Okay-- let's just make this an official topic.

Back in December, we discussed if: Storm and Psylocke should hook up in X-force.

http://www.comicvine.com/x-men/65-3173/what-if-storm-psylocke-hooked-up-in-x-force/92-733788/#62

And many discussed how much they loved it/hated/ thought it was joke or good idea.... etc.

Many have speculated Storm and Yukio have been rather close... like Mystique and Destiny kind of close. And it is common knowledge that Mystique and Destiny's relationship was supposed to be expanded (And Destiny was supposed to be Nightcrawler's father) but Marvel was a bit sensitive with bisexual, gay, and lesbian relationships. Obviously that isn't the case nowadays.

So I must ask: Based on the character and the material you have read in the past, is it really that out of the box for Storm to have a bisexual encounter or have the writers play around with her sexuality? Are you highly opposed to thought? Open to it? On the fence?

I believe in the 80s and early 90s this wouldn't have been a surprise. Storm's character was such an edgy wildcard. Everything happened to her from meeting Yukio and getting a Mohawk, Lifedeath and loosing her powers, to many other surprisingly great stories. Nowadays Storm is a bit more of an established character, so it would be a bit of shock to see the writers play on her sexuality. Although I think that is exactly what her character needs to bring back the ' head-turning 'say what!?' freshness' that her 80s counterpart had. I also would imagine Storm and Yukio/Psylocke would be much more fun to write as opposed to Storm and Black Panther. Marvel could totally address many things by doing this.

Plus, Marvel could really gain from this. Storm has a decent sized fanbase among the gay audience, so this could also nod or play a little towards that.

(BTW, I am not saying make Storm gay and the gays will love her-- We still want Quality writing and Great stories to go along with this era/chapter.)

Thoughts?

I personally think Storm's Bi.

Say something.

LMAOOO

Seriously, could you imagine? Not to make this seem like a desperate cry for attention, but if Storm and Psylocke/Yukio were kissing on the cover of an X-men book...

Remember when Storm recently kissed Cyclops, then Wolverine on covers(Astonishing and Wolverine and the X-men)? Those we such a buzz and scandal. lol

I seem to remember Storm getting a mohawk being a joke by the creators that was taken the wrong way or something. Why would Storm become bi after decades of being heterosexual???

If you've read a vast amount of her appearances, you'll find she hasn't always given off a straight heterosexual vibe. She's packed full of many wonders.

And would it be such a problem ?

@cattlebattle

Touche. Although some of the best stories come from the unnecessary if penned by the skilled writer. I think her and Psylocke would be a bit of a shock-- although Yukio compliments Storm very well-- and completes her in ways only Forge comes closer to.

I have read a vast amount of her appearances and though she may act kind of free spirited she always has a partner of the opposite sex....

It wouldn't be a problem, it would just seem like they are trying to something drastic and unnecessary for the character.

Seemingly so, but what's on the exterior doesn't always match up with what's on the interior. Not saying that she's hiding anything, but it's also true that writer's have any really focused on the sexual/personal aspect of the character, she's usually just that domineering no-nonsense leader, caring wife, second fiddle or background char.

Mhm,

@AgeofHurricane: AoH-- Yes. Some of the deepest story mechanics revolve around repressed/hidden sexual elements.

Like silent hill 2. James and the nurse and the rape scenes. Those were not all disturbing coincidence. And from what I have seen, Storm and Yukio in Storm the Arena seem very 'comfortable' (for lack there of better words) with each other. Jean is Storm's best friend, and I have Never seen them close like that.. Just pointing out.

But for argument's sake, Storm has kissed Gambit and Wolverine affectionately and it was just for the sake of friendship... I guess.

Claremont wrote Storm as such a sexual character. I loved it.

This is a good question. I tend to see her as an essentially bi-sexual woman who tends towards men long term-wise.That is how I see her as a Storm fan. Now my friends who are not her fans see her as the hyper sexualized exotic ala Starfire whose sexuality is just so much grist for the titillation mill.

I prefer Storm to be straight

Storm is not pansexual. She just care for everybody.

That's Yukio!? I always wondered who that was in that pic.

I was like did Rachel dye her hair or what!? lol

@JakeN7: He is. The original concept was for Mystique to be the dad (shapeshift) and Destiny the mother-- but at the time Marvel considered that to be way too scandalous. Lol I find it funny how Destiny went blind and lesbian. Now that is a Dafuq!? moment. Mystique is bi.

If Betsy gets with anyone of the same gender, it will be the new Femtomex.

Xena is practically Wonder Woman.

Oooohhh.....Let's not go there.lol

Oh we are sooo going there! Lucy Lawless is Wonder Woman. Nobody else can be her. Xena is sheer proof of that. *Amazon war cry*

Storm should hook up with Psylocke and Rogue at the same time. Innovative take on diversity relationships.

@jhazzroucher: I think your right.

Thank you. : )

I am so ready for Storm to be the X-men's wildcard.

Bring on the Badass!

Bring on the Bisexual!

Bring on the Powerhouse!

Bring on the Attitude!

Bring on the Solo!

Bring on the leadership!

Bring on the movie roles (especially since Yukio is being introduced in The Wolverine!)

Have her punch someone in the face. LOL

I want her to have it allllllllllllllllllllllll!

I prefer Storm being straight... heterosexual. She can flirt it up with the women, but that is as far as I want to see it go.
