That would've been dope. I'm not always up for connecting Egypt and Wakanda but I'd love to hear about some failed invasions from Kush and Egypt during Apocalypse's time.



Wakanda is located in the upper Great Lakes Region (Uganda, Rwanda). So it's pretty far but archaeology shows us that there's been exchange between the people of this area and Kush/Egypt for millennia.

The source of the Nile and the Mountains of the Moon( the mythic place where Kemetic people said they originally came from, often identified with the Rwenzori Mountains of Uganda, just west of Lake Victoria) are all right there where Wakanda is supposed to be. The Nile is like their highway, so really, it's not that far.

X-Men Gold wasn't on the list at all, what list were you looking at??

Do you mean the Gold era from Uncanny X-Men 281?

the image from xmen prime is shown which Guggenheim used to relinquish her authority to kitty. pure and utter trash.

Nevermind... I was checking Marvel's Official Database and those statistics look so unreal for her and her accomplishments. Emma has her statistics much, much higher... like how? No those statistics are definitely unreal:

DURABILITY: 2
ENERGY: 5?
FIGHTING SKILLS: 4?
INTELLIGENCE: 2? For real...
SPEED: 3... how...?
STRENGTH: 3

From the above statistics I agree with Strength and Durability... but the rest... are they for real?

Even Iron Man has much higher statistics and he is using just a suit...

The discussion about Storm's stats gave me the idea to create this -

It's just my personal opinion on how I view Storm's abilities... and I also just wanted a reason to post one of my Storm drawings lol.

The images have nothing to do with the guide... you have literally just judged a book by it's cover.

But she is voiced by a Black Woman... Kimberly Brooks, you can hear it in her accent. She also voices Alura from Voltron Vlogs and in Voltron: Legendary Defender animation in 2016 as well and Melenor and Valayun.

oh it sounded like a very forced white washed african accent. I had a stank face while listening lol

what did you use to come up with your stats?

oh nice drawing by the way lol

[misty101]

well you provided the screenshot love and i answered your question based upon it

So you judged the whole guide without ever reading the guide just from a montage of her looks on the cover? OK...

how absurd of me to answer a question based upon the info you provided without any links and only an image.

Thanks!

As for how I came up with my stats, I pretty much used the stats from those old Marvel cards from the 90s, but updated them with my own personal view. Like for instance, they had Storm's mental powers stat at a 2, but I'm thinking someone who can pretty much control the weather/atmosphere on a planetary level deserves to be at least a 7 stat wise. Stats for mental power were strictly for telepaths and the like back in the day, but Storm's command over the elements most definitely takes mental control and nobody does it better as far as elementals go. Her strength and durability I put at a 2 because I feel as powerful as she is, she can take damage like a normal person. I know she's immune to lighting and and other elements, but I don't take that into account when gauging durability. Take for instance the Human Torch, he could probably fly into the sun because of his resistance to heat, but he could still be taken out by a bullet. My take on durability is more a physical thing than resistant level.

Again these are just my opinions though.

no thank you for sharing!!

and I appreciate your detail on how you came up with your stats. I think it's fair in terms of your rationale. how long ago did you create this btw?
