Ororo Munroe is a powerful mutant with weather-manipulating abilities, prestigiously known as the windriding Storm.[35] Having been orphaned after a plane crashed on and destroyed her home, the young Ororo became a sneak thief on the streets of Cairo under the tutelage of Achmed El Gibár. As a teenager, Ororo travelled to the Serengeti plains of Kenya, home of her mother's tribe,[36] where she was venerated by the locals as a goddess for using her abilities to ease the droughts in the arid desert. Eventually approached by Professor Xavier. Ororo adopted the name Storm to join his X-Men, a mutant group aimed at implementing peace between humans and mutants.[35]
As an X-Man, Storm has had the opportunity to explore the universe in unexpected ways, rising to prominence in the group and being the leader of the team for years.[37] Her challenging experiences have led her to connect herself to violent aspects of her soul she had never believed to possess.[38] After losing her powers,[39] Storm embarked on a self-discovery journey to reconnect to the source of her abilities.[40][41] Later, she formed her own division of X-Men apart from Xavier's[42] with official sanction as a mutant police force.[43] Storm also has strong ties with the nation of Wakanda, being its former queen due to her marriage to the Black Panther.[44]
Following the foundation of the mutant-exclusive nation on the living island of Krakoa,[29] Storm has joined the Krakoan Quiet Council, the ultimate mutant government body.[45] She has also become regent of the newly terraformed Planet Arrako, being part of its ruling faction, the Great Ring.[46] In order to act on behalf of the Arakkii people, Storm has assembled a Brotherhood.[47]
