Not to forget that part of the classic arsenal of super hero comic writing is that when you want to expand a characters powers you either go into the metaphysical (which laws of physic need to be manipulated or bend to create these powers) or metaphorical (what is associated with these kinds of powers) aspects of them.
Look no further than Spiderman's universal wall crawling ability.
And in Storm's case of manipulating space wind, writers are able to come from either direction and it still makes sense within the context of a super hero comic.
Metaphorical "It's just another form of wind."
Metaphysical "The powers she controlls to manipulate weather on Earth also exist in space, therefor she can controll solar winds or lightnings there too."
For White to say that her affecting solar winds makes no sense, can make one think that he is not only ignorant of her history and the work of the people who shaped it, but that he is also oblivious to one of the basic tools of super hero comic writing which has existed since the dawn of the genre.
Especialy since the whole genre is a mixture of science-fiction and fantasy. Both works being based on the idea of presenting things that can make no sense in the real world, but just need to make sense in the context of their stories and their fictional worlds.
Personaly i find Storm manipulating solar winds and other "space weather" to be too overpowered and to a degree too contrived, but it has been established for ages and makes sense in context of this fictional universe. So at worst i feel it's something to roll my eyes over, but dismissing it as making no sense, when it's established, explained and expanded over numerous comics sounds like a dumb argument to me.

The Xmen have long moved past any of their powers making sense. Magneto is creating wormholes, Jean is telekinetically cutting away old timelines/universes, Exodus is crafting brains from scratch, Iceman is creating sentient ice golems etc etc. The horse has left the barn.

Ommadon: “By summoning all the dark powers I will infest the spirit of man So that he uses his science and logic to destroy himself. Greed and avarice shall prevail, and those who do not hear my words shall pay the price. I'll teach man to use his machines, I'll show him what distorted science can give birth to. I'll teach him to fly like a fairy, and I'll give him the ultimate answer to all his science can ask. And the world will be free for my magic again.”
I am not going to bother to answer that. Because if I do, I will just be blamed for being racist.
You've gotta admit that one thing happened as per her wish in the Council. She was sent to save the planet ecosystem and that wasn't done in the X-Men comics either. Yes, she had Thor's help for the planetary feat but still, she made the decision and she followed it.
Honestly, I think that most of the people here are frustrated since we haven't seen much from Storm for the past 2 months. I totally get that I am frustrated myself, but Ewing did say that he is writing a really powerful Storm and I honestly believe him. Let's not judge him before his books come out. He might even surprise us with something enormous.
Scariest Storm ever ……. but I’m excited
