Storm Fan Art Honors Mutant Goddesses' Legacy in Pop Culture
Original X-Men and esteemed weather goddess, Storm, is the subject of brand new fan art that celebrates the mutant's legacy and importance in pop culture.
Ororo Munroe, aka Storm, remains a popular figure in Marvel history. Born with the mutant ability to control the weather, Storm makes her debut in the Giant-Size X-Men #1 (1975) as a member of Xavier's X-Men. Created by Gil Kane and Dave Cockrum, Storm is one of Marvel's first black superheroes to show up in comics, alongside Sam Wilson, Luke Cage, and future ex-husband Black Panther. Storm's strength in leadership is what led her to lead the X-Men and later join the Avengers. Despite her brief tenure with Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Storm's reputation and loyalty even gain her the respect of Iron Man as an official Avenger.

's breathtaking piece of Storm perfectly captures the Marvel hero's excellence. In her stunning goddess costume and royal crown, the X-Men hero stands proud in a gorgeous pose. Surrounding her are hues of blue that perfectly symbolize the cooling rains of her mutant powers. The vibrant greens, yellows, and reds at the palm of her hands represent the heat radiation caused by her powerful lightning bolts summoning. The artist also revealed the inspiration behind the Goddess of Thunder's design to be non-other than British actress Michaela Coel. A befitting model for the former queen of Wakanda since Coel will be starring in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever as an undisclosed character.
