Storm: Dawn of a Goddess

Storm: Dawn of a Goddess

Tiffany D. Jackson

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Before she was the super hero Storm of Marvel's X-Men, she was Ororo of Cairo—a teenaged thief on the streets of Egypt, until her growing powers catch the eye of a villain who steals people's souls. Few can weather the storm. As a thief on the streets of Cairo, Ororo Munroe is an expert at blending in—keeping her blue eyes low and her white hair beneath a scarf. Stealth is her specialty . . . especially since strange things happen when she loses control. Lately, Ororo has been losing control more often, setting off sudden rainstorms and mysterious winds . . . and attracting dangerous attention. When she is forced to run from the Shadow King, a villain who steals people's souls, she has nowhere to turn to but herself. There is something inside her, calling her across Africa, and the hidden truth of her heritage is close enough to taste. But as Ororo nears the secrets of her past, her powers grow stronger and the Shadow King veers closer and closer. Can she outrun the shadows that chase her? Or can she step into the spotlight and embrace the coming storm?

    No one can change a storm’s path. Only then storm can do that for itself. A storm, like you, can never be controlled. Because a storm has a destiny. 

    Thank you, Partner @cocoachapters @getunderlined! 

    As if it’s not super obvious… I’m a HUGE marvel fan. I’m still fangirling a bit that I was given this opportunity to be on this tour!! 

    Ororo Monroe aka Storm’s backstory is one of my favorites! She constantly diminishes herself in the hopes that one day she will be normal. Just like many black girls who have deemed themselves as not good enough, or not up to the standards set by society. As Ororo pushes through this we see her slowly become Storm, and accept herself and her ancestry that set her on this journey. 

    On this Journey, we get to see the budding relationship between Ororo and T’Challa (Son, not Dad)! 

    I really hope one day we get Storm’s story translated into film! 

    ⚡️Fun fact: Storm is an Omega level Mutant!! Meaning she has really no limit to her powers. Making her one of the most powerful Mutant on Earth!
