Before The X-Men

Ororo holds the psionic ability to control every portion of the elements of nature, pertaining to the weather. This control extends over a certain large radius of her vicinity and is greatly affected by her emotions. It is hinted that she holds latent magical abilities that will emerge as she ages. Her other skills include an extraordinary talent at lock picking, hand-to-hand combat, marksmanship, and team strategy.


Ororo Munroe was born to her parents David and N'Dare Munroe in New York City, New York. Her father was a photographer for a newspaper and her mother was a Kenyan princess. Even though she was born African-American, she had unusual features: blue eyes and white hair. Her mother named her Ororo, which means beauty.



When Ororo was 5 years of age, her father was given an assignment in Cairo, Egypt. At the time, Egypt was enduring war and by being in the wrong place at the wrong time, an airplane was deflected by anti-missile weaponry and crashed into the apartment where the Munroe family was residing. Her mother and father died before her very eyes as little Ororo remained trapped under rubble of the apartment. This sad event resulted in Ororo's claustrophobia: fear of closed or narrow spaces.



Now, without a home and with no one to care for her, Ororo begged for food, money, anything she could get on the harsh streets of Cairo. Fortunately, she encountered a band of thieves who took her to their master Achmed El Gibar. She learned all the ways of begging and the best ways of picking pockets and locks.

During this time, she had her first encounter with Professor Xavier. However, it was brief and had nothing to do with anything X-related. Xavier was on vacation in Cairo and little Ororo pick-pocketed him. With a wallet and absolute skill, Ororo would have gotten away if it weren't for Xavier's mutant ability.



About 6 more years passed and Ororo felt a need, urge, and anxiety to go south. Ororo traveled on foot for nearly a year, covering tracks of an estimated 2,000 miles. Ororo's abilities first became known at the age of 13 and after making her way to her homeland of Tanzania, she finally found a place she could call home. The people of the country made Ororo into their goddess, and Ororo compassionately poured rain down on the country, ceasing the drought that plagued them. This went on for quite a long time, until Xavier came...




X-Men: Second Genesis
Ororo continued to role-play this weather-goddess lifestyle until Professor Charles Xavier made an urgent visit to her domain. Charles was recruiting a new team of X-Men to help save his original members from the island known as Krakoa.



"Wh-who are you stranger?" she asked the bald man in the wheelchair who sat facing her, looking at her with blazing eyes of intensity. "What business have you in Ororo's land?"



"I am called Xavier---Professor Charles Xavier," the stranger told her. "And I have come to make you an offer I pray you will not refuse."



"An… offer?" Ororo echoed. "What have you to offer a goddess?"



The stranger wheeled himself closer, his gaze fixing her in place, freezing her to the spot. "You have a land, Ororo," he said softly, "and people who adore you. I offer you a world---and people who may fear you, but people who need you nonetheless. The world I offer you is not beautiful, but it is real---far more real than the fantasy you're living now."



She could feel her heart racing as the words of the stranger cut through her, stabbing her with the truth.



"You are no goddess, Ororo. You are a mutant--and you have responsibilities. I ask you to leave your home and exalted status here, to fulfill the purpose for which your life was intended---the protection and salvation, not of a single tribe, but of all mankind!"



"Come with me," the stranger said, reaching out his hand. "Taste the world outside. You may find its flavor bitter--or surprisingly sweet."


Ororo felt her mind whirling, but all the while she knew what her answer must be. "You present a most peculiar argument," she told the stranger. "Yet I sense a deep sincerity in your words. All right. I will... come with you. Perhaps the time has come for me to leave the nest at last."


Quoted from X-Men: Second Genesis Novel


Leader of the X-Men and Morlocks


After she joined Xavier's quest to save his X-Men, she adopted the codename Storm, reflecting her unique ability to manipulate the weather at its greatest extents. After rescuing the original X-Men, Ororo stayed at the Xavier's Institute. There she battled her claustrophobia with the help of Xavier's mental abilities, and became close friends with Jean Grey. Their friendship was so perfect and well nurtured that they saw each other as sisters. She became well acquainted with Colossus and he became considered her little brother. Her personality was so compelling that she became close with Wolverine, the man with the attitude. He taught her his hand-to-hand combat skills and she taught him just how hard it was for her to control her inner rages.



By X-Men #138, Jean Grey's funeral took place after the entire Phoenix ordeal and Cyclops decided to leave the X-Men, too grief stricken to remain a reliable leader. Storm was the only one capable to take his place, and she did so in X-Men #139. Trouble brewed when Cyclops came back to the team some time later and Xavier began to assimilate into the leadership role as well. Xavier, Cyclops, and Storm were in a twisted and confused frenzy, trying to figure out who was the leader of the X-Men. It was during this tragic time in Storm's X-Career that many of her fans’ favorite battle took place.



At this point Storm had many tough decisions to make, and things weren't getting any easier. The Morlocks had captured Angel, Shadowcat's life was about to be taken, and the X-Men were on the verge of being defeated and killed. Storm, taking a crazy risk, but trusting herself, challenged Callisto, leader of the Morlocks, to a duel. Storm won the battle, without using her mutant abilities, and while facing her fear of closed spaces in the tunnels. She drove a dagger into Callisto's heart, but the mutant survived. It was at this time that Storm was declared leader of the Morlocks and savior of the X-Men.



The tough decisions kept rolling in as Storm began to question herself. She almost killed Callisto by instinct, she was confused with her roll in the X-Men, and didn't know whether or not to consider herself a goddess -- these were all worries and doubts that filled Storm's head. Luckily for her, she met Yukio, a mutant whom she met in Japan while on a mission with the X-Men. Yukio helped Storm to become worry-free and to cut off her dignified status. Storm, fascinated by Yukio's youthfulness, adopted her Mohawk haircut and leather clothing. This was known as her Punk Phase when she secured herself as a leader and wasn't willing to be anything less. This would eventually cause big problems between her and Cyclops.
