== Charactah Account ==
Ororo Munroe is a powerful mutant with weather-manipulating abilities, prestigiously known as the windriding Storm. Having been orphaned after a plane crashed on and destroyed her home, the young Ororo became a sneak thief on the streets of Cairo under the tutelage of Achmed El Gibár. As a teenager, Ororo travelled to the Serengeti plains, where she was venerated by the locals as a goddess for using her abilities to ease the droughts in the arid desert. Eventually approached by Professor Xavier. Ororo adopted the name Storm to join his X-Men, a mutant group aimed at implementing peace between humans and mutants.
As an X-Man, Storm has had the opportunity to explore the universe in unexpected ways, rising to prominence in the group and being the leader of the team for years. Her challenging experiences have led her to connect herself to violent aspects of her soul she had never believed to possess. After losing her powers, Storm embarked on a self-discovery journey to reconnect to the source of her abilities. Later, she formed her own division of X-Men apart from Xavier's with official sanction as a mutant police force. Storm also has strong ties with the nation of Wakanda, being its former queen due to her marriage to the Black Panther.
Following the foundation of the mutant-exclusive nation on the living island of Krakoa, Storm has joined the Krakoan Quiet Council, the ultimate mutant government body. She has also become regent of the newly terraformed Planet Arrako, being part of its ruling faction, the Great Ring. In order to act on behalf of the Arakki people, Storm has assembled a Brotherhood.

== Trivia ==
* Storm was originally conceived by Dave Cockrum as "the Black Cat," a character who could transform into a feline creature or a house cat. The character was shelved for a time, along with the rest of the new X-Men project, and ultimately made redundant by the large number of cat-themed characters that had been introduced in the interim. When the project resumed, it was decided that the team needed another female character, and Roy Thomas suggested replacing the weather-controlling Typhoon with a female equivalent. Cockrum then quickly outlined the idea for Storm, leaving the Black Cat costume unchanged but changing the character's hair from brunette to white.
* In the 70s, Dave Cockrum planned to create an all-female team named The Furies which teamed-up Storm with Clea, Tigra, Namorita, Dragonfly, and a new character called Moon Fang. Despite the book being tentatively greenlit, Cockrum never finished the plot for the team's first story, and the idea eventually fell apart.
* The name "Ororo" means "Beauty".
* In Uncanny X-Men #253 while Storm was in the hospital after being reverted into a pre-teen body, one of the doctors said, "But her features don't fit any conventional classification. Not Negroid, Caucasian, or Oriental -- Yet somehow, an amalgam of the rarest elements of them all."
* Storm is currently one of the only people on Earth-616 who has been a member of the X-Men, Avengers, and Fantastic Four. The others are Spider-Man and Wolverine.
* Storm's original spacious attic garden and bed room was made for her by Nightcrawler. With the destruction of the original X-Mansion, Storm, has since taken up residency and rebuilt her garden in one of the many free floating towers of the new Grey School.
* Ororo was a partial nudist, due to her time being worshipped as a goddess, and during her time with X-Men. She eventually learned from Jean to dress regularly in clothing.
* In celebration of Marvel Comics 80th anniversary, Storm, along with Mystique and Dark Phoenix were featured in a special line of Barbie fashion dolls.
* In X-Men #102, Ororo's birth year is given as being late 1950 or early 1951, thus making her 25 during the issue at hand.
* The Rain Queens from from Balobedu people (South Africa) are called Mujaji or Modjadji, who possibly inspired the creation of the goddess Mujaji, one of the Orisha, the Gods of Wakanda.
