Guggenheim said that he wanted to explore powerlevels going both up and down (Rachel & Colossus) so maybe in the future he will do a little something with Storm but it is disappointing that for 11 issues now she has only been a background character.
I get it not every writer is going to like her nor is she always going to have a spot in front but it is frustrating that she is the only one who hasn't gotten an "apology" after IvX other than from Coates.
What apology?
And I'm kinda annoyed he snatched her up right away just because she's popular. And having her in a book is good for boosting sales. I'm getting a bit board of Kitty constantly being shoved in our faces.
I'm sorry... but she really should have researched her character. She is a talented actress, so for her not to be able to convey Mystique's attitude is quite a FAIL on her behalf. She had 3 chances. And she was alright in Days of Future past. But Apocalypse-- SHE WAS GARBAGE!!! I'd be fine with her having a post credit scene. But please take a back seat on the Phoenix saga.
So.. Storm is X-men: Gold, Black Panther, and Black Panther & the Crew....
And so far... Storm has given up leadership of the X-men to Kitty, done nothing memorable but kiss Gambit in a panel and be background lightning in X-men Gold. In Black Panther, all she mainly does is get kicked around and hash out her & Bp's failed relationship. Same with with Black Panther and the Crew...
And ever since this new "era" has began, she hasn't done anything note worthy. And yet EVERYONE ELSE HAS:
Kitty and Colossus got back together. Rachel and Nightcralwer are considering a relationship Iceman's Sexuality is making more sense. Jean is leader of the blue team and running from the Phoenix. Beast is embracing magic. Emma is a villian. Cyclops has a psychic connection with Jean. Rogue is back with the X-men while still fiddling around with Avengers. Wolverine lives on throught X-23, Old Man Logan, and his sons. Mystique is joining the X-men and maybe for real this time. Psylocke is establishing her own team. Heck-- even Lady Deathstrike has had more character development than Storm has lately...
Storm hasn't done much of anything...
I feel like Storm shouldn't be in a book where she plays second fiddle to Kitty. Most issues she doesn't get any lines. She should be in Astonishing X-men or establish her own team. Storm shines as a leader, ...not lightning wallpaper. ESPECIALLY since she has a lot of unfinished story to tap into with Forge, Yukio, Old Man Logan, and Psylocke.
But the fact is, Claremont has been putting sexual implications to most of the characters his written and the fact that it was forgotten for Storm, so Storm is straight
Nope. As possible as it is. You automatically rule out possibility that she is bisexual out of favoritism. In an interview the writer of the Storm solo said that he would maintain her sexuality's ambiguity with Yukio since that's always how it's been. He didn't want to change anything.
Examples are: -Storm holding Yukio frequently. -Storm and Yukio sleeping together. -Thinking about her in frequently in an fascinated way. -In black panther's dream scenario, all the X-couples were suggestively posed together. Rogue & Gambit, Kitty & Collossus, and STORM & YUKIO! Not exactly subtle or a coincidence. - It's debatable that Storm & Yukio have Sailor Neptune and Uranus type of subtle romance. It's not blatantly and obvious like 'I'm a LESBIAN!' 'Wanna be my Girlfriend????'
- Many people say that Storm's Mohawk look was influenced by her crush on Yukio. -Storm and Yukio holding hands. -Storm and Yukio say things that even best friends or family members usually wouldn't say to one another... Do you want me to provide scans?
