The Miseducation of Ororo Munroe

[Carabas]

And couldn't she use lightning to accelerate her speed as well?

No. You can't get thrust from lightning. No mass. How fast it goes isn't a factor there.

[Crimz]

I don't think traveling to other planets was the point of the discussion though. Just her being able to survive in space.

And couldn't she use lightning to accelerate her speed as well? Lightning can travel up to 320,000,000 ft per second or about 220,000,000 miles per hour. She hasn't had any trouble producing lightning in space or solar winds, which also travel at very high speeds(2 million mph).

I don't know about food though... I think that would be a problem unless we count the time she was able to gain material sustenance from the energy of the stars and planets she could perceive in the galactic core.

Oh, I thought it was about her travelling through space.
You have to be able to travel faster than the speed of light to even think about getting to any destination outside of our solar system. It would take years to even get to some planets within it.

Storm's lightning can actually be used as a means of propulsion though.



And she's used it as a force to block Cyclops' force beams as well.



And this demonstration with Bishop is another indication

True, it does depend on the distance and where she's trying to go.

I think most are missing the biggest issue. It would take thousands of years for her to get anywhere. She may be able to survive space if she prepares well enough but she can't travel between planets without a spacecraft. She'd die of starvation way before she even reaches a planet.

I disagree with you on this. For instance, Storm can generate winds on Earth many times faster than what would naturally occur in a hurricane or tornado. This also applies to her ability to wield cosmic forces. She was able to summon the energy of heavenly bodies lightyears away from her in an instant in her galactic core feat. So, Storm is able to move energy and forces at a rate exponentially times the speed of light, and she is capable of energy-based flight with the solar winds and lightning and all.

Harnessing energy lightyears away =/= being able to travel at those speeds. The fastest she has ever shown to travel is via lightning, she has not been shown to be able to exceed that. She also would be unable to comprehend those speeds, she can only travel in straight lines via lightning as it's too fast for her to make any maneuvers. Faster than light would be too fast for to ever comprehend and would lead to her splatting into something.

Hmmm...when you think about it, her lightning attacks double as a telekinetic force bolt...interesting.

Anyway, she can travel on solar winds.

that too both are incredibly fast with solar wind clocking in at 1 million mph.

Storm was always intended to be Uber powerful. She’s recently been confirmed as a goddess, but she’s always been an energy manipulator.

this is absolutely correct!! I'm not sure how readers would interpret it any other way.

Is she a goddess or the avatar/host of a goddess... Also goddess of what? Weather?

[butterflykyss]

she is the Hadari Yao: walker of the clouds, the goddess who preserves the balance of all natural things.



it goes way beyond weather my friend.

[wano]

Just asking, goddess of balance in nature, alright...

[Carabas]

And then the Fire Nation attacked...

I used to love that show.

[Carabas]

I used to love that show.

I still love it. Currently watching the newly released blueray set.
