KMC Forums - A question about Storm's powers

In short she has vast weather manipulation and is a potential omega, but writers are holding off to further explore the character b4 making her peak, she also inherited magical abilities from her ancestors

But for more accurate and detailed look, Here's the whole shebang, powers and skills from 2 of the best sites on the subject...

Weather manipulation
Storm is one of the most powerful mutant heroes in the Marvel Universe. Storm's character has shown a plethora of abilities most of which center on her mutant power to control the weather.[37]

Storm possesses the psionic ability to control all forms of weather. She can lower or raise the temperature of the environment, control all forms of precipitation, humidity and moisture, coalescence toxic atmospheric pollutants into acid rain or toxic fog, control the wind to elevate herself to fly at high speeds, generate lightning and other electromagnetic atmospheric phenomena, and has demonstrated excellent control over atmospheric pressure. Besides the atmosphere, Storm has demonstrated the ability to control natural forces that include cosmic storms, solar wind, ocean currents and the electromagnetic field. She can create electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields and has demonstrated the ability to create electrolytic fields to separate water molecules into molecular oxygen and atomic hydrogen. While in outer space, she is able to affect and manipulate the interstellar and intergalactic mediums. Storm can alter her visual perceptions so as to see the universe in terms of energy patterns, detecting the flow of the electromagnetic fields behind weather phenomena, machines, and nervous systems.

Storm has shown to be sensitive to the dynamics of the natural world. One consequence of this connection to nature is that she often suppresses extreme feelings to prevent her emotional state from resulting in violent weather. She has sensed a diseased and dying tree on the X-Men mansion grounds, detected objects within various atmospheric mediums--including water, sensed the in-correct motion of a hurricane in the Northern Hemisphere and the gravitational stress on the tides by the Moon and Sun as well as the distortion of a planet's magnetosphere.[38]

Storm's mutant abilities are limited by her willpower and the strength of her body.[37] Her character has been described as being a "possible omega-level mutant."[39]

[edit] Magical potential
Storm's ancestry supports the use of magic and witchcraft.[40] Many of her ancestors were sorceresses and priestesses. Storm's matrilenial powers have even been linked to the real-world Rain Queens of Balobedu, the region from which her Sorceress Supreme ancestor, Ayesha, hails from. The Mystic Arcana series deals with Storm's ancestor Ashake, who worships the Egyptian goddess Ma'at, also known as Oshtur--the mother of Agamotto.[41] Some of Storm's alternate universe forms possess considerable magical talent.[42] Although Storm has not developed her magical potential, it has been hinted at.[40] The Mystic Arcana series lists the characters with magic potential according to the Marvel Tarot deck. The Tarot asserts Storm as being "High Priestess," the First Tarot's choice one-third of the time. The other draws were the Scarlet Witch and Agatha Harkness. These three characters split the High Priestess card equally. On a seperate note, it has been stated that Storm's spirit is so strong that she was able to host the conciuosness of Eternity, a feat in which very few Marvel characters can do without going insane.[43]

[edit] Combat and thievery
Storm has been additionally portrayed as a skilled thief and a gifted hand-to-hand fighter, trained by Wolverine. By using superior strategy Storm has overcome physically superior fighters like Callisto and the Crimson Commando in hand-to-hand combat. Storm is fluent in Arabic and Swahili, a characterization that gives her a thick African accent. As part of her paraphernalia, Storm carries a set of lock-picks and her ancestral ruby, which allows inter-dimensional transportation with the help of her lightning.[37]

[edit] Physical abilities & traits
Storm's physiology grants her immunity to extreme weather conditions and temperatures.[44][45] Her body compensates for rapid decreases or increases in atmospheric pressure.[46] She can see in near-complete darkness and has superb dexterity.[47][48] Storm has been described as having one of the strongest wills among the X-Men, making her highly resistant to psychic attacks. Telepaths have found it dificult to track her down and probe her thoughts. Several of these traits are independent of her mutant status and are a result of her ancestry

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
