Well, plenty of people have powers like Storm. Magma controls magma and tectonic activity, Wind Dancer is like Storm minus the water-based and lightning effects, Rictor, Avalanche, etc.Personally I think the most unexplainable are people like Abyss, whose body is a pocket dimension, or Xorn, with the star for the brain.
True. But Storm's a bit more high-profile than those guys. In any case, she wouldn't be my first choice for getting rid of someone, but she's definitely top 10 or so. Pheonix probably tops my list...even ahead of Wolvie.

Seriously though, Storm is great, hope she never leaves. Plus, she's puuurdy.
Only character I have a REAL problem with is Gambit......ugh...CHARM POWERS?!??
Also, I could do without Thing, seriously, what does he have that 99% of the other "big guys" don't? Heart? My ass!
He's out of date and needs to retire, or get a downgrade in strength and an upgrade in intelligence.

well s i said digi, storms powers are supposed to seem l;ike witchcraft because she is a decendant of a long line of african royalty and african priestess, powerful ones.
Then why not call it witchcraft?
Seriously, how much more appealing would she be her powers where to do with magic, or some deal her ancestors had with Gaea or mother earth?
They can do more with Storm than what they're doing now.
Make her supernatural, make her more mystic than mutant, then I'd respect her more.

I didn't mean in power. I meant in the story itself. Claramont seems to put her first in the story no matter what. In the eighties the "I used to be worshipped as a goddess you know!" line was cool. A thousand times later and it's f***ing annoying. She would be a far more interesting character under a better writer. Like Whedon. *drools at that thought*
Exactly. It's all the same under her. Nothing new. Claramont is reuse the same lines over and over again.
"Now I see why Storm was worshipped as a goddess!"
God knows how many times Claramont used that line....
Whedon or Morrison would make her MUUUUUUCH more interesting. And they would use her powers better.
Claramont uses the mundane or the insane ways of using her powers.
