Is Storm even going to be in the MCU?
So, we got confirmation that Monica's MCU visual is her own Spectrum thing and not a borrowed visual of glowing blue eyes from another character.
I asked in the Storm thread (where the blue eyes issue has been an ongoing discussion)whether Monica and Ororo have ever co-starred where both characters have their powers. Besides the original SECRET WARS, I don't recall any crossover. The potential meta-commentary about empowered women of color being allowed to co-exist is not that much of a reach.
I just found this comic book kickstarter from the peri-pandemic period that would co-star Monica, Storm, and other women of Marvel. it would be neat if it, and our ladies, got some support. They can all be marvelous, we don't have to choose one over the other.

I agree about not pitting one black heroine against another. It's pointless.
So Monica may be in the Nick Fury Secret Invasion show
It would be different if they gave Storm a more prominent role instead of Mystique, who turned out to be the most important heroine and leader of the X-Men in the movies. I wonder if he meant not having the X-Men just be a school with teachers, and more of a superhero team that goes on adventures. I'm sure there'll be like 3 teams.
I figured they'd go with the scaled back version of Monica's powers from the one-shot for TV. Captain Marvel and Scarlet Witch will get to be massively powerful, either on the same level or greater than their comic book versions. Monica, on the other hand, will get reduced in power, or they'll introduce some other limiting plot device. Marvel.
