It boils down to the xoffices not giving a sh!t. It's clear that Coates actually cares about this character so why aren't elements of his writing not included or referenced in the xbooks. That was one of the reasons I had issue with Jean talking with tchalla like she had a relationship with him to do so. How is it that Jean who has never had any interaction with him is shown in the xbooks talking with him yet ororo who is dating him in Coates book has yet to even utter his name? It's complete and utter bs.

That's because the books have different aims. Over in the X-books, they are trying to prop up Jean Grey and Kitty Pryde. Neither woman can compete with a well-written Storm. Why else do you think Storm has been demoted from Lightning Lass to Sleepyhead? Over in BP's book, the writer isn't caring about Kitty or Jean as they have nothing to do with his book or the office that handles the BP title. How can Kitty or Jean steal the show when you have a well-written Ororo in the X-books? The answer is: They can't!
On that note, I have having a debate with another poster in the "Who should lead the Mutant Nation" thread. The post I gave in response to her got me thinking about something. Anyway, here is my response to her:
What I was thinking about is Storm and Wonder Woman. Diana is 1000s of years old, from what I have seen posted on the boards. She comes from a mythical island of women warriors, and she is closely connected to the ancient Greek gods. Rick Rioridan did his Percy Jackson series which is also based in mythology and the series has been wildly successful with readers. WW's stories incorporates a lot of mythology (along with other things). I think this has been a huge contributing factor to her successful popularity as a character. As you can see from what I wrote above, Storm potentially has those same kinds of ties as well to the mythical and mystical. On top of that, she has a unique powerset that completely blows Diana's powers off the map if utilized creatively...and especially if taken to their ultimate heights if Storm were to gain her full potential. Furthermore, Storm has other things that Diana doesn't have like her being an escape artist, thief, etc. On top of it, Storm is still has certain human frailties Diana doesn't have which adds an exciting risk if she were to go up against supremely powerful bad guys. Basically, Storm has everything needed to dwarf Diana with the readership if Marvel pushed her like DC pushed Diana. All of the ingredients are there and everything.
What do you guys think?

Well I think you are kinda proposing what I was hoping to see which was storm getting a small corner of the MU focused around the bright lady and the other gods/goddesses relation to this pantheon. It wouldn't be too different from WW, but I think with Coates exploring the idea of her being an actual goddess it would be cool to see her and her ties to the gods she worships fleshed out a lot more. As we know her blood links her to the first original people on earth and maybe that connection is what ultimately ties her into being a goddess.

Well, Jean just got here so.....of course the Focus would be on her, but i'm just saying it's not hard to give characters their due in a team book. It's Just these X-Writers are showing THEIR favorites.
Yeah, I can agree to that most definitely. But just you wait when Storm's book comes out she is going to be fantastic.

That's the thing I'm not saying she shouldn't have focus and interact with people that's totally fine. What is odd is Ororo has yet to interact with a man she is dating or even casually bring him up. It's not about Jean but Ororo and the xoffices poor attempt to create synergy with what Coates is doing in his books.

How could editorial not know? Coates managed to include her mohawk look and references to the terrigen mist in BP&C. How is he able to do things the x writers are not. I agree they are ignoring what he's doing but not because they don't know. It's because they just don't care.

I guess now would be a good time to ask if we can get the original name of this thread back?

GA: "She moves fast"..
F:"Compared to who?"

Well.....
Nope like she seriously brings nothing to this team that makes it essential for her to even be there.
I miss the days of Claremont and even Stan Lee where each team member and their associated attributes were highlighted in each issue and it was clear what they brought to the team. Those days are long gone.
