I think a case can be made that she is above race. Of course that would also mean that T’Challa in now above race as well after his billion dollar movie. Above race love! Above race everything! Imagine my delight at this news. When it inevitably comes to an end I’ll be content with Ororo appearing regularly in Marauders. She really doesn’t need to appear anywhere else if it’s going to step on the huge plans the X-office has for her.

I agree. So far Storm is highly underutilized in the Council. She's actually been a head of state before. She's actually made deals(without her powers) with the UN Security Council. She has been cultivating relationships with humans all her life beyond the X-Men. It really is a shame the writers don't use her more.

Don't let anyone else hold the candle that lights the way to your future because only you can sustain the flame.

The very nature of her powers defies the idea of borders, of nationalism. She has always done well as a bridge between old and new, mutant and human, wind and rain, earth and air. She's such a potent character; I don't understand how these writers can't be chomping at the bit to write stories with her. I hope they come up with something interesting soon...

Yeah, this frustrates me as well. She’s the most qualified to rule and/or negotiate with foreign governments. Why is she just hanging out on a fucking boat and being hostile in council meetings? As much I’m enjoying the relaunch and have enjoyed some specific moments with our girl, she’s being squandered yet again.
To be fair, thats primarily a Wolverine thing. Rogue and Kitty pretty much stopped being used in the X-books when they were moved over to Uncanny Avengers and Guardians, respectively. Ditto for Sunspot and Cannonball in Hickman's Avengers, Cable in Uncanny Avengers and Beast in Secret Avengers. I think Storm was actually used more than they were when she was in BP

I love the discussions here but I have to say I'm not thaf disappointed about her influence overall. Definitly politically she's not doing or didn't do a lot compared to Xaveir, Magneto and I guess Emma if you count manipultion but I have to stress that I like her out in the world directly getting things done. She's getting mutants safely to Krakoa, we know she went ham on the Orchis bases, she brought up the rule to only owning land outside of Krakoa as a council memeber, and shes distributing harddrives around the world retaining info for getting to Krakoa and contacting mutants. Then really on top of that shes helping BP take down a corrupt Wakandan nation. Comparatively other council members and Cyclops aren't doing as much, and even though shes not as big as a figurehead as Xavier and Magneto again they're mostly confined in Krakoa doing very little while she at least was/is welcoming ressurected mutants, sure she partied a little and is on a boat but the Summers family was chilling on the moon when Storm was getting shit done not to mention the dozens other main X-Men not doing much, and it at least looks like in #4 well see her bring the action on her own.
Shes definitely still not being used to her full potwntial but I don't agree that shes being thwarted. Just my two scents while I wait for the Marauders preview.
