bio: Ever since her inception in 1975, Storm's biography has largely stayed the same. The framework was laid by Chris Claremont, who fleshed out her backstory in Uncanny X-Men #102 (1976) and Uncanny X-Men #117 (1979). Some reinterpretations were made in 2005 and 2006, where writers Mark Sumerak and Eric Jermone Dickey, respectively, rewrote part of her early history in the miniseries Ororo: Before the Storm and Storm (vol. 2).
According to established Marvel canon, Ororo Munroe is the child of Kenyan princess N’Dare and African-American photographer David Munroe. While stationed in Egypt during the Suez Crisis, a fighter jet crashes into her parents’ house, killing them. Buried under tons of rubble, Ororo survives but is orphaned and left with intense claustrophobia. In Cairo, she is picked up by the benign street lord Achmed el-Gibar and becomes a prolific thief; among her victims is her future mentor Professor X. Following an inner urge, she wanders off barefoot into the Serengeti as a teenager and meets T’Challa, her future husband. Despite strong mutual feelings, the two part ways. In the Serengeti, Ororo first displays her mutant ability to control the weather. For a time, she is worshipped as a rain goddess, practicing nudism and tribal spirituality, before being recruited by Professor X into the X-Men. Ororo receives the code name “Storm” and is established as a strong, serene character. She eventually supplants her colleague Cyclops as leader of the X-Men, a role she fills out during most of her time as a superhero. Concerning her personal life, she is for a longer time romantically involved with fellow X-Man Forge, and even considers marrying him before breaking up. After 98% of the mutants of the world lose their powers, Storm leaves the X-Men to go to Africa; rekindles her relationship with T’Challa, now a superhero known as Black Panther; marries him; and becomes the queen of the kingdom of Wakanda.
powers: weather control, flight, energy perception, ecological empathy, invulnerable to the effects of the weather and extreme heat and cold, partially immune to psionic attacks, possesses latent natural magic abilities.
Storm is one of the most powerful mutants in the Marvel Universe, and in Black Panther #21 (2006), writer Reginald Hudlin hinted Storm to be an Omega-level mutant, a fictional description for mutants with powers of unlimited potential. Iron Man discusses the possibility with Sentinels at the end of the comic. Prior to this, longtime X-Men scribe Chris Claremont had hinted that Storm possesses this power level by comparing her to the canonical omega-level mutant Jean Grey, although at that time, the term "omega-level" had not yet been coined.
Storm has the psionic ability to control all forms of weather. She can control wind, lightning, and generate all naturally occurring forms of precipitation. In addition, Storm can reduce or raise the temperature of her environment and use winds to elevate herself and fly at high speeds. Storm is highly immune to the effects of all weather, most notably lightning and extreme heat and cold. Among the more unusual manifestations of her power is the coalescence of toxic atmospheric pollutants into acid rain or toxic fog.
Besides the atmosphere, Storm has additionally demonstrated the ability to control natural forces that include cosmic storms, ocean currents, and electromagnetic energy. On one occasion, Storm manipulates the solar wind to destroy a Sentinel. On another, Storm summons the power of a galactic core to purge a Brood implant from her body. On earth, Storm has used her power to manipulate ocean currents and tides. Storm has shown the ability to alter her visual perceptions so as to see the universe as multi-colored energy patterns, detecting the ebb and flow of energy behind weather phenomena, machines, and nervous systems. During the Marvel event "Civil War," Storm creates an electromagnetic pulse in the brain of Thor's clone. Storm's abilities are limited by her willpower and the strength of her body.
Storm's mutant powers keep her in sync with the weather and her surrounding environment. As a consequence, Storm often suppresses extreme feelings to prevent her emotional state from resulting in violent weather. She has also been shown to be sensitive to the dynamics of the natural world. For example, she has sensed a diseased and dying tree on the X-Men mansion grounds, felt the gravitational exertion of the moon on the tides, and detected the incorrect motion of a hurricane in the Northern Hemisphere.
Beyond weather control, Storm's ancestry provides Ororo with an affinity for 'white' magic; many of Storm's alternate timeline/universe forms possess considerable magical talent. Since Claremont established her backstory in Uncanny X-Men #102 (December 1976), Storm has been additionally portrayed as a skilled thief and a gifted hand-to-hand fighter, trained by Wolverine. In the past, Storm has defeated both Callisto and the Crimson Commando, both highly experienced fighters, in hand-to-hand combat. As part of her paraphernalia, Storm carries a set of lock-picks and her ancestral ruby, which allows inter-dimensional transportation with the help of her lightning.
