Born and raised in Africa, Storm learned early of her abilities to control the elements of weather. She can also fly. Storm is second in command to Cyclops and leads the team when he is absent or incapacitated. She behaves almost like a goddess -- regal, dignified, and elegant. Her only vulnerability is her claustrophobia, a result of a childhood trauma.

Ororo's parents died when she was a young child in Egypt. She became a beggar and eventually a thief in the streets in Cairo under the cities crimelord, the Shadow King. When Xavier was traveling through Egypt, she pickpocketed him and when he found out that she was a mutant, he invited her to join the Xavier Institute. (Xaiver Remembers -Flashback-)

In the X-Men, Ororo was the second in command to Cyclops. Her nurturing nature made her a mother figure to Jubilee and her control was a balance to the rage of Wolverine and Gambit.

Her team mate Cyclops was kidnapped by the Morlock Calisto and Storm took command of the team. In the confilict with the underground mutant group, Storm dueled with Calisto for the fate of Cyclops and won. Her victory also made her ruler of the Morlocks, a title she soon reliquished. (Captive Hearts)
