Ororo Monroe is the descendant of an ancient line of African priestesses, all of whom have white hair, blue eyes, and the potential to wield magic. Her mother was an African princess who married an American photojournalist and moved to Manhattan where Ororo was born. The couple relocated to Cairo, Egypt, where they were killed when Ororo was five years old. Forced to survive on her own, she became a skilled thief and was caught picking the pocket of Professor Charles Xavier, a powerful telepath and leader of the X-Men.

Ororo’s ability to control the weather emerged during her time in Africa, where she was worshiped as a goddess for her gift. She was later recruited by Professor Xavier to join the X-Men and given the codename "Storm."

As with Uhura of Star Trek fame, I know/knew very little of this character. Thanks for the intro on her past. I think controlling the weather is a pretty awesome superpower; actually, controlling or being able to cause cataclysmic events is pretty effin awesome. ;)
