He made a lot of sense his posts always usually does. But Yeah I am kinda tired of the powers discourse tbh. It just feels very invain. I mean you are simply complaining to yourself how is that going to do anything. But it is ultimately a fun way to exercise your interests. There is a reason death battle is popular and battle forums are bustling with activity and comictok is largely a vs match about who ones fave can solo. But in the end if the writer wants spiderman to solo hulk spiderman will solo hulk, powerscaling be damned.

Ororo Munroe is Twilight Sparkle in xmen red if that makes sense.
That's it lol. That's the sole reason I love discussing her powers and how they mesh/cancel out other characters.
Like Storm vs Jean the good ol classic example. I have 0 interest in seeing these two go at it. But I'll be front row at a discussion that attempts to figure out out Storm's control over electricity can scramble tp & tk.
You are 100% correct about power scaling. Even now, that's the main reason why not only is Orchis still an active threat but not even Magneto could bring down the station even amped by Hope.

Fair enough. I think Ewing will give both characters justice no matter who winsvor if its a draw, but I donÂ’t think Storm would risk the delicate balance of ArakkoÂ’s atmosphere by going for the jovian pressure tactic. I can see how a pissed and aggro Vulcan will push her to do the unexpected, and thatÂ’s StormÂ’s wheelhouse. Brand may still think she is dealing with the “Queen of the Morlocks” and may be surprised she’s also dealing with a “Queen of Amenth.”
Yeah I'm aware of that but that's not what Bobby did. He instantly froze every water molecule in Legions body. Clearly Storm didn't do that to Nameless because she was still able to move her lips to speak and consciously strike herself with a lightning bolt. In fact the scan pretty much states part of what Storm did to Regent "stopping an opponent not through a constrictive ice sheath..."

Yup, powers will always be scaled down in the name of narrative tension and stakes, because despite hyping the omega label I think Marvel's genuinely afraid of setting a precedent by unleashing the full might of omega level mutants against their enemies. And that's why we'll get a dozen omegas able to terraform Mars in a matter of hours, but we'll never get an omega X-Men lineup of Storm, Bobby, Jean, Exodus, Vulcan, Proteus, Hope and Elixir taking the fight straight to an incoming Phalanx armada. But man, that lineup would be epic to imagine in an all-out space battle against one of the most powerful and widespread force of antagonists in the Marvel Universe.
It's the way we are saying storm vs vulcan like an omega level brawl, meanwhile it is going to be a lightning bolt, some wild fires here and there, vocal spat then a come to jesus moment for vulcan so he changes his ways, lol. After 8 I have realized that red will never be what you expect, will it be good? Oh yeah just not what you or I were thinking.
Ororo Munroe is Twilight Sparkle in xmen red if that makes sense.
Even with Magneto's attempts and failures, the fact they haven't had Magik (amped or not) just portal the whole thing into the Sun or just get one of the reality warpers to wipe it out of existence period.
And once again, I'm give some side eye to Storm and Marvel editorial because they are literally in her backyard and they've had her address it all of 0 times.
Well remember, the new age considers Omega Mutants a resource and a rare one at that. Terraforming a dead planet is a different ballgame than sending them off to fight some being that would even call for putting together such a powerhouse team in the first place.
I'd also never include Hope since she's basically the linchpin to the Mutant race at this point.
Didn't Al promise us a fight tho? Like an actual fight since issue 2 was just a warm up?

one thing that does make me a little hopeful for the future of the x-Men (mostly Storm) is younger Writers are going to read these forums and listen to what people have been saying for years the Woman writing the second scarlet witch issue immediately said she was gonna use Storms Magical Ancestry, something past writers have not touched for decades... it might take some time but i have no doubt younger writers are gonna giver her the shine she needs
"Goddess be Praised"
Exactly. That WHOLE Explanation Marvel gave is complete BS, but whatever moving on.
I think we can agree that protocol has gone out the Window. Magneto is dead and Vulcan had died so clearly they don't seem to "Precious Resources" since their deaths.
I actually thought that every Omega Lvl Mutant would have their own personal Body Guard based on the Protocols.
