I think what the OP is going for here is "MADE" in the sense that Storm was introduced in an African village in GIANT SIZE X-MEN #1/ X-MEN #94 in 1975. It wouldn't be until X-MEN #102 in 1976 that David Munroe as her American father was introduced as a concept. Prior to that there was no reason the reader would assume that she wasn't native to the village where Xavier encountered her in GSX1. Claremont CHOSE to write that backstory at that point therefore MADE Storm Americanized character rather than have her fully rooted in the African continent. Yes?
And I have never read anything about the rationale behind it. Its odd since one of the imperatives of the ALL-NEW ALL-DIFFERENT team was to make the team more globally diverse.

Half of Marvel's Fandom underestimates Storm's power, I really don't know why, l, I'd like to know, but I understand, Storm didn't start out as Magneto, Thor, Iron Man, and other characters, who from an early age showed great powers. , and yet but with the Fox movies, a lot of people think that Storm's power is that, rain, lightning and gale, which makes me even more frustrated. Storm lacks the good old encouragement from the writers.
One of the little things that annoys me is the fact that there are always moments, in the comics or writers, that talk about the enormous potential of Storm's powers, but how much does it cost them to show that in the comics?
I understand what you mean, I just used Ororo as an example, of why hyperbole is a little bad, but although it would be nice if it came back, as well as other elements that used in the old comics, which you see little nowadays .
In Jennifer Hudson's voice I sing
"It's been a long long long looooong loooooooooong
Tiiiiiiimmmmmmmmeeeeee coooominging..iiiing...iiing...iing
A change is going to come
Oh yes it will."
Lol but in all seriousness I hope this is not just like the reign of x poster where she was just yaaass queening it all over town, we need to see her cut loose and finally get to the plot about her divinity and her ancestors. Also the mowhawk seems like we would never escape that.
I hope she is still regent in her destiny that is the position in krakoa that is big enough for her.

Lol don't wait any longer, Leah's writing sucks, it was only good on issue #1..On that little confrontation and the assertion of something we already knew, Storm >> Magneto
The Goddess is coming! I'm sending good energy for the next year, the plot of the Regent of Arakko and the Goddess begins to move.
not great quality but here you go dirtynun:
ALL HAIL THE HADARI YAO, THE OMEGA'S OMEGA, BEYOND OMEGA, THE VOICE OF SOL!!!! NOW AGAIN THE ONE TRUE AND ONLY GODDESS OF THE X-MEN AS CLAREMONT INTENDED!!!!!
Absolutely agreed.
As a literary device it was certainly used more frequently by the "old-school" more literary writers like Claremont, Lee etc to great effect. Unfortunately, I would say since the onset of the 90's contemporary writers with their more direct prose are far less inclined to use it at all. That kind of storytelling is a rarity in 2021 comics.

Thanks! The best part about it though is that I know I'm just scratching the surface with her abilities. I can imagine what people who are more knowledgeable than me could come up with if they put their mind to it.
Now you know we're all civil in here! Respect is given when respect is received.

So the ratonal part of me thinks Russell, as a Storm fan, is as shook as the rest of us with this image. However, the hype part of me sees that eye emoji and jumps to **OMG IS HE GOING TO BE THE ARTIST FOR A STORM BOOK!?!?!?!?! Instantly recalls how he said Storm and Jean were his favorites**

With my still burgeoning knowledge in planetary science, she could generate pressures with no upper limit crushing mountains and even coalescing atmospheric carbon into diamond.
