Storm where is she?

[cap5]

She has been absent in the X-men durring MC,Is She still with the X-men?And when was she last seen in the X-men
I just want to understand the wereabots of storm thease days

[XYagentguy]

She's married to the black panther and is regularly in his comic at the moment. She was in MC, but played no major role whatsoever.

I hope she comes back to the X-Men now that MC is over.

I think it's really lame such a pivatel and strong X-character has been absent from the books for months and months.

It shouldn't be funny but it IS.

Storm is currently being written better than she's ever been written under the masterful pen of Reginald Hudlin.

She's gone from being a tired,clapped out character to the exalted Goddess she was always intended to be.

Truly Reginald Hudlin is the black Alan Moore.

-Twi

[Slant]

Truly Reginald Hudlin is the black Alan Moore.

-Twi

Ha, you've got it wrong.

Alan Moore is the white Reginald Hudlin.\


lol

[twilight]

Ha, you've got it wrong.

Alan Moore is the white Reginald Hudlin.

I didn't want to hit the board with too much truth at one time.

LONG LIVE HUDLIN!

Storm is within you.

[Croaker]

Storm will be back in the X-Men. It might even be sooner than anyone thinks. Black Panther sales are not stellar despite having a superb artist and high profile writer on it. Storm is an X-(Wo)Man and always will be.

[xgeek52]

how do i put this...ororo is one of my favorite characters but right now she's being used as abused...

i read everything leading up to the 'wedding of the century' and then i went on hiatus so it wasn't my place to comment...but i've read the last four issues of black panther and i almost choked...

now maybe her appearence in messiah she who she is the character i remember but in panther, she ain't it...

so the question begs -- where is she...

Careful there... The Hudlinites would take great offense on that, and claim this criticism to be part of some kind of evil white man agenda to drag Ororo away from her perfect soul mate Black Panther.

I don't understand why that bothers you. She was worshiped as a goddess, and she has ascended to godhood on a few occasions.

[rage6839]

Did Hudlin get exclusive rites to Storm or do the current X-writers don't know what to do with her? She was wallpaper in MC and I don't recall her being a focal point in the X-Universe since X-Treme. Because if Wolverine and others can be in multiple books, surely Marvel's premiere female can pull it off as well.

[xgeek52]

the hudlinites know where i stand...i have stated thus...

while i have never been a fan of black panther -- and they know this -- my issue is and always will be taking a strong character and planting her in a book that has never worked..

[xgeek52]

no rage he didn't...and the x writers have always known what to do with her...

the thing of it is that ever since hom and decimation (actually before that) they have acted on the stupid side...

black panther has never been a strong book...i repesect hudlin as a writer but i don't/haven't like what has been done to ororo as a character prior to her going over to panther and since...

look at her in any of the x-books --especially xtreme and tell me she's not a shadow of her former self in panther...

[GoingGreen]

LOL

It bothers me because she isn't a goddess. She's a mutant. Doesn't matter if it's "Mutant formerly known as Goddess" or whatever... she isn't a goddess. It makes Storm fans seem even more fanatical and fanboyesque, trying to make her seem even more powerful than she is.

I just don't get why people can't be satisfied with Storm being one of the most powerful mutants in the MU. No. They have to turn her into a goddess. Lame.

EDIT: Let's put it this way: She isn't a goddess now, but people still call her a goddess, even though she only had god-like powers for a short time. Storm's also been DEpowered for a while, but you don't see people calling her a flatscan do you?

She also can't time travel via the weather. Just so you guys know.

[IronKing]

She is being written well by Hudlin, but she's an X-Woman. Bring her back. She was being written well the last few years, anyways. For a while there she was probably the most significant of the whole team. I'll never forget that Ryan Land cover. Even got it signed. =)

[Slung]

There is only one 'Hudlinite' who would respond in such a manner, and he no longer frequents these boards.

If you've ever "experienced" the Hudlin forum, you would know that there is more than one Hudlinite that would respond thus - its just they send one ambassador to educate this forum and then he comes back and they all laugh about how they riled up this board with their "truth". Its weird and scary.

[Brian M.]

Reminds me of Magneto/Magneto Family fans.

Magneto was right. S'all's I'm sayin'.

[ibrakeforchinwe]

Storm's a Skrull.:evilsmile

[Erik Lehnsherr]

She's Marvel's top female character. There will always be access to her. I loved the FF run. It was fun seeing her interact with Silver Surfer.

[Christopher O]

It bothers me because she isn't a goddess. She's a mutant. Doesn't matter if it's "Mutant formerly known as Goddess" or whatever... she isn't a goddess.
She has been a literal goddess and probably will be again at some point in some story.

It makes Storm fans seem even more fanatical and fanboyesque, trying to make her seem even more powerful than she is.
Does it? I think you seem as fanatical as anyone when you flip out over Storm being called a goddess. The goddess thing has as much to do with her persona and the archetype on which she's based as it does her powers. It isn't about a pissing contest.

I just don't get why people can't be satisfied with Storm being one of the most powerful mutants in the MU. No. They have to turn her into a goddess. Lame.
I just don't get why it bothers you so much. How does Storm being called a goddess diminish you--or Polaris--in any way?

EDIT: Let's put it this way: She isn't a goddess now, but people still call her a goddess, even though she only had god-like powers for a short time. Storm's also been DEpowered for a while, but you don't see people calling her a flatscan do you?
Just so you know, it isn't just fans who refer to her as a goddess. Marvel writers do it all the time. Hell, in Marvel Adventures: Avengers, the little introductory panel refers to her as weather goddess. That title was assigned by Marvel and the creators not the fans.

[Phil Hunn]

Because if Wolverine and others can be in multiple books, surely Marvel's premiere female can pull it off as well.

I think you'll find Emma Frost is in multiple books already :p

Don't jump on me - I hate Emma Frost, but even I can see that Marvel has placed her at the top of the food chain in this particular area...

If you've ever "experienced" the Hudlin forum, you would know that there is more than one Hudlinite that would respond thus - its just they send one ambassador to educate this forum and then he comes back and they all laugh about how they riled up this board with their "truth".

:eek:

That's scary. Weird, scary and creepy all at once, in fact.

[cap5]

I think she will be in Divided we Stand Book 1 of 2 i hope that will be a springboard for her to get back in the X-books

[Excelsior]

Hudinites ASSEMBLE--
Lets talk about why Storm is/was missing, and it happened long before she married Panther. She was non-existent during Morrisons run, Austens, and others.

CC didnt have exclusive rights to her, Wolverine shows up in many, many books, without regard to other titles continuity. Dont blame Hudlin.

Bru and Crew, didnt want to use Storm, blame them. And let me tag the MIA darwin in there too.

[metalgorgomon]

Storm is one of the Top female character in X-Men. Well, she once lead the X-Men. I think Marvel has some plans for the X-Men for a near future. And it involve constructing the X-Men as in Cyclops' Vision. So probably Storm's major appearance in X-Books will somewhat irrelevant, or probably will challenge the Cyclops' Way. I'm not saying that's a good thing. But I thinks Marvel is cementing the era of X-Men in the Cyclops Dream/Way. Thus leaving the current Leader solely to Cyclops and of course.. his mistress: Emma Frost

Actually, she was the lead in her own book with her own team at the time--one that Claremont made completely separate from the rest of the line. Also, she did appear in one issue of Morrison's run. Storm didn't become marginalized in the X-Men until she was moved over to Black Panther.

Wolverine is the cash cow. The other characters are treated more like property that belongs to one writer at a time.

Brubaker was the one who actually brought Storm back into the fold. He's wanted to use her all along, as he's mentioned. Of course, that isn't at all reflected in Messiah Complex. I don't know what that's about.

For the record, I'm not blaming Hudlin for "stealing" her or anything. It seems pretty clear that it was a decision from on high to move Storm out of the X-Men for awhile. Joey Q pushed the whole thing himself. He was behind it from the beginning, but I don't think he should be blamed either. They tried to do something new and interesting with Storm. I get that. Unfortunately, Hudlin isn't good at new and interesting.

I am not disagreeing with you. Im just introducing a third possibility, that Brubaker, Carey and others have no desire to utilitize Storm, Because--clearly if they did--she would be in the titles.

I believe their reason for doing so is---With Emma being the main female lead in the X-titles it pushed Storm out of the picture. In X-continuity, they hate each other. Much Like Kitty and Emma. And I believe she was left out of Messiah complex because the writers cannot work around that dynamic.

Storm, wouldve relieved Scott of command. His tenure as Leader has been a disaster, culminating in the disbanding of the X-men. Xavier being crippled or worse.

Furthermore, I do not understand the removal of Storm from the X-titles because she is married to panther. The wasp was an avenger for the longest time even after her husband left the team. Wolverine, goes on countless adventures outside of his title. As does, Iron Man, Hulk, Spiderman and being in team books.

If anything it is probably editorially mandated/ or creator choice to shoehorn,and ghettoize Storm. Hudlin has no power over who uses Storm. I would think he would like for the Storm and Panther characters to have as many guest appearances in as many books as possible. Higher Profile, and dovetailing his book with outhers. I think its the other creators who do not wish to touch Storm as long as she is married to Panther. Which Tells me alot.

Brubaker reintroduced Storm to the books--like I already said. He does have an interest in her. He mentioned that when he started writing the book. He then brought her back in his second story, and most recently he said that he'd be using her occasionally rather than permanently because she has so much else going on. He does want to use her. He did use her, and we've already been told that she'll factor into future plans for the line in a big way.

[ExodusCloak]

To be fair the character Storm is the reason why Jean Grey ended up where she is today which is similar situation to what's being alluded about the "nasty" White Queen. If anything Storm has been getting better treatment in terms of exposure to the rest of the MU then she did during Claremonts X-treme run where she was shuffled to the far corners of Oz. At least she's getting better treatment then Jean when she was put out to pasture.
And in all fairness she did more in the Messiah Complex then most of the characters. She did more then most on Carey, Bru and PAD's team who have actually been involved in the X-Universe this past year and a half. There was just not enough space, what did you expect her to do? Even Emma was sidelined during the Messiah Complex in terms of giving her 2 cents. That and the X-Office most probably don't have as much control over the character as they used to. So they have to avoid stepping on Mr. Hudlins toes or whoever is going to write her during Secret Invasion. IRRC wasn't her relationship with Panther and her new status as Queen of Wakanda referenced in the build up to the Messiah Complex eg the Extremists arc where Storm goes "As Queen of Wakanda Caliban is under my protection" (I'm paraphrasing). And I'm pretty sure she mentioned her Husband when she went to go and visit Ben and Johnny.

Anyway I might as well add that to my "I blame Emma Frost list" for:

Global Warming
Apartheid
World War I and II
World Hunger
Poverty
Storms exit
Jeans exit
Rogue's accent
New Excalibur Dazzler
The Extinction of the Dinosaurs
Am I missing anything?

She appeared along with the X-Men during Messiah Complex. Otherwise, she is in Wakanda with her husband, Black Panther.

She'll likely be appearing in an X-Title once the teams settle in in a few months.
