Mutant Power (if applicable):[/size]
Storm is a mutant who possesses the psionic ability to manipulate weather patterns over limited areas. She can stimulate the creation of any form of precipitation such as rain or fog, generate winds in varying degrees of intensity up to and including hurricane force, raise or lower the humidity and temperature in her immediate vicinity, induce lightning and other electrical atmospheric phenomena, and disperse natural storms so as to create clear change. Storm can direct the path of certain atmospheric effects, such as bolts of lightning, with her hands. She has also demonstrated the ability to manipulate ocean currents, though the extent of this ability is still unclear.
Storm’s control over the atmosphere is such that she can create certain effects over a specific area while shielding smaller areas within that region. For example, she can create a rainstorm around herself but prevent the raindrops from touching her. Storm can also create atmospheric phenomena over very small areas, such as creating a rainstorm small enough to water a single potted plant.
Storm can only manipulate weather patterns as they exist in nature. For example, she can end a drought in one area by creating torrential rains there, but that would necessitate robbing all available moisture from the surrounding areas. Storm is not able to create atmospheric conditions that do not exist naturally on the planet she is on. For example, Storm is unable to lower temperatures as far as absolute zero or raise them to solar intensities on Earth.
The limit to the size of the area over which Storm can manipulate the weather is not yet known. However, she once diverted the jet stream so as to create storms over the entire East Coast of the United States. She can create weather effects within indoor areas or within artificially maintained environments. Storm is limited by the force of her will and the strength of her body. It once took her several hours to stop a savage blizzard sweeping over much of Canada, and she nearly died from exhaustion in the process.
Storm is able to fly by creating winds strong enough to support her weight, the weight of others, and to propel her forward through the air. Storm can thus travel as fast as any wind can, and has reached speeds up to 300 miles per hour. Her powers over the atmosphere enable her to breathe at any speed, protect her from air friction, and grant her limited immunity to extreme heat and cold.
Storm is also able to alter her visual perception so as to perceive electrical energy patterns as well as those factors responsible for existing meteorological phenomena in her surrounding environment.
Power Limits:[/size
Storm's ability to manipulate the weather in her immediate vicinity is affected by her emotions; hence, if she does not maintain control, a fit of rage might induce a destructive storm. Storm also suffers from severe claustrophobia.
Personality:[/size][/font] (2 paragraph minimum. And of course, the more you have, the better.)
Storm is an almost mother like figure of the school, she keeps her emotions under control due to them being tied to her power. She hates enclosed spaces due to what happened to her as a child meaning she is severely claustrophobic causing her to panic if she finds her self in a situation that finds her enclosed. She will help anyone as long as he feels its morally correct for the situation. She is strong willed in her self as having fought so many strong vows.
Her heart is in the right place being queen and X-man she likes to teach children and pass on her knowledge to others hoping it will educate the younger children that war and fighting is a bad thing and one day they could all live in peace as Xavier has said several times.
can't you see we are the same?

he is a slender deceptive woman her body is that of a young mature woman yet her strength is that of a goddess as she as been called once or twice. She is slender with a slim waist leading to a full curved chest her legs are slender yet slightly muscular from her exercises she does in her spare time and the fighting as an X-man. She has slender shoulders and long is arms her nails are not long but neat and manicured.
Her hair is naturally white and kept short and neatly trimmed so it will be out the way when she is teaching and training which tones her abs and thighs. She never allows her self to eat unhealthily and so expects some kind of healthy activity from her students along with fellow staff.
this war we're fighting is undecided...
History: [/font]
. . . . .
[/center]Ororo Monroe 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 an African princess who married American photojournalist David Monroe 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, during the Arab-Israeli conflict, a plane crashed into their home. Ororo's parents were killed, but she survived, buried under rubble near her mother's body. The resultant trauma left Ororo with severe claustrophobia that still affects her today.
Ororo managed to escape the rubble of her shattered home with nothing but the tattered clothes on her back and her mother's ancestral ruby. Homeless and orphaned, Ororo was found by a gang of street urchins who took her to their master, Achmed el-Gibar, who taught her the many skills of thievery and hand to hand combat. While in Cairo, Storm has her first encounter with Charles Xavier, a powerful telepath who would go on form the team of mutants called the X-Men. Through Ororo's attempt to pick Xavier's pocket, Charles meets the Shadow King. Storm also proves her skills as a thief by stealing a rare ruby-colored gem, the so-called "heart of eternal darkness" against Achmed's orders. Years later, it would be discovered that this stone contained the essence of the immortal mutant Candra.
Years later, Ororo leaves Egypt and returns to her ancestral homeland of Kenya. On the way there, Ororo accepts a ride with a man who attempts to rape her. Ororo killed the man with a knife, but swears never to take a life again. After nearly dying of thirst in the Sahara desert, Ororo learns that she has the power to control the weather. She also learns that South Africans, under the leadership of Andreas de Ruyter, were trying to kidnap Prince T'Challa of Wakanda, who was a little older than her. Storm uses her powers to help him escape, and the two travel together for a while, growing attracted to each other, but Ororo's dream and T'Challa's duty meant they couldn't be together yet.
Making her home in the Serengeti Plain in Kenya, Storm calls out to her goddess and is answered with the sight of a shining figure of a woman, who resembles her. Adopted as a goddess of life by the local tribes, Storm helps however she can, with her powers. The connection between the weather and her emotional state lead her to detach herself from stronger emotions as far as possible to protect the people. An elderly tribal woman, Ainet, helps her learn how to responsibly use her complex powers. When a threat arises from a fellow mutant called Deluge, who had wrested control over the weather from her in an attempt to revenge himself on humanity. Ororo managed to destroy Deluge and disperse the storm with the help of the X-Men, stranded in Kenya at that time. The X-Men inform Professor X about this promising mutant, however, he already knows of her, but hadn’t contacted her before because he thought the cultural shock would be too much for her to handle.
Eventually however, Xavier is left with no choice but to contact Ororo and ask her assistance in rescuing the X-Men, explaining to her that she was not a goddess but a mutant. Ororo agrees to join the X-Men and returns to live in America. The new X-Men's first mission tasks them with rescuing the original X-Men from the living island of Krakoa. Acclimatizing to life in America, Ororo was naive in the ways of the modern world, for example, she had no idea why there was any need for clothing, if one didn’t feel cold.
Storm quickly makes friends among the X-Men, regarding them as a family, with an especially strong bond of friendship with Jean Grey, who helped Ororo to buy a new wardrobe. It was during one of their shopping tours that Jean learned of Storm’s severe claustrophobia when the two women were chasing a thief into a subway station.
When the X-Men are taken into space by the Sentinels and held as prisoners in Lang's sentinel factory above Earth, during their escape they are forced to use a damaged space craft to reenter the Earth's atmosphere. With Jean as the only person on board who would survive long enough to pilot the ship, everyone else remains protected in the radiation room. Jean is replaced by the Phoenix during the reentry.
To get away from all the stress the team decides to take a vacation to Banshee's home Cassidy Keep. When they get there they are attacked by Juggernaut and Banshee's cousin Black Tom Cassidy. Storm suffers extreme claustrophobia from being confined inside the castle, but when she is finally able to get outside she turns the battle in favor of the X-Men.
While still in Scotland the X-Men go to Muir Island, to the lab of Moira McTaggert to check on her research. The facility is attacked by Eric the Red, Havok and Polaris who take the infant Magneto and age him to his thirties when his powers are at their peak. Magneto easily defeats the entire team, helped by the fact that two of its strongest members are made of metal. Eric the Red reveals that he is actually a Shi'ar spy sent to Earth to capture the fugitive Princess Lilandra, who had been in psychic contact with Charles Xavier, and they had fallen in love.
When Eric takes her back to Shi'ar space Xavier sends the X-Men after them and they battle the entire Imperial Guard. After their battle the X-Men, along with the Shi'ar ruler D'Ken, are sucked into the M’Kraan Crystal. Phoenix repairs the crystal, thus saving the universe. Storm and the rest of the X-Men return to Earth but are soon after kidnapped by Magneto and held prisoner in the Savage Land. Magneto punishes the team for his time stuck as an infant and binds them so they can't move or speak. However, Storm is able to use her skills as a master lock-pick to break the restraints and she frees the rest of the team.
They attack Magneto and he destroys his hidden headquarters in an attempt to kill them. The X-Men are split in two groups, Phoenix and Beast are propelled out of the Savage Land to Antarctica and the rest of the team is imprisoned underground in the Savage Land. Phoenix and Beast return to America believing their teammates killed, while Storm and the X-Men adapt to life in their temporary home in the village of Ka-Zar and help him defeat the tyrant Garokk. However, Storm blames herself for the accidental death of Garokk which leaves her traumatized. Storm then distances herself from the other X-Men and wandered around the Savage Land on her own where she saves a mysterious woman, M'rin, from a savage beast. Finding herself in another fantastic dimension adjacent to the Savage Land, M’rin - who is this dimension’s warrior queen - befriends Ororo and regards her as her surrogate daughter. Before Storm leaves, M’rin showed her how to use her mother’s ruby crystal to open the dimensional gates and come visit her, if she wishes.
As the X-Men leave the Savage Land aboard a raft, they are caught in a massive gale that brings them to Japan where Storm and the team help battle Moses Magnum. Flying back from Japan in a plane, the team are blown off course and forced to land in Calgary, Alberta. Alpha Flight had been instructed to bring in Wolverine and they found to be responsible for misdirecting the X-Men's plane. As the battle reaches its climax, Storm has to use her powers like never before to quell a blizzard, summoned by Shaman that grows out of his control, spanning the size of the Canadian continent. While successful, the effort required leaves her physically exhausted. Back in New York, Storm decides to visit the apartment in Harlem, where her parents fell in love and where she was born. Arriving at the building where her family used to live, she is shocked to find out that it was now occupied by some drug addicted kids. She meets her friends, Misty Knight and Luke Cage, who remind her that there is only so much that superheroes can do. This causes Ororo to start to doubt her life as an X-Man. Some time later, Storm is kidnapped by Arkon the Imperion, emperor of the other-dimensional world Polemachus, who wanted someone with control over lightning to restore the machine that kept the energy-rings around their world. Ororo is actually willing to help, even though it would have cost her life. With the aid of the other X-Men, any loss of life was avoided. This adventure reminded her that life as an X-Man was more than just one battle after the next.
When a new student, the teenager Kitty Pryde, joins the X-Men, Ororo develops motherly feelings towards the girl, whose parents’ marriage was disintegrating. Around the same time as this, Storm is captured and humiliated by the telepathic White Queen (Emma Frost) who telepathically probes Ororo for information on the X-Men. When the rest of the team assaults the building, the White Queen becomes angry and almost wipes Storm's mind, but is prevented by the intervention of Phoenix.
After the death of Jean Grey, Cyclops leaves the team and Storm is appointed team leader by Professor Xavier, a role she is unsure about at first. Soon after this, the X-Men free the villain, Arcade, from Dr. Doom (actually, a very convincing Doom-bot) in order to get their friend Stevie Hunter back. Doom and Ororo feel some attraction towards each other, however, Doom still traps her and her fellow mutants and transforms Storm into a statue of organic chrome.
For a claustrophobic, this was a nightmare come true. Subconsciously, she started to warp weather patterns all over the world, creating a giant thunderstorm. When her teammates finally free her, she is immensely more powerful and close to insanity in her rage. The other X-Men make her realize she is heading down the same path as the Phoenix, and she reins in her power and stops the storm and spares Doom's life.
When Storm brings Kitty to the White Queen's Massachusetts Academy on Kitty’s parents wishes, the White Queen uses a device to switch bodies with Storm. After freeing herself, it still takes Storm some time to convince Kitty that it was really her stuck inside Emma Frost’s body. With their personalities restored again, Storm almost kills Emma in the final battle, but Wolverine, holds her back and reminds her that she is better than that.
Storm is then ambushed by an assassin hired by the Bull. Teaming up with the Black Panther, her first love, they locate the Bull, and defeat the Bull's robot. This also kills The Bull himself as he was psychically connected to the robot.
Later, Ororo and the team join the Fantastic Four to return to Polemachus, the world ruled by Arkon. The Badoon had invaded and taken control of Polemachus, and had taken Reed and Arkon prisoner. The teams defeat the Badoon and save both Arkon and Reed. A short time later, Storm is attacked by Dracula and turned into a vampire. Proving her strength of will rivaled his own, Storm gains the respect of Dracula who promises to relinquish his hold on her. However, Dracula later attacks Storm again, breaking his promise. He wanted to use her skills as a thief to steal a book from a monastery containing a spell that could kill him. Dracula's daughter Lilith, had taken control of Kitty Pryde, and takes vampiric control of Colossus, in pursuit of Storm. Kitty and Colossus ambush Storm who flash-freezes Colossus but is injured by a crossbow bolt from Kitty. Dracula saves Storm and the X-men later arrive to assist her in defeating him. Dracula is seemingly destroyed by Kitty (Lilith) reading the Montesi Formula. With his apparent death, his hold over Storm is released.
The X-Men continue on their many adventures, traveling to Limbo to rescue Illyana, where Ororo meets an elderly version of herself. The older Ororo's mutant powers have waned with age and instead she has turned to the other side of her heritage, becoming a powerful sorceress, and challenging Belasco's rule over Limbo.
The Brood then attack the X-Men, implanting them with their eggs. Storm flees from the others in a spaceship when she begins to transform into the Brood and uses her powers to channel nearby stars' energies into her body, killing the Brood embryo and nearly killing herself. Adrift in space, she is then saved by Prophetsinger of the Acanti, whale like space creatures who were enslaved by the Brood. After destroying the Brood homeworld, back on Earth Storm and her team are confronted by Professor Xavier, who was the host for a Brood Queen. Again they defeat the Brood, and Professor Xavier is transferred into a cloned body. Ororo's powers briefly flare out of control and she feels that the Earth has “rejected her” – the recent encounter with the Brood had caused her inner harmony of body and soul to shift out of balance.
When Storm, Wolverine and Carol Danvers infiltrate the Pentagon to erase their data files, they meet Rogue, who had permanently absorbed Carol's powers. A fierce fight ensues, with Rogue absorbing Wolverine's and then Storm's powers only to be overwhelmed by this power. Storm traps Rogue within a tornado and removes her from the Pentagon so the team could escape and protect the staff at the Pentagon. Soon after, Rogue comes to the X-Men for help with controlling her powers, and Xavier agreed to allow her to join the team. Storm is angered by this decision, but is able to set aside her feelings and accept Rogue.
Angel is kidnapped by the Morlocks and the X-Men go to rescue him. Storm challenges the Morlock's leader, Callisto, to a duel for leadership, defeating Callisto by stabbing her through the heart. Storm then becomes leader of the Morlocks. When the team later goes to Japan to attend Wolverine's wedding, Storm meets Yukio, a self proclaimed ronin who becomes one of Storm's closest friends. Yukio's devil-may-care free-spirited attitude triggered a dramatic change in Storm, resulting in Storm acquiring a mohawk, a new leather-clad look, and a more aggressive attitude.
Storm and several members of the X-Men are abducted by the Beyonder and, joining with other heroes, are forced to battle a cadre of villains on Battleworld. Back on Earth, during a mission to help Rogue, Storm is shot by a power neutralizer meant for Rogue, and she loses her powers. She goes to the home of the mutant Forge to recuperate and during this time, they fall in love. When Storm later discovers that the power neutralizer was created by Forge, she feels betrayed and ends their relationship, leaving the X-Men for Africa, where she meets Andrea and Andreas Von Strucker. Storm battles the twins to protect a local woman, but is grazed on the temple by a bullet and is knocked out. Awakening, she travels across a desolate plain of Africa, encountering a woman who was going into labor who she helps give birth at her village. Storm comes to terms with the loss of her powers and goes to Cairo where she helps the New Mutants defeat the Shadow King. Storm and the New Mutants are all then transported to Asgard by Loki, in a scheme of his to take over Asgard. The X-Men travel to Asgard to rescue them all. Loki tempts Storm with the title of the Goddess of Thunder and gives her Freya's cloak of magic feathers and a mystically enhanced hammer. At first she attacks Wolverine, but he is able to help Storm see through Loki's deception, and she returns to Earth with her team. Upon her return, Storm learns that Magneto had been appointed headmaster of the school by Professor X. Cyclops had returned to the X-men while Storm was on Asgard and resumed leadership of the team, but Storm challenges Cyclops in a duel for leadership and defeats him.
Some time later, a group calling themselves the Marauders slaughtered many of the Morlocks. The X-Men quickly ventured into the underground tunnels to investigate. They save a few survivors, but several X-Men suffer horrific injuries, when the team encounters the killers. Storm feels she had failed as a leader, but Callisto, slaps her back into taking up her responsibilities again.
With more and more enemies to mutants in general rallying against them, the Hellfire Club proposes an alliance with the X-Men, offering Magneto the seat of White King. After discussing this with Ororo, he accepts, with his own condition that he and Storm would jointly take the title of White King. However, Ororo would not be not available for much longer. The Marauder Malice trying to take over Dazzler, and the bombing of the house of Jean Grey’s sister, Sara, indicates that somebody is trying to get to the X-Men by harming their friends and families. As these enemies would apparently only stop once the X-Men were dead, Storm decides to go underground by faking the team’s deaths, but also realizes that, she needs her powers back. Naming Wolverine deputy leader, Storm travels to Dallas to ask for Forge’s help. Finding his home derelict, she meets who she thinks is his old mentor Nazé.
Nazé tells her that Forge (a powerful, but reluctant, Shaman) has probably been claimed by his nemesis, the Adversary and will try to destroy the world in his name. Storm accompanies Nazé (really the Adversary in disguise) on a dangerous quest to find Forge. Storm starts to admit to herself that she still loves Forge, but is convinced that he has gone evil, thanks to Nazé’s subtle manipulations. She confronts Forge on a mountain, surrounded by demons, with a gate to another dimension above him, and stabs him, only then realizing that he had in fact been trying to close the gate and save Earth.
In Dallas, time and space suddenly go crazy. Meanwhile Storm and the heavily injured Forge find themselves transported to another Earth, devoid of any human life. After spending a year there, they realize that the Adversary is giving them the chance to become parents to a new humanity on this world while destroying their own. The two decide that they have to try and save their own Earth. Forge uses the technology in his artificial leg to create an anti-Neutralizer, giving Storm back her powers and her lightning is used to energize a portal back to Earth. The magical spell to counter the one Forge cast many years ago, which had freed the Adversary, needs nine souls to give it energy. Thus, the X-Men and their companion Madelyne Pryor, on live TV, sacrifice themselves for Forge’s spell. Secretly the X-Men are returned to life by Roma, and, following Storm’s original plan they let everybody believe they are still dead, in order to better strike back at their enemies. The team relocate to the former hideout of the Reavers, in the Australian Outback. Storm gets the chance to reacquaint herself with her foster mother, M’rin, during a trip to the Savage Land.
When Madelyne Pryor, with S'ym and N'astirh release a demon invasion of Earth, the X-Men meet X-Factor (the original 5 X-Men) for the first time. Some initial tension is soon overcome and Storm is happily reunited with her best friend. Storm destroys the demon N’astirh by overloading his circuitry with her lightning. Cyclops is shocked that Storm just wanted to get the job done, by any means necessary. Back at their headquarters in the Australian Outback, the X-Men are attacked by the psychotic Nanny and her underling, the Orphan Maker who capture Storm and fake her death with the help of a SHIELD life model decoy. The villains escape and once back in their base, Nanny physically and mentally reduces Storm to her pre-teens to better control her. However, Storm’s claustrophobia gives her the strength to overload Nanny’s systems and she escapes.
The now approximately 11-12 year old Ororo finds herself in the city of Cairo, Illinois with no memories of her time with the X-Men or even why she was in America. Her powers hardly worked either, due to her youth. The Shadow King takes this opportunity to hunt her down. Taking over the body of FBI agent Jacob Reisz, he frames Ororo for murder. During a caper as a thief the Shadow King has his agents waiting for Ororo, but she is saved by a fellow mutant and thief named Gambit. Gambit is intrigued and they form a partnership, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Nanny finds them again, but they manage to beat her and destroy her aircraft, at the same time reactivating Storm’s memories of what had happened to her and who she had been. Gambit and Storm are reunited with Banshee and Forge at the X-Mansion, as well with the New Mutants, Cable and X-Factor. Tests reveal that Ororo is stuck as a young girl, not able to grow or age and without full access to her powers.
The Genoshan government, working together with old X-Factor enemy, Cameron Hodge, plan to destroy the various X-Teams as revenge for an earlier defeat. They kidnap Storm and several New Mutants. In custody, Storm undergoes the conditioning process that the Genoshans had developed to turn mutants or mutates into obedient, mindless slaves. She is stripped of free will and is called Mutate 20. However, Genegineer Moreau and Chief Magistrate Anderson are among the faction working against Hodge and use Storm in a Trojan Horse gambit against him. When Storm attacks Cyclops on Anderson’s orders, Storm not only regains both her faculties and her adult body, she also is given the means to reactivate the neutralized powers of the other captured X-Men.
Back on Muir Island, the Shadow King takes over the minds of the residents of the Research Facility. Several X-Men are captured by the residents when they try to stop the Shadow King. Professor Xavier, back on Earth, enlists the help of both X-Factor and SHIELD. After the villain was defeated, the original five X-Men rejoin. Storm is made leader of the so-called Gold Team. The arrival of the new X-Man, Bishop, from the future, further strains the relationship between Storm and Forge, a relationship that was already on the rocks. Forge proposes to Storm, but Ororo hesitates. Jean Grey refuses to tell Forge about Storm’s true feelings, and he becomes convinced that Storm didn’t love him and could never be a complete person outside the X-Men. He retracts his proposal and leaves to help Mystique, although it turns out Storm would have said “yes.” After an incident in which Mikhail Rasputin, Colossus' mad brother floods the Morlock tunnels, apparently killing them all, Forge invites Storm to dinner where they make up. While they don't fully resume their relationship, they remain more than friends.
Behind the scenes, actually Mikhail had transported the Morlocks to another dimension, where time passed faster. Children had grown up in the time since the X-Men saw them last and one group called the Gene Nation, led by Marrow – want revenge on the humans who had shunned the Morlocks. They plan another massacre on the anniversary of the Morlock Massacre. Storm confronts Marrow, and in single combat cuts out the girl’s heart, before the bomb attached to it could explode. Unaware of the fact that Marrow had survived, as she actually had two hearts, Storm is deeply troubled by her choice, feeling that she was incapable of making working long-term decisions. While celebrating the Ceremony of Light as a remembrance ritual in the Morlock tunnels, she is teleported away by Mikhail Rasputin to his other dimension, where she was to become “mother” to the Morlocks. Storm learns that Rasputin actually backed Gene Nation. She forces him to return all the surviving Morlocks back to Earth and gives the Gene Nation members a choice. Either help rebuild the impoverished African village she had once visited – or else.
Storm then presented a new look to her teammates. During that time Storm also called off her on-again-off again relationship with Forge for good, since she couldn’t imagine a long-term future with him and started a subtle flirtation with Cable instead. Storm once more confronted Candra – who had by now learned that Storm had stolen her heart as a child – over the fate of the children Jamil and Karima. After facing several old foes and friends who couldn’t possibly be there, Storm realized that Karima was a powerful mutant with the ability to make desires real and that Jamil was only an expression of her own desires. When Cyclops destroyed the ruby that contained Candra’s essence, Storm’s opponent perished and Ororo returned Karima home.
After Cyclops and Phoenix leave the team to recuperate, Storm is once more leader of the X-Men, now including Marrow who tries to provoke her at every point and whose very presence reminds Storm of her own failures. Storm and Marrow make peace though, thanks in part to Marrow's burgeoning friendship with Cannonball. Following the restructuring of the X-Men, Storm takes a less active role and joins a division of the X-Men that travels around the world to face new threats in Venice, Italy, and Russia.
Shortly after her brief leave of absence, the X-Men learn of the Diaries of the late precog Destiny, which chronicled the future. With only one book in their possession, Ororo realizes that the diaries are too a dangerous weapon to be trusted to Charles Xavier following the incident with Onslaught. Planning to find the rest of the diaries, Ororo asks Tessa AKA Sage to be among her group, as her analytical skills would be needed to make sense of the cryptic prophecies. However, the team is best with difficulties from the very beginning, not the least of which is the death of Storm's teammate Psylocke at the hand of Vargas, who claims to be the true Homo Superior. Gambit asks Storm for the ruby she had inherited from her mother, which is part of a mysterious powerful group of gems called the Madripoor set. The ruby, as well as the other gems, is stolen by the other-dimensional warrior Shaitan, who also abducts Gambit. Shaitan uses the gems and Gambit’s power to create a portal - a giant space needle in the making - to allow the other-dimensional armies of his master Khan, a conqueror of whole universes, to enter Madripoor. At the same time a forcefield prevents other heroes from entering Madripoor to help.
After Storm saves Khan's life from Madripoor crimelord Viper, Khan becomes obsessed with Storm, recognizing in her a kindred spirit and an equal. When Viper strikes Ororo in the back, leaving her for dead, Khan takes her with him to another dimension, to save her to be his queen. Storm tries to convince him to stop his attempted conquest of Earth. Meanwhile, the other X-Men race against time to try and find Storm and to stop Khan’s troops gaining access to Earth. Khan’s concubines jealously try to murder Storm but she defeats them despite her injureis. Together, the X-Men manage to successfully stop the Invasion by sabotaging Khan’s castle and blowing up the inter-dimensional portal, seemingly blowing Khan’s ship up in the process. Ororo’s serious injuries cause her to collapse, and have a near death experience but she wakes up again and has physical therapy for her back and legs. With their mission to find the diaries over (since Rogue now has access to them, thanks to her powers), the other X-Men ask Storm’s team to return to the mansion. Storm, Sage and Bishop however, feel that someone has to defend the rights of humans and make sure that they all could co-exist peacefully. Storm and Gambit infiltrate a meeting of world leaders on mutant policy at the president's home. Storm makes Val Cooper, Alexi Vazjin and several other politicians an offer: she suggests a special police task force of mutants policing mutants given worldwide authority – the X.S.E. The idea is given a green light but, as a test, she is sent to Tokyo to apprehend the extra-dimensional slaver, Tullamore Voge. There she meets with her good friend Yukio. At a nightclub, Storm intervenes in a mutant vs. mutant fight in an underground arena and unwittingly became the new champion. Excited by the thrill and the rush, Ororo returns and fights Callisto. This battle turned out to be a trap; Callisto has new powers - tentacles in the place of her arms - and the fight was only a distraction for Storm to be defeated psychically, by operatives of Callisto’s master, Masque.
Storm and Callisto then outwardly live as champions, while remaining the slaves of Masque. However they defeat Masque before they can be sold as slaves to Tullamore Voge. Storm hands over control of the arenas to Callisto, to make them an organization offering safe harbor to mutants all over the world. Voge escapes, but his activities in Tokyo are brought to an end so the X.S.E. are given the go-ahead. After returning to her teammates, Ororo learns of the devastation of Manhattan at the hand of a madman claiming to be Magneto and the death of Jean Grey. Storm’s team returned to Westchester to help rebuild the Xavier Institute, which now houses both the X-Men and the X.S.E. Professor Xavier departs to Genosha, and Cyclops and Emma Frost function as headmasters of the Institute.
e X.S.E. is given global authority as a mutant police force to maintain peace between humans and mutants. Storm is field leader with Bishop, Sage, Cannonball, Marvel Girl (Rachel Grey), Nightcrawler and Wolverine as team members. They easily beat the Weaponeers, a group of arms dealing terrorists, in the Sahara desert. Their next mission is against the extra-dimensional Fury, a super-adaptive robot with immense power. The Fury defeats the combined forces of Bishop, Marvel Girl and Cannonball at Captain Britain's ancestral home, and then takes control of Sage through her cyberglasses. Storm is able to overcome this by absorbing lightning into herself.

Role-play Example:
Adam stood at the entrance to the platform he'd let several new comers go first and now was his turn. The part always seemed like a new adventure,even knowing it was his last trip through to platform 9 ¾. He was in the seventh year of school and knew net year he would be a graduate and as such he had to act as such. Throwing his back pack over his shoulder along with a large black guitar case he moved threw to stand on a bustling train platform the smells and sounds reaching him sent him smiling as he moved carefully threw the groups of people to the train. Its red and gold paint standing out and still gave him a sense of wonder that he had felt that first day. Taking the metal rail in his hand he pulled himself up on to the metal platform of the train . Making his way inside he found his coach and threw his bag and guitar up on the shelf.
Sitting down he sighed watching the others climb aboard, he wished now he'd bought a magazine but knew the trolley would come once the train was well under way. He took a deep breath in smelling the familiar smoky train smoke that hung around in thick the air while it sat patiently at the platform waiting for those who this term riding it for the first time or back to school for their last as he was. His name is Adam Hort his brown hair neatly brushed and his clothes though slightly rebellious are always clean and neat. Now he sat with a foot up on a seat in an empty booth waiting for that first pull as the train takes him to school and out into the countryside where he could relax and strum some tunes on his new guitar. He felt the train rock gently from side to side as people got on and off seeing first years and seventh years a like safely onto the train.
As it rocked he closed his eyes taking the opportunity to catch up on some sleep his arms folded over his plain white shirt his foot up on the chair opposite as hi hoped nobody would come and sit with him at least no first years right now he wanted peace so he could catch up on his sleep before the train got moving and he had the younger kids running up and down the corridor. His hand moved threw his brown hair once more brushing it to one side as he looked out to see mothers kissing younger kids good bye as they boarded. Soon he heard the whistle of the guard as he signalled they were ready to pull out of the station. His head rested back on the cloth of the seat as out side the window now rose steam he quickly shut his to keep it out. Sitting down he sighed realizing he would not gain any extra sleep , reaching up he took down his guitar and lightly strummed at the strings as he hummed.
