    It's more an active ability than a passive ability. If Storm is aware that she is facing a telepath, she can put up an electrical trap around her brain that shocks any telepath that tries to enter her mind.

    It's quite ingenious when you think about it as it plays off her immunity to electricity/lightning.





    Some of us wait, some of us act.

    I agree on all fronts on that, but it qualifies more as an extension of her energy manipulation and doesn't change her body physical durability. Now if you've got scans of Ororo changing into an elemental for AND such elemental form tanking a particularly powerful attack, not just deflecting it with energy manipulation, her durability could rate higher

    Nuerons and thoughts are just electrical impulses firing off. It makes sense that somene who can control electrical forces can jam telepaths who deal in the same arena. We have seen too many instances of electromagnetic forces hinder telepathy (Magneto and Electro are the first two that come to mind.)

The case with Colossus is that since his actual physical body changes to very solid steel his durability is tied to that form, while in storm case she can manipulate forces around her to deflect attacks, but if quicksilver were to hit her beyond any energy she's around she'd be as vulnerable as a normal human, now if you want to make it a 3 gimme some scans, I'll accept any evidence but I can't give a 4 to storm since her physical body is technically still vulnerable to harm
    Ok. I get your point. Thanks,

    She was confirmed as moving at speeds greater than sound by Willow on her run with the Xmen. However, she has shown high speeds well before this one being when she re-entered the atmosphere turning into a ball of flame:

    See above. I posted this a couple of pages back. Not sure why anyone would rate her lower than a 6 for speed with this showing.

    Oh ok. I remember you saying this on the other thread. I still don't agree that her powers are like telekinesis and believe this is an over simplification of her powers. Kinetics of any time simply move the items that control and there isn't an actual connection with those objects in the way that Storm feels the elements.

    As I mentioned before to LAM, even with all of this being true I don't think this classification gives an accurate idea of how her powers truly operate. Pyrokinetic isn't connected to fire in the way Ororo is connected with the planet and how the elements are an extension of herself.

    Exactly. These synapses are also present in the heart and is essential for the mechanism that allow our hearts to beat.

    I don't agree with your assessment here. Emma's power to turn into diamond form allows her to be more durable just as Iceman's powers allow her to be more durable. Yes Ororo's abilities don't allow her to withstand a shot from a gun but it does allow her to fly at high speeds in the air without her skin being ripped apart or exposed to radiation without adverse affects, or even fly in the far reaches of the atmosphere without feeling cold. That is a form of durability resultant of her powers just as Emma and Colossus' powers afford them durability when they change their exterior to more durable forms.

    Love that although I wish her hair was longer and then it would be perfect.

    Well, to me, Storm's ability to psionically manipulate her environment and her empathic connection to the world are two different powers.

    I see them as a telepathic/telekinetic psionic combo, intrinsically linked. Its through her connection with the environment that she is able to manipulate it.
    Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!

    Now more than ever we need to start fancasting for Ororo. I still stand behind Naomie Harris.
