Was Dave Cockrum the biggest Storm fanboy of All time?

Cop a gander and see what I mean. http://seanhowe.tumblr.com/post/1270...e-her-the-most

Now, we all know Storm fans get a bad rep for our unparalleled devotion to the All-Goddess. Can you really fault us, though? The man that was responsible for her creation, her costume, her physical attributes, her power set, and her over all character make-up was essentially an uber fan that drank his own kool-aid. As per the link provided, he is quoted as saying “What I had in mind was to make her the most powerful woman in comics, and the most beautiful woman in comics, and I think I’ve succeeded,” Dave Cockrum told the audience at RiverCon ‘75. “If I can find someone who looks like her, the two tickets to Tierra del Fuego are right here in my pocket.”

Some questions I have for you guys is: Do you think Dave Cockrum truly believed he was creating the most powerful AND beautiful woman in comics? Do you think his purpose for creating her matters at all in the grand scheme? Do you consider his expressed intent for creating Storm specifically impacts her character model? Or do you dismiss Cockrum claims of creating the "most powerful woman in comics and the most beautiful woman in comics" as mere lip service to what he considers to be one of his greatest creations?

Let's be honest, Gold is bad for everyone involved.

I knew Dave. He liked Storm a whole lot, but his favorite was Nightcrawler. (and his wife, Paty, is all about Magneto)

No one, except for maybe Cyclops has it as bad as Storm in the X-men. And even that debatable.

Not even you or I could match Cockrum's level of Storm fanboyism. He's so deliciously unapologetic about it! It does my heart good. Lmao

No, Chris Claremont is THE biggest Storm fanboy ever.

Shouldn't Storm topics go in the X-men forums?

There's a huge possibility that her book will place her in the thick of things in the MU. With that in mind, the MU as a whole is a more appropriate place to discuss her goings on.

I don't actually think ALL Storm's fans are delusional but that was the closest option to my opinion.

What is your opinion on the matter?

But your OP is not about the comic. It's mostly a fan appreciation style post lauding her character and probably should go in her appreciation thread.
So I'm curious. Why do you think Victor von Doom has had more success with solo titles than Storm? The most recently concluded series got mostly high marks from online reviews. Yet I think Fox hasn't done well by either character in the movies.
