Ororo Munroe: Storm/Hadari Yao Appreciation 2021

[Micabe]

I'm seeing some trolling about Storm being a black woman where some are suggesting she isn't a black woman. Well news flash:

both her parents are black and she has been called as such many times in the comics:

Is that Emma Frost in frame #4? If so how does she NOT know what a Sentinel is?

Hmm... I wasn't aware that "Heroes Reborn" was actually canon continuity.

It is the heroes return issue but that’s besides my point, if the writers wanna get “creative“ with the powers/skills of the “big boys” I don’t see why they should stop when it comes to perfectly logical applications of Ororo’s powers.

no that is storm.

As a black man from Barbados I can tell you, people have told me I'm not black because I'm a bajan. Mental gymnastics is a curse ��

The worst people are the ones that mean this garbage as a form of compliment.

it's a reminder that some view blackness with a negative hue. people used to say storm was above race so I was very thankful that Coates gave her dialogue with meaningful discussion on the topic.

It is nonsensical. the only time that was ever implied was when ororo was reverted to a child and a doctor made the comment however a black police on the same page stated she looked like a black girl. her mutation which gives her her cat eyes and white hair gives her an outer worldly look but she is still black.

I thought this was independent of her mutation and based off her family line?

the white hair part, you are right, is a trait passed down from her ancestors which isn't necessarily a mutation. I think the cat eyes however is but I need to confirm.

But …..but.. this is just light stuff, there is no businesses writing her if the writer can’t grasp these simple concepts…….. I haven’t even mentioned her Omega Level Ergo-kinetic Vision.
The Hulk, Black Panther & co are pulling new powers out of their behind on a monthly basis to the point that they make hardly any sense but a basic understanding of Storm’s power is problematic?
We are talking about one of marvel’s top Players, she’s regent of sol not because of her awesome B side or to fill some generic diversity quota…… Ororo, Hadari Yao is the regent of sol because she represent power incarnate, reliable and stable power with divine ascendency, she is doing what only she could do, no one else can even compete.

Period.

I wish Claremont n nem had just went ALL THE WAY with Storms power progression, she is a GOD level being...let her BE THAT. Weather was said to be ONLY a piece of her abilities. I AM NOT and never have been nor will i ever be a fan of Storm being boxed into lightning and rain just because of the 'it'd be hard to write her' excuse. Well damn, give ME the pen and ill write it.

Storm needs to fully realize her full potential..its time. Period.

Storm is a mystical, god like being. EMBRACE IT.

I think Claremont would have and most certainly was on track to give us a fully realized storm. roguestorm was evidence of this however, with the soft reboot I think there was an editorial push to reel her back in with her abilities. we saw this with Claremont when she couldn't or didn't think to use solar winds when the xmen were using a ship to access asteroid m. then of course lobdell completely neefed her once he started to write her after Claremont left. it was the beginning of the end.

do you have the actual quote where it is said she is more than just weather? I've seen it mentioned numerous times but have bit seen the actual source.
