History ComicBook / Storm

* ButNotTooBlack: Black, variably dark skin, but with white and Asian features, and blue eyes. She was supposed to have features of many races, to resemble Gaia. However, this largely depends on the artist. It's important to mention that this is not due to racism, but rather to late artist Dave Cockrum's intention to make her a "woman of the world".

* AndNowYouMustMarryMe / WeCanRuleTogether: No less than five of Storm's long-term enemies, including SelfDemonstrating/DoctorDoom and '''{{DRACULA}}''', have had designs on making her their queen or consort as part of their villainous master plan.

* TokenMinority: Not within the X-Men itself, but often in various general Marvel Universe products. As Storm is arguably Marvel's most popular non-white superhero, it's not uncommon to see her in Marvel Universe group shots on backpacks, posters, lunchboxes, video games and other merchandise as the sole character of color. Then Marvel started including TheFalcon as well.

* SuperpowerLottery: She's often considered one of the most powerful X-Men out there, second only to the likes of ComicBook/XMan, Phoenix, or SelfDemonstrating/{{Magneto}}.

Storm is one of the most popular and recognizable members of the X-Men as well as one of the most recognizable and notable black superheroes, and one of Marvel's most popular female heroes.

Alexandra Shipp will play a younger version of Storm in ''Apocalypse''.

* GoodIsNotSoft: As mentioned above, she's one of the nicest members of the X-Men. However, if she is pushed too far, either by [[MamaBear her friends being threatened]] or the arising of a situation that her ethics will not stand for, she will go to extreme lengths in retaliation. Two notable instances were her first battle with [[TheRival Callisto]], and years later, her battle with [[AxCrazy Marrow]], Callisto's extremist protégé.

Though in recent years Marvel has started including TheFalcon as well.

* ThighHighBoots: Many of her outfits.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Storm was almost raped in Kenya when she was younger and killed the man with a knife. She swore that she would never take another life. While in recent years she's lightened up from this restriction, for the most part she still adheres to it to the best of her ability.

* {{Memetic Sex God}}dess: InUniverse -- and out of universe!! People just can't help falling for her.

* ReallyGetsAround: She's been involved in many relationships with heroes and villains alike. [[spoiler: She lost her virginity when she was twelve years old.]]

* ImportantHaircut: Her Mohawk didn't survive the eighties, but it did signify a newfound toughness the character has held onto.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Her relationships with Jean, Callisto, and Yukio have all raised a lot of eyebrows. With Jean, it's subtle, and they love each other "like sisters". With Yukio and Callisto, it really isn't. Many fans point to an annual issue of ''Uncanny X-Men'', where Ororo's greatest desire is to chuck everything and go live in Japan with Yukio, as evidence of Storm's bisexuality. This is not something that later writers chose to engage with, however.

* PhysicalGod: She considered herself this at times in her past, due to being worshiped as one, and often uses the term to intimidate her foes, but is in fact a mortal {{Mutant}}, if a very powerful one, and as such is always completely outmatched by ComicBook/TheMightyThor, even repeatedly under Claremont's pen. She is very powerful by human standards, and can potentially cause great natural disasters, but is very far from a world-buster or high level reality-manipulator. Her powers have shown the ability to gradually cause larger-scale weather manipulation than the usual quick-draw local effects. She ''could'' be a world-buster if she were of a mind to be and had time to make it happen, but... there are characters who could do worse in under two seconds. However, she was granted additional power by Loki at one point, and on another was shown as a member of "The Twelve". And in ''WhatIf... the X-Men Had Stayed in Asgard?'', Storm became the new Goddess of Thunder, complete with her own Mjolnir.
