Despite these positive traits, Ororo admits to feeling scared and angry towards humans.

Biography

Ororo Munroe is born in New York City as the child of Kenyan tribal princess N'Dare and American photographer David Munroe. When Ororo is six months old, she and her parents move to the Egyptian capital of Cairo. Five years later, during the Suez Crisis, a fighter jet crashes into her parents' house, killing them. Buried under tons of rubble, Ororo survives but is orphaned and left with intense claustrophobia. Her fear was once so intense that she was known to curl into a fetal position and approach a catatonic state, but later overcomes this as an adult.

After the death of her parents, Ororo wanders Cairo's back alleys and forced to become a thief to survive. Later, she would try to pickpocket Charles Xavier, who would become her future mentor, but he lets her go. Seeing Xavier's kindness, Ororo abandons her life as a thief before heading to Serengeti.

At some point during her teenage years in Serengeti she awakened her mutant ability to control the weather. Sometime after this, she met the witch-priestess, Ainet, who took her in and became her surrogate mother. Once, when their village was going through a terrible drought, Storm commanded rain for days just to help them. By doing this, she threw off the natural order of nature, and droughts were formed over numerous villages, and hundreds of animals were killed. Sensing the damage she had done, Ainet told Storm that her kind but poorly considered gesture had unintended consequences. Ainet took this opportunity to explain to Ororo how her powers worked with nature, and how she could fix the problem by properly distributing rain.

After this, she is worshipped as a rain goddess to an African tribe. Soon, she encounters Professor X again, who recruits her into the new team of X-Men including Wolverine, Gambit, Colossus, Nightcrawler, and Shadowcat to rescue the original team (Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman, Beast, Angel) after they were attacked at the island of Krakoa. Ororo receives the code name "Storm" and is established as a strong, serene character. During her time with the X-Men she becomes one of the most powerful members.

At some point during her time in X-Men, she is depowered by an energy weapon fired by Henry Peter Gyrich, a government liaison who became enemy to both X-Men and the Avengers, and other superheroes and superpowered beings by extent. After going through self-discovery and also defeating the Adversary, a demonic entity, Ororo eventually regains her powers and return to the X-Men.

After Xavier's death at the hands of Dark Phoenix, Ororo becomes a teacher at the Xavier's institute. She is given the opportunity to become the headmistress, but she politely declines as she believed that there was no other better headmaster than Charles himself. She, along with Cyclops and Wolverine become prominent members of the team.

Powers

Mutant Physiology: Ororo's X-Genes were unlocked during her youth, mutating her genetics and awakening her powers. Because of her raw power and nigh-infinite potential, Ororo is officially classified as an Omega Level Mutant.

Weather Manipulation: Ororo's main power is to control and manipulate all forms of weather. With her powers, she can control the temperature of the environment, precipitation, humidity, and moisture at a molecular level, generate lightning and other electromagnetic atmospheric phenomena, and has demonstrated excellent control over atmospheric pressure. She can incite all forms of meteorological tempests, such as tornadoes, thunderstorms, blizzards, and hurricanes, as well as mist. Her precise control over the atmosphere allows her to create special weather effects. She can create precipitation at higher or lower altitudes than normal, make whirlwinds travel pointing lengthwise in any direction, channel ambient electromagnetism through her body to generate electric blasts, flash freeze objects and people, coalesce atmospheric pollutants into acid rain or toxic fog, and, along with her natural ability of flight, summon wind currents strong enough to support her weight to elevate herself and others to fly at high altitudes and speeds. Her control is so great that she can even manipulate the air in a person's lungs. She can also control the pressure inside the human inner ear, an ability she uses to cause intense pain. She can also bend light using moisture in the air and her manipulation of mist and fog to appear partially transparent, and in some cases, nearly invisible. However, as time passed Ororo has demonstrated the ability to control other forms of natural forces such as cosmic storms, solar wind, ocean currents, and the electromagnetic field as well, while also being able to manipulate the interstellar and intergalactic forces as well, while also being able to manipulate weather in extraterrestrial and otherworldly ecosystems as well. As a result, she is able to control anything that is considered "weather".

Weather Sensory: Ororo additionally possesses the ability to psionically sense the weather itself, and being connected to it by extent. One consequence of this connection to nature is that she often suppresses extreme feelings to prevent her emotional state from resulting in violent weather.
