Ororo Munroe,
better known as Storm, is to co-leader
of the X-men. Her special mutant ability allows her to manipulate the forces
of nature. This control over the weather gives her the ability to fly.
She can call upon the power of a storm and harness the fierce power of
weather. Storm possesses a strong sense of nobility, making her a great
leader.
Ororo 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.
Storm was initially very naive
when it came to the customs of the modern world, but her team mate Jean
Grey helped educate her in the ways of society and the pair formed a lasting
friendship. Jean was also one of the first X-Men to learn of Storm's
claustrophobia after the two women chased a thief into the subway.
After serving with the
team for many years, Storm was appointed leader of the team following the
departure of former leader Cyclops
after the apparent death of Jean. Storm was initially unsure about her new role,
but with the support of her team mates she soon became a capable leader. When
Cyclops eventually returned to the team, Storm found herself doubting her
leadership abilities once more after a mission she led went wrong. However, she
soon asserted her position, reminding Cyclops that she was now team leader.
