Storm

The X-Men’s field leader on many an occasion and a true mutant veteran if there ever was one, Storm is the mistress of the elements. She can whip up a storm (quiet literally) or rain on your parade (again, literally). She’s arguably one of the most powerful mutants out there.

Starting out life in grandiose fashion as a Kenyan princess, Storm’s parents met their untimely end as a plane crashes into her home in Cairo, Egypt. Orphaned and alone, Storm, real name Ororo Monroe, becomes a pickpocket and as thief in the slums. There she meets her future mentor Charles Xavier and her future husband, T’Challa; the Black Panther.

In the Serengeti, Storm first learns of her powers, controlling the weather before being taught how to use them responsibly and with control by a witch-doctor named Ainet. Learning how to disturb rain properly without throwing off the balance of nature, Storm is worshiped as a goddess by a tribe before reencountering Xavier who invites her into the X-Men.

Established as a potential future leader and as a strong character, Storm is developed as a motherly figure for many of the young X-Men. She is also seen as a desirable queen for many rulers and warlords with the Shadow King, Dr. Doom and Dracula all taking a fancy to her, but ultimately she settles down with the Black Panther and they rule Wakanda and King and Queen.

She also has the power to clear the skies though and prevent nature from taking and ugly turn too.
