true... actually we have seen the worst aplication of physics in some origin stories but there are times that writers do know what they are writing.
as far as powers go I really don't like to account ridicoulus high end (or low end) feats as a medium for a character (Kyle holding a big bang, Thor beating the infinity watch by himself, this one with storm, etc)
on topic now, storm doesn't need to have galactic powers to beat ares

the storm one isn't the same thing, though. kyle's big bang was a natural extension of his powers. storm's wasn't. claremont didn't even know how to write his own characters' powers accurately. it wasn't just storm either; it was most of the x-men.
it depends on whether he has guns imo.

It says she summoned power from the entire core(not the entire galaxy), and that for a moment a new star shines.
Last I checked, a galaxy had more than one stars worth of power.
Originally posted by Silent MasterIt is what people were refering to and the galatic core has a lot more than one star and I believe more mass and energy than the rest of the galaxy. Regardless, harnessing te whole galaxy would only make for a a better reach fat, we dont know how much energy she drained.

Originally posted by Colossus-Big CSure when written by someone who doesn't know anything about basical cosmology. He originally had her written as dodging an attack by a sentinal by riding on solar winds...
yea i thought she just had the power to control the weather, it seems like she gets energy from stars and cosmic type things
Which was later changed to her jetpacks maneuvering nozzles, because basic cosmology tells you that solar wind
would have fried her, the sentinal and the earth's atmosphere.
She has the ability to create her own atmosphere in space by tugging and reigning in all the necessary particles to sustain it. She's been shown capable of influencing most levels of the electromagnetic spectrum and other atomic control over the years. This has been clearly explained in comics several times. She has some form of control over whatever environment she's in. She's used space lightning, solar winds, etc. The star power feat is a little over the top, but her potential to perform it isn't completely out there. It DID kill her.
As for this fight, I'll give it to Storm. Even with his guns she can just increase the air pressure inside of them and force them to explode, a feat she's performed on more than one occasion before a gun could be fired. Once that's out of the way she can just float about and choose from her vast and expansive powerset for the win. He's not surviving a Jovian pressure dome. I would go so far as to say she's quicker on the draw too, but I don't want to have to pull out all the scans after the Storm vs Cyclops thread shenanigan.

claremont-itis.
He came up with some meaningless mumbo jumbo to describe her powers.
"Articulate quasi-animate transitory plasmoids"
Articulate has two meanings:
▸ verb: provide with a joint
▸ verb: speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way
Neither of which really fit for describing energy.
Quasi- has two
▸ adjective: having some resemblance usually by possession of certain attributes
▸ adjective: having a legal status only by operation or construction of law and without reference to intent
The first one is the best so its resembling...
Animate has one basic meaning
▸ verb: give life-like qualities or movement to
So Quasi-animate would be "resembles motion"
No, they're fully animated, they move around quite a bit.
Transitory has one meaning
▸ adjective: enduring a very short time
Plasmoid has one meaning
▸ noun: a section of a plasma having a characteristic shape
That works. so 2/5th of the description make sense.
Jointed resembling movement short lived shaped plasma.
Not helpful.
Wasn't until later with Fabien Nicieza that we get a better explaination 5-6 years later.
Okay so they do tend to be around only while she's concentrating on them. that's 1/4 thus far.
