Ororo Munroe / Storm / The Mother: Goddess be praised! appreciation 2023

I hope Ewing dives deep and gives us the lore and origin of why Ororo’s line is favored by Oshtur and the women have white hair, blue eyes, and magic potential.

I’m starting to open up about this Craig guy (more attractive Steve Trevor). It’s got me thinking about all of her past beaus and relationships. I love how Ororo has been super selective with her romances and bed partners. Anyone else think she has a 9 inch minimum?

He'll most likely drop some additional info in context of the story as he's done recently but considering this has more to do with Maggie's resurrection I doubt we'll get as deep a dive into her mystical ancestry as we would like. And personally I would want a Storm solo/limited series to fully explore her mystical heritage where she is the focus of the story.

the article also confused Craig Marshall with Blue Marvel but from her esthetic it looksl to be Ashake.

i didn't see the article but blue marvel appears too. i know them white sideburns from anywhere. Ewing keeps giving.


Also Ororo/Craig. That is one hot looking scene.

I think we may get all, this is the finale of his X RUN, and the next time he writes about Storm will probably be in 10 years or more.

The Vishanti also gave Aged Genghis great power and in return for this power, Genghis agreed to summon together the greatest mystics in the world for a tournament to discover the Sorcerer Supreme known as the Trial of the Vishanti. The first mortal to ever held the title was the sorceress Ayesha of Balobedu, ancestor of Ororo Munroe, known as the X-Men member Storm.

Ayesha is a sorceress priestess in the Kingdom of Balobedu during the Hyborian Age, she is a rain queen of Balobelu, Ayesha was a Sorcerer Supreme and an ancestor of Ashake and Ororo Munroe, the Storm.

Balobedu must be one of the Black Kingdoms, as that is the name of equivalent of African continent in the Hyborian Age.

There is a real, still existent ethnic group in northeast South Africa called the Lobedu or Balobedu. They still have a Rain Queen(Modjadji). The current Modjadji is Her Majesty, Queen Masalanabo II Modjadji VII.

Is that Genghis supposed to be Genghis Kahn or just a fictional character named after him to make it easier for readers to know what to expect from him?

Because it sounds odd to think that a real world person from the 12th century would somehow be involved with characters from the hyborian age which is supposed to be a fictional time period set in a time before recorded history or the kind of time that iron age greek would use for mystical pre-historic times of early civilizations aka. when things like Atlantis existed (roughly 9000 years before Genghis Kahn).

Yeah, he's not the same as Genghis Khan. Marvel just plays loose and fast with their naming conventions with regard to history. In the same manner, the Balobadu rain queens only go back a few hundred years, not the thousands it would take to get back to the pre-Atlantean Hyborian Age. But it is just comics after all. The writers can take real world influences and remix them to suit their own needs and timetables.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I don't know if four issues in a limited series is enough to give us "all" that we want and expect.

I hope that Storm vs. Genesis provides for a decent showing. I want Storm to take ol'gurl down for good. Tbh, Genesis really doesn't do it for me as a villain. I find her to be rather boring and easily forgettable. Storm deserves a more worthy foe.

[nj06]

Also, this look needs to be made into 6'' Marvel Legends figure ASAP:

Just sayin'...

I think if we saw her a conspiring with the council and her forces more ,it would show off more of her cunning. But I think having the helm hijacks her credibility.
Here's to more Genesis in the future after this run.

By FAR this is Storm's Best Look i've ever seen. I don't know how Marvel will EVER TOP this Look. I LOVE IT !!!!!!!
