Ororo Munroe: Storm/Hadari Yao/Regent of Sol Appreciation 2022

[Reigna]

Making Storm the Incarnate of Gaea would not be a good idea. Especially, since Gaea's Maternity is being called into Question by Thor about who his real Mother is. The Phoenix or Gaea. We DO NOT want Storm caught in that BS. Poor Boy don't know who his Mama is.......

Now, I can definitely get with you Storm being the Incarnation of Oshtur that makes more sense.

ugh yeah Gaea is kinda everywhere, osthur is more reserved and is severely underutilised making her tied to storm in a significant way will be a breath of fresh air (see what I did there... since she is the lady of the) but yeah osthur is very interesting and I hope we get more from her soon.

[Reigna]

I thought Gaea being his mom was retconned already... child I don't keep up with Thor's convoluted stories. One second he's depowered, the next he's got Galactus power cosmic then the Odin Force and now he's half Phoenix. The man should be a match for abstracts at this point...

The problem is that thor as a concept in marvel is now a bastardized concept. He gets new magical forms all the time his maternal lineage is all over the place, I have even seen thor fans try to reconcile the gaea and pheonix thing, by saying gaea is an aspect of the pheonix. It's a horrid mess cates wants the gear route and aaron wants the pheonix route God of the FIRESTORM! I mean yeah sure.

[Reigna]

LOL One minute your warping the Universe and blasting abstract entities. Next minute ya get ass kicked by Spider-Man.

He used galactus's power to beat the black winter a universe eating storm. After galactus himself said he couldn't do it yet he thor could? Yeah I smell plot bs.

Ridley just sucks at writing non-black Americans but I don’t think it’s intentional. Same as when Spurrier gave Storm that awkward dialogue when Nightcrawler visited her in Legion of X. Writers want to give her an edgier voice but sometimes they go too far and have her come off as pedestrian.

i thought that scene was a direct nod to the xtreme scene where everyone was like "Everyone wants storm" when she was in the wheel chair and everyone was laying claim. The legion of x scene that is.

How would we feel if Storm was resurrected as a Windrider(Magic Base) instead of her mutant power.
Maybe still using weather but the way her former ancestors did.

Or not using her Mutant powers as she formally did, but all forms like Mystical, cosmically.

Maybe not casting spells but manipulating it like she does the weather.

No thanks. I think Magik which i'm still reading is a clear sign on the cost of magic and i think as a wind rider storm did have some semblance of magical abilities over weather but thankfully her omega mutant power which was very similar allowed her another path forward to claim what was hers. unlike say a sorceress conjuring a breeze or using magic to prolong life, Storm was born with a way to balance even her innate magic and as such can reach levels some will never dream of as mutant or sorceress. He mutation i think is what made the final link possible for her ascenscion. She don't need to call on this one or that one or ritual this or that to get things done. I think if we ever saw her in otherworld it should be just next level given what we are seeing happens there now with witchbreed.

To expand a bit. Given the nature of her powers Storm not only would have strong magic but she would be able to charge up her own spells. Making her extremely dangerous even against the most high level opponents. And when she needs to go up against someone like adversary she doesn't have to call out for such and such for her "magic" to change, her goddess aspect changes the properties of her base mutant magic but that is still used as a source to power her now "divine magic".

Nope. Hate that idea. With every fiber of my being and love of/for Storm.

I believe that Claremont was actually veering into that direction, making her attune to her magical side after she had lost her powers...which would have been interesting back then as it would have been a natural development but not now that the current writers have already and recently expanded her Weather/Energy manipulation range so greatly.

This is what I was pretty much was getting at. Thanks for putting it in better words.

Honestly, I very much agree. You absolutely right maybe back then, but like you said too much has happened. It would be a huge step backwards.

Just spit balling you guys. Just be sitting here with Storm thoughts with no one to share with until I remember I got a cult tribe here to bounce ideas off of. Thanks to those who responded.

I'd be interested in a Magical Storm story arc, but not the whole resurrecting as a magical person instead of a mutant... she's already both.

The idea of developing Ororo's magical side is something that would be difficult to please everyone if they tried to do it, just because she's already so powerful in every other way (especially her mutant power).

For instance, what if she was stuck in somewhere like Otherworld or The Vault and had to develop her magical powers to survive? We could see a whole amazing storyline of her learning to tap into her magical abilities, becoming a powerful sorceress, and then maybe she would die without making it back to Krakoa and had to be resurrected without that knowledge and abilities.

Would people be happy that they got to see a magical Storm? Or annoyed that it was teased then taken away from us? Or relieved that they don't have to update all of Storm's wiki pages with her new magical powers? Or disappointed at what could've been, but glad that they got to see it once?

I imagine it'd be very divisive. Though I could imagine them doing something like that (perhaps with an alternate reality Storm?) just to test what people's reactions would be before possibly adding it to the main universe Storm.

Oh it diesnt and it does especially when you consider wabda's relationship to chthon. But Agatha is not soo clearly defined by a god or even a higher power but storm on the other hand does have a connection to at least two... but I dont think that mattered they simply wanted to put in some cool trivia about the characters.

I think Marvel was looking for another Female Hero with a slight touch of Magical Connection.

ugh yeah Gaea is kinda everywhere, osthur is more reserved and is severely underutilised making her tied to storm in a significant way will be a breath of fresh air (see what I did there... since she is the lady of the) but yeah osthur is very interesting and I hope we get more from her soon.

Yeah, Oshtur is the way to go if we doing Re-incarnation.

He used galactus's power to beat the black winter a universe eating storm. After galactus himself said he couldn't do it yet he thor could? Yeah I smell plot bs.

Of Course it's Plot BS you know it!!!

Its sooo fascinating what you can learn from other planets suddenly the possibilities are truly limitless.

As an omega level weather manipulator storm should be able to recreate these conditions if need be right?
