@_Sojourn_: What about some mystical corruption or disruption that resulted from the break up of Ororo and T'Challa. What if their marriage and it's significance was far greater than we were aware of? It would be fantastic if the reverberations that resulted would have far reaching effects (after all Gods and Watchers were in attendance at the ceremony).

@poisonfleur: I would LOVE that. If somehow her mystical heritage would result with a "blessing" of a sign with the priesthood lineage (magical/arcane) through either a blend with T'Challa's mystical connections or shall we even consider Forge's?

@Vortex13: Your implicit asssumption is that all knowledge is fruitful, benign, and edifying. Has no one ever obtained knowledge that is destructive, corrupting or incorrect? Really? If you were taught to hate, would it be beneficial to implement that knowledge? What if I gave knowledge of impatience, would you experience your highest self? I think we often presume that to know of something is to both to know how to utilize it and how to subdue it. It too often is not.

@Roddy010: Biosphere's/Energy Systems Love, love, love the topic!!!! And you are so on point.

Storm's powers are really about sensing and manipulating energy systems. Planetary atmospheres are complex energy systems in which chemical, electromagnetic/electrical, wind/convection currents, pressure systems, thermal, kinetic and potential energy systems coalesce. That's why her powers are so adaptable and have such broad applications because energy systems exist omniversally.

In planetary ecosystems, she commands patterns that shape the lives of organisms and global environments thus giving her her Earth link. Abiotic factors such as water, rain, wind, sunlight, pressure, temperature literally shaped and continue to shape biotic factors (plants, animals, bacteria, etc) and the formation of celestial bodies. Earth's is the energy system that is native to Storm and that really defines her. I theorize that if she spent more time in outer space and on really exotic environments, her connection to intergalactic energy patterns would expand substantially. An interesting point to consider is that the boundary between a planetary atmosphere and outer space is not really strictly defined. So, her connection could theoretically be more expansive while inside a planetary environment (especially if she were flying in the upper atmosphere e.g. using a solar wind in a high altitude aerial battle). In any event, her access and variety to the effects are as varied as anything as the universe this one or any other) has to offer.

@PassionFlower: i really think she does both things at the same time i.e. generate an updraft for flight and re-balancing the surroundings wind currents. it may work in a recycling way by using the air to fly and then replenishing the normal state to generate the environment that she used to generate the updraft. Nature does this all the time. Animals breath in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide and plants use carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from animals to regenerate oxygen and make their own food. Storm's powers seem to work in much the same way.

He is The One Above All. He not only outpowers, he outwits, out strategizes everyone out knows and outunderstands them all. He is virtually omnipresent and arguable the source of their power if not the creator of most of their power. The One Above All is The. One. Above. ALL.

Very astute and valid observation!!!

One really epic power balance tipping entity that has gone missing in this whole saga is Legion (the fame and infamous omega level mutant son of Prof X). He might prove a valuable ally or extraordinary liability in this whole war with the Phoenix Force? Why isn't he being used? Won't someone want to broker his power?

@ReVamp: Don't uou think this poses a very unique and interesting take on the whole thing in the world of comics? The logistics and potential conflicts alone.

Can Kyle and Jean Paul be "two daddies"? And if so in the world of comics what will be the source of their genetics. Can Aurora be a surrogate? Kyle's sperm her eggs Food for thought.

@Augustus Freeman VI: I am in total agreement about the costume. For such a stellar black character. He should definitely have a bit more style (swag even) than this. The colors alone. <puke>
