Yes but storm is causing massive damage, thats easy to track. A man in hiding isnt, he's subtle...
You're tracking the storm, but not Storm, and she gets away, rests and can attack again in another spot.
Originally posted by CreshoskThey would be tracking Storm through Radar which Subs can track other Subs with it from across the world's Ocean's. Satelites can keep a good image up of where ever she is. Plus with all the energy she already wasted causing the intial attack how would she be able to do all this massive scale stuff without exausting herself near death. She can't that why she doesn't have the energy reserves to do it.

And satelites can see through hurricanes to see individual people?
You are overestimating the military. . . I think you've watched one too many movies . . .
Re: Which of the following characters can take over OUR world?

they will have to be able to stand against the military might of all our nations combined. Assume we don't know anything about them, including their weaknesses.
Carnage
Iron Man (regular armor)
Colossus
Iceman
Green Lantern (Hal)
Superman
Storm
Magneto
Invisible Woman
Mystique
Either way those with the least chance are Colossus and Carnage. Also either way Superman, Iceman and Magneto would take over world.
Mystique has an excellent chance of taking over the world. She actually has a better chance than a lot of people on the list because her actions would be subtle. It may not be as obvious how she'd do so because she doesn't go around shooting laser eye beams and lifting tanks. People are underestimating how devious and ruthless she can be and the power of stealth.
Assuming we know nothing about them, Storm actually does have an ok chance. The destruction she wreaks on the world appears natural. If she takes a more direct approach I'd daresay a woman once revered as a goddess could rally supporters.
I do see her taking over the world country by country though as opposed to a global assault. Maybe first overthrowing the House of Saud and then moving on to the other OPEC nations. Controlling so much of the world's oil, Western Nations would be fool to attack her. Once in control of around half the world's crude oil supply she forms a strategic alliance with China, whose rapidly expanding economy is heavily dependent on oil. She also makes a non-aggression pact with Russia. With China's army she takes over South and South East Asia. Her benign dictatorship is favoured by the people of Asia over the Communist Party. Likewise the people of Russia see the prosperity Storm's rule has brought over neighbouring nations. Putin is ejected from office. She now rules a vast continent.
With the vast resources of her continent and Russia/China's vetos in the UN she takes over the African Continent with ease. She moves her capital to Kenya.
At this point both the EU and US concerns have reached a zenith. However they can do little against the burgeoning threat. Europe falls next. Then finally the US. 😄
Bin Laden is purposely hiding he won't come out Storm already has.
I'm overestimating the military please I have taken nothing but fact if I went by movies this would be stupid. Subs can use Radar to track other Subs in the other side of Oceans. Also they can track hurricanes no problem. Also to do that after she is already exhausted and probably hasn't the energy to do it. Plus to do that she has to think about the satellite focusing on her which why would she. Also her power is strong but her energy reserves aren't enough. You wanna talk about technology.
The military can launch a tomahawk missile and target hundreds of miles away and fly it through a window I believe that proves that someone like Storm size couldn't escape once they are placed under surveillance which she would be.
Next her first use of power could overwhelm the first attack against her but the power needed to do that would drain her there. So she possibly won't even get away if under heavey fire. She can not suceed she has limits on her endurance energy reserves and DURABILITY. She will loose because no matter what she will get tired. Once tired and trying to flee she will have no where to run under radar and satillite detection.

Do you even know what radar is? How are you going to bounce soundwaves off of storm . . in the middle of a hurricane?
Sonar goes long range underwater . . . it;s realatively calm down there. . . but in the middle of a hurricane you don't have a snowballs chance in hell of finding anything.
Originally posted by xmarksthespotSo the point is that they would detect abrupt weather changes I mean we can trace the source of Hurricanes to which stream it came from if massive weather changes occur then they will bespotted and traced. another point is by herself she won't be able to focus that much power for to long anyways she would have to try a city by city campaign otherwise she would be drained to quickly to do anything.
At the start of the thread it says we know nothing about any of these characters. We don't know who they are, what they look like, their powers or their weaknesses.So I don't see how everyone is assuming that any of the characters is found instantly.
Originally posted by CreshoskLet's see Radar can detect planes flying through Storms all the time. Storm still doesn't have the power levels to maintain these things at all anyway.

So by you this is what she does . She attacks causing huge uproars in wheather. She then continues long enough to take every major threat away like nothing despite the fact that she has limited energy reserves. Then you say if they attack her she keeps up her attacks while being attackes with no problems. She then continues until she gets tired and then she summons up more energy for her escape covering up satellites she has no idea where they are(If she even thinks about them by now she is so tired) while fending off more missle attacks and planes and stuff like that. Directing the weather while trying to fly and get away as fast as she can all while already drained. I must say Storm is Uber Powerful no isn't she. Oh and she goes into hiding then reenrgizes all while the nations do nothing except sit and wait when they can track her anywhere on the earth.

I'm saying she attacks within a hurricane to begin with. The hurricane can afford her quite a bit of defense, as most people would not automatically assume the the attack is of a sentient origin.
She could easily destroy quite a few places of power long before anyone even catches on.
You'd have to know something about Storm in order to detect her as a threat in the first place.
It'd take quite awhile before someone caught on that it was of hostile intent in the first place.
You seem to think that the instat she starts attacking it'll just be her floating arround. . .
And you seriously underestimate Storm as well. . .most of the time she holds back. And THAT is what drains a person quicker. attacking with strong winds AND containing it so it doesn't go awry and do undue damage takes alot of concentration.
When panicking she can create massive storms.
Alright you tell a persn lifting wieghts or exerting any force that if you hold back it is harder right 😛
She might stay hidden but it doesn't matter the energy it would take to do something like take out all threats is beyond her. Plus it would require knowledge of where they are which can you tell me where they are because thats right anyone with average knowledge knows not where these things are Storm won't either. Now the fact is we can detect where the source of these weather patterns are she would have to try something biig and it can be given a source if it is abnormal. Satelittes can take care of the rest. So it isn't like she wouldn't be able to be spotted her powers can be traced.
Aslo the Hurricane doesn't matter as much because how would she know to use it to block the satelittes plus the radar can still keep up with her. Now you say she can get away but she would have to do alot.
Now let's put her through the hell she is about to go through. First she attacks she will be shot at with missles and using more and more energy. She gets away without being tracked(Yeah Right) she hides it would take weeks to fully recover the energy she wasted. then she goes out and does it again. No matter what you say she is a normal human that has normal endurance and durability. The constant attacks on her the waste of energies is gonna take her toll and the amount of space to hide will reduce and reduce. Plus by then at the most a month in she would fatigued on the run probably sporting many wounds and because by now a satelitte image of her would be everywhere treatment and supplies would lessen. She can't do it she is human.

also remember that these characters have limited energy, they're going to tire out sooner or later
Oh yes, we're going to use Nukes on a lone enemy. You think they are going to stand on a remote desolate island and wait to get nuked? We won't risk nukes or bombs on guys like Carnage, because, well, they are just going to be wrecking havok in heavily populated areas.

Originally posted by supremthorThe point is they don't need to. Storm is only human Magento is only human when it comes down to durability and endurance a stray piece of shrapnel from a bomb would kill them. Thier power will drain with usage and with the power they need to be using to stop the attacks they would be drained quickly.
but then wats there option. blow up a whole city killing million and saving saving billions. or not blowing up anything and end up being controled.
