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.

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.
