She did mean it literally. Now that I've read Shuri #9, I don't know if I would say that Storm has a god mode, per se. What seemed to have happened is that the fungus in the mine tapped into her godhood and wrenched control from her--meaning she was using her god powers but without her normal tempered control. Shuri had warned her that people go insane when in contact with the fungus. She gave Ororo a pill to counterattack the effect but it took longer to kick in because she's a mutant.

omg I read your message completely wrong lol. no she should keep her moniker storm. hadari yao is just one of the many names that capture the uniqueness of her character.
so you are saying that in this instance the fungus was in control of her mind? it seemed as if her godhead was a completely different personality. I see what you're saying but it still doesnt all quite make sense to me. unless you are suggesting she was "drunk" or "under the influence" making her completely unaware?

Honestly, I can't say for certain. In an earlier issue, in the other scan I posted when she said she was a goddess, she was in complete control. In these scans, with the fungus, she isn't. We don't know exactly what Shuri meant when she said people went insane when exposed to the fungus. I think this is what it meant for Storm to be affected by the fungus. It drew out her godhead but not in a way that was sane, so it appears as if she has a second personality when, in reality, it's her acting in a way she wouldn't normally when she is in control of her mind and powers.
I don't like the title. It's a corruption of an Arabic word Hadhari, meaning "submission, surrender, obedience, acknowledgement, approval, and the acceptance of Allah." combined with the proper noun referring to the Bantu people and language of the east African Lake Nyasa, which in their own language means "treeless hill". Neither seem old enough to be 'Wakandan', it doesn't sound good in the ear, or feel good on the tongue, and Coates hasn't really even delved into what 'being a goddess' actually means in terms of power, or in terms of relating to other 'gods', or how Ororo really even feels about it all.
Ororo has always been a goddess, since day one with Cockrum and Wein. She'll always be my goddess. But I won't call her that.

Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!
I will never call her that.
My abject disregard of anything and everything written by Coates won't allow me.

do you guys agree? personally I didnt fancy the punk look:

The X-Men have greatly expanded the Marvel universe, adding hundreds of loveable heroes and intimidating villains. Storm is one of the best heroes on the team, often taking a leading role and mentoring younger mutants along the way. Her classic white hair and flowing cape have been apart of her character.
In the 1980s, Storm took a dramatic change in style. Dressing in a lot more leather and sporting a stylish white mohawk, Storm took on a punk rock look that ultimately was much more hilarious than originally intended. Even though the new design didn't look terrible, it just was not the right fit for the character and was a funny dramatic change to one of the most popular mutants.
