Ororo Munroe: Storm Appreciation 2019

[jwatson]

see this is exactly my point. if kitty was aware how inflammatory that word was and would have thought twice about using it if storm or another black mutant was there then it shows she knew exactly what she was doing when she did what she did.


and your last point about her being able mask her blackness whereas black folk can hide their color, in the case of Kate, is another reason why she was just completely out of line with her response.

A child can know something is bad and not to do it in front of adults they know but it doesn't mean they truly understand the real meaning behind it other than it can hurt people.

I've been here in CBR long enough to recognise...
When you all (general term) use the "real world" comparisons to justify whatever point is being made...see any HoX/PoX discussion.
And
When you all (again, generally speaking) hold fast and true to the Civil Rights/Minority analogy.
So...
Do carry on.

Because Ororo is actually royal by birth and marriage. Emma is aristocratic old money, but she's not royal. Even her title as White Queen was more pretension than fact(even if she was still very powerful in that position, it is not real royalty). Ororo is an actual goddess-queen, and is as good as that implies. Emma is jealous of her.

hey boo!!! you been Mia again!!! what did you think of the issue todsy?

and also that seems to be the consensus that she is jealous. it's so funny because ororo could care less about those things. but as I asked others do you think racism plays a part in it in anyway?

true but in kittys case who by the way let's not forget she was a genius as a kid knew that those words would trigger some negative response from.that guy. she wasnt naive to what she was doing.

[yogaflame]

have you guys ever attempted a list of the periodic table elements storm should be able to control?

Given her ability to manipulate electrons directly, she should be able to control all of them through electromagnetism, which is a fundamental force. She should even be able to transmute elements. Alchemists often speak of turning mercury into gold by supplying electricity, modulating the ionisation energies sufficiently to shift(they are next to each other on the periodic table). In this way, Storm should be able to take hydrogen ions and shift it all the way up to anything else, and probably even take denser elements and 'sublimate' them back down the table towards lighter elements. This would truly make her 'mistress of the elements' and could tie into her magical maternal roots, and/or her godhead/goddess nature.

I feel like I should say something as this was written like 30 years ago...but atleast...let the **** storm fly. Lol

Yes, 30 years ago, true, but writers knew it wasn't right even then. That's the eighties, not the 1700s.

My dad was born in Jamaica and moved to the states as an adult. Met and married my mom who moved from SC to CT and then after he bought our house sent for his first 3 kids from his first marriage. Unfortunately my oldest brother got sent back to Jamaica for breaking the law but my two sisters are still here. He says his mom had 20 kids and died when he was in 2nd grade, his father died when he was 6 and he had to get a job at 7 to help support his family.

Jamericans rule! lol. But now i really know not to get into it with you. lol

I don't think so, because Emma was also jealous of Jean too. I think she doesn't like powerfull nd successful women, but not a racist. The way she dealt with Scarlet Witch tho

Wouldnt she need to control strong nuclear forces to trasmute elements? Neutrons and protons are not held together by em fields but by another fundamental force

I love all of this. you said the same thing about her being able to control the elements by way of the electrons.
