Ororo Munroe: Storm/Hadari Yao Appreciation 2021

[dirtynun]

I remember laughing at the speech she gave before their first fight with her saying Korra could use the Avatar state in their duel! Homegirl was feeling herself but I was like you need to take several seats lol! You ain't no Avatar level threat! She's lucky Korra had a panic attack right after she activated her Avatar state to wreck Kuvira cause otherwise she was literally about to get crushed by that boulder.

Yh we all know if it wasn't for that panic attack Korra would have killed kuvira. As Korra ain't no aang when it comes to ending someone.

It is true that Korra was still recovering from the poisoning and all that. Korra probably loves fighting more than Ororo does, but Ororo has that wild, bezerker quality [that she actively tries to suppress] in her that pushes her further. Ororo will cut you, will kill you, when pressed. Korra is more innocent in this regard; although Storm treasures peace, she is very good at making war!

I was reading an old thread from like 2018 with Storm vs Korra (I have no life when I'm not at work, moving on...) and people really underestimate Storm's H2H skills. The way they talk she could hardly hold her own against even the usual fodder of the Avatar-verse, never mind people like Korra or Aang.

I think it really depends on the version of Storm they go with. Korra has chance with the a couple of the Storms (i.e. maybe WatX or movie verse), but any other she should lose. 616 Storm is an epic stomp. For 616 I think H2H would be close since Korra is a highly skilled fighter and pretty strong and durable.

That's the thing though: they don't choose a specific version of the character. They take into account every feat they've performed across all media. The fight should be extremely biased when you weigh 50 years worth of accomplishments against 4 season of a tv show, but maybe they'll throw a curveball in Korra's favor.

Yh the strongest hand to hand fighters in the avatar universe too 10 aang is not part he used airbending to evade shit all the time. Korra on the other hand had raw strength and skill and was very direct. But storm is kinda better than her in hand to hand combat obviously not as good as Tylee or even azula but definitely better than Korra. Korra's only advantage over her is raw strength but we all know our goddess just needs a good knife to fell a foe.

Also side note. On twitter there are people that are saying Korra would beat storm. And all I can say is that this is what you get when you don't develop Storm's abilities beyond lightning bolts and giving her knife fights every month instead of letting her be omega. They were even making jokes that storm's knifes won't save her as Korra had metal bending and could easily counter her knife mutation.

[dirtynun]

I would say Korra is very very good at making war and an absolute mess of things. Like that is the reason some people hate her. And I am very sure Korra has killed someone before maybe not on screen but definitely. That show was very hard like people were offing people offing themselves and shit. It wasn't that kiddie show last Airbender lol.

Look ya'll better put some respect on Kuvira's name...

Looks like Storm could potentially lose in SWORD…..

Here is the solicit for “Secret X-Men #1” coming in February:
“When the Shi'ar Empire faces an unexpected threat, they must call upon the X-Men. Team co-captains Sunspot and Cannonball will lead Marrow, Tempo, Forge, Banshee, Strong Guy, Armor, and Boom-Boom on a dangerous mission to save a figure of paramount importance—the daughter of Professor X and empress of the Shi'ar: Xandra!”

Yh beating someone suffering from PTSD ain't something to be respected for like sis was almost killed if it weren't for that panic attack. She was hitting Korra left right front center when Korra hit her just twice she was struggling to get up.

Hmmm oh well

Uh...ok. I'm just showing off Kuvira's skill.

I wasn't even thinking about all that other stuff. Yes, Korra was having issues but that was her fault for getting into a fight and not being mentally stable to fight.

How did you extrapolate "Storm could potentially lose..." from a solicit that doesn't even mention Storm,, for a one-shot issue releasing four months from now?

Same question I have. Hell it doesn't even mention ANYONE on S.W.O.R.D. team....

A better show of Skill would be when she fought those bandits, the fight with suyin or the last battle with Korra though Korra still beat her she did manage a few nice hits.

Nah, people on Reddit are also wondering the same. Just said it’s a possibility, unless Xandra is facing an entirely new threat, which is also possible but kind of redundant if that’s the case. Would be the hundredth time she needs saving. I’m not advocating for Storm to lose lol… In fact I hope she doesn’t
