Do we like Storm?

A character from X-Men (Giant-Size X-Men #1 / Uncanny X-Men) (1975)

Our score: 9 out of 10. Yes, we'd back her. She's calm, principled and fiercely protective, and she leads well. She's a goddess-level weather force who uses her power with restraint.

Ororo Munroe was created by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum and first appeared in Giant-Size X-Men #1 in 1975. She was orphaned young, grew up in Africa and survived as a street thief. Her mutant powers over wind, lightning and rain developed early. Some Africans she met saw her as a goddess.

Professor Xavier recruits her for his new international team of X-Men. She becomes one of its most important members: calm, regal and compassionate, but with a temper as stormy as her powers when people she loves are threatened.

Her score is high because she keeps choosing responsibility over ego. She is a reliable leader and a protector, and she is a role model to younger mutants. Her one real flaw is that her emotions can affect her power, which can make her dangerous when she's pushed.

In the comics she takes over as X-Men field leader when Cyclops steps away in Uncanny X-Men #139 (1980). She later marries T'Challa, the Black Panther, and becomes Queen of Wakanda.
