Ororo Munroe: Storm Appreciation 2020

Do your research like I have.

I'll wait.....because I can guarantee he hasn't.

I dont like thor enough to look him up like that. I will just take your word.


that said, I'm not sure how anyone can argue hes more powerful considering he has done those basic uses of her powers.

interesting point. take his powers with the mother storm (via his hammer) away. doesnt he still have the ability to control the weather? wouldnt this mean he has a deeper connection to the weather?

Truthfully, I really can't think of one impressive weather feat Thor has without holding Mjolnir/Mother of Thunder enhancing his powers.

HAHAH That's funny I can't either. Know why? Because he has none.

It's like my comic book history on Thor is a lie. LOL

ANYWAY, I think we've talked enough about this.

What's NEXT? Any Storm NEWS???? Hey Kyss where's Storm Solo?....I'm waiting.

The O5 were early 20s by the end of the original 60s run. Havok graduated college in his first appearance (making him 20/21). Bobby was the same age as him and the rest were older

Havok being about 22 in his first appearance and Scott being several years older than him even then really has to swept under the carpet if they are all still under 30. Iceman was still a sophomore in college in Uncanny 145(vs. Doom and Arcade arc), and he wasn't old enough to drink in the Classic X-Men backup story to Giant Size #1, which would make him what, under 19 then? Even though he was explicitly 16 in X-Men #1 1963. It's a mess really.

[Oheao]

Len Wein only wrote her for one issue, so his(and Dave Cockrum's) ideas for her(as a timeless youthful goddess from Kenya) were quickly thrown out of the window by Claremont, who did age her at 24(and an American birth/father) fairly early on.

But even in Len Wein's issue Charles says she's not a goddess.

Those would be retcons then as al I reported was how things originally were. What you say makes more sense as time flowed faster in the O5 days but they since slowed it down to give the characters more longevity

But reading Len work and comparing everything that has happened with Storm and how her story plays out, she literally in that issue was Apocalypse, Namor,Selen ,HigheEvolutionary ..ect a Goddess.
The line where he state her eyes older than time always haunts me. And as a narrator he calls her a goddess all the way through, but has the foolish mortal mistake her for just a Mutant.

That's because this is you.

Y'Know......i'm not even mad at that.

Thank You. I'll take that Title. And Where it with PRIDE.

we probably wont getting any news on her solo until around the time her giant size book drops or shortly thereafter.

But even in Len Wein's issue Charles says she's not a goddess.

Charles says that, but was it true? Can you be a mutant and also a goddess? The narration boxes call her goddess. Notice earlier Len says her eyes are 'older than time'. I've been searching, and I still can't find it, but I am certain there is an interview with either Len or Dave that says they wanted her to be an ancient, but eternally youthful, goddess from Kenya. Chris came in later and made her an American born, Cairo-orphaned street-thief-turned rain 'goddess', but that wasn't their original idea(after combining Black Cat/Quetzal/Trio and Typhoon/Tempest(which was Roy Thomas, Wolverine's creator's, idea)).

This is the closest I can find, but I am certain there is more somewhere out there. In the old school Exiles run, they sort of reference this by bringing in a teenager goddess Storm at one point.
