Story


Ororo's mother, N'dare, was a princess of a tribe from Kenya. N'dare married American photojournalist
David Munroe, and whileliving with him in Manhattan, Ororo was born. When she was
six months old, she and her parents moved to Cairo, Egypt, where her father was on assignment.
Five years later, Ororo's egyptian home was destroyed during an Arab-Israeli conflict.
Ororo'sparents were killed outright. Ororo found herself buried under
the rubble of her home besides her mother's corpse. This event traumatized Ororo
so much that today she still suffers from claustrophobia, the(fear of being in a confining space).



Later, Ororo wasfound by children working for the Egyptian master-their Achmed el-Gibar.
Achmed el-Gibar taught children to steal for him, and Ororo became his prize
pupil. Within a year shebecame the most accomplished sneak thief
and pickpocket in Cairo, she also became a superblockpick and escape
artist. Then, she had a short encounter with Xavier, when she tryed to steal him, but he stopped
her telephaticaly.



When Ororo was twelve, she felt a strong inner need to go south. She
spent a year travellingby foot from Cairo across the Sahara Desert until she reached the home
of her ancestors, theSorengeti Plain, which lies in both Kenya and
Tanzania. During this long journey she encountered theyoung T'Challa,
who would one day become the Black Panther. Ororo came to live on the Serengeti Plain beneath Mount
Kilimanjaro. By this time her mutant power to control the weather had emerged,
and she used this power to help several local tribes, who worshipped her as a goddess.
She contentedly spent years in there, until Professor Charles Xavier came
to Africa and persuaded her to join the X-Men. Ororo did, and
he gave her the code-name Storm.



Once, when the X-Men were fighting against the Morlocks, Storm fought in
personal combat with the Morlock's leader, Callisto. She defeated her,
and became the new leader of the Morlocks. Storm remained
with the X-Men, and allowed Callisto to rule in her absence, but the Morlocks
should obey Storm whenever she returns and gives them orders.



Storm's mutant powers created a psychic bond between herself and the primal life
force of the Earth's biosphere. This link may have been broken by a long
stay in outer space with the X-Men while battling the Brood. This may be
one of the factors underlying Storm's subsequent drastic changes
in her attitudes, hairstyle, and manner of dress. (but those changes were temporarly)



Once, Storm's fellow X-Man Rogue was wrongly accused of murdering an agent of the
intelligence agency SHIELD. Greatly distraught over personal matters,
Rogue left X-Men headquarters and secretly went to Mississippi,
where she had once lived. Storm follwed her there seeking to help her. Meanwhile,
Henry Peter Gyrich and Valerie Cooper, of the U.S. federal government
and accompanying troops were hunting down Rogue.
Gyrich, an agent of the National Security Council, had, with presidential
authorization, obtained the only working model of an untested "neutralizer"
device created by the mutant inventor known as Forge to deprive a superhuman being of his or her
superhuman powers. Storm found Rogue, but then they were found by Gyrich,
Cooper, and their troops. Forge, who objected to Gyrich's
obtainign the neutralizer, physically attempted to prevent Gyrich from
using the device on Rogue, but Gyrich instead shot Storm
with it as she attepmted to protect Rogue. Her superhuman
powers apparently entirely removed, Storm fell into a river, from which Forge
rescued her. Feeling guilt and responsibility for her loss of her
powers, Forge brought Storm to his headquerters in Dallas, Texas. There
Storm revived, and she and Forge grew strongly attracted to each other.
However, when Storm learned that Forge had designed the
neutralizer gun that had deprived her of her powers, she felt
betrayed and hated Forge.



Storm left the X-Men for a time to return to Africa, where she regained her
peace of mind. She returned (after wining a leadership battle to
Cyclops) to her role as leader of the X-Men despite having no
superhuman powers. Storm eventually regained her powers. Soon after this,
the Nanny caused Storm to regress to an child age. Storm found herself
in New Orleans, Louisiana where she teamed with the
mutant thief called Gambit, who helped her to defeat the Shadow
King and the Nanny. Storm eventually returned to the X-Men,
with Gambit. During a clash with the Genoshens, Storm was captured and subjected to
a process that returned her to her proper age.



Storm was appointed leader of the X-Men's Gold Team when it was decided to
split the group. Forge once proposed marriage to Ororo.
She would have said yes (she's not mad at him anymore), but
before she could do so, Forge left the X-Men deciding that
she could never give up her role. This hurt Storm greatly.



Storm later returned to Cairo and was reunited with Acmed el-Gibar,
he was dying, and she agreed to look after the children. Currently,
she is trying to deal with the newer, more troublesome X-Men, namely
Marrow - the Morlock she thought she had killed .
