While she threw the 300 pound guy straight up into the air and onto the Statue of Liberty. If the wind had been anywhere near as strong at her level as it was around Logan, Cyclops and Jean would've been blown away.
So if Storm is going to use a wind attack. All the other melee players would have to stay back.
I said she'd have the wind going up
high, not at ground level. It'd be more than breezy at the ground, granted, but when three of your teammates are Wolverine, Colossus, and Beast, and the other two can freeze people to death or hit with them optic blasts strong enough to blow holes through concrete, I think she'd manage.
And I said three times that her lightning would be her main weapon here. She's accurate enough with it to nail Sabretooth inside a building while he's choking her, and break the wooden beam Nightcrawler was standing on without touching him while inside a church. It helps that she can channel it through her hands, too.
Also, this is in the city streets, where Spidey and Venom are in their element. They can easily wall crawl (or go on the roof) to get to the X-men.
If there are high winds up, that'll take much longer, and they'll fall to either lightning or optic blasts.
Hmm, I'm thinking if I used Norman instead of Harry, Spidey team would get a much more decisive win.
Why would that be better? Norman, despite having thrown Parker through a stone building and blown a grenade up in his face beforehand, still got beaten to a pulp in under a minute. Harry fared significantly better, IIRC.
