I've never liked how she's been pigeonholed into being the mother figure for everyone, particularly since a large part of the relaunch that has all that she's done. And after how badly they've mangled her relationship with BP lately I don't want her to have his child; it would feel like some kind of political scheme. Comic book writers, particularly male ones, have a terrible track record dealing with kids and babies. But I definitely agree that we don't need another Cable (looking at you, stupid Rob Liefeld dude). If she has a kid, let them be a baby!
Oooh, interesting idea. Have a kid, but they AREN'T a mutant. Maybe have 'divine' powers, but no X gene.
I was cautiously interested in X-men Red until I saw that preview pic with Magneto. I've been burned so many times you guys. I want a Storm story with DEPTH and CHARACTERIZATION. Not more 'cool but shallow YAS QUEEN' moments while the real power players do all the narrative lifting. I hope I'm wrong, I really do.
I would really love to, it's time to recognize her as one of the most powerful heroines in the Marvel Universe, she has enough power to face beings like Thor, Wanda, Captain Marvel, Galactus, Celestials... but for that, she needs more talents above the planetarium!
I also remember in Coates that they had to explain to her about the deity. As some user here said something that really makes sense (sorry, I suck at remembering names), Storm holds back a lot for many reasons, but it's breaking down those barriers little by little!
With this single quote, she can do a lot of absurd things, I'm even frustrated that they don't fully explore!
I understand where this comes from, as I also think the more great feats she gets, the more nerfs she can get (because it's at a core that most characters are planetary) she needs to earn her own soil!!
As I've also noticed that haters are scared by the absurd things she's doing, mainly because they stereotype the weather powers, like just rain, lightning, wind, blizzards, but because most writers portray exactly that in her, but she's a GODDESS, it has to be bigger than that, where most characters are capable of destroying a solar system, universes .. And most are white characters ..
Oh, I just saw it, sorry. I partially agree with your opinion, Storm is one of the Marvel characters that barely has an explored family nucleus, and because of the importance she carries, it would be very interesting for her to have a child, I'm not against this, but taking into account that the writers tends to find it easier to diminish her powers, this could be one of the reasons they would give, something I don't agree with, it's a fear of mine, but as I said it's a step she has to take, and that it be with BP (Just as the writers insist on destroying that relationship, I've even talked to friends who think Tchalla is a toxic man, on the level of Hank with Janet, because of the **** the writers did to their relationship, I find it very offensive coming of writers, they're dumb for not writing this relationship more carefully, they're both important characters)
But now it's too early, in my view Storm still needs to consolidate, and it has to be something natural, nothing forced, no children of the future.
Year now start and we're already out the gates with a BANG! I LOVE US

Storm ever generated a magnetic vortex?
Magneto was able to hit absolute zero, sucking in all the air around the sentinel (Uncanny X-men #202)
Personally I don't know why they didn't just drop Vulcan off at the orchids station and be done with it.

Indeed! I am ready!
This looks and sounds amazing. This has me STOKED for this book to get here. Ugh why April....soooo long ;__;...I want to know what triggers Storm's change in appearance? How does that translate to her personality? What does that mean for her perception of her role as Regent if she believes more is needed to defend the sacred land of Arakko and the people? If not a team of heroes, which I agree is not really the answer either (Arakko is a battle hardened warrior culture), does she have a vision for a new defensive force (like a new version of the XSE) that will be the protectors of Arakko and the Sol System? So many more questions due to the potential. Some good eatin' luv!
Anyway Storm vs Vulcan would be interesting and a smart move on Brand's end if she could indeed manipulate him into siding with her (revenge on the Shiar would be a perfect motivator). Storm vs Vulcan would definitely require some cunning on Ororo's end, though covers don't always indicate what will happen in the book. And I would love to see Storm using her tactical and strategic thinking with respect to Brand's attempt to take down Krakoa vs engaging in her behindd the scenes manipulations. But Storm may not see that early on. If they did fight I'd love to see Storm do one of the following:
- CHEAT - Why risk a potentially devastating battle when she could have Tarn erase Gabriel's x-gene and then Storm's gives him an epic beatdown (horrible but I embrace my evil and I love Tarn's snark) - this wouldn't happen though
- CUNNING & TACTICS - Not easy to manipulate energy if your lungs are frozen, eardrum's are bursting or the blood isn't flowing to your brain ala pressure manipulation. Storm countering his ability to manipulate the electricity in her brain would be interesting. She has tactics he can't counter and are highly debilitating if not flat out knocking him out. And he's shown to survive that kind of punishment do she could do it without causing is death
- OMEGA vs OMEGA - Not sure how this would go. It would be interesting to see this being where Storm demonstrates some strong defensive shields for a full on fight with another powerful energy manipulator, and while she also control's physical forces would they be enough to allow her to contend. The absolute zero cold would be awesome though, but she may have other ways too. She commands more than energy, but he also can creative defensive shields so...where is the edge for either? Win or lose this fight has me intrigued.
I love the different possibilities here, Wind!
See in another situation I could easily see Storm using Tharn to shut Vulcan down quick and cleanly. I mean even on his worst day Vulcan is not a threat to be taken lightly. But as you said it's pretty much nil that this would come to pass. The most obvious reason is that it would basically burn any reputation Storm has built up among the Arakki thus far. Then again is it not the mark of a good leader to use all the resources/weapons at their disposal?
So much potential here!

I'm pretty sure Storm will be fighting Fei Long
