The Beautiful Windrider

Hello, everybody. I am new to the site, and I just wanted to introduce myself. Though I've never read the comics, I've watched the cartoon since I was like 5, and I fell in love with Storm at first site. Her powers were just too cool for me not to like her. Not to mention her beauty.

The main point of this topic is to defend Storm. I've been reading around here and other sites a lot lately and hae been insighted on many different things. I'd like to share my thoughts and would love to hear what you think of this beauty.

1) Storm, I believe, is one of the most powerful X-Men (the Wikipedia entry for Storm also says she is one) and even one of the most powerful mutants (I've read that a comic once said she was one of the most powerful mutants to walk the planet).

2) From what I gather, it would be wrong for Storm not to be an omega level mutant. The alternate future where she becomes an elemental being is probably the best evidence of this. Along with the magic she's inherited, I believe she can be one powerful being.

3) Weather control is the manifestation of her powers here on earth. I think her powers are much more complex (as if weather control isn't complex enough). The fact that she's controlled some sort of cosmic cloud and draining energy from stars are both excellent evidences of this.

So, I'd love to know what you think about Storm.

I am obsessed with Storm. I drew a huge poster of her. I will post it here if anyone requests to see it ^_^. I have all her toys too. God I love her!

Welcome to the X-men forum OmegaStorm! 😄 Here are some basics: If you want to create a thread, search for it first (I'm not sure if theres a Storm thread) and try not to make any thread unrelated to x-men. Have fun!

Thanks. I've seen many threads; none dealt solely with Storm, so I made one.

i love storm too!!!!!!! omegastorm!!!!!!!! are you the same person on the comx-fan forum??!?? I just joined there and you have the same name and everything. yeah I have been here a while trying to defend storm also.

No, that is not I. This is the first x-men forums I've ever registered on. I'd like to know everyone's thoughts on Storm. I'd also like a cool Storm banner thing for my signature.

Storm is cool in the comics, she's definitely a very dominant force in the X-Men and Marvel worlds. You can tell from a wide array of things, only a few about to be mentioned.

She beat Cyclops over leadership of the X-Men, without her powers. I mean, with her powers it would have been an interesting battle, but without? Doesn't that just scream amazing? I'm avoiding the possibility that Madelyne Pryor influenced the outcome of this battle, though.

It's not only the X-Men's leadership she's won, but the Morlock's, too. Callisto, who was pretty much a mutant extremist, lost to Storm. I don't know much details about this, but speaking of the Morlocks...Storm ripped Marrow's second heart out. I used to have a picture of it...ohh, it was great.

And she's always leading the X-teams. The X-Treme X-Men couldn't have worked under any other leader, and neither can the Uncanny X-Men these days. Whoever falls under Storm's command just seems to go seamlessly with everyone else in the group. Huzzah.

But she's definitely, also, not my favorite X-Man. Her powers are way too powerful, and she shouldn't be prancing with the X-Men but instead turning the drought-ed and dry, arrid places of the earth into something more suitable. But what fun would that be for the fans? An Alex Ross/Alan Moore drawn book (Like those gigantic DC Books, remmember?) would be nice for the X-Men.

Can somebody give me a complete list of known/possible powers? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Powers: psychically linked to the weather patterns of Earth, allowing her to command meteorological energy patterns to raise or lower temperature levels, direct air currents as hurricane-force winds, a pressure dome that can deflect attacks, or to maneuver herself through the sky, excite electron particles to call down lightning bolts, scramble incoming psionic assaults, or fire electrical blasts from her fingertips, and summon clouds as fog cover or in order to bring forth precipitation such as rain, snow, sleet, and hail, alter her body temperature to compensate for weather conditions, and can manipulate her own perceptions to see electrical energy and the factors behind weather phenomena

Thanks. I've read that before. Her powers go beyond that I believe.

Yeah, I'm sure they do. UXN doesn't really go into depth 😮.

I wanna see Lady Jade's poster.

Me too.

Here ya go ^_^
It took about a week to do and I had to hang it on my wall as I drew and coloured it. It was pretty tiring.

That's pretty cool. only one thing I'd change. you should have her killing Wolverine.

Hey, that's a really great picture. If I tried I could muster that up...though lately all my drawings end up as doodles. Of little Harry Potters and Darth Vaders >_<

Thanks guys <3 I have a lot of pictures I would like to post here so look out for a thread full of my art ^_^ Hope you like it all.

ok, here are some very, very impressive feats of storm.

Uncanny X-men 283-Storm sheilded her teammates from a falling mountain and energy blasts with a pressure dome. She also flew her teammates inside a air bubble.

X-treme X-men#14(I think)-It is revealed that Storm can read the electric impulses in a machines and humans and that it gives her a edge in any fight.

Uncanny X-men#99-Storm destroyed a Sentinel using "solar" winds.

X-men Unlimited#7-This is the issue where Storm used a electric sheild to block off Candra's telekinetic attacks.

Uncanny X-men#165-Storm summons the energy of a billions of stars.

Uncanny X-men#151-It is revealed here that Storm views the weather not as just clouds,wind,lighting, and etc. but instead as patterns of energy and also that Storm is immune to hot and cold.

Gambit#3 (the third series)-She tapped into a computer system on Muir Island.

In a X-men special issue in 1991. Storm tapped into the electro-magnetic spectrum and generated an entire force field over the entire earth to sheild it from gamma rays.

X-men Annual#3-Storm generated her own electro-magnetic spectrum.

And she did that cool thing in X-Treme X-Men where the walls turned transparent, what was that again?

she shifted her sences so she could see energy patterns.
