Can you prove any of that without giving off all the speculation you have written?There are several flaws in your own argument.
- How do you know Sienna wasn't bluffing with regards to the glacier? I agree it is very unlikely to have much impact on her blast and i personally don't believe the glacier would negate her blast much at all, but where is the proof of your own comment? Once again, it's ambiguous. I clearly stated earlier that i had no qualms about you guys saying Storm summoned the power of the Galactic Core provided you were consistent in your own arguments. Swanky questioned you on the validity of that Galactic comment, and you responded it was canon. Fine. It is canon here that Storm, Cyclops AND the glacier all contributed to Sienna's downfall. So why keep stating she did it ALL? You're wrong wrong wrong.
- The very same issue also states that Storm's powers of temperature regulation are that if the environment is hotter/colder, her core body temperature reacts inversely. She almost killed herself in a snow blizzard she had created, and it needed Prof X to help her out. Which would mean that if she went into space where it's quite a bit colder....then she would fry her own body to a crisp. I'm not for one minute suggesting that her powers DO actually work in this way (no doubt you will cite bad writing for this), but then you can't dismiss the power of Cylops' blasts either.....
- Why? Because i've NEVER seen it stated that Storm has enough power to pulverise adamantium, but i've seen it for Cyke. I've seen him destroy Apocalypse in one almighty blast, when only in the previous few pages Black Bolt was using his powers against Apoc with no effect. I've seen him split Onslaught's armour even further when Storm DIDN'T. I've also seen issues where he says he has enough power to split a small planet, to power the Phoenix with unlimited power....i've also got the issue right in front of me where Cylops requests Storm call down as much lightning that SHE can stand and then blast him with it....and you know what? He takes it all. So i guess he's more durable than her now....(the issue is King Size Annual, issue 3).
The point i wanted to make, and am still making, is that there are huge flaws all over the place i comics. Telling me my argument is desperate when i question certain things is actually more desperate, in my opinion.
I'll try and sum it up again for you.
If it is stated on page, it is canon. So sure, Storm summoned a Galactic Core.
It was also stated in X-Men Unlimited that Storm, Cylops and the glacier brought Sienna down.
Therefore, all the speculation aside on who is more powerful or not, why do you still insist Storm did it ALL?
And i still have a question unanswered about who the better leader is.... ๐
This is all very, very foolish and a desperate reach. The burden of proof to show that Sienna was bluffing about the glacier is on you. To say otherwise goes against the showings I have seen on her. The lady has the power to split the planet. A glacier is nothing to her. The X-Men were doing some guess work here. They were hoping that the glacier would do something, but Sienna basically laughed at that. The issue stated what Storm and Cyclops did in plain english. Storm redirected the energies while Scott basically just got what was left over.
In regards to the body temperature thing, I don't know why you brought that up. It does not play into this showing of wind force for Storm at all. Also, yes, it was bad writing. Uncanny 120-121 proves this as well as the fact its also been stated in canon that Ororo is *immune* to climate and temperature variation. Uncanny 121 shows this in a grand way.
In regards to the Scott/adamantium thing, he was only written with that power in that one issue. This issue did not give him that power nor has any other issue before or since then. That said, if you want to argue Cycops can destroy adamantium in a thread, I will not fight you on that. However, you will have to prove that he was written with that kind of power here. You will have a VERY difficult time arguing this since we saw him shoot the snow/ground at full power to pulverize the snow and cushion Ororo's fall. If those blasts could destroy adamantium, the damage would have been MUCH greater. This is a very desperate ploy on your part.
In regards to the Apacolypse thing and Scott's blast vs. Storm's powers, that's really not an argument for you. We have seen Storm and Poccy trade blows. Also, wasn't Poccy weakened at that point when Scott blasted him?
Now, here is what we have seen: Cyclops, Wolverine and Colossus together assaulted Magneto's force-field and they could not even begin to tax his powers. Storm came along and single-handedly put a tremendous strain on Magneto's powers with her winds alone and nearly took him out of the fight/killed him. That puts her over Scott definitively. In regards to your adamantium comment, I'm sure if people wanted to discredit that, they could. All they would have to do is look up some of the things that adamantium has withstood and show how the claim that Scott was able to destroy it devalued the resilience of the material. Personally, I don't care so much to debate this and I'm not going to research adamantium out to do this.
That said, the issue said he can level mountains. That's about par for the character which would mean that his blasts are a joke compared to Sienna's. The glacier was laughable. In other words, Storm did easily most/close to all of the work. This is not speculation, but merely putting the facts all together.
