We are the Dora Milaje. We are the daughters of the 18 tribes of Wakanda. We are the teeth of the Panther God. Out of 10,000 years of sweat and bloodshed and battle are we born. We are the women of this ancient land. Deadliest of the species. And our time has come!
ALL HAIL THE HADARI YAO, THE OMEGA'S OMEGA, BEYOND OMEGA, THE VOICE OF SOL!!!! NOW AGAIN THE ONE TRUE AND ONLY GODDESS OF THE X-MEN AS CLAREMONT INTENDED!!!!!
When was that modern instance, I’m blanking on that suit having a resurgence...
They all went white with a black cape for the Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends cartoon. Having a spot of gold in her tiara added a nice balance.
Storm-Phoenix from WHAT IF...? #79 Is prob my favorite try at an all white costume for our Goddess...

I knew they would have her strike first against Jean. Because she's so in love with Mystique in this universe. Ugh. The sooner the MCU restarts the character the better. I hate how they always release these Fox-Men movies around my bday. I will not be seeing this in theaters.
As for Bianchi's costume, that first character sketch was over-designed, and I hate the stripes and double boots, but there is something about the overall design that I love and Bianchi nailed it in this cover, for example, which is one of my all time favorite Storm images.
And beyond the costume itself, Bianchi just clearly loves Ororo as a physical presence.
That said, it was a bit over done initially and I loved Jimenez's toned down version too. Cockrum's original and these two modern variations really hone in on her as a gorgeous African goddess, which I love and I don't like when that core aspect of the character is lost in many other adaptations. It can be a little cheesecake and a little exoticizing when not done well, but when done well, we get a self-possessed African woman exuding power and grace, very much in the vein of the ancient fertility/nature goddess archetype she has always been cast in.

Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!
I just read that article about Hickman, and how they are cancelling everything and starting over. I don't know how much of a reboot we are talking, but honestly, the franchise has been garbage since Quesada threw them under the bus with No More Mutants. I don't know what exactly Hickman has in mind for changes, and how the franchise will move forward afterwards, but this could be the third great restart the franchise has been waiting for. Len/Dave/Chris changed the game with Giant Sized, and that made the franchise bloom to it's greatest heights. Morrison came later and gave the franchise another big shakeup, whose influence is still felt strongly in the modern books(of course with diminishing returns as it was in Claremont's wake in the later 90's). Here's hoping Storm gets a prominent spot in the new era, but I guess we'll see how it all shakes out.

As one of my favourites, I love Storm, dearly. But I also love the X-Men in general and over all.
So...
Whether or not Storm has a prominent role I am here for HiX-Man's Reboot/Relaunch/Whatever goodness!!!
