Hated by the masses of people as well as the mutants, the X-Men find opposition when they merely want to learn how to control the use of their special gift. The departure from reality to comic book story pits mutants against mutants in a fight which ends at the Statue of Liberty. All this from a comic book. Certainly not Stan Lee or his legions of fans who flocked to buy the stories of colored-in characters. By the way, of all the characters, one was Black.
Storm is a strong, proud, brave, confident, Black woman.
She is the kind of character Angela Bassett could have really portrayed with added comic relief. But in the movie version which has finally made it to the big screen Berry gets the role. Perhaps the onscreen Storm would have found more appeal had the comics not present an Egyptian woman of forceful appeal. This miscast, outcast is the weakest link and most timid of the force of X-Men powers. When animated figures are transformed to real, life characters expectations are high.
