Powers/Mutations: Storm has the psionic ability to control the weather over limited areas. She can fly by creating winds strong enough to support her weight. Storm has limited immunity to extreme heat and cold.
Extent of Powers: Storm's psionic powers over the weather are affected by her emotions; hence, if she does not maintain control of her emotions, a fit of rage might induce a destructive storm. Also, Storm suffers from severe claustrophobia.
History: Storm is the descendant of an ancient line of African priestesses, all of whom have white hair, blue eyes, and the potential to wield magic. Her mother, N'Dare, was the princess of a tribe in Kenya. She married the American photojournalist David Munroe and moved with him to Manhattan, where Ororo was born.
When Ororo was six months old, she and her parents moved to Cairo, Egypt. Five years later, a bomb destroyed their home. Ororo's parents were killed, but she survived, buried under rubble near her mother's body. This traumatizing effect left Ororo with the severe claustrophobia that still afflicts her today.
Homeless and orphaned, Ororo, came under the tutelage of master thief Achmed el-Gibar. She became his prize pupil in thievery and in picking locks.
Years later, feeling a strong urge to go south, Ororo journeyed alone across the Sahara Desert and finally reached her ancestors' homeland, the Serengeti Plain, which lies in the modern nations of Kenya and Tanzania. By this time her mutant power to control the weather had emerged, and she used them to help the local tribes, who worshipped her as a goddess.
Ororo remained with the tribes for years until Professor Charles Xavier recruited her into the new team of X-Men he was assembling. She was given the code name "Storm" after her power to affect the weather. Except for brief periods away from the team, Storm has remained in the X-Men ever since and shares leadership of the X-Men with Cyclops.
Personality: Almost motherly when it comes to mutants (protective), not so trusting of everyone else.
Hobbies: excellent marksman and has a 'green thumb'.
Likes/Dislikes: likes the feeling of rain over her skin, wide open places, and talking to her plants.
A Quote: FROM X-MEN 2 : Are we a threat because we are a mutant ? Am I a threat because I am a black ? Or that little girl because she's Hispanic ? Of cos we are not ! Exactly what Martin Luther King said, we want to be judged not by the color of our genes - or in our case,makeup of our genes, but by the content of our characters...Mutant are only human with some extra unique genes, we are still human !
Non-Mutant Skills: hand to hand combat, picking locks, and marksman.
