Originally posted by Swanky-TunaNo, because one of the defining properties of Power Cosmic is it can do anything. There is no "there's nothing saying it can't do this" because it CAN do that. What the crap? "Pigeon-hole Storm's power"?
Ok, again, by who's deifnition?
I could use the "potential doesn't equate to actually doing" argument.
Just because the wielder appears to be able to do "anything", does not mean they can.
And you're pigeon-holing her for the simple reason that Meterology is an actual "science" in the "real world" and this somehow equates to her not being able to coalesce an enviroment for herself in space, because "Psionic control over the elements" is not a plot device like "Power Cosmic", which by you're interpretaion allows the wielder to do "anything".
Originally posted by Swanky-TunaHer powers are based on logical events, as are hundreds, if not thousands, of characters. She is not in the class of characters whose powers are based on "magic" or reality manipulation. Simple as that.
"Magic", Power Cosmic, reality manipulation is just harnessing the powers of the Universe to do what you need to do.
You could probably ask any "Wicca" what "Magic" is and they'll probably tell you "submit yourself to a higher power, harnessing the power of nature/the universe" whatever whatever.
Religion/prayer is in essence "Magic"--praying to God to change certain things in your life/the world.
Ororo, her x-gene and "Bright Lady" enable her to harness the power of the universe/nature to affect weather/elements whether Cosmic or intra-Earth/Intra-planetary. More Magic.

For the same reason "explosives" can tear down a building but "Master of Disaster" doesn't let me rip down a skyscraper with my bare hands. One is an actual thing and the other is a title. Possible also given to herself.
🙄 With this line of thinking you'll never get it.
Power Cosmic enables it's wielder to do "anything" through purely seeminlgy endless potential, "Mistress of the Elements" should at least enble Storm to create an atmosphere when she's already done similar.
Originally posted by Swanky-TunaWhen she was one with the space slug? Chances are she was enhanced by it. Did it ever give a mph on her flight? Or did you just assume she was flying at that speed because a nuclear reaction on a star can make it go that fast?
Yea, because she couldn't have possibly done it because.....uhhhhh.........no plot device or corny-ass name like "Power Cosmic" 😕 . It's just her manipulating the powers of the Universe with her mind. 🙄
And the Acanti have a natural ability to fly faster than Light.

I didn't ask you to apologize 😆

Ok "Phat" is like so ****ing old. 😘
Don't feel you have to type in "Negro speak" so I can understand.
Power Cosmic= can do anything =wishful thinking/hyberbole.

We're all under "God"......indivisable and all that other shit.

But they're not, not magic and Power Cosmic. Well, Power Cosmic is "natural", but it doesn't have any of limit, which is pretty unnatural.
Space doesn't have "limit". It's supposedly infinite.
Big-Bang singularity
Nature= infinite.

Wishful thinking isn't either.
Originally posted by Swanky-Tuna"No other way". You say that so often, I wonder what your basis for comparison is.
By the time she left and they plotted her course she was already off the land mass of Australia.--Just under 1200 miles in literally a few minutes.😐
Sorry, if need be, she can do whatever she has to do.
She's Mistress of the Elements.
