Batten down the hatches because it's going to be quite a gale! This week we deep dive Marvel's Mistress of the Elements, Storm! We tell you everything you'd care to know about Ororo Munroe, breaking down her powers, her personality, and her personal history: from her humble origins to the raging tempest she's become. Moreover, we explain why we think Storm has grown past being an ensemble X-men character and evolved into an A-list solo star. In the Word of Dorothy Parker, "They sicken of the calm who know the Storm."
