Those scans you posted where Ororo could not control "unnatural" weather were PIS, though. Storm has always been able to control the elements in artificial environments even from the start. For an exact instance of this, read the X-Treme issue where Khan took her back to his interdimensional fortress to mend her broken body. Even while unconscious, she was able to control the artificial environment in his base to the amazement of everyone present. On top of this, there was an annual where Margali created a mystical representation of Dante's Hell. Everything about that place was mystical and Storm was able to control the elements there. Also, when Shaman used a weather spell against the X-Men, Ororo doubled the power of his elemental creation and turned it back upon him. There was nothing he could do to stop her either.
That said, I agree with you completely about her tapping into a new power in this story. She tapped into her inner "goddess" through the belief of those who put their faith in her.
i was talking to a a dear friend of these parts from a while ago and he mentioned some similar things. maybe the term that needs to be emphasized is that the storms were derived from a divine power, hence making unnatural. being able to stop this power would then take an equally or stronger godly power
I think the only other time i can remember Storm doing something similar is in Uncanny X-men 386. The storm was completely natural though but they were in the ocean and the winds were battering the boat and she couldn't stop it then she shouted out and instantly the entire storm went dead silent and the tides stopped. I'll try to post scans.

Lmao you a damn trip!
Rake It up is that work!
Rutog I love you popped into my mind specifically while reading BP #17. I feel all your theorizing hasn't been in vain. Coates is low-key on your same wavelength. Would it be safe to say you two view her in the same light? I know after this issue I'm totally down for whatever direction her has Storm running in.
What's the issue number? The girl mentions Storm being hurt. What happened? Why's she so exhausted?
In not-so-different news, I think it's cute that the usual suspects that poke fun at us for prescibing ungodly feats to Storm, they're silent. *crickets* They haven't touched this thread since, and if they have, its only been to lurk. Boom, Bitch! The only question that remains is, can Storm make it rain on the sun? My answer: "Let's go ask, Coates. And after we ask him, you and your merry band of trolls can go drink a tall glass of shut the fuck up!" *all the while I'm directing them to Black Panther #17*
Let's just hope Guggenheim doesn't mess this up(which he will some way)
Question... Has Ororo ever had to fight Zeus for any reason?
The ONLY Gods or Beings that Storm has opposed (TO MY KNOWLEDGE)are: Bast The Panther God, Death( Wakanda's Version of Death), Eternity, Loki, Hela, Thor, Phoenix Force. (Oh! Her and the Extinction Team X-Men together met a Celestial)
That's all I can think of....anyone else know????

I think it is safe to say that Coates and I do share some similar views on Ororo's power. She has been able to control unnatural/magically created weather since Claremont's first run. The most blatant example of this, again, is when Margali used her magic to create a version of Hell. When the weather there turned against Ororo, Storm was able to steal control of it.
The theory I have maintained is that I believe Ororo can POTENTIALLY tap into every dimension across the omniverse at her full potential. The reason I say this is because her power is to perceive the universe as patterns of energy and forces she can bend to her will and that power is limited only by the strength of her will and body. We have seen her use this power to connect with an entire reality and wield the forces of that reality to such a degree that she defeated the sum of all matter, life, and energy of that dimension's past/present/future in the Trion arc. On top of all of this, she has the strength of will to hold the essence of Eternity, who is the sum of all matter and energy in the omniverse. In other words, the only thing limiting her power is her body as her willpower has no upper limits as she was able to house the sum of the omniverse here due to her willpower. If she works earnestly towards her full potential, she will transcend her humanity as shown in the Roguestorm story arc, the 12 saga, and as stated once again in X-Treme X-Men meaning there will be nothing to restrict her powers. So, putting all of this together with the Eternity thing and the fact that she can already unify with an entire reality at this stage in her evolution (again, the Trion arc) is why I believe that Storm can potentially be an omniversal powerhouse.
Basically, I think Coates took a step towards my theory with this story. She was literally able to reach across dimensions to control the forces of a reality she was not present in. This has not happened before. She has always needed to be present in a dimension to be able to control its forces. In this case, the forces were both unnatural AND of another dimension and she was able to shut it down from her own home dimension. I believe she can potential reach across every dimenion/reality at once and control the forces present because she will potentially have no limits and her willpower is already strong enough to hold the sum of the omniverse...plus her powerset is to perceive everything as patterns of energy she can bend to her will.
Ah, okay, I don't have much time to type now and this is kind of wordy. If its not clear what I am trying to say, let me know and I will try and clarify a little later.
