Ororo Munroe: Storm Appreciation 2020

[LordAllMIghty]

Don't forget about Frenzy, a drastically underused character. With her choosing to remember her life in the AoX storyline really changed my opinion of her. Before I was totally indifferent to her, passing her off as a one-dimensional villain. It was a mistake not seeing her reaction to Cyke's death. Bendis should have used her.

Agreed, Frenzy should be used more.

Particularly worth mentioning is the rarely mentioned Twilight, who was a black woman that was a member of the X-Men, but in the future on an alternate Earth.

That's Krystal. She had Iceman like powers but with minerals/crystal. Very powerful but so underused in the series.

Also, Twilight, from X-Nation:

what happened to her waist?

The 1990s happened, in the 2090s. lol

Also, Twilight, from X-Nation:

I actually liked her. She generated a small sphere that allowed her to manipulate reality within it.

WOW....I didn't know we had A LOT of Black Females in Marvel....Interesting.

[Electricmastro]

Storm, Monica Rambeau, and Misty Knight as they appeared in Captain America: Sam Wilson #10 (August, 2016).

[Dipter]

55. Gorilla Girl

Which genius at Marvel thought it was a good idea to create a black character who's power is to turn into a gorilla?

[Havok83]

Alot seem to either be alternate universe and/or used a handful of times, so you wouldnt necesarily know them

They killed her off anyway

OH ok. Yeah, that makes sense. I had no idea. Thanks for the information.

Storm, Monica Rambeau, and Misty Knight as they appeared in Captain America: Sam Wilson #10 (August, 2016).

HAHAHA When I 1st saw this picture I had a Joke in my head for this.

[Paleo_Rage]

Ok now some of y'all know good and well what people mean by Black. Lets not even be on this splitting hair stuff. It is not a diss to not list a South Asian character as a Black. Of course there are intermarriages between Black and Indian seen especially on the eastern horn of Africa. But Timeslip and Trinary are not part of those populations. They are POC just not Black. We all know there is not enough racialized nuance in comic book character creation so lets keep it cute.

[Paleo_Rage]

I actually liked her. She generated a small sphere that allowed her to manipulate reality within it.

She was dope and I liked her Ambrose Chase like power.. She was the one who was giving it to Exodus when they fought for a bit. Kyrs was also dope. I always wondered if Emma's Diamond form would lead to her doing what Kyrs did with her powers.

[Sylarmax]

memorize the list well .. but I think there are two that should not be black sewn.

M is biracial.

And Trinary I am almost completely sure that it is indú ethnicity???? And although many indu are of dark skin tone they are not black they are of Caucasian ethnicity.
if so, they can skip trinary.

I don't sure . But Trinary looks like would a indú girl

[Sylarmax]

So, this is including women from India as black women? It certainly is debatable, but an uncommon point of view.

women coming from india, they are of Caucasian ethnicity, that is not debatable.

Including them on a list of Afro-descendant women is an epic mistake.
