Thank you for the greetings.
Thank you for the greetings.
Didnt Storm also defeat Electro?
LOL....Magneto is more powerful and more skilled than Storm? Do you know what Electromagnetism is? Storm can do the same things that Magneto can do with his powers because they both share the same primary energy source.

Welcome. Fairly lively chat, especially since Hickman’s relaunch.
I don’t think they’ve fought on panel. She did fight and defeat another electrokinetic named Blitzkrieg.
I think it’s an interesting comparison. Overall power and skill I think they are fairly equal. Storm is skillful in manipulating EM energy but I do think Magneto is stronger in that specific category. He’s done more impressive applications of that element than anyone else who can also wield it.
well when you put it like that honey you make a great point. I would agree definitely she is both the sniper and bomb when it comes to the other elemental forces she has controlled but magneto at this point she demonstrated he is far more skilled than ororo. I would agree however based upon her abilities in other areas she should be as skilled as magneto if not more so.

Storm's powers definitely allow for magnetic field manipulation that would allow her to do anything that Magneto has done. It is more a matter of the writers desire to keep their power sets separate(whereas her power should subsume his entirely with extra stuff on the side), and moreso, a matter of, classically, Magneto being a team-level threat, and Storm just being a team member(if not leader). All of Claremont's classic battles between them spelled out in plain English she was more powerful than him, she was just holding back because she didn't want to kill him.
All thunderstorms[in real life] produce powerful, giant, magnetic fields. Storm has opened the magnetosphere of the earth to invite in solar radiation. She has used EM force to create lava channels and magnetic vortexes. She was able to erase a digital camera's memory card while not destroying the entire camera itself(a very good example of her 'sniper' capacity). She can go down to the electron level(which makes her a sub-atomic level manipulator) at the small scale, and galactic/dimensional at the grand scale. This is all in the canon.

Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!
As far as Storm's powers and abilities go, in all actuality she's top 15 if not top 10 of Earth based heroes. I think we canal agree with that.
The problem has always been consistency and when writers tend to give characters a feat and then no one ever follows up and it's never done again.
Storm has done some impressive things and then she has been written have problems with minor threats. Just too much inconsistency at times.
And I'm not sure that Storm should be out in the field on minor missions. With her power levels, she should only go up against threat levels that require the top guns(same as some of the other mutants).
You're referring to the old comic, right? Thank you for responding to my question.
Just because we've seen him do a lot more with Electromagnetism doesn't make him "stronger" than Storm. Regardless of how "skillful" Magneto is they both have electrokinetic abilities, they've both done impressive feats, and they both have direct control over the Earth EM Field and EM Spectrum. Hence, as a discipline (skill), neither does anything better than the other. Or is stronger than the other.
The fact that they are portrayed differently inside comic books is solely decided by the writers and most of them don't understand physics. Theoretically speaking, they both should be able to do the same thing. It is electromagnetism after all. But let's not forget why writers have to write Storm down. It's because she's too powerful.

Really they should just separate the teams more according to powerlevels, so that each book has characters in the same bracket, so to speak. Put Kitty and Wolverine and Cyclops together with Beast and Gambit or whatever. Put Iceman and Jean and Storm on a team with Magneto and Exodus or whatever. Let the street levelers fight ninjas and gun-toting humans, let the Omegas shape worlds and fight Heralds.

Thank you. I'm also on Comic vine too and I think I've seen you there.
I mistook him for someone else who was also an electrokinetic.
Like I told @Strom1977 The decisions are up to the writers and what they want from her. But just because we've seen him do a lot more with Electromagnetism doesn't make him "stronger" than Storm.

I LOVE THIS POST. You're DEFINITELY right on point And I totally agree. I only recall once where Strom created an electromagnetic field to attract some knives Calisto threw at her.

I was having a discussion with someone about her ability to manipulate the EM spectrum and basically have the capability to do everything Magneto can so it's good to get more incite, they where even saying it's a baseless assumption. Since I dont have enough personal knowledge on that area I was wondering if my thinking didn't completely connect until now, but then again they've also looked at all the evidence of her being a Goddess and at best thinks it has something to do with her mystical capabilities without being a true one.
And this whole conversation is why I ask which power of Storm's power is Omega.
If I remember correctly one power is what makes a mutant Omega. Saying Storm's Weather Manipulation is Omega is cool but there's a **** load of stuff that happens when creating storm.
Pluz, She shown that certain parts of her weather manipulation has limits.

Some of us wait, some of us act.
