This is Why I love Storm

I was reminded by io9, about the time I fell in love with Storm.

Picture it, 1983 in Union City, TN...

My grandmama worked at a drug store called Super D. While I was waiting on her to clock out, I picked up Uncanny X-Men #173 and saw this picture.I thought this woman was fantastic! She was Grace Jones-Warrior -Fashion-Goddess-Super Hero. I was instantly drawn to her and this pic.

It was then, I was a child Ororo for life.

You ain't the only one!
Storm is the only character I love more than Wonder Woman and Superman.
1.) I thought controlling the weather was the coolest power in the world.
2.) I love strong women.
Needless to say I still carry a torch for the beautiful wind rider.

Ditto! I'm a big Storm fan. I don't know when it started, but I just LOVE her.

You already know my feelings on her. So, I'm just gonna say Amen to that. ;)

Hmm, I think it might be safe to say Storm was a lot of gay Marvel fans' "favorite" back in the day. I remember this issue oh so well, and Kitty Pride's reaction to Storm Punk transformation. LOL.

Classic. Thanks for the memory V.

I'm very laid back and easy going. I like to meet people, read, talk about politics, culture and life. I am a huge comic book fan (X-Men family and Wonder Woman) I also want to say that I am a proud black gay man...no 'down low' drama here
