History

Storm is the descendant of an ancient line of African priestesses, all of whom have white hair, blue eyes, and the potential to wield magic. Her mother, N'Dare, was the princess of a tribe in Kenya. She married the American photojournalist David Munroe and moved with him to Manhattan, where Ororo was born.

When Ororo was six months old, she and her parents moved to Cairo, Egypt. Five years later, a bomb destroyed their home. Ororo's parents were killed, but she survived, buried under rubble near her mother's body. This traumatizing effect left Ororo with the severe claustrophobia that still afflicts her today.

Early Years

Ororo managed to escape the rubble of her shattered home with nothing but the tattered clothes on her back and her mother's ancestral ruby. Homeless and orphaned, Ororo was found by a gang of street urchins who took her to their master, Achmed el-Gibar. Achmed trained Ororo in the arts of thievery and she soon became his prize pupil, excelling in picking both pockets and locks. During her time in Cairo, Ororo picked the pocket of an American tourist. The man proved no easy mark, however, as he was Charles Xavier, a powerful mutant telepath who used his abilities to stop the theft. At that moment, Xavier was psionically attacked by another mutant and Ororo used the opportunity to escape

Storm in her youth

Years later, feeling a strong urge to wander south, Ororo left Cairo. During her travels, Ororo naively accepted a ride from a complete stranger and was almost raped by him. Forced to defend herself, Ororo killed the man. From that moment, she swore never to take another human life. Ororo wandered for thousands of miles, almost dying during her trek across the Sahara Desert. Her mutant ability to psionically control the weather emerged soon after, and she was able to use them to rescue T'Challa, a prince of the African nation of Wakanda, from his would-be kidnappers. The pair spent much time together, however T'Challa's duties as a prince prevented them from further exploring their burgeoning mutual attraction.

Finally, Ororo reached her ancestors' homeland on the Serengeti Plain in Kenya. She was taken in by an elderly tribal woman named Ainet who taught her to be responsible with her powers. Ororo soon came to be the object of worship of the local tribes who believed her to be a goddess due to her gift.

The X-Men

Years later, Ororo was forced to battle the threat of a fellow mutant weather manipulator known as Deluge, who sought revenge against humanity. With the help of several members of the team of mutant heroes known as the X-Men, Deluge was seemingly destroyed and Ororo returned to her life amongst the tribal people. The X-Men subsequently told their founder, Professor Xavier, about Storm but he declined to contact her at this point, not wanting to shock the young woman with the true nature of her powers.

Months later, however, Xavier was left with no choice but to recruit Storm and other mutants from around the world into the X-Men in order to rescue his original students from the threat of the sentient island being known as Krakoa. Xavier explained to Ororo that she was not a "goddess," but a mutant, and as such she had a responsibility to use her abilities to help the world just as she had helped the local tribes. Curious, Ororo accepted Xavier's offer, and was given the codename "Storm." After most of the original team left for a time, Ororo, along with fellow new recruits Nightcrawler, Colossus, Wolverine, and Banshee, stayed as members of the new X-Men. Storm remained with the X-Men for years, and encountered adversaries such as Proteus, Magneto, the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, the Juggernaut, demons from the dimension of Limbo, and even Dracula on one occasion.

Storm was initially very naive when it came to the customs of the modern world, but her team mate Jean Grey helped educate her in the ways of society and the pair formed a lasting friendship. Jean was also one of the first X-Men to learn of Storm's claustrophobia after the two women chased a thief into the subway.

After serving with the team for many years, Storm was appointed leader of the team following the departure of former leader Cyclops after the apparent death of Jean. Storm was initially unsure about her new role, but with the support of her team-mates she soon became a capable leader. When Cyclops eventually returned to the team, Storm found herself doubting her leadership abilities once more after a mission she led went wrong. However, she soon asserted her position, reminding Cyclops that she was now team leader.

Later, after the X-Men were captured and taken into space by the insectoid alien race known as the Brood, Storm fought back but her powers flared out of control. She discovered that she had been implanted with a Brood egg that would hatch and transform her into one of the aliens. Now wanting to unleash such an evil into the world, Storm attempted to commit suicide by channeling all of the surrounding stellar energy into her own body, destroying the Brood embryo but leaving her drifting unprotected in space. She would have died in the vacuum had it not been for a member of the Acanti, a race of spacefaring whale-like creatures that had been enslaved by the Brood. The Acanti that saved Storm was revealed to be the caretaker of the soul of his entire race who had lost his mother to the Brood and needed guidance. Storm agreed to let her consciousness guide the young Acanti whilst it healed her damaged body, and, after the Brood were defeated, a restored Storm returned home with the X-Men.

Storm (Ororo Munroe)

Soon after, the X-Men encountered the underground community of mutants known as the Morlocks who had kidnapped one of their former members, Angel. To save her friends, Storm challenged the Morlock leader Callisto to a duel and bested her in hand-to-hand combat. As a result, Storm became leader of the Morlocks and she ordered them to cease their hostilities against the surface-dwelling humans.

When the X-Men later traveled to Japan to attend the wedding of their team member Wolverine, Storm first met the ninja named Yukio. A friend of Wolverine's, Yukio was the most carefree spirit that Ororo had ever met and the two became fast friends. Yukio influenced a major rebellious change in Storm's attitude towards life, and she took to wearing leather and shaved her hair into a Mohawk.

Storm later had her powers accidentally neutralized by a gun invented by the mutant machinist named Forge, who took it upon himself to nurse Storm back to health. During her convalescence, Storm and Forge fell in love but their relationship was cut short after Storm learned Forge had created the device that stripped her of her powers.

Storm subsequently quit the X-Men and returned to Africa where she finally came to terms with losing her mutant ability. Returning to Cairo, Storm joined Xavier's newest team of young mutants, the New Mutants, in an adventure into the past during which Storm met one of her ancestors who helped the heroes return to their own time. Storm and the New Mutants were subsequently captured by the Asgardian trickster god Loki who sought to use Storm in one of his schemes to discredit his half-brother, the thunder god Thor, by restoring her abilities and brainwashing her into believing she was a goddess. With the aid of the X-Men, Storm was able to reject Loki's gifts, thus thwarting his plan.

Storm returned to the X-Men to find herself being challenged to a duel for leadership of the team by Cyclops. Despite her still being powerless, she won and Cyclops quit the team. Soon after, the X-Men and the Hellfire Club formed an alliance to combat the growing threats against mutants that saw Storm share the position of White King with a reformed Magneto. The alliance was to be short-lived, however, after Storm decided that in order to safeguard their friends and families from their many enemies, the X-Men must fake their deaths and become an underground proactive strike force. Soon Storm realized that she needed her powers restored and so she sought out Forge for his help. She found Forge's old mentor Naze instead, who informed her that Forge had been corrupted by his nemesis, the Adversary, and was seeking to destroy the world. Unbeknown to Storm, the Adversary had actually corrupted Naze. When Storm finally located Forge, she found him atop a mountain seemingly opening a dimensional portal filled with demons. Storm struck Forge down, and only then realized he had been attempting to close the portal, not open it. The Adversary then trapped Storm and Forge in the other dimension and seized control of Dallas, warping time and space in order to foment chaos on Earth.

Storm and Forge spent a year on an alternate Earth, during which time they made peace and admitted their love for one another. Forge used components from his cybernetic leg to fashion a new device that restored Storm's powers which she then used to energize a portal back to their own world. They rejoined the X-Men in time to defeat the Adversary, imprisoning him at the cost of their own lives. However, the Omniversal Guardian named Roma restored the X-Men to life, freeing the Adversary under the notion that there could be no order without chaos.

Soon after, Storm was captured by the crazed scientist known as Nanny who sought to use Storm's abilities in her quest to liberate the world's super-powered children by making orphans of them. Nanny used her technology to de-age Storm to her pre-teens and strip her memories so as to better sway the mutant to her cause. However, Storm fought back and overloaded Nanny's device. Once more a child with no memories of her life as an X-Man, the young Storm returned to her life as a thief. On one caper, she found herself the target of the psychic being known as the Shadow King but was saved by a fellow mutant and thief named Gambit. The pair formed a partnership and, after Storm regained her memories, she took Gambit to meet the X-Men.

Storm was eventually restored to adulthood after the X-Men were captured by agents of the island nation of Genosha who used mutants as slaves. Storm underwent the mutate transformation process, however the Genoshan Genegineer and Chief Magistrate were members of a rebel faction. They restored Storm's body and mind, and the X-Men were able to defeat their aggressors.

Soon after, the X-Men were reformed into two separate strike teams, with Cyclops and Storm as co-leaders. Forge aided both teams as their resident technician, however this left little time for them to rekindle their relationship. Forge still asked Storm to marry him, but she hesitated on giving a reply. Forge was left thinking she did not truly love him and he left before she could respond with a "yes."

Months later, the eternal mutant Apocalypse made a bid for power by gathering together The Twelve, a group of mutants prophesied to usher in a golden age for their kind that counted Storm amongst their number. Apocalypse was defeated, but not before the ultimate extent of Storm's mutant power was revealed in an alternate future wherein she had evolved into a wholly elemental being.

Not long after, Storm and five of her team mates formed a splinter group of X-Men, cutting all ties with the rest of the team to search for the diaries of the blind mutant seer Destiny that mapped the future of mutants. During a mission in Australia, Storm was reunited with Gambit who sought to obtain her mother's ruby. It was revealed that the ruby was part of a set that, when empowered, could open a portal between dimensions. Several of the gems had already gone missing, and Gambit wished to ensure that Storm's ruby remained safe. At that moment, the other-dimensional warrior named Shaitan attacked, capturing Gambit and stealing the ruby. Shaitan used the gems and Gambit's mutant ability to empower them, thus opening a portal allowing the armies of his master, Khan, to pass through and invade Earth.

Storm's X-Men opposed the invaders, but she was seriously injured by Madripoor's ruling crimelord Viper and was subsequently taken prisoner by Khan himself. The warlord intended for Storm to be his queen, and commanded his physicians to heal her. Storm attempted to seduce Khan into calling off his invasion whilst her team mates fought to close the portal. Khan's other concubines grew jealous of Storm's advances and attempted to kill her. Despite her injuries, Storm prevailed and escaped, rejoining her team mates as they destroyed the portal.

During her subsequent recuperation, which required her to undertake physical therapy to heal her back and legs, Storm and her team were asked back to the mansion to rejoin the core X-Men team. Storm declined, however, believing that there was still work for her team to do. During a world summit to address the increasing hostilities between humans and mutants, Storm offered her X-Men team's services to the United Nations as a global mutant police force, the X-Treme Sanctions Executive.

Storm's first mission would be a solo one as she was charged with infiltrating and exposing an underground slave trading network that forced mutants to fight in gladiator-style arenas. Soon after, Storm and her team returned to Westchester to help rebuild the mansion following an attack by Magneto and stayed on to continue their new direction.

Following the events of "M-Day," when the majority of the world's mutants lost their powers, Storm left the X-Men to return to Africa in order to safeguard depowered mutants.

Marriage

Storm & Black Panther (T'Challa)

When the X-Men journeyed to Niganda to investigate reports of mutant animals, they ran into Black Panther. At the end of the mission, Storm stayed in Niganda to help the mutants affected there. During this time she came into conflict with an African Colonel named Shetani, who was hunting down and killing de-powered mutants in search of Storm. When she finally confronted him, he revealed to her that he was her uncle. Afterward, Shetani told Storm of a hidden village in Northwest Kenya where she met her grandmother for the first time. This finally prompted her to accept the Black Panther's marriage proposal.

The marriage between Storm and the Black Panther is one of the major events of the Civil War tie-in books with characters Iron Man and Captain America showing up for the wedding but leaving before the ceremony because neither of them could stand the sight of each other. Earlier, Charles Xavier makes an appearance, telling Storm that as the queen of Wakanda, she was now the most important mutant in the world, and the living symbol of human/mutant relations. A role, he was quoted as saying, she was born to play. When they are married, their essences are taken to the spirit world to seek the approval of the Panther God. Storm soon finds she cannot use her power in this plane. The Panther God accepts her into T'Challa's family. While searching through girls, the newlyweds learn from Doctor Doom, via a holographic message, invites the newlyweds to his country.

T'Challa and Ororo temporarily join the Fantastic Four after the Civil War ends and Dr. Richards and Sue Storm reconcile their damaged relationship.

After the Fantastic Four, the Wakandans realize that the Skrulls have infiltrated their population. When the first ground troops arrive and are shot down, a ground battle commences. T'Challa orders Storm to "stick to the plan" and departs quickly, leaving her husband behind.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Storm is an Omega Level Mutant

Atmokinesis: Storm is a mutant who possesses the psionic ability to manipulate the weather. Her abilities allow her to shift her awareness and see the world as multi-colored energy patterns that she can mentally control. They also allow Ororo to feel the shift in the air which has came in good use against entering other dimensions (Black Panther 27) and sensing the approach of objects as big as helicopters (Black Panther 15).

• Hydrokinesis: She can stimulate the creation of any form of precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, hail, fog) and even sense the composition of rainwater (Storm 2). Her manipulation of water has ranged from controlling ocean currents (XMU 6 and 39, Wolverine 38) to using raindrops as a lens to filtering out certain forms of solar energy (XMHY 6). She also has shown the ability to sense the movement of object while in the darkness of the ocean.

• Aerokinesis: She can create winds of different strengths, ranging from a simple breeze to hurricane force (120+ mph) winds; she has produced winds that have been known to hammer starships (UXM 277), and even level the Fantastic Four's Fanasticar (Fantastic Four VS. X-men #3). Her finite control over the winds has vary from the precise rabid movement of a basketball sized object (Storm 4) to holding a multi-level building in mid-air (CoTC2 #2), to even levitating a rock as small as a pebble (X-treme X-men 39). Storm's control over the air also allows her to manipulate air pressure, creating powerful pressure domes to deflect attacks such as gunfire and falling debris(UXM 283) she has even drove through a mountain to it's surface with this technique.

• Thermokinesis/Cryokinesis: Storm can raise or lower the humidity and temperature (ranging from -128F to 134F) around her. By mixing these two abilities Storm has been known to encase opponents within ice, going as far as holding Colossus in a block of ice (at the time, a Class 80 tons character) UXMA 6.

• Lightning: She can create lightning-like effects and other electrical atmospheric phenomena by drawing energy from the Earth�s electromagnetic field and casting it outwardly through her body (i.e. ball lightning, lightning bolts, Electromagnetic fields, electrolysis fields etc�); in certain accounts she has been known to generate electrical energy from within. Storm�s lightning attacks can vary from a bio-electric sting of 100,000 volts, which is strong enough to stun a person, to a fully charged lightning bolt, which have been shown to even effect the Silver Surfer (SS 85). (AN: It should be noted, that Storm rarely strike anything with a fully charged lightning bolt, which can reach temperatures close to 2 or 3 times the surface of the sun and contain over 1,000,000 volts of electricity). Outside of her ability to cast electrical energy from her person, Storm has shown the ability to manipulate the electrical energy within computer systems, see the brains electrical signals, scramble the telepathic powers of others and separate hydrogen molecules from oxygen molecules. (Gambit 2, UXM 152, XMU 7 and XXM 2). Storm's electrical powers have been used in a variety of ways. Some which include summoning lightning brighter than the sun (Uncanny X-men Annual 10) to causing a room full of people to not be able to see (Uncanny X-men 273).

• Flight: Storm can fly through the air by causing herself to be supported and propelled by wind currents. Her control is so great that only a small breeze can be felt by her fellow X-Men as she flies by them. Storm can travel as fast as any wind can, and has reached speeds up to 300 miles per hours. She has traveled at speeds that only jet's can match (Uncanny X-men 386). Her powers over the atmosphere enable her to breath at any speed, protecting her from air friction and extreme cold. Storm can carry aloft an as yet undetermined amount of weight while being born aloft by the winds.

• Weather Prediction: Storm has the added ability to know the patterns of weather by instinct so that any given time, she can predict the weather on any planet she is on.

• Body Temperature Control: ability to change her internal and external body temperature to match that of the current outside atmosphere, so that she wont suffer any ill effects from the change of atmosphere. The ability is involuntary and natural, although somewhat limited.

• Telepathic Resistance: It is believed that do to the nature of Storm's powers that there is always static electricity going through her brain, which makes it harder to reach her telepathically. Even Professor X has trouble contacting her. If she is using her powers it is even more difficult, sometimes even causing pain. She once withstood the combined efforts of Professor X, Pyslocke, and Oracle, all powerful telepaths.

• Flash Freeze Storms ability to control atmospheric temperature allows her to instantly freeze or heat objects or foes. Storm has flash frozen Colossus, when he attempted to stop her from apprehending his sister, Illyana. She has also performed this on her escape from The Hellfire Club in Paris when they trapped her in a tough, thick webbing that had wrapped around her entire body, but her left arm.

• Sorcery (Potentially): Considering Storm is from a line of African Priestesses she has the potential to use sorcery. She was never taught to use this 'White' magic, most likely because she never knew anyone to explain the ancestral knowledge required. Though Strom has not shown this ability in this timeline, it is known that in an alternate timeline she was well versed in it, and in fact is the one that taught Magik (Illyana Rasputin) 'white' magic. Storm possesses considerable potential magical abilities, having been born of a long line of white haired, blue-eyed priestesses. The number of magical effects that she can create has yet to be cataloged, but it is known that she can cast and counteract spells and heal, teleport, astral travel, shield, transform matter and fire eldritch energy.

• Electrical Sight: Storm is also able to alter her visual perception so as to perceive electrical energy patterns as well as those factors responsible for existing meteorological phenomena in her surrounding environment. This ability grants Storm an edge in any combat situation as she is able to see the electrical impulse generated my the human nervous system and thus able to predict her opponent's movements a split second before they happen. This power possibly explains why Storm was able to best Callisto in hand to hand combat over leadership of the Morlocks when clearly Callisto is stronger, faster and a more skilled hand to hand combatant.

• Earth-Link: Storm's mutant powers has created a psychic bond between herself and the primal life force of Earth�s biosphere. This bond with the Earth and apparently the entire universe, gives Storm spiritual and material sustenance with an almost empathic sense towards living thing. Her bond with the biospheres while in outer space somehow allowed her to reverse her transformation into a brood queen, summon a solar flare and the ability and call upon a large amount of cosmic energy (UXM 165).

She can disperse natural storms so as to create clear weather. Storm can cause the weather to change in an area around her, or she could create atmospheric effects in a beam-like path from her hand or hands: for example she often projects lightning bolts from her hands. Her control over the atmosphere is such that she can create certain effects over a specific area, while shielding smaller areas within the larger area from them (Ultimate X-men 47): for example she could create a rainstorm around herself but prevent rain water from touching her.

The limits to the size of the area over which Storm can manipulate the weather is not yet known. They actually vary on certaint occasions. She has summoned dark clouds stretching one mile in each direction (Uncanny X-men 109). She has diverted jet streams so as to create storms over the entire East Coast of the United States (UXM 147). (AN: It should be noted that Storm has on two occasions tapped into electromagnetic energy to enhance her powers. Once to stop a blizzard over Canada and second to create a cosmic-level turbulence around the Earth to block solar radiation(UXM 121, MSH Winter Special 1991). She can create weather effects within indoor areas or within artificially maintained environments: for example she could create an indoor rainstorm. She can create weather effects over very small areas; as when she water her potted planets.

Limitation: The weather in Storm's immediate vicinity varied with her emotions. Storm clouds could gather overhead for example, if she became displeased, As a result, Storm has kept a tight rein on all extreme emotion. Storm's ability to control the weather is limited by her force of will and the strength of her body. It once took her several hours to put an end to a savage blizzard sweeping over much of Canada, and she nearly killed herself from exhaustion in the process. Storm has to manipulate weather patterns as they naturally exist. For example she could end a drought in one area by creating a torrential rain storm there, but she would necessitate robbing all available moisture from the surrounding area. Storm cannot create atmospheric conditions that cannot exist naturally on the planet she is on (This is now up for debate seeing that she created a Javon Pressure Field). She could not, for example lower the temperature as far as absolute zero or raises them to solar intensities. Storm�s power are linked to the planet and have been hampered by strong electromagnetic shifts to the Earth. Storm also needs wide open space to take full advantage of her powers.

Abilities

Expert Thief: Extraordinary ability at picking locks and pockets, escape artist; therefore, she is very stealthy and good at sneaking up on people.

Expert Combatant: She is an experienced hand-to-hand combatant, trained by Wolverine. She is also an extraordinary marksman with handguns.

Expert Gardener: Ororo is also an excellent gardener owing to her supernatural abilities and has her own botanical gardens at the Xavier Mansion.

High Influential Connections: As Queen of Wakanda, Storm has access to a vast collection of magical artifacts, technological and military hardware (including Vibranium), as well as the support of the nation's wide array of scientists, adventurers, and superheroes.

Diplomatic Immunity: As the leader of a sovereign nation, Storm often visits the United States or the United Nations for political reasons. She enjoys diplomatic immunity during these trips, and her embassy is considered foreign soil.

Strength level

Normal human woman who engages in intensive regular exercise

Weaknesses

Claustrophobia

Emotional Influence: Storm's ability to manipulate the weather in her immediate vicinity is affected by her emotions; hence, if she does not maintain control, a fit of rage might induce a destructive storm. As a result, Storm has in the past kept a tight rein on all extreme emotions.

Physical Condition: Storm is limited by the force of her will and the strength of her body. It once took her several hours to put an end to a savage blizzard sweeping over much of Canada, and she nearly killed herself from exhaustion in the process.

Naturally Occurring Limitation: Storm must manipulate weather patterns as they naturally exist. For example, she could end a drought in one area by creating torrential rains there, but that would necessitate robbing all available moisture from the surrounding area. (In contrast, Thor, whose weather affecting ability is magical, can change the weather in one area without disrupting existing weather patterns anywhere else). Storm cannot create atmospheric conditions that cannot exist naturally on the planet she is on. She could not, for example, lower temperatures as far as absolute zero or raise them to solar intensities.

Astral Projection: In the Spirit World, Storm's powers are useless as they exist in her body, not her spiritual essence.

Paraphernalia

Equipment: Storm often carries lock picks. Also formerly a knife for protection when she lost her powers.
Transportation: X-Men Blackbird, formerly X-Men Stratojet
Weapons: Keeps a large knife and staff for necessary occasions

Notes

• Storm was formerly in a serious relationship with Forge.
• Storm lost her virginity to Black Panther, as teenagers.
• Storm is claustrophobic due to her traumatic childhood experiences in Cairo.
  
• Ororo was best friends with Jean Grey.

Trivia

• Storm was originally conceived by Dave Cockrum as "the Black Cat", a character who could transform into a feline creature or a house cat. The character was shelved for a time, along with the rest of new X-Men project, and ultimately made redundant by the large number of cat-themed characters that had been introduced in the interim. When the project resumed, it was decided that the team needed another female character, and Roy Thomas suggested replacing the weather-controlling Typhoon with a female equivalent. Cockrum then quickly outline the idea for Storm, leaving the Black Cat costume unchanged but changing the character's hair from brunette to white.^[1]
• The name "Ororo" means "Beauty" ^[2]
