omg the amount people know of storm is actually humorous. first of all she is a confirmed omega-level mutant. also in uncanny x-men # 17 the writers say that she is one of the most powerful mutants to ever walk the earth. and yes, her powers work instantley. in x-men black sun # 2 she froze an entire forest instantley, even the nagari(misspelled) that were trying to kill her were frozen. another example of this was during the dark phoenix sage. she was carrying the weight of herself, wolverine, and cyclops. phoenix was chasing them and storm knew that she needed to buy them time so she created a tornado that was so powerful it blew dark phoenix back and she had to cover her face for cover, INSTANTLEY. another example of storm using powers instantley was also in the dark phoenix saga. nightcrawler was getting beat by shaw so she instantley created a pocket of arctic cold around him. nightcrawler was unaffected by this, but shaw was and she literally dropped the temo below zero instantley and basically froze the fight out of him. also in tournament of heroes storm was against the human torch and they were talking. it was SUNNY out and storm created a MONSOON INSTANTLEY. she raised her hands and there was literally water everywhere. and yes, storm can affect the inside of shields also. she did it to unus the untouchable, magneto, and jean grey. also in uncanny x-men # 17 x-cutioner had a shield up, and she literally BROKE HIS SHIELD. she electrified the air around him and his shield broke, the attack was so intense that he had to teleport away. storm could easily beat any of these people by sending a bolt through their brain which will short out all the synases in their brain. and someone said they use technology, an emp anyone?
I agree, Storm is really powerful... but again, shes not in Uncanny X-men # 17! She was introduced in Giant Sized X-men #1, which is right before Uncanny X-men #94! 😛

Galacticstorm. It doesnt matter if they arent originally from the MU. A week of prep is a week to study your enemy and their weaknesses.In all fairness, I'll take out Jean/Phoenix as she is too powerful now with the phoenix. Any volunteers on who can take her place?
Telepaths are brutal in matchups like these.

youre going to need another telepath to counter Psycho Mantis... someone like classic Psylocke or Rachel. Otherwise it leaves the X-men in a lot of trouble.Telepaths are brutal in matchups like these.

its true Storm has some resistance to telepathy, but hostile telepaths have overcome her before. Heck, Brainchild just did in the savage land arc.
So Yea, Psycho Mantis would be a problem.
mantis turns them all into vegetables

well yeah, then it must be secpnd series. and the telepath won't matter here cause storm could protect her whole team from him by establishing a lightning field. storm could possibly take down this entire team by herself
You are startign to sound like a fanboy i suggest you stop

hey, it's not really fanboyism if she could. she's one of the most powerful mutantsd to ever walk the earth. she establishes ligtning fields that keep telepaths out. she could protect her whole team. you obviously don't know storm
shes not immune to telepathy though, and her telepathy resistance isn't guaranteed. Like I said, she was controlled just 3-4 issues back in Uncanny.
yes, i nmever said she was immune, but very, very hard to get in her head. when rachel had tried to controll storm storm didn't establish a lightning field, an was going on pure determination and it took all rachel had to bring her down. then storm established a lightning field but never finished, and rachel had said that if they were a second late she would have never been able to put storm down. and again, when storm awoke and wasn''t able to access her powers which meant no lightning field it literally took everything rachel had to keep storm under her control. she couldn't even move and psylock walked right up to her, rachel was starring at her but rachel had to give everything she had to concentrate on storm. then psylock called upon a psychic knife and rachel was starring at her because if shehad tried to stop psylock then she would have lost control on storm. even w/out a lightning field she was able to have someone who has a very small portion of the phoenix force a run for their money
ur givin storm way too much credit, storm could just as easily kill raven with a lightning bolt as he could immobilize her with his soul ravens. and storm cant protect against 30 caliber bullets please. and storm cant protect herself from the plasma bolts of fox, or the power of mantis, she cant take a 7.62 caliber bullet from sniper wolf's PSG1 either, nor any other bullet.
