Personality

X-Men Storm

Storm is fiercely protective of Professor X, Jean Grey, and the students under her care. She reacts immediately when Su Quan disrespects the Professor and repeatedly places herself in danger to protect others. 368 391 393

Despite injury and overwhelming opposition, she refuses to surrender responsibility to someone else. During Magneto's campaign, she insists that being wounded is no justification for giving up. 376

Young Ororo

Young Ororo is street-smart, guarded, and initially fearful when confronted by strangers with power over her. Her theft is motivated partly by her responsibility toward orphaned children living around her. 472 473

After receiving Su Quan's offer, she chooses to trust in the prospect of a better life and ensures the children are financially provided for before leaving Cairo. 473 474

Seven Storm

The Seven variant is confident, provocative, and attracted to displays of overwhelming strength. She initiates a confrontation with Su Quan, then willingly honors the terms of her challenge after losing. 641 642

She is also ambitious and pragmatic: after Su Quan reveals knowledge of her past and goals, she agrees to work with him in pursuit of restoring Nazi Will. 643

Abilities & Skills

Weather Manipulation

X-Men Storm can summon and direct wind, dark clouds, thunder, and lightning. Her weather control is the source of her codename. 368

• Fires lightning powerful enough to knock Juggernaut away and eliminate Multiplex's clones. 379
• Uses high winds to disrupt Angel's flight and assist her teammates in battle. 379
• Extinguishes flames threatening Colossus after Proteus's attack. 391
• Young Ororo demonstrates the same weather-related potential by creating a sand-carrying gust to facilitate a theft. 472
• Su Quan can completely nullify X-Men Storm's weather control. 368
• Proteus's reality warping converts her lightning into rose petals and temporarily leaves her unable to access her powers while falling. 389 391

Lightning Manipulation

The Seven variant generates and projects purple lightning. 641

• Her lightning can damage nearby electronics and illuminate an entire room. 641
• She possesses ranged offensive capability, flight, and durability sufficient to endure Homelander's heat vision. 641 642
• Su Quan can seize control of her lightning and redirect it back at her. 641
• Her close-quarters fighting ability is poor compared with her ranged threat; Su Quan defeats her with a single finger strike and shatters her arm. 642
• Su Quan restores her severed arm within seconds. 642

Combat Leadership

X-Men Storm serves as a field leader during the confrontation with Magneto's Brotherhood at the Statue of Liberty. 378

• Leads the X-Men into Magneto's base beneath the Statue of Liberty. 378
• Coordinates with Jean Grey, Shadowcat, Petra, Iceman, Human Torch, and Colossus. 379 380
• Recognizes the urgency of stopping Magneto's weather-control machine even while facing stronger opponents. 380

Street Survival

Before joining the Void Guard, young Ororo survives in Cairo through theft, caution, and a sharp awareness of danger. 472 473

• Uses her abilities discreetly to create distractions while stealing. 472
• Supports and protects a group of street children with the money she obtains. 473 474
• Sells Su Quan's golden welcome gift and distributes the proceeds before departing Egypt. 474

History

Encounter with Su Quan and Magneto

While returning from a mission with Jean Grey, X-Men Storm finds Magneto already defeated and humiliated by Su Quan. When Su Quan mocks Professor X, Storm demands that he show respect and attacks with her weather powers. Su Quan immediately disperses her storm and throws her aside after obtaining her weather-manipulation ability. 368

Storm later accompanies Jean when Jean seeks Su Quan's help controlling the Phoenix Force. She directly asks what he wants in return, but rejects his demand that she remain with him as payment; Su Quan teleports both women away. 369

Xavier Institute Conflict

At Xavier's School, Storm confronts Su Quan and his empowered Nightcrawler. Nightcrawler overwhelms her with superior speed, avoids her lightning, and incapacitates her before she can properly respond. 370 371

She remains focused on the students' safety when an uncontrolled lightning strike threatens them, though Su Quan ultimately absorbs and redirects the attack himself. 371

Battle Against Magneto

Storm joins Jean Grey and the X-Men in the operation to stop Magneto's machine at the Statue of Liberty. She uses lightning and wind against the Brotherhood, assists in neutralizing Angel and Multiplex, and helps support the team while Shadowcat disrupts the machine's power supply. 378 379 380

Proteus Attack

When Proteus attacks the Xavier Institute, Storm attempts to protect the students and confront him directly. Proteus counters her lightning with reality warping, inverts her gravity, and sends her into a lethal fall. 391

Jean Grey overcomes her fear of the Phoenix Force to save Storm. Afterward, Storm helps assess the wounded X-Men and later moves to shield Su Quan when Proteus attempts to possess him. 392 393

After Su Quan resolves the immediate threat and removes the X-Men's greatest concerns about leaving the school behind, Storm agrees to follow him willingly—but challenges him to make her choose him wholeheartedly. Su Quan accepts and takes her to another world. 394

Recruitment of Young Ororo

Twenty years later on Void Island, Su Quan observes a younger Ororo in Cairo. She is caught stealing after using wind and sand as a distraction, but Lauren and Raven intervene to rescue her from armed pursuers. 472

Su Quan reveals that she is a mutant and invites her to join his group. Ororo accepts after considering the children dependent on her, receiving a gold plate that she later sells to provide for them. 473 474

After settling her affairs, she travels from Egypt to the United States with Big Blink and joins the Void Guard. 474

The Seven and the Sagebrush Sanatorium

In another setting, Storm joins The Seven under President Edgar's authority, immediately creating tension with Madelyn. 640

She attacks Su Quan with lightning, challenges him after he redirects it, and is decisively defeated in close combat. Following the loss, she agrees to take him to the Sagebrush Sanatorium. 641 642

At the sanatorium, Su Quan exposes her identity as Liberty Belle and reveals that he knows her connection to Compound V, Nazi Will, and the adult Compound V experiments. Storm ultimately agrees to work with him and offers information on Compound V research before returning to Vought International. 643
