Exactly! Erik has always had respect for storm they talk on even terms always. He even regards her a goddess. Also as we all know he can't handle a lightning bolt unfiltered that's why she was able to take him down when he became an xman with a lightning bolt from the sky directly.
Side note: alot of people really sleep on the power of a storm, they seem to think it's just wind rain lightning and thunder when as per magneto in the first scan there is soo much more. There are magnetic fields, pressure differentials, kinetic, potential, chemical, electrical, radiant energy, thermal..... They are natural powerful particle accelerators and hold devastating power. An average hurricane has a lot of power and energy , more power than 10,000 nuclear bombs so magneto blocking a nuclear blast is cute but against category 3 hurricane it's a joke. Not to talk of a 4 or 5 or even higher since storm is omega and has no limits. Weather as I have come to understand it universally is basically a system of energy and matter interacting together, when there is a disturbance in said interaction there is a storm. People gotta start reading the comics well before trying to sleep on or low ball storm.
Now that I think about it what was dark pheonix greatest feat, because if I recall her single most devastating show of power was absorbing the power of an entire star causing it to go nova destroying it's planets. Storm has beaten that comfortably in feats with the galactic core alone where she demonstrated the power to summon the total energy of million of stars, planets... Etc. The entire galactic core and she did all that with her inherent mutation and without blowing up the Galaxy. So I wouldn't say dark pheonix was way more powerful.... But white pheonix of the crown is what I would say is waaayy more powerful as she held a galaxy or universe in her palms fixing it.
