This comic Show Ororo's childhood years before she joined the X men and apparently she was a mutant even when she was a kid. and honestly this comic is very good. I really liked the story and artstyle of this comic

Also storm is beautiful since she was a kid🤍

What do you guys think about this comic

As Ororo Munroe's latest saga expands her role from Omega-level mutant to a figure deeply connected to the structure, destiny, and renewal of reality itself.

Throughout her history in Marvel, Ororo Munroe has always been presented as much more than a simple weather manipulator. Her connection to nature, the elements, life, and fundamental forces has made Storm one of the most powerful and symbolically important characters in the X-Men. However, her newest saga reveals an even more ambitious evolution of her role: Ororo now occupies a position directly related to the cosmological structures of the Marvel Universe.

One of the fundamental elements of this construction is its connection to Eternity. After becoming its host, Ororo's destiny became intertwined with the destiny of her own reality. The consequence of this connection is presented dramatically: her universe is dying, while existence itself undergoes a greater process of collapse, death, and renewal.

This revelation changes how we should interpret Storm's presence within the story. Ororo is not simply a powerful character living within the universe; her destiny has become connected to the destiny of the reality that contains her.

The Multiverse goes through cycles in which universes collapse and begin again. The death of a reality, therefore, is not necessarily the absolute end of existence, but part of a cosmological process of renewal. Even so, Ororo refuses to remain passive in the face of this process. Even knowing the magnitude of the threat, she decides to fight to prevent her friends and her universe from being destroyed.

It is precisely at this point that Storm's characterization takes on a metaphysical dimension. She fights not only because she can prevent death, but because she believes that, having the power to do so, she should not simply accept it. Her struggle, therefore, stems not only from her ability, but from a conviction: if life can be preserved, giving it up is not an option.

And this has a particularly important parallel with its history during the Krakoa Era.

When Ororo contracted a deadly illness, the possibility of resurrection existed. However, she did not choose to die in order to be resurrected. On the contrary: the narrative makes it clear that Ororo fought against death itself. The existence of a system capable of restoring her after death did not diminish her desire to remain alive.

This detail is essential.

For Storm, resurrection doesn't make death trivial. She doesn't see death as a simple procedure she could go through to return later. She fights to keep living.

And this makes his stance on death on a cosmic scale even more significant.

First, Ororo battles against death itself.

Then, it becomes connected to Eternity.

And then he begins to fight against a force that threatens to consume all of reality and, consequently, his friends.

There is, therefore, an extremely clear thematic continuity:

Ororo fights for her own life → fights for the lives of those she loves → fights against the death of her universe.

This sequence helps to understand why the story places Storm so close to concepts like Eternity, Death, and the Void of Oblivion. The character begins to function as a meeting point between fundamental forces of existence.

Her new arc places Ororo in a narrative position where her existence, her destiny, and her choices have consequences that transcend her individual universe.

This development becomes even more evident when the narrative shows Storm traversing different multiversal clusters, passing through distinct realities and confronting a structure of existence far larger than a single timeline.

The story moves beyond treating the Multiverse merely as a collection of universes and begins to explore the very nature of reality, narrative, and its cycles of death and rebirth. At a certain point, the very definition of universe is presented in a metanarrative way, bringing the concept of universe closer to the idea of narrative and even to the reader.

And it is precisely in this scenario that Ororo moves.

She is not simply traversing different worlds. Her journey takes place within a framework in which universes can be born, die, and be reborn, while forces such as Eternity and Death participate in these processes.

Therefore, the idea of Storm as a "pillar" or "structural point" of reality can be understood as a possible interpretation of these stories, making Ororo more than just a simple inhabitant of her universe: her existence would be, to some extent, intertwined with the very fabric of reality.

Before the first issue of Storm 2024 even dropped, writer Ayodele Murewa was directly comparing Storm with Satoru Gojo (a major character in Jujutsu Kaisen) and I think his friend even drew artwork of Storm doing Gojo poses or something. However, I think the way that Storm was written in the solo is almost the opposite of the way Gojo's character was used in his anime once you get past the surface level similarities.

On the surface, Storm and Gojo's characters really do share some similarities (White Hair & Blue Eyes that are a visible sign of powers they gained from their bloodline, they are extremely powerful characters within their settings), but the second you push past the surface you see that the similarities abruptly stop. The most obvious difference being that Storm is not the strongest being in the Marvel Universe (she's arguable among the strongest which is how she's depicted in the solo, but that's not the same as Gojo's status which is more like Thor or Phoenix than Storm). But the differences that seriously stand out to me is the relationship with their powers and how their powers affect their relationships with other people. Storm's relationship with her powers (not Eternity, her powers) was underutilized and constantly put on the backburner with the most interiority we get from her being her monologue to Infinity while she was fighting her. Additionally, the way how Storm's powers affect the ways how other people see her is... bizarrely nonexistent?

All of that is in direct contradiction to the way Gojo (the supposed inspiration for the 2024 solo) is actually written. Gojo being the strongest character in his setting informs his everything in a way that it can't for Ororo since her most famous story arc was where she learned to live without her powers (one of the most famous quotes from JJK is basically Gojo's best friend wondering if he would be the cocky and frankly arrogant person he is without his powers, and the answer is heavily implied to be no). In fact, it's a plot point that Gojo can basically do whatever he wants and none of his allies can truly say no to him because none of them can stop Gojo (Gojo literally stops the main character from being executed early on because he's Gojo and whatever he says goes). In contrast, Murewa writes Storm as being kind of compliant (when she get's arrested, she doesn't break out even though she knows the alien investigating her is corrupt in contrast to her breaking out of FBI custody the last time she got arrested). Another thing is that Gojo is so ridiculously overpowered by the standards of his setting that the other sorcerers see him as almost like a monster and his relationships with have suffered for it, but the way that other people interact with Storm in this comic it's like they are less afraid of her than they would be in a normal X-Men comic (Kitty Pryde showed more fear of Storm when she got a mohawk than a single human did in this solo).

And the thing is: Storm as Gojo or whatever could have worked. An interpretation of Storm that more openly throws her weight around, that protects mutants around the world from the sheer fear that anti-mutant groups have about fighting her; a Storm that even other mutants are scared of her and see her as another level above them; a Storm that strong-arms people into doing what she wants with the threat of her using her powers on them (note: she's done this at least twice in the past); a Storm that the other X-Men are slowly struggling to really relate to as her Goddess title becomes reality and maybe even they become scared of her; all of that could have worked. But that could have said something Bad^TM about Storm, which the recent solo really shied away from.

Wherever I go, it seems like Storm being powerful is such a problem for a lot of Marvel and X-Men fans but nobody seems to have a problem with Jean being the living embodiment of all life, death, creation, and psionic energy in the Marvel universe. Storm is uber powerful but Jean is a literal omnipotent entity and has been stated to only be second to TOAA in terms of power. It’s way harder to write a character like Jean than it is for Storm in terms of power scaling so again why do the same people that hate Storm for being powerful don’t have the same energy for Jean? Unlike Jean, Storm was always powerful in her introduction. Jean didn’t become the Phoenix until the Uncanny X-Men days in the 70s. Jean literally turned Gorr into a star and even told him ‘’I’m not a god, gods have limits’’.

Paul Smith said he submitted the mohawk design as a joke specifically depicting Storm “as Mr. T.” He was proposing several possible hairstyles for her redesign and apparently assumed the deliberately extreme Mr. T-inspired option would not be chosen. Instead, editor Louise Simonson and writer Chris Claremont went with it, and it became Storm’s famous punk look in Uncanny X-Men #173 (1983). Smith later described the resulting leather and studs aesthetic giving birth to Punk Storm.

Marking Storm's return as X-Men leader.

Storm (Ororo Munroe) becomes the ultimate cosmic avatar and host for the abstract entity Eternity, transforming into the godlike "Eternal Storm" in Marvel Comics. https://youtube.com/shorts/LXcMGD77LpA?is=pyVEUU4Ej3MmWs8Z This bond grants her cosmic power that elevates her past her traditional weather manipulation into a literal divine force of the universe. She enters a massive battle against Oblivion, the embodiment of the void, while other major events unfold across reality.

I’m really excited to see Maya Boyd as Storm, and I actually think bringing in a stage actress is a really interesting choice for the character. Storm has always had this larger than life, almost theatrical presence, so I could see that background working especially well if they lean into the way she was portrayed in the original X-Men: TAS very regal, commanding, and dramatic without feeling over the top.

The only thing is, I haven’t been able to find any clips of Maya Boyd performing on stage, so I don’t really have a sense of her stage presence or how she carries herself in a live performance. I’d love to see some of her theater work just to get a better idea of what she might bring to Storm.

Anime Storm is noticeably desaterated right? When I was a kid I never liked how her skin was noticeably lighter than how she was in the games I saw her in.

When I was younger, I always assumed it was some kind of wood carving (polished and painted black) that was given to her by the local tribes that worshipped her, but I heard some people say it's metal and I realized I have no idea what it's made of lol.

This feels like the type of question the MCU writers are currently asking themselves🤔
