Marvel needs to do a story where all mutants and superpowered beings live on a duplicate Earth, and it gives homosapiens everything it asks for, leaving it vulnerable to superpowered aliens like the Kree, Galactus, or some other menace.

Storm has summoned the power of MILLIONS OF STARS in the galactic core, defeated the Trion God's and started warping their dimension, created a mini sun out of thin air for a planet that would last them "the rest of their days" and one shotted the demon lord Adversary. For those who don't know...

[@afro_princess1671]

True.. and easily defeated dozens of the New Lethal Legion who easily overpowered the Emperial Guards. Vulcan at his best couldn't even defeat the Emperial Guards. That feat alone should put Storm above Vulcan, and she was holding back. She didn't want to go toe to toe with vulcan for 2 reasons. 1- because the planet that she represents would be heavily damaged 2- she and the Arraki work as teammates, teaching them to change their ways of fighting alone..

[@KryyssTV]

Given that Vulcan can control any energy but is stalemated by Robert DuCosta and Ororo suggests that he cannot manipulate energy that is already being controlled. Since Storm is able to manipulate energy and air pressure she is on the same scale as Vulcan and DuCosta has full control over his body of pure energy meaning they're both capable of negating Vulcan's influence entirely.

[@IStevenSeagal]

PIS. Read on him. He can manipulate any energy on an omega level. Furthermore Marvel in their hierarchy classed Storm and Sunspot as level 5. Vulcan is classed level 9! He's on par with Odin, Galactus, Franklin Richards, Surtur, Uatu etc.

[@Ando1428]

@@IStevenSeagal yeah but you forget a few things. 1 those stats rarely change. They might get like a footnote to explain stuff. And secondly every time these mutants have died their power has increased. Plus with these power types it's more on how you control that power instead of the magnitude sometimes. Lastly did we get a good handle on his power when Darwin wasn't connected to him? I always thought Darwin was the bulk of his power.

[@KryyssTV]

@@IStevenSeagal But we can only go on most recent evidence so the other possibility is that Vulcan isn't as powerful since returning from the Cancerverse.

I've been so hyped to learn more about Fisher King. He is a mysterious ass bastard and I'm dying to know more, damn it!

[@darrius3022]

Storm is literally capable of drawing power of Sun and Stars light years away. With her mutant powers, she and Vulcan are equal because Storm's power also involves the electromagnetic spectrum and energy manipulation. It is how she psionically controls the weather. We've seen her perspective of using her powers she sees the world as energy and manipulates the pattern. So, like Tarn, she can cancel out his ability to drain energy. Leaving their fight to be about HOW they use them with the person who uses their tools more effectively and having the stronger will winning. She's stated in this fight and their previous fight that she shows him restraint and mercy in how she fights him. It's not weakness. Her goal was to show mutants of Arrako that if they work together, they can easily neutralize a threat in ways more efficiently than they can individually. Vulcan against mutants like Storm, Magneto, Tarn, Exodus, Jean, Jope, Cable etc. Will never go in his favor because they will always be able to tap into their powers which as Omegas have no upper limit and match what he put out while also using superior battle strategy and logic to defeat him.

[@alancarnell2747]

Garbage. Not saying you're wrong but making people that powerful is stupid. Anyone that powerful would destroy whatever planet they're on. Even Storm who wants to protect earth. Drawing that much power would vaporize the planet even if it was "just" our Sun. Heroes need limits. Such as you describe, they are gods and have no meaningful limits. Boring and stupid.

[@sovereign2989]

See why people hated the fight? It was a cop out. What she even needed them for was unnecessary. It was just q whole mess of meh. Anyways we move on.

[@darrius3022]

@sovereign2989 Again, it was to teach them about working together it was her point. She showed them that, and they got a glimpse of it with her and Magneto throughout the series. A lot of people have shorter attention spans and patience, and I get it. The slow burns and then quick pace endings in modern era of X men leave it easy to get detached from or complain about. But as a whole the stories in Xmen Red and Immortal x-men are the best among the top stories in the past 20 years. Sins of Sinister #1 and Storm and the Brotherhood #1 are good payoffs to the last year plus of comics and actually makes sense as a progression.

[@StormTheeOmega]

Look how you ate that 👏🏿

[@darrius3022]

@alancarnell2747 There are levels to all of their powers. I don't take issues with someone being capable of destroying a planet, learning to control that, and fighting the good fight without being overly destructive. They avoid destructive use because once they do, there is little chance to undo what's done. What is boring or I take issue with is power sets like overused reality warping on universal scale amd over population of Cosmic entities in a ever changing for the sake of story Cosmic hierarchy. Vulcan and Storm aren't taking on the Living Tribunal or Entirety of The Phoenix Force. Those types of stories I find boring of new Cosmic entity that somehow out does older supposedly absolute Cosmic entities over and over.

[@jbabylucus1641]

Why it look like Paibok and frenzy might be thing sooner later. Got the smoky eyes going on I see Edit: Rob even Sunspot knew he'd lose to Gabriel. Gabriel manipulates all energy, he could mess Sunspot up without having to use fire. Storm has manipulated the entire energy output of a galactic core. That alone puts her on the level of vulcan if not above it

[@brnticuzjai860]

Since Hickman run I am loving everything mutants

[@Marx1684]

+# for each card that has been moved ongoing on a snap card decreasing in power each turn for Vulcan. 4 card. Vulcan should be able to tap into kinetic energy ranging from heart beats down to movement within cellular structure once written proper. Good call.

[@tracyalan7201]

Interesting. I suspected Fisher King to be the father of Kora and her sister but Rob is the first one that I've heard reach that same idea. As for the future of Abigail Brand along with Fisher King act, I was in the dark but now after listening to Rob, makes me wonder if they will pop up in the Sins of Sinister. Given the connection of Orchis and Orbis Stellara along with Destiny meeting with Stellara, in Storm and the Brotherhood in Sins of Sinister, I'm wondering if they will pop up being a factor for resetting the X-men away from Sins of Sinister timeline back to some Marvel normalcy (whatever that is). It might be that Cable, being an aspect of future time traveler throws Destiny's perception off because, he changes the timelines by his departure/arrival a bit, throwing off definite plans, where Cable has already been aware of Destiny's past actions which always gives him a slight edge of changing some events from occurring. We'll have to wait and see. Good summary.
