-Mentally cloak herself from Sersi
-Create weather conditions of a large enough volume that Sersi has problems manipulating.
-Create said weather conditions fast enough, meaning in a split second.
-Ensure that said weather conditions deal enough damage to knock out a being that can be disintegrated and survive.
-Resist telepathy from Sersi
And all in a split second.
Sersi needs to:
-Turn Storm into a bug
-Step on bug
-Have coffee
One combatant needs a complicated series of events to happen without one cog screwing up, and to happen almost simultaneously. One needs to step on a bug. Obviously, the one who steps on the bug wins 10/10.
You put too much in that list for Storm. She does not have to do all of that in a split second. Sersi's state of tangibility is not even an issue here. Neither is her teleportation or anything.
Look, Storm can accomplish all she needs to accomplish is stealing vision from Sersi and creating too much volume for her. By creating her blizzard, she does everything she needs to do to prevent Sersi from getting to her. She can very easily generate that kind of mass as its nothing for nature to do that. You don't see that Sersi's powers is extremely limited where Storm is vastly powerful where mass is concerned.
Becoming invisible to Sersi's telepathy is an automatic thing for someone like Storm. She doesn't even have to use her powers for this. Another thing Storm could do is catch Sersi off guard with an thunderclap/sound attack or a surprise mini blizzard in the face. by the time Sersi recovers from the surprise, she looks up and Storm has moved herself out of Sersi's vision while blocking her thoughts. STorm can generate her blizzard at this point or generate it while Sersi is recovering and still not be where she was prior to her initial attack to throw Sersi off balance.
Going on what 2ddamnloud brought up about Storm's electrical field, if Sersi cannot transmute through an electrical field, Storm could put an electrical around herself AND Sersi at the very beginning of the fight while throwing her blizzard up. Sersi would be unable to transmute from behind the field as well. 🙂 Other weaknesses Storm can play up on is Sersi's need to breathe. Hence, whenever Sersi is in space, she has to wear a space suit. Storm snowblinds Sersi and can just concentrate on suffocating her. Ororo has done this before.
Whatever the case, Sersi will always be succeptible to Storm's powers. Ororo can suffocate her. If she goes intangible, her lightning will hurt her. Sersi obviously is imitation Kitty when she goes intangible since Kitty is controlling herself on an atomic level when she phases. This may protect Sersi from winds, but not from the lighthing or suffocation. (Though air goes through Kitty while she is intangible, she still has to breathe. Same would hold true for Sersi since she's imitation Kitty's power with this.) If Sersi remains tangible, Storm's winds hit harder than most extreme class 100 strength characters. This will take Sersi out. She can also suffocate her.
On the Sersi side of this debate, all of your arguments with Sersi winning depends on her taking Storm out at the very beginning of the fight. If she fails in this, none of you have presented a way for Sersi to use her powers to win. I think the reason for this is Ororo's powers very cleanly counters Sersi's.
Honestly, if Sersi does not take Storm out at the very beginning of this fight, the advantage swings in Storm's favor. Ororo has plenty of ways to throw SErsi off balance at the very beginning to prevent this.
Sersi's teleportation means nothing if she doesn't know where Ororo is. She doesn't know where to teleport to. Storm could very easily put Sersi in a situation where she has to trap her into using her telepathy so she can fry Sersi's brain and take her out of the fight.
You guys keep bringing up Thor, but in many ways, Storm is a better fight against Sersi than Thor is. HE does not have the ability to detect movement in the environment like Storm does. He cannot alter his vision like Storm nor can he fry the brains of invading telepaths. He throws up a blizzard, he's just as snowblind as Sersi.
Guys, quite bringing up Thor, here. He does not have all the aspects of Storm's elemental powers.
Sersi has the advantage over Thor, but 50/50 against Storm. The longer the fight rages, Storm gets the advantage.
