History Recap / DeathBattleS08E14KorraVSStorm

Elements like fire and earth that Storm had no immediate access to could theoretically allow Korra to exploit Storm's claustrophobia, but given that Storm's own lightning could scale to mutants capable of punching all the way down to the Earth's core, the X-Man would be able to ensure would not stay trapped for long. Not only that, but the planetary-level storms and star-level feats Ororo could output put her already as being nearly 250 times stronger than anything the water bender could match. Even taking the fight to the spirit world would prove to be for naught, as Storm's abilities have worked in alternate dimensions and alien planets. Also, as Storm's mutant abilities are genetic in nature as opposed to spiritual, Korra cannot utilize energy bending to de-power her opponent. To hammer the point down, Storm is in possession of multiple ways she could've ended the fight in an instant that Korra had simply no chance of countering, like taking the air out of her lungs or lobotomization via frying her brain with lightning strikes. Overall, Storm was simply too fast, strong and experienced for the young Avatar to stand a chance against, marking a premature end to Korra's legendary journey.

* WrongContextMagic: Storm's weather manipulation isn't spiritual in any way, shape, or form and comes from a different source altogether. As such, Korra cannot take away Storm's powers since her energybending ''only'' works on fellow benders.

The Avatar lineage has met its end at the hands of a more than worthy combatant, and the hosts begin to break down how Marvel's weather witch claimed victory. Korra proved to be one of the greatest benders in the ''Avatar'' universe, and was more than capable of handling the best of the best. However, as befitting her origins, Storm was just on a level of power she could not simply compare to. For starters, Ororo's massively hypersonic flight speeds and ability to detect all forms of weather meant that she could safely battle from a distance. Even if Korra were to close in the gap somehow and utilize her martial arts skills, Storm has had more than enough experience dealing with expert-level martial artists in the Marvel universe to prepare herself. Korra is ruled to be fast enough to dodge lightning bolts, but Storm has dodged beams of light; even disregarding that, Storm's own flight speeds being fast enough to enter orbit within seconds already makes her potentially 20 times faster than Korra.

->'''Wiz:''' Avatar Korra, master of all four elements.\\
'''Boomstick:''' Storm, the X-Men's goddess of the... storms... weather.\\

-->'''Boomstick:''' Don't get ''bend-t'' out of shape. Korra just couldn't weather the ''Storm''.

[[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Avatar Korra]], the master of all four elements. [[Characters/MarvelComicsStorm Storm]], the X-Men's goddess of storms. The building blocks of our natural world are nothing if not tempestuous and unpredictable, which means you gotta be some kind of badass to control them.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Done by ''both'' sides. Korra uses the lightning Storm conjures to try and stun her long enough to use her energybending on her ([[OutsideContextMagic not that it would have worked, but points for trying]]), only for Storm to do the same, only instead of stunning Korra, she goes for a killing blow in the form of a finger gun.

* OutsideContextMagic: Arguably the biggest factor behind Korra's defeat. Storm's weather manipulation isn't spiritual in any way, shape, or form and comes from a different source altogether. As such, Korra cannot take away Storm's powers since her energybending ''only'' works on fellow benders.

* CurbStompBattle: This episode was so one-sided in Storm's favor that even the fight animation made no attempt to hide it, with Storm either dodging, countering, or brushing off most of Korra's attacks before blasting a hole in her head with no effort. Then while Korra is city level at best, Storm is planet level and Korra couldn't depower her with energybending because Storm's powers come from a different source from benders.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Attempted and played straight, as Korra attempts to use the storm that Storm summoned as a lightning source, trying to redirect the lightning to finish Storm off... only for Storm to redirect ''her'' lightning bending, using lightning to kill the Avatar successfully.

* BoomHeadshot: Korra ends up dying to this, from a lightning based ''finger gun'' from Storm that blows a huge hole in the back of her head.

* TheCameo: Once again, the Cabbage Merchant from ''The Last Airbender'' appears and has his wares destroyed per usual, this time both his wares ''and'' himself get sucked in by Storm's winds.
