Happy Friday everyone!

[@ericwilson8558]

Finally, Storm gets some recognition! She is a very powerful mutant, yet she's highly underrated! I would love to see more of her in the comics and in season 3 of x-men 97.

[@vginsprdsobepr9698]

Finally?! Have you ever read any of the X-Men comics? Storm has ALWAYS had recognition and admired by fans. Stop saying things you obviously know nothing about.

[@ericwilson8558]

@vginsprdsobepr9698 yo quit being a DB.

[@kristopherleslie8343]

If you didn’t know storm was a mutant you’d be blind and dumb

[@kristopherleslie8343]

She’s never been underrated she’s omega in her craft but she is easy to beat

[@nextlevelproductions7453]

She is NOT underrated. If anything she’s OP and overexposed but she’s still cool.

[@IAmImprintJones]

Getting the voice actress from The OG X-Men animated series whose still around voicing storm in 97' getting her ULTIMATE flowers with a marvel what if spot....i hope she gets an Emmy.

[@UltimateSpider1385]

I can't wait to see Goddess of Thunder Storm show up in Season 3 of What If.

[@edwardtdm123]

Storm in the Thor Corps? Talk about a powerhouse lineup! 💥

[@reyberinojr9706]

Meanwhile, Thor has a new Pet called Storm Breaker 😂😂

[@dacronic1646]

I think goddess of thunder lowers her. She’s the mistress of the elements. She commands so much more than just thunder. Anyway, so happy she’s joining what if…?

[@darrellbarnes2096]

This makes more sense than a lot of other characters playing Thor in the comics.

[@Richardiba]

Definitely a character arc that deserves to be exhibited for everyone to see in its full glory.

[@Earl_roy]

my favorite mutant!

[@AceBadguy]

Keep up the great work, guys!

[@variant]

Thanks!

[@Carey314]

I always wanted Angela Bassett to play Storm

[@CHARLESJOHNSON-gv7zy]

'I'M YOUR SUPERWOMAN' - STORM

[@AifDaimon]

AS SHE SHOULD!!!! *THE OMEGA'S OMEGA*

[@keithaipperspach5967]

Spiderman, Wolverine and Storm have always been my favorite heros

[@SlottiexBob]

This woman is a god amongst mortals and immortals, the bloodline that consists of a sorcerer supreme, she's an omega level mutant, and worthy!

[@49ers_red_and_gold2]

Storm!!! 🤩

[@jackieanderson9408]

This was sweet.

[@devontricmoore]

I’d love a solo storm game based off this but with the god of war vibes.

[@Makiyura]

Awesome stuff!

[@Willchannel90]

Divine chosen one Storm.

[@mrn9165]

I would love to see you enchantress from DC breakdown video plz

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of Odin, Heimdall, Lady Sif, the Warrior Three, Balder the Brave, Angela, and Beta-Ray-Bill along with the Thor Villains like the Destroyer, Malekith the Accursed, Hela the Goddess of Death, Surtur, the Roxxon_Minotaur, Ulik, Kurse, Amora the Enchantress and Mangog?

[@quentinfogger5755]

Since you did the history of the Ghost, M.O.D.O.K, the Mandarin and Fin_Fang_Foom, Can you do history of Iron Man villains like Ultimo, Iron Monger, Ezekiel Stane, Whiplash, Firebrand, Spymaster, Blizzard, Madam_Masque, Count_Nefaria, Temugin, Controller, Titanium Man and Crimson Dynamo?

[@BattleF08]

Honestly can't really imagine anyone more suited than Storm to be the God of Thunder.

[@quentinfogger5755]

Since you did the history of Midnight Man, Are you going to do history of other Moon Knight villains like Arthur Harrow, Shadow Knight, Bushman, the Zodiac Cartel, Stained Glass Scarlet, Moon_Shade and the Sun-King?

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video? Speaking of Mjolnir, when are you going to do history of Eric Masterson the Thunderstrike and Beta-Ray-Bill since they're the only people who are not Thor who are worthy of Mjolnir?

[@Blvck0ne]

If we are being honest Marvel Should focus more on Storm because she’s a marvelous character. She should be Thor much like Jane was Thor. With Odinson being the king of Asgard she could be the new Thor while also still being Storm.

[@marcussantos4816]

This year I grown more of love for the X-Men. Also a love and respect for Storm because damn she is awesome. For real the movies did not do some of these characters justice.

[@DJ-hx9oj]

i need more xmen, & mutant history

[@LifeNkuwait123]

I mean it makes soooo much sense😊!

[@donjoel6754]

So cool.

[@fan3oy]

Me: *stop hitting me please* My gf: What!?! Me: I speak not to you but to the nails I bought you.

[@420Yako]

Hope to see Ororo, especially if Jade Cargill is her!

[@Uncleed251]

Storm was already OP so OP storylines animation and film nerf her the ability to turn into a falcon should become a permanent ability of hers. Loki wants to use her but he also fell in love with her he keeps reforging Stormcaster even though it's obvious it's coming from him.

[@kingshadow8782]

Nice!

[@quentinfogger5755]

How long till you do history of the Thunderbolts and the Young Avengers since they're slowly forming in the MCU?

[@1slandgirlcaribbean304]

I ❤ Storm. I'd ❤ to see her in more comics. It's great to see strong, beautiful women kicking butt!

[@charlescaldwell1980]

I would like to see her and x men 97 as that character

[@jabbersjay6871]

I WOULD KILLLLLLL for Storm to get Stormcaster/Ming Ming/Stormbreaker!

[@quentinfogger5755]

When are you going to do history of Clea, America-Chavez, Speed and Wiccan in honor of the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness?

[@quentinfogger5755]

So how long till you do history of Arno_Stark Iron Man, Ezekiel Stane, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Whiplash, War Machine and Pepper Potts AKA Rescue?

[@donzellaboyce6649]

Live action! Please

[@jasonszeto7790]

Powers just gets toss around

[@jabbersjay6871]

I would love for Jane to come back and be co gods of Thunder with Storm! Having one god of thunder per team (Avengers/X-men)

[@Saimeren]

So if Storm needed the hammer and the power of Thor for all of these events, does this prove that Thor is more powerful in weather manipulation than Storm is? If she couldn't get the job done on her own and needed the Thor boost, I think that sais a lot.

[@vginsprdsobepr9698]

Thank you! I think Thor’s hammer nerfs her own abilities. I much prefer her having some disadvantage because it makes her more interesting.

[@Gradouthegoat29]

Thor is a god by the way of course he would be more powerful at controlling the weather than Strom ,Thor can summon lightning powerful enough to turn sentry/void to ash Strom can't do that because Strom lightning are normal while Thor lightning are magical in nature

[@Gradouthegoat29]

@vginsprdsobepr9698 well she keep her abilities since Thor has similar abilities but her Physically now is increases to godlike level just like Thor so that make her more power than she even been because she not only powerful Physically but her lightning become magical also

[@vginsprdsobepr9698]

@Gradouthegoat29 Thor only controls lighting while Storm controls all aspects of weather. Thor would most like be the winner in a battle (like he has been in the past) but now Storm can overpower him to a limit.

[@rhyssuy8361]

I think storm is more accurate in her weather control while Thor's weather control is more powerful because well magic

[@MikeTorio-dv3fu]

🌨️ cloudy freedom strike Gundam Seed

[@quentinfogger5755]

What do you think is the best thing about this comic book event and who is the best character?

[@quentinfogger5755]

Is it shocking and awesome seeing Storm with the powers of Thor even though she has the power to control the weather which includes lightning?

[@ChristianRMaglione]

Did she and Thor ever knock lightning bolts in the comics? 👉👌⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@Geezythegreat88]

Man that would be epic.

[@RobOlivierbjr64]

In an alternate universe, Storm and Thor share a daughter Thunderstorm 😎

[@inistark]

Kurotsuchi over Gaara is criminal.

[@quentinfogger5755]

What would happen if we saw this comic book event taking place on the Big Screen or TV Shows?

[@Lardfist0]

Cool 😎

[@kingshadow8782]

Wooohooo!

[@jabronjones5933]

Variant could you do Star Wars vs Marvel or Mcu

[@SohailSomwaru]

U also have Worthy Black Widow

[@MikeTorio-dv3fu]

Starhawks major Capt Major star Lord storm got twins

[@kingshadow8782]

🎉

[@sleepys7338]

Ultimate spiderman ?

[@saintzeroinfinity]

🌩️🔨

[@Saimeren]

Now THIS is how you do a female version of Thor. Jane Foster who?

[@theecataclysmicevent221]

A million times better than Jane foster Thor 😂

[@Unitedtribute]

I feel like these days, picking up thor's hammer is like surviving getting stabbed by a lightsaber. Pretty much anyone can do it.

[@pattgsm]

It will not be Stormcaster. 1. The shape is incorrect. 2. The average MCU fan has just learned how to pronounce Mjölnir. 3. With Stormbreaker already present (still without Beta Ray Bill), introducing a third hammer-contrary to MCU lore-would certainly solidify Thor's title as the God of Hammers. 😂😂😂

[@jasonpadgettCodm]

0:11 Storm has broken the scale once again. She is more than a goddess, she’s more than an omega mutant she is and will always be absolute power. Suck It phoenix

[@vginsprdsobepr9698]

Phoenix is a multiverse source of life. Storm is weaker than the Phoenix Force.

[@jasonpadgettCodm]

@ k thank for the info

[@newoldskool9737]

Damn, now Storm is limited to a “Thunder Goddess”… 🤷🏾‍♂️ This whole time i thought she manipulated ALL weather on an Omega level,,, Crazy-these guys really know their stuff 🤥

[@teareeutley3770]

That would be awesome if she wielded a hammer

[@MaxBraver555]

SThorm

[@cattameme]

Storm should NOT have the power of Thor. Ridiculous.

[@shawnbechard3680]

Lazy writing. She's a mutant not a god. Beta ray bill wasn't considered a god after beating thor and using his hammer.

[@jblack2512]

I’m so early

[@XHero220]

Why would they do something do stupid like that?

[@slickchick5811]

lol ego trip as always

[@EliJustChillin]

Yet another person can wield Mjölnir, I swear that hammer is a joke at this point.

[@Spllyn]

What a silly premise, what else to expect from marvel.

[@seantylerfermin4927]

Superheroes alone are a silly premise, yet you still watch em... 🤡

[@RaphielHot]

🤣🤣🤣🤣💩✊🏿🧚🏿

[@Joshuadalewillis]

Excellent idea, but the time of the female lead is over, reality is about to come back

[@thomaslknights1710]

Mispronounced Beta?

[@EylonBelkin]

Eww marvel is so bad

[@seantylerfermin4927]

Not as much as this comment 🤡

[@vginsprdsobepr9698]

Why does Storm need Thor’s hammer? She can already increase her lightning voltage with her own will and has more weather powers than Thor. Making her reliant on Thor’s hammer makes her seem weaker.

[@Gradouthegoat29]

But no they made it clear in immortal comics Thor is more powerful at weather manipulation than Strom because they are not normal they are magical in nature and can do a lot more damage.

[@vginsprdsobepr9698]

@Gradouthegoat29 The comics made it clear that Thor only has power over lighting, oak trees, and frogs. Storm has power over all the weather and her weather powers are also magical so she’s his equal. He has super strength and durability while his hammer can pack a hard punch. Storm can wield his hammer and is not immortal like him but can affect the weather to a point that she can completely overpower him in a battle though not kill him.

[@5ilasTheViru5]

So stupid. When are they going to write a story where some random character becomes Storm? Because apparently every one of these stupid characters is just a title to be passed around.
