Colossus it nearly stuck.
Storm is... her own little bag of weird. Allegations of racism, moving her back and forth between the X-Men, the Avengers, and Black Panther solos. She's her own bag of weird. But she's never been written as anything other than a loyal X-character, a leader of the team (arguments allowed), and her portrayals with the X-Men have never been less than consistent at the very least. She's had a crisis of character with leadership and what not for a time, but nothing compared to the pit of nightmares Scott and Emma have been thrown into.
