Fun fact - in the comics Forge made a gun that strips away mutant powers, and the government tried to use in on Rogue (which, having absorbed Ms. Marvel, was much more of a threat than her version in the Fox movies) - but Storm, ignorant to the gun's purpose, took the bullet for her. After that, lamenting the loss of her powers became her entire personality for a while. Comics being comics eventually she got them back - but I think that she is still a bit salty about this, and it shows in that scene.

Refresh my memory. Was that when she got the mohawk haircut and started dressing like Grace Jones back-up dancers?

They were a year apart. the mohawk and costume change debuted first in #173 (1983) and Storm lost her powers in #185 (1984).

I bow to your expertise.

I'm salty you made fun of my favorite Storm fit, but that was hilariously accurate.

And Grace is still in the game.

I think she was just trying to copy Callisto's style.

Just did a quick check. Storm's first appearance was 1975, almost fifty years ago.

I guess she's allowed to have a few different looks.

Lifedeath. One of my absolute favorite Storm arcs. Such a great story and the art is top notch.

Is the movie canon with the comics, though?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The comics are barely canon with the comics.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

The movies are barely canon with the movies, too, for that matter.

They are completely separate continuities.
