate in her leading or being part of a team written by Hickman himself?

Storm has nothing to do with T’Challa anymore and likely won’t factor into the relaunch and if you know this guy’s track record with romance and black women in particular he’s not gonna champion Ororo lol. The only person who will do that is god-king Hickman and the story he has planned for her.

not sure if you saw but Duggan mentioned both offices were using the character in parallel indicating the bp offices story didn't impede on the story the xoffices were telling.

I dont have any real expectations though I'm in your camp of individuals who would love a solo series.

that was xoffice drivel that was all ignored in black panthers king in black with tchalla lamenting over ororo. if that story had occurred in the BP books I would have concern but considering the bp offices are showing them in a loving manner working together there isn't much reason to think they would drastically shift from this unless the xoffices communicate to them they cannot use storm.

I really enjoyed Marauders #20, probably my fave issue so far. Ororo's other superpower is the ability to knock sense into people [B]literally.[/B] She beat Emma and Hatemonger so hard that she made them question their life choices, that's brilliant. And any appearance of the classic Cockrum outfit is a plus, I'll miss Caselli drawing her. The anthological format of the story was clever in how it presented Storm as a mythological figure who represents different things to different people. It's a shame that we had to wait until her departing issue for Duggan to give her this amount of focus. Storm's overall time on Marauders was adequate for me, certainly not terrible and it had badass and heartfelt moments sprinkled throughout, but she was definitely being held back. It was strongest when exploring her complicated relationship with Emma, as we got to see the positive influence that Ororo had on her life.

That is because you have him using a person DC acted like he did not exist for years and a faction of fans that act like Bruce Wayne is the ONLY Batman despite how many OTHERS have been in that suit.

I would suggest reading American Way and it's sequel-a book about the first black super hero in the 60s.

agreed gerry did an amazing job on the issue. I loved everything about the send-off. her inclusion her was a vast improvement over Guggenheim. she had way more development than Pyro and bishop but what we saw especially issue 20 made up for a lot I didn't like about the other gerry marauder written issues I didn't necessarily prefer.

[QUOTE=pkingdom;5524557]Storm has always been kind of a glass cannon though. Phenomenal control of the weather with the might of the elements, including cosmic forces. Still physically a relatively normal woman. A very athletic and well trained woman, but not really someone like Thor or any of the supersoldiers who can take a beating.[/QUOTE]

Yep, they've always depicted her as a glass cannon, even in video games. I do hope they step on that and with her divinity, they boost her stats like the rest of the gods. When you think about it, all Gods in the MU, have a lot of durability, strength and they can take hits. I do hope they go the same way for the Hadari Yao.

[QUOTE=Idiopop;5523448]I read the Marauders issue. It was lacking in feats but it did have some quality character development showing how respected she is and how diplomatic she can be. Nothing we didn’t already know.

They had a perfect opportunity to have her calm the waves which were clearly bothering Emma but Storm just ignored it

I believe you are misreading this page right there. It seems that almost all forget here that weather reflects Storm's emotions, if there is a rageful, dark storm outside, this means that most likely she is bothered with something. Just like her powers going haywire, in that screen when she was watering her plants and threw that knife at Xavier's projection.

I believe Duggan, wanted to show with that dark, murky weather, that Storm was feeling sad that she is leaving the team and the meantime enraged, or something among those lines. Since she was in one room with someone with who she doesn't enjoy spending time. Emma, I am looking at you. Perhaps the reason why she couldn't affect it, or she simply didn't want to bother with the natural ecological system.

Which in hindsight makes it somewhat odd how she was depicted physicaly overpowering Marrow back during their fight in Uncanny X-men 325. Considering the later was over time given peak human strength and shown being able to cut and rip appart even steel armored machines.

But then again the fight was arguably just an "edgier" attempt at recreating Storm vs. Callisto, with a weaker overall quality as a result.
And Storm's opponent was primarily designed to be an uglier, scrawnier, more evil, piercing culture inspired counterpart to the Callisto, meant only to die and the above mentioned qualities were only added over time (including a healing factor).

I guess if redrawn for a flashback these days, it might look a bit different, including the heart ripping replaced with something less over the top and more clever. Though still never able to stand up with the original Storm vs. Callisto moment.

even if they don't give her some enhancements there her powers can be utilized defensively to accommodate for that honestly. Hickman perfect did this in xmen when she fought against the Stygian.

I did notice that in this issue that Storm was able to control or chanel another mutant energy. Lash abilities is not electrical but some form of unique energy. So more proof of her bending all form of energy.

I thought it was a form of electricity? Bishop called it an electric whip.

[QUOTE=Subliminally;5526551]I thought it was a form of electricity? Bishop called it an electric whip.[/QUOTE]

Could possibly be.
But the fact that she was being use to decommission ships and the precise slicing ship in half made me think of some form of laser or different energy. Maybe if she was powering a city or something it would have been more clear. But it did say she does the work of twenty men.
(Assuming the amount man power it would take to decommission them. )But maybe she was also doing other roles in the ship yard. maybe we'll see Lash in the future.

Storm and Emma came to an understanding of mutual respect when they shared that moment after hearing of Kate's death. There's no animousity between them. The stormy conditions may have been just the natural climate in and around the North Atlantic, where Mykines is located. And probably why she didn't do anything to quell it.

Exactly I am in a battle forum on comicvine right now and a guy is saying magneto will beat storm because she is a glass cannon. I was looking at him shook like. But really it is not his fault the waters at an expense to give their opponents some fighting chance have severely nerfed x charachters in fights. Storm has defensive capabilities in fact she should have more defensive capabilities than most since she can manipulate a lot of elements. But this has never been established because if storm was to get any form of defense there will be no logical way for her to lose most fights unless PIS is involved.

Yh her power doesn't look like a lightning whip also bishop wasn't there so assumed that since storm caught it it was lightning. But yh most energy is in a state of flux storm manipulates the forces that induce flux so storm being able to control that energy whip is right. Also I saw it as a durability feat as she was able to catch an energy weapon string enough to slice whole ships in half.

I do agree her animosity wasn't towards Emma, I do think it was storm because as you realize anyone she talks about leaving the weather changes it happened on the mountain with Callisto and now with her in the ship having her last lunch with the team. I also think it foreshadowing something she is worried about something, I think that will have to do with something coming plus the empress did say she is in storms debt which could foreshadow something sure about to happen to need that help.

Nah, I am pretty sure that the stormy weather which we witnessed during their last meal together was because of Storm. As someone above mentioned it did show when she was speaking with Callisto and it was emphasized in Marauders 20 as well since on some of the words and sentences, you can see lightning striking in the distance. Especially when all of them raised their cup for a cheer and a lightning stroke down foreshadowing everyone and showing only their silloehte. So yeah, definitely Storm's subconscious doing, due to her uneasiness and probably sadness for leaving. Worried, as well, if we are to judged by the weather.

Plus, I've learned for quite some time now, that nothing with Storm and weather is natural. If she is in the area and the weather is stormy, there is a reason for it to be stormy. I highly doubt that with Storm there, the weather wouldn't be nice, so definitely for shadowing and showing her subconscious. After all, let's not forget that Kitty enrolled her for her crew because she wanted the winds to be on their side. Even Kitty herself says to Storm that she is fully aware that she is not a fan of Emma and that the request is not coming from Emma but from herself. So yes, Storm still dislikes Emma. I believe it was mentioned in the beginning of the Marauders this exact moment and when Kitty actually approached Storm to join her crew.

Reading this really adds a whole different element to the story for me and in hindsight i completely agree and can see how her emotions may have been causing the rocky weather. It really adds emotion to the situation. Even storm can't stop the internal turbulence of change. It was probably all she could do to keep her emotions in check.

Also I saw it as a durability feat as she was able to catch an energy weapon string enough to slice whole ships in half.



I do agree her animosity wasn't towards Emma, I do think it was storm because as you realize anyone she talks about leaving the weather changes it happened on the mountain with Callisto and now with her in the ship having her last lunch with the team. I also think it foreshadowing something she is worried about something, I think that will have to do with something coming plus the empress did say she is in storms debt which could foreshadow something sure about to happen to need that help.

See this is where i am lucky. When it comes to battles. I don't need to compete because i can draw Storm beating up anyone i want and it's pretty cathartic.

like this got me through i vs x and i like medusa.

I have like 100s of artistic clap backs people will never see. Tale of two psylockes etc. etc.

[QUOTE=jwatson;5526942]Reading this really adds a whole different element to the story for me and in hindsight i completely agree and can see how her emotions may have been causing the rocky weather. It really adds emotion to the situation. Even storm can't stop the internal turbulence of change. It was probably all she could do to keep her emotions in check.[/QUOTE]

But...the entire mood was light and fun.
Storm is even laughing and enjoying the camaraderie and touching moments. Apart from the possible underlying sadness of leaving (and Storm by that time was fully committed in her decision to do so) there really is nothing to indicate her being so violently and emotionally affected as to inadvertently create such a tempest.

And...if it was a storm of her making, inadvertently...she would have quelled it when Emma made her comment. She didn't.

But that is a apart of what makes controlling her emotions so important. No one knows how her emotions will exhibit themselves. So i can totally see that way but thats not to say it's the only way to see it. They could have left the waters rough so no one could interrupt their moments. It could have been left because it was a natural Storm and it seemed petty to just stop it to relax. There are a million reasons so i'm going to lean in on 92ghost version as it adds a subtle emotion to the whole thing i thoroughly enjoyed. Storm has literally been in the trenches with these team so her outside demeanor definitely won't match her internal. I think the "cause tomorrow i act like i don't know you." was a bittersweet joke on her part.

Or consider...it's just the writer's literary methods of juxtaposition and symbolism (and perhaps even personification) underscoring/emphasising that this is indeed a Storm-centric issue.

It could definitely fit as well. The turbulence of the Storm, the end of the sun-filled dawn as we move into the unknown. Though i also think people are underestimating Emma wasn't talking about the rocking of the boat at all but rather her feelings at the fact that Storm was leaving. Emma must have been out on rough waters many times. Why didn't she just switch into her diamond form? I feel like she wanted to feel that time with the team and it was overwhelming for her but she can't feel in diamond form so she bared it. I love the place Storm/Emma and i love that their history imo has been honored. It has been a long road for them to mutual understanding but it really played out over the years on panel.

I agree with Emma...she was most likely prevaricating in the ship's cabin because she was quite well when she was speaking with tPoS at the end.
