Hey remember how everyone was very insistent I was acting crazy and making shit up when I said Krakoa had appointed a King/Queen with the whole regent thing?
From the Last Annihilation solicitation
She's the Regent of Sol/Mars/Planet Arrako. She's not Queen/Ruler of Earth and it's nations. (Nor are any of the other Mutants. Which is what GG was shouting over and over for anyone to hear). The Nations of Earth would never countenance a "Ruler above All" far less a mutant one. At best they will tolerate her "Speaking/Representing" on Earth's behalf in Galactic matters as they don't have anyone else worthy of that role...but I'm sure even some like Doom would have issue with that.
It's entertaining though...watching some lose their shit when just days before they were gnashing teeth against Marvel for treating Storm with gross disservice and scant courtesy. Let's see how long their favour and fervour last.
In a fight against Dormammu, Storm has her work cut out.

I don't know why people keep trying to pretend that Sol somehow does not also include Earth for no reason. Queen of Sol would make her the Queen of the planets that comprise Sol.
And I don't know why people keep believing that the title is as literal as it sounds and has everything to do with Earth.
Doom acknowledges how divided Earth is and asks: "Who is the King of Mars?" Storm answers: "I am the Regent of Mars" "Voice of Sol".

Marvel is clearly using regent and queen interchangably. If she's the Queen of Mars and the Queen of Sol, in what way would she not also be Queen of Earth?
Until Earth gets its divisive shit together it really won't have much of a presence as part of Sol, Doom says as much, in no uncertain terms...that's why he speaks directly about Mars, the new Planet Arakko, the Capital of Sol. Earth is not the Capital.
It could be argued as well...since we haven't seen it...just how the Great Ring of Arakko, the actual Leaders of the Arakki, truly feel about Storm, a non-Arakki, be their "Queen/Regent". Personally, I think they wouldn't care all that much and go go along with it as they know Storm, of all the Mutants they've encountered, is worthy of the title. But perhaps that's a story to be told.

I am a Marvel fan preferably cosmic storylines, especially Thanos or Dark Phoenix related, when both the Avengers and the X-Men are involved count me in, loved the original Uncanny Avengers series.
Not a fan of any of the new characters.

It's a he who rules america rules earth situation. Yes storm is regent of mars and mars is the most powerful superpower in the system so ruling mars is basically dulling the solar system and when you take into consideration the fact that mars is now the economic epicenter of the entire galaxy it places an even bigger gravitas on the title.
