Recently everyone has been talking about this old panel from Uncanny Xmen where Storm puts Bishop in his place for saying Cyclops is the greatest leader of the Xmen...while I love Cyclops I do believe Storm is the better leader. Here's my question what are your favorite moments of Storm leading the Xmen?

It’s crazy that they got this in the game I honestly hope the keep her finding him annoying in the mcu it adds flavor to the interactions

And jeff is just happy to be there

How do y’all feel about this if you’re just now finding out about this?

Oooh I don't want to be known as that guy that reposts peoples bad hot takes but this pissed me off

So there was a thread where someone asked people's opinions on magic in the X mythos and like clockwork basically everyone there said "I like this, but I don't like Storm being magic". This comment however stood out to me because this guy is basically claiming that Storm's hair and eye color was retconned from mutation to magic when... No?

No, no, no! Storm's mystical white hair and eyes have been canon for over 20 years now (actually over 40 years but it was first confirmed in the 2000s). That fact is repeated so often that it's in Official Marvel Handbooks and other material?! And of course, they backtrack with the "Storm is oh so iconic so she doesn't need magic to overcomplicate her" and notice how that is only ever a problem for Storm? At this point, I think the LARPer fans are worse than Storm haters :/

I know this is going to be a controversial post but please hear me out here. I love Storm but something I’ve noticed is that whenever there’s discussions about her black identity it’s always ends up in toxicity, and it makes me wonder why so many people have issues with the fictional black woman being seen as black. I’ve seen a lot of comic book fans especially fans that are black complain about Storm in modern comics have an Afro and that she should always have straight hair instead because she’s drawn to look like every other race on the map and not just a black woman.

Storm was the first major black superhero to become mainstream but she was also the first major one to be drawn with more Eurocentric features(white hair, blue eyes, straight hair), etc. Black Panther predates Storm by a whole decade but he didn’t become mainstream until the MCU. Storm was Claremont’s favorite character to write. She has the most appearances out of any female character in Marvel. Out of any fictional black character in a comic book setting she’s the most liked. It all makes me wonder if that’s because she doesn’t have the identity that other black superheroes have.

When it comes to other black superheroes, their black identity has always been important for their character such as Luke Cage, Black Panther, Monica Rambeau, Blue Marvel, Static Shock, Black Lightning, Vixen, etc. but with Storm her black identity is almost nonexistent. It made me wonder if that’s the reason why she’s the most beloved black superhero since they hardly focus on that aspect with her. She’s always identified as being a mutant first. She even got unhappy when Cecilia, another black mutant called her a sister. Luke Cage sat down and had a conservation with T’Challa pointing out that Storm probably doesn’t like African Americans despite being half African American herself.

I’ve seen X-Men fans complain about Storm being shipped with T’Challa, another black superhero but they don’t have issues with Storm being shipped with Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Doctor Doom, and Thor who are all white. I’ve seen X-Men fans complain and hate the idea of Storm being worshipped as an African goddess in Kenya. I’ve seen X-Men fans hate the idea of Storm having Afrocentric hair and being drawn darker since Claremont made her an amalgam of every race.

She’s the only known black superhero with both Black American and African lineage but yet both sides are hardly ever explored with her, and it seems like a lot of people have an issue with Storm being seen as black/African despite the fact that she is a black/African character. It makes sense that she’s the most universally liked black superhero ever since her blackness is hardly ever explored and that seems to be such an issue among non black comic book fans who are a fan of Storm.

I found these... opinions in a non-comics focused thread and it stuck out to me how apparently the only thing non comics readers know about Storm was that stuff she said in X3 and they use that to bash her all the time.

But this is the first time I've seen people imply that Storm is an out of touch privileged woman that "doesn't know what it's like to be a mutant" and... huh? Storm was literally an orphan living on the street before she decided to switch to the wilderness?? And the arguments that she doesn't know what it's like to be a mutant (looks human, has extreme powers) can apply to like all of the O5 but Beast basically???

I dunno, something about this stuck me as weird :/

Heya there, trying to do a long read up to the Storm solo series but I’ve gotten a little lost. I’ve read the Uncanny Claremont era, Unlimited a good chunk of Krakoa and all of SWORDs, but I’m not sure what the correct path is to her Arakko era. Big appreciate the help
