Not at all. Storm was shown being able to get through JEan/s and Sue's field BEFORE this Exodus story. This was PIS because you had one character, Exodus, trying to take on a large group of heroes. They had Exodus vs. Sersi one-on-one to show that those two going at it would have destroyed the city. She probably could have won, but at too great of a price. Xavier was neutralized because Exodus had enhanced the fear and hatred of the Genoshans against mutants. It was much easier for him to play on that than for Xavier to try and take it away since their mindset/emotions/psyche was already in that direction to begin with. However, the story called Xavier a greater psi than Exodus. Then they cooked up this thing for Storm with a TK field. Xavier, STorm and Sersi were the three characters in the arc who could have destroyed the credibility of the story, so they came up with things to weaken the three of them. What they came up with Storm did not work. They should have tried something else.
In regards to Sue/Jean, my point is not whether or not one can get through the other's field while the other cannot. Its obvious to me that in order for either character to use their powers through either one's field, they would have to break it down first. For Storm, this is not the case. She is automatically connected to the life force of the planet/etc. For Jean Grey to grab anything with her TK, she HAS to project energy whether it is visible or invisible. She has no direct control over an object unless she exercises her TK on it. Storm, on the other hand, controls the forces of nature directly and is linked to them in a way far beyond anything Jean can manage. Hence, she is able to control nature even through force-fields/energy fields while TK's generally can't. Jean isn't grabbing Storm through her electrical field or in anyway working her TK directly upon Storm.
That "Bloodties" arc was very unrealistic. Storm should not have been in that story and I am not so sure that I buy him taking out Scarlet Witch like that when you had all of those other characters around her who could have played interference to give her time to work up a hex to take him down. One-on-one, he could beat SW no problem. She's limited. She can only throw one hex at a time while he can come at her in more than one way at a time. She cannot counter all of that. Anywho, that's all...
