History Characters / MarvelComicsStorm

* PlatonicLifePartners: Her and Logan. Some fans feel it's more. In the UltimateUniverse, it was... for a while anyway.... [[WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries The 90's series]] have even shown [[Recap/XMenS4E1OneMansWorthPart1 an alternate timeline]] where [[Recap/XMenS4E2OneMansWorthPart2 they were married]]. And now, as of ''ComicBook/{{Wolverine and the X|MenMarvelComics}}-Men'', the relationship has been [[RelationshipUpgrade upgraded]].

** There was a brief ShipTease with Bishop when he joined the X-Men, as well. It made very little sense, smacked of [[Film/TheTerminator Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese,]] and was quickly dropped when the book changed writers. Creator/ChrisClaremont considered hooking them up in X-Treme X-Men, but wanted to avoid the implications of having the only two black characters be romantically involved.

* MamaBear: It's best not to mess with the younger X-Men. In the comics, bringing harm to Kitty is the surest way to earn a beatdown from her. This also extends to her her godchild in the '90s cartoon and nephew Spyke in ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution''.

** She also got hit with this pretty hard in ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen2009''. This is an animated adaptation of the X-Men where she is very timid, [[DemotedToExtra demoted into a background character with small screen time and lines]], prone to getting a TapOnTheHead to keep her from easily winning any fights, and knocked out or incapacitated numerous times more often than other X-Men of the show, which is a ''huge'' contrast from the Storm of the comics as well as the other animated X-Men series, who was one of, if not the last X-Men to be taken down in a fight.

[[WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries The 90's series]] have even shown an alternate timeline where they were married. And now, as of ''Wolverine and the X-Men'', the relationship has been [[RelationshipUpgrade upgraded.]]

-->'''Storm''': Once I would have ridden the wind. Now it drives me. The elements I shaped to my have me at their mercy... And always, the wind - my friend, my servant, taunts me with its fury. It howls, it laughs, it mocks my very being. Without me, Ororo, it cries, you are nothing.

* PragmaticAdaptation: Storm is often de-emphasised or significantly reduced in power in adaptations. Realistically, with the woman who can control the weather in the team, what is the [[ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} guy with laser eyes]], the [[ComicBook/KittyPryde girl who walks through walls]], the [[ComicBook/{{Colossus}} big strong metal man]] or even the [[ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} badass immortal with claws]] going to contribute? The format of a serial comic book can easily accommodate an extremely powerful character within an ensemble cast; while a movie has about two hours to give every fan-favorite character their showcase moment, and a TV series can probably only spare [[ADayInTheLimelight a single episode]] for individual character development. Therefore, Storm will typically be pushed into the background, if only to prevent 99% of X-Men being completely [[OvershadowedByAwesome overshadowed]].'

** She has a ton of subtext with Callisto as well. They toss knives at eachother one moment and look like they're about tear eachother's close off the next.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Well...kinda. It's honestly more a case of TransparentCloset at this point. She obviously loves men, but pretty much nobody believes she is straight.
** A small mountain's worth of subtext with Yukio during the Claremont days, but at the same time he had her strike up a romance with Forge as well.

* AnimalEyes: [[DependingOnTheArtist Occasionally depicted]] with slitted pupils like a cat. It's most prevalent in the 80s.

* GlamourFailure: In the 90s cartoon, she has solid white MonochromaticEyes, a subtle visual hint of her status as a mutant.

%%* HellBentForLeather
%%** Again, during her Mohawk phase and for a brief period after.
%%** The full-body silver-white costume she sported in the animated series.
%%** It's been mentioned in-universe by characters a number of times.
%%* TheHighQueen: Formerly, to Wakanda.

* PhysicalGoddess: She considered herself this at times in her past, due to being worshiped as one, and often uses the term to intimidate her foes, but is in fact a mortal {{Mutant}}, if a very powerful one, and as such is always completely outmatched by ComicBook/TheMightyThor, even repeatedly under Claremont's pen. She is very powerful by human standards, and can potentially cause great natural disasters, but is very far from a world-buster or high level reality-manipulator. Her powers have shown the ability to gradually cause larger-scale weather manipulation than the usual quick-draw local effects. She ''could'' be a world-buster if she were of a mind to be and had time to make it happen, but... there are characters who could do worse in under two seconds. However, she was granted additional power by Loki at one point, and on another was shown as a member of "The Twelve". And in ''WhatIf... the X-Men Had Stayed in Asgard?'', Storm became the new Goddess of Thunder, complete with her own {{Mjolnir}}.

* TheAce: Storm is ridiculously, unapologetically good at EVERYTHING. First she’s an Omega level mutant who controls the weather and [[StrongAndSkilled she’s trained herself to absolute precision]]. Think taking those powers away will keep her from kicking your ass? [[BroughtDownToBadass Guess Again]]. She’s a master at hand to hand combat and has handed many their asses without her powers. She’s also such a good leader that Cyclops considers her his role model. She’s also whip smart. Brilliant tactician and able to assist Moira and Beast in their science. And as a child she was a great pickpocket who survived on her own. Lastly as Regent of Sol, and member of the Great Ring of Arakko, she spent her days defending her seat against powerful war seasoned Arakkii mutants, some of which were Omega Level Mutants themselves. She won every time, even against the Omega level Gene-manipulator Tarn after he depowered her and mutilated her body. This earned so much respect from him that he returned her to the way she was. Her most recent great feat [[spoiler:is taking down War and Famine, two Omega level elemental manipulating who have thousands of years of war & combat experience on her. Bear in mind these are Apocalypse children and original Horsemen whom he considers his best and Storm beat them with ease.]] It would actually take less time to name the things she’s not good at.

* LikeASonToMe: Quickly began seeing Kitty as a surrogate daughter. Less so once Kitty matured.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Her and ComicBook/{{Gambit}}, more so early on in his tenure than now, but they are still very close.

* MamaBear: It's best not to mess with the younger X-Men. And more specifically with her godchild in the '90s cartoon and nephew Spyke in ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution''. In the comics, bringing harm to Kitty is the surest way to earn a beatdown from her.

* TheLeader: If Cyclops is not leading the team, chances are high that Storm is. She is mostly a type IV, as she is highly inspirational and really good with people.

** How Storm beat ComicBook/WonderWoman in the ''DC vs. Marvel'' crossover (it'd be one thing if it was shooting lightning from fifty yards away, but she fought her ''hand to hand'', despite not having SuperStrength herself.)

** She and [[ComicBook/BlackPanther T'Challa]] had to hash out their issues, but they are on excellent terms post-divorce. [[spoiler: They are romantically involved as of the Ta-Nehisi Coates BP run, but WordOfGod holds that they won't get married again.]]

* ThouShaltNotKill: Storm was almost raped in Kenya when she was younger and [[ChastityDagger killed the man with a knife]]. After the trauma from that incident, she swore that she would never take another life. She has loosened up more and more with this restriction since the 90s. While she prefers to be merciful, she has no problems with killing those who really need killing.

* ThouShaltNotKill: Storm was almost raped in Kenya when she was younger and [[ChastityDagger killed the man with a knife]]. After the trauma from that incident, she swore that she would never take another life. She's lightened up from this restriction, for the most part she still adheres to it to the best of her ability.

'''Storm''', a.k.a. Ororo Munroe, a weather-controlling mutant and one of the most famous members of the Franchise/XMen. She first appeared in ''Giant-Size X-Men #1'' (May, 1975), created by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum. Ororo 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 an African princess who married 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, during the Arab-Israeli conflict, a plane crashed into their home. Ororo's parents were killed, but she survived, buried under rubble near her mother's body. The resultant trauma left Ororo with severe claustrophobia that still affects her today.
