Deluge is an evil mutant that Storm and the rest of the og X-Men faced during the Hidden Years (a line of comics meant to fill in the gap between 1960s X-Men and All New All Different X-Men).

Just like Storm, Deluge is a weather controlling mutant that can directly manipulate the energy that determines the weather. Unlike Storm, Deluge's backstory (an albino outcast from his village, only to end up being used as a lab rat by European scientists) caused him to develop a deep hatred for the Human Race, including other mutants. Also, unlike Storm, he's kind of an energy vampire that can absorb energy to become stronger, and his evil plan was to feed off the O5 + Storm's energy before leaving them to die.

Do you think he should be brought back?

Dracula vs X-Men, Storm becomes a vampire. Night Screams is a great stand alone story, with art from the incredible Bill Sienkiewicz. Forty four years later and Storm as a vampire is still kickin' around.

Do y'all have a favorite spooky Storm story?

This is a very important question but if they did a storm movie who’s doing the music for it?

I myself nominate smaller artists maybe from the African continent or diaspora who can channel storm very well.

If they go for a bigger artist, Beyoncé would be perfect for this.

Even those these two have never dated, I find their dynamic and relationship way more interesting than Storm x T’Challa and surprisingly enough this is a thought that a lot of other X-Men fans especially Marvel fans have so it’s not just me feeling this way. How would you feel if they actually decided to explore these two as an actual romantic pairing? Doom is a villain but it’s funny how he has more respect for Storm than T’Challa ever did and plenty of X-Men fans agree with me too, in case anyone thinks I’m ‘’ragebaiting’’ or ‘’trolling’’.

I may have messed up some parts

So I’m going to ask as many superhero fanbases as I can this question. What are some traits about this hero that you hate, dislike or despise? Anywhere from a mild annoyance to a trait that would make you dislike any other character. I’m not talking about a way one writer in particular wrote them, or a time they were out of character or mishandled, I mean a reoccurring trait this character has.

Gradually loosening Storm’s curls/coils?

I’m not declaring it intentional, but when Dauterrmann and Werneck draw hair, the tightness of her curls is evident. I was looking at the art for Maximum X-Men’a first issue, and Storm’s curls appear much looser than they were with the intentional character redesign. That’s not to say, hairstyles can't change in comics like in real life, but I really hope we start seeing the tighter curls more often again. Her hair looks great in Maximum, but I hope we don't see a gradual abandonment of her tight coils as they look so good on her.

I want to know more about the Goddess my knowledge is somewhat causal. I know her animated series version but not her comic counterpart. What makes her tick, where her morals lie? What she likes in friends and allies. What does Storm look for in a friend? I understand her friendship with Jean, but still some parts I’m missing. Also what does Storm not like in friends or allies. I see a lot of discourse of Storm being depicted too much as super benevolent. What are your guys opinions?

I did some fanart of storm for the first time and while I have my problems with it and will probably do a better one, I'm proud I finally made something, I hope you guys like it too.

Also I thought it would be cool if storms eyes had like the six eyes effect going on or maybe they reflect the aspect of weather she is going to use, I don't know honestly I just wanted an excuse to digitally paint.
