The X-Men universe is always full of surprises! Storm is taking on a new adventure as a solo hero, but her first big move has already caused some major conflict with her longtime ally, Cyclops. Get ready, because this could change everything!

Storm's Solo Debut

In Storm #1 (released in 2024) from Marvel Comics, Storm finds herself dealing with a tough situation. While she's busy saving innocent people, she discovers a brand new mutant!

The story takes us back in time to show the problems brewing for the X-Men.

  • Storm is getting ready for new changes in the Marvel Universe as she is currently working with The Avengers! In the series Avengers #18 we can see she is trying to bridge the gap with Cyclops' team.
  • Cyclops is leading a whole new X-Men team! In the recent X-Men #2 we see how they handle one of the toughest moments! They encounter another mutant who's created a pretty intense problem with their new abilities! Cyclops makes a bold choice! The situation involves hiding this new mutant's role.

This creates a big divide for Storm and Cyclops. In her latest appearance, Storm chose to publicly reveal the information about this new mutant and her decision flies directly in the face of how Cyclops had reacted. Their decision set things up for some truly interesting moments to see what the fallout could look like. That sets the stage for the conflict with this series.

We could be heading into an era where things might not go as planned! Storm chose to show what was happening for a recent nuclear accident that she believes is because of another mutant.

It looks like this could seriously damage her relationship with Cyclops! Even worse, is that it seems it is something that might leave all X-Men members disappointed, possibly damaging some key alliances.

  • Storm made it clear in her first series that being an equal in The Avengers is what she desires most.
  • Storm's choice makes her stance against Cyclops' approach all the more apparent.
  • She is now also connected to another X-Men group, Havok X-Factor team, whose ideology couldn't be further removed from Cyclops' approach.

Could it be the time when things fall apart completely for the X-Men franchise? The next major crossover, "Raid on Graymalkin" will pit various factions of the X-Men against one another and they're making very powerful decisions over ideologies.

  • Cyclops' and Rogue's teams will really battle it out!
  • This may involve liberating Graymalkin.
  • It's still not clear about the main issues that Rogue's side has! It appears it may lead to more divides as they really make big decisions.
  • This shows the complexity between all members, especially if you consider what Storm will do as the tensions rise!

Storm's most recent decision may impact her own allies and leave many in suspense, possibly giving us some insight into what happens next as she takes on some major new enemies! This first issue certainly ends with a dramatic climax to leave X-Men fans truly hoping for more. It looks like a new and exciting era that gives these powerful Marvel Comics superheroes something completely new! If you want to get caught up, you will have to pick up your copy of Storm #1 and you might also get even more of an insight into just how compelling these big decisions made by these heroes and their choices are made in X-Men and Uncanny X-Men, it looks to create one truly dramatic crossover that's sure to please and also cause great concern amongst all X-Men and Marvel fans!
