But that's exactly the bit I was talking about, which was all orchestrated by the Adversary... Anyway. I'm not going to convince you and you're not going to convince me either, so let's move on.
I feel like that's out of character for Storm. I've never seen her belittle someone like that. Be angry and even hateful, yes, but this kind of nasty? It's strange. And as has been pointed out before, it's also silly from a strategic point of view, because she needs Forge to stick around.
From her interaction with Illyana in this issue though, I get the feeling she realises she's being nasty. So maybe Lemire has an end game, and is not just doing approximate characterisations because he can't be bothered? I don't know. I hope so.
