Regardless if those characters are written donwn they still do great in a Team Book setting. So there is no excuse. None of us here want a weak Storm. But some of us want to see Storm grow and mature in power. Meaning we’d like to see her full potential that has been hinted, referenced and said multiple times now. We’re not asking for a EXTEREME ULTRA SUPER SAYAIN STORM LOL. We want a Storm that’s not afraid in showing her full power. She can still be well balanced and be very powerful too. We want to see her explore and experiment with her powers that could bring her to interesting new hieghts WHILE finding that Balance.
I don’t know who here wants a EXTREME ULTRA SUPER SAYAIN STORM. I know I don’t. There’s no need to have added powers when the Woman powers changes due to the Environment.
Exactly. The mission Marvel gave Jean in Red should have gone to Ororo, to be honest. Jean going to the UN and all? Storm got X-Treme X-Men UN sanctioned and she should have a lot of political ties from being queen. Make no mistake about it, this is something they have been planning for Jean for well over a year now at least when Storm would have made the most sense to give this kind of a book to and put on a team roster like what Jean has. Jean, just coming back, should have been on a team of X-Men characters she knows well that would have missed her. She would have done well on X-Men Gold (take out Rachel and put Jean on the lineup and swap Polaris on the team for Storm).
So, first, we get Storm on a team being led by Kitty after all the bad writing Ororo got in IvX on top of years worth of Lightning Lass. Then, we get Jean coming back and leading a new team with a mission that would have made more sense for Storm to take the lead on while Storm takes a nap each issue of Gold. Who knows? Maybe originally the mission given to Jean's book was originally intended for Ororo by whoever came up with the concept and the editors decided to hold Storm back for Jean. I knew no good would come for Storm with Jean back. Storm's a more powerful character with a greater potential for fresh stories to tell than Jean Grey. On top of it, when written well, Storm has greater appeal to a much larger fanbase than Jean. As I have said time and again: Marvel has a problem with Storm being their leading female icon. They intentionally try and hold her back to prop up other women characters for that role.
