Anok Yai (December 20, 1997) is an Egyptian-born American fashion model of South Sudanese descent. She was born in Cairo and her family moved to Manchester, New Hampshire when she was 2. Her mother is a nurse and her father works for Easterseals; her sister Alim is her manager and a financial consultant. She graduated from Manchester High School West and attends Plymouth State University studying biochemistry, intending to become a doctor. Yai was discovered in October 2017 during Howard University's homecoming week, by a professional photographer who asked to take her picture. He posted the photo on Instagram, accruing over 20,000 "likes", and modeling agencies, including IMG Models, asked to get in touch with her. She eventually chose to sign with Next Model Management, who had called her daily for several weeks. Within 4 months, she became the first Sudanese model to open a Prada fashion show.
Loosely inspired by her iconic 1980s transformation, this miniseries strips Storm of her godhood. After a specialized power-neutralizing weapon dampens her mutant abilities, a traumatized and claustrophobic Ororo flees the X-Mansion, unable to cope with the silence in her head where the wind used to be. She descends into the subterranean tunnels of New York City, stumbling into the Morlocks—a community of outcast mutants. To protect this fragile society from a predatory mutant hunting club called the Marauders, Ororo must reinvent herself. Trading her cape for leather and her lightning for a combat knife, she fights to claim the underground throne through sheer willpower and tactical brilliance.
