Personality and History
Personality:
Amora is famous for her aristocratic behavior. She lives a luxurious life, owning several mansions throughout the nine realms, and even endowing herself with the power to make gold and diamonds with her tears. She often spends time searching for the finest clothing.
She has shown to incredibly ruthless, torturing a water nymph to discover more about the Beyonder, however, this was fuelled more by fear than cruelty. Unlike most Asgardians, she does not underestimate mortals, despite her disdain for them, due to her experience dealing with them. Amora is not above fleeing a pointless battle, believing such expenditure is only required when there is something to gain. She is incredibly quick-thinking and pragmatic (surprisingly more so than most female villains during the '60s) and is not overconfident in her abilities.
Amora has a habit of seducing men, hence her gaining the title of Enchantress. She is known for her cruelty with men, making them feel important and loved while only using them. She has shown willing to sleep with three Dwarves at once to gain a necklace she desired, showing her willingness to use her body as a weapon. She does have limits, however, refusing to sleep with Odin, although she often cruelly tempted and teased him. Her seduction of men is fuelled more by her fear of being alone than control, however, and she has been known to become depressed should a male ally of hers become injured, and she easily falls in love. Despite her many years of pining after Thor and manipulating The Executioner as a tool, she genuinely grieved for him after he died. Something that surprised many people, and had Thor not talked her out of it, she would have destroyed Yggdrasil just to free him from death.[citation needed]
Amora has shown to be quite vengeful. She often throws a parting shot at her enemies when and if fleeing, and is more than willing to stab an old enemy in the back in the name of revenge. She once cursed the entire planet in retaliation for her necklace being destroyed
Biography
Early Ragnarök Eras
Through time and the eras of Ragnarök, the goddess known for her astonishing beauty went by several names, including Freyja, Iduna, Idun, Gefn, Mardöll, Enchantress.[6]
Her goddesses and feminine perfectness were the only ones who could convince Yggdrasill from giving her the Golden Apples. At some point, she was married to Bragi.
Era of the Third Ragnarök
On the third era of Ragnarök, a Frost Giant disguised himself as a mason and offered to repair the great hole in the wall in a year, in exchange for the Enchantress' hand. The gods were outraged, and Loki proposed to seal the deal with six months in place of a year, to defeat the mason, who was allowed only his tool and his steed for help. The Enchantress has not consulted on the matter.
Facing Odin's wrath at the Mason soon victory, Loki had to make the mason fail. He changed into a mare, distracted the steed, and the wall was not finished. Angered at his defeat and at Loki's suspected treachery, the Frost Giant revealed himself, before being killed by Thor.
Era of the Eleventh Ragnarök
Loki, possibly going through the same history, was eventually banished. He was approached by a Frost Giant in eagle disguise who asked him the Enchantress a bride. Loki went to Idun, tricked her into bringing her to Muspel to witness Golden Apples similar to her, but in truth brought her to the Frost Giant. She became his harem queen against her will. Deprived from the Apples, the Asgardians withered, and Loki was eventually denounced. He went to deliver her, but both were saved by the timely arrival of Thor, who killed the Frost Giant. Returned to Asgard, Enchantress was able to deliver the Apples to her fellows.
Era of the Twenty-Third Ragnarök
In later Ragnarök cycles, she was usurped her role by others, including Idunn.
Origin
Amora was born somewhere in Asgard, her parentage unknown. While still in adolescence, she ran away to the land of the Norns and apprenticed herself to Karnilla, one of the most powerful sorceresses in all the Asgardian dimension. There she studied all the basic arts of Asgardian magic until Karnilla expelled her for being too undisciplined. She picked up further mystical skills from seducing other Asgardian magi and wizards.
Brunnhilde the Vakyrie
Centuries ago, Amora enlisted Brunnhilde, leader of Odin's Valkyries, in her plans of conquest. However, Brunnhilde soon became aware of Amora's immoral ends and sought to end their partnership. Amora then used her magic to entrap Brunnhilde within a mystical crystal of souls. Only relatively recently was Brunnhilde freed from Amora's spell.
The Executioner
The Enchantress seduced Skurge the Executioner into assisting her in many of her schemes over the years. But while the Executioner was so infatuated with the Enchantress that he would do anything for her, she continually withheld her favors from him to keep him in thrall.
Thor
In her first encounter with Thor after he gained his human identity of Don Blake, the Enchantress attempted unsuccessfully to seduce Blake, and then ordered the Executioner to dispose of Jane Foster, the mortal woman whom Thor then loved. Thor saved Foster and defeated both the Enchantress and Executioner.
Superpowers & Equipment
Powers:
The Enchantress possesses the conventional attributes of an Asgardian woman ("goddess"), as well as a mastery over certain sorcerous disciplines:
Superhuman Strength: Amora is superhumanly strong, possessing physical strength roughly average for an Asgardian woman. At her peak, she is able to lift about 25 tons.
Superhuman Speed: Amora can run and move at speeds that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.
Superhuman Stamina: Amora's Asgardian musculature is considerably more efficient than that of a human being. Her muscles produce considerably fewer fatigue toxins during physical activity than human muscles. At her peak, she can exert herself physically for about 24 hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in her blood begins to impair her.
Superhumanly Dense Tissue: Amora's bodily tissues, like those of all Asgardians, possesses roughly three times the density of human bodily tissues. This contributes somewhat to her superhuman strength, her durability, and her weight.
Superhuman Durability: Like all Asgardians, Amora's body is much more resistant to conventional physical injury than a human being. She can withstand great impacts, exposure to temperature extremes, and powerful energy blasts that would severely injure or kill a human being with no injury to herself.
Regenerative Healing Factor: It is possible for Amora to sustain an injury, despite her body's resistance. In such an event, Amora's superior metabolism enables her to heal injuries much faster and more extensively than a normal human would be capable of. However, she is unable to regenerate missing limbs or organs without the aid of powerful magical assistance.
Superhuman Longevity: Unlike some other god pantheons, such as the Olympians, the Asgardians do age, though it is at a pace vastly slower than a human. Although she is several millennia old in age, Amora has the appearance and vitality of an Asgardian woman in her prime. She is, however, immune to all known Earthly diseases and infections.
Superhuman Agility: Amora's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.
Superhuman Reflexes: Amora's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are superior to those of the finest human athlete.
Sorcery: The Enchantress' magical powers are among the most powerful of all Asgardians. The Enchantress's strength and proficiency with magic is second only to Karnilla,[42][43][44] with enough power even in the Earthly realm to cloud the sight of Agamotto through his Orb for hours from the view of Doctor Strange. The Enchantress' powers derive from two main sources: her innate capacity to manipulate ambient Asgardian magical energy (of power-objects and entities found therein or merely Asgard's natural magic) honed through practice, and her acquired knowledge of spells and enchantments of Asgardian origin.
Spell Casting: Amora is an exceptionally powerful sorceress capable of casting complex spells. She once cursed the entire earth, causing it to rain blood across the entire planet and animate every human corpse. Even Odin seemed incapable of reversing it (although he cared little for it). She has also shown capable of casting spell's that slow down an opponents reactions and also cast a spell that prevented a small army from fighting.
Energy Projection: Amora can use her sorcery to generate powerful blasts of concussive force, heat, or light.
Teleportation: Amora can teleport within a single dimension, or across the various dimensional places of the Nine Worlds of Asgard.
Levitation/Flight The Enchantress can levitate and fly.
Disguise/Illusions: Either through illusion or physical transformation, the Enchantress can also alter her appearance, taking the shape of other humanoid beings, or change the appearance of her clothing.
Transmutation: Amora can turn men into trees or statues with a kiss, or spell. This power is effective even from other dimensions.
Gold and Diamond Tears: Much like Freya who produced golden tears, the Enchantress' tear turned into gold and diamond.
Paralysis The Enchantress can paralyze multiple enemies with a spell
Energy Shields The Enchantress can summon incredibly powerful force fields. She has withstood blows from the likes of Thor and the Hulk, and even the force of a small nuclear bomb going off.
Life Force Absorption The Enchantress can absorb the life force of other beings to temporarily enhance her own powers. For conscious beings, she requires consent to perform the act, however to those of lesser intelligence she can do so at will. It is unknown as to whether there are set boundaries, as she required Volcana's permission, yet could affect the Lizard at will.
Time Disruption: The Enchantress can manipulate time with a subtle spell. She can reverse time, so as to prevent events from ever happening. She can protect others from the power of this spell at will.
Telepathy: The Enchantress can read minds and project her thoughts into the minds of others. She can also exchange her mind with another and perform mind control.
Mental Shields: Amora can shield her mind and the minds of others from telepathic intrusions and attacks. They are so powerful even Charles Xavier could not enter her mind.
Telepathic Senses: The Enchantress can sense when a telepath is trying to read her or her allies thoughts.
Astral Projection: Amora can project her astral form from her body. It is not affected by the laws of physics and can combat other astral beings. She can also simply project her voice.
Telekinesis: The Enchantress has telekinetic powers, the limits of which are unknown.
Mystical Senses: Amora can sense the presence of magical energy nearby. She can also sense impending danger and feelings of love in others.
Seduction: The main focus of the Enchantress' powers has been the enhancement of her natural beauty and allure so that men, mortal or otherwise, are overwhelmed with desire for her. Her powers are so great she could even affect beings as powerful as the Red Onslaught simply by speaking to him. She has enchanted her lips so that a single kiss is sufficient to make virtually any man a slave to her will, obedient to her every command, for about a week. Subsequent kisses enable her to enthrall someone's will indefinitely.
Skills
Skill Name:
Amora has amassed a great deal of mystical lore that rivals that of Loki and Karnilla, is an expert in the art of seduction, both natural and supernatural.
Allspeak: Thanks to the Allspeak Asgardians can communicate in all of the languages of the Nine Realms, Earth's dialects, and various alien languages.
Strength level:
Class 25, Amora can lift 25 tons
Weaknesses:
Amora's spells derive their potency from Asgardian sources (such as power objects or entities) and thus are most potent when used in the dimension of Asgard itself. A prolonged absence from Asgard tends to diminish her powers altogether, though they never fade completely. Although she has a superhuman physique, Amora has little to no experience in hand-to-hand combat, typically relying on minions to fight for her. The Enchantress cannot access her spells with her hands bound and her mouth gagged. Previously cast spells like her enhanced aura of seduction, however, can continue to function. She was once able to seduce a Frost Giant with her gaze alone while bound and gagged.
Weapons:
On occasions, the Enchantress employs various mystical artifacts, potions, and power objects at her disposal. She has, for instance, kept the soul of Brunnhilda the Valkyrie entrapped in a crystalline gem, using her own magic to assume the Valkyrie's form.

Early life:
Caitlin Snow was born on February 28, 1989 to her parents; scientists Thomas Snow and Carla Tannhauser. From a young age, she idolized her parents and was inspired to follow in their footsteps. As a child, Caitlin practiced the Hippocratic Oath and was apparently obsessed with it, growing to value life so much that she refused to let anyone even step on a bug if she could help it.
Caitlin was very close with her father; on Christmas, they would watch old holiday movies together as it snowed for hours without end outside. Thomas personally mentored Caitlin in multiple fields of science and the two partook in various educational activities together for their own entertainment. However, Thomas later fell ill, suffering from multiple sclerosis. During this period, Thomas realized that Caitlin had inherited his gene for ALS and used experimental cryogenic therapy to save her, just as he'd done for himself. While the experimental trials successfully cured Caitlin of the disease, they left her with a dormant cryokinetic-powered alternate personality, who would later be known as Killer Frost.
Young Caitlin Snow as Killer Frost:
One day, Caitlin was out riding her bicycle with her father when she fell off and got her leg stuck in the bike as a car sped towards her. Her injuries and fear caused Killer Frost to manifest for the first time, triggering Caitlin's transformation into her alter-ego. Despite her father's protests, Caitlin looked into her bicycle mirror and saw her transformation, causing her to scream in terror. Caitlin would repress this memory and Killer Frost for years.
At some point following this, Thomas apparently died from ALS when Caitlin was 10 years old, much to her and her mother's heartache. Following Thomas' death, Carla began focusing only on her work as a way to cope with the pain, and her subsequent neglect of Caitlin left them estranged for years.
In her childhood, Caitlin was bullied by Lexi LaRoche, who would put chewed bubble gum in her hair.
Caitlin was a bright pupil and studied at fine learning institutions through her own merit. As an adult, she became a trained scientist and neurosurgeon. Despite being estranged from her mother, Carla still offered Caitlin a position at Tannhauser Industries but Caitlin wanted to make a name for herself and declined. Sometime before 2011, Caitlin moved to Central City and was hired at S.T.A.R. Labs by Dr. "Harrison Wells",where she met Ronnie Raymond, a structural engineer. In contrast to Caitlin's guarded outlook, Ronnie was open and outgoing and would later describe them as being like "fire and ice". Despite their very different natures, Caitlin and Ronnie fell deeply in love and started dating. Though Caitlin enjoyed working at S.T.A.R. Labs, she, like most employees, was often irritated by Dr. Wells' protégé, Hartley Rathaway.
Around 2012, Caitlin went out of town with Ronnie for their one-year anniversary. Before leaving, she met newly-employed engineer, Cisco Ramon, after witnessing him debate engineering with Hartley. Cisco and Caitlin became close friends and he would consider her and Ronnie family, as he was estranged from his own and looked up to the couple. Eventually, Ronnie proposed to Caitlin and she accepted. However, Caitlin remained on bad terms with her mother. The two didn't visit each other or talk much, and Caitlin apparently never even told Carla about Ronnie.
Particle Accelerator explosion:
Caitlin was working on the night that the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator was to be switched on. She and her fiancé, Ronnie, were discussing their honeymoon when they were alerted of the impending switching on. After he switched it on, Dr. "Harrison Wells" went to make a toast, but it was made apparent that the particle accelerator was malfunctioning. Being the structural engineer, Ronnie had to go down with Cisco Ramon to try to, if not repair it, contain the blast. Despite her hesitation, he had to go. After he didn't come back in a while, Caitlin went down to talk to him. However, Ronnie had had Cisco put the accelerator into lock-down, locking him inside the core chamber. Caitlin and Ronnie talked, but before they could continue, Ronnie's connection was lost, apparently being killed inside the chamber, greatly upsetting Caitlin.
Following an accident involving lightning striking him, Barry Allen was put in a coma. After his situation got critical, he was moved to S.T.A.R. Labs, where he was stabilized and looked after by Caitlin and Cisco. Sometime following this, the two met Felicity Smoak during one of her visits to see the patient.
Time in Starling City:
A little while later, Caitlin and Cisco were asked to pack up an S.T.A.R. Labs warehouse in Starling City, following the massive explosion that occurred in Central City. The two were doing an inventory count, discussing the particle accelerator's explosion when they heard movement in the warehouse. They went to investigate, only to find a security guard standing there. Cisco assured him that they were almost done, though he just stared them down, creeping him out. Before the man could reply, he spat blood out and dropped to the ground, with Deathstroke ready behind him. The two made a run for it, managing to incapacitate Deathstroke momentarily with an old energy gun made by Arthur Light. They later reported the incident. Sometime after, they met Felicity Smoak and John Diggle at the hospital. Felicity asked about Barry's condition, and Caitlin told her how it was still the same. Cisco quickly blurted out that "Iris" had been visiting him a lot. When Felicity asked who Iris was, Cisco struggled to explain their relationship, causing Felicity to walk off, distressed that "Barry's in a coma, he's already moved on". A little while later, Felicity met Caiso and Caitlin again in a lab with a vial of Mirakuru, telling them that she needed their help and that it would be their little secret. Caitlin and Cisco successfully created a cure for the Mirakuru, which would be used by Team Arrow to defeat the Mirakuru-enhanced soldiers during Slade's siege of the city, as well as cure Roy Harper of his unstable condition.
Working with The Flash:
Nine months after he was struck by lightning, Barry awoke from his coma to Lady Gaga's "Poker Face", a song he allegedly liked. Cisco called "Dr. Wells" down to lab as quickly as possible, and explained to Barry what had happened, introducing he and Caitlin. The two took a break as Wells showed Barry around S.T.A.R. Labs, explaining in depth what had actually happened. Later, after discovering that he had the ability to run at super speed, the team of four headed down to an airfield. After Barry commented on her lack of smiling, she admitted that it felt like the best course of action considering what she'd been through. As Cisco monitored Barry's speed, Caitlin measured his energy output, amazed at how fast he could run, before colliding with some water barrels. They headed back to S.T.A.R. Labs where Wells and Barry discussed the potential for the existence of other people like him, specifically another who had super speed like Barry, though Harrison was certain that Barry was unique. Barry left to meet Iris. After an encounter with Clyde Mardon's weather manipulation, he returned to S.T.A.R. Labs where he was angry at Wells for lying to him in regards to meta-human abilities. Barry returned later, sorry, offering an apology in return for Cisco and Caitlin's help in catching rogue meta-humans. They agreed to help, and Cisco revealed a suit he'd designed for use by firefighters, which he believed would fit Barry's needs perfectly. Barry donned the suit and headed out to where they pinpointed Mardon to be. Cisco and Caitlin communicated with Barry, giving support. When Barry began to attempt to unravel it, Cisco stated his belief that Barry could withstand the pressure, though Caitlin didn't believe Barry himself would. However, after motivation from Dr. Wells, he eventually did.
After a run-in with a strongman at the Central City National Bank, Barry arrived back at S.T.A.R. Labs with a wrongly-healed ankle, after having previously broken it. They decided to re-break it, and Caitlin suggested to run extra tests to make sure that there was no further damage. Following that, Caitlin and Cisco tagged along with Barry to grab some DNA samples from the crime scene at which the strongman had been. While analyzing the sample, they helped Barry find a group of chimpanzees that had escaped from the Central City Zoo. As he locked them up, they revealed that the DNA sample was that of Joey Rose, a former strongman at the Central City Circus. They delved deeper into the closed circus, discovering that its owner had escaped from Belle Reve and killed several people. They notified Barry of this, while Dr. Wells also provided some details he knew on Mr. Bliss from having attended the circus previously, and Barry left to find the circus. Having been gone for a while, Cisco and Caitlin took a truck and crashed through the tent of the circus. Cisco grabbed Barry and Caitlin attempted to drive away, however, their truck was lifted up by Joey Rose, who threw it some distance from the circus tent. As they crawled from the wreckage, they encountered the snake lady. The lady promised to let them pass, but Caitlin believed it to be a trap. The lady assured her that she was genuine, as they were only compliant with Mr. Bliss otherwise torture would be inflicted on them. Before leaving, Caitlin asked what all of it was about, but the woman was only aware that something big was happening. They headed back to S.T.A.R. Labs, where Caitlin explained what had happened to Barry and Cisco further explained what the snake lady had told them.[20] Caitlin suggested that she could experiment with psychotropic drugs on Barry, though she was unsure how he would react. Noticing that Mr. Bliss had arrived at a Central City Cougars match, Dr. Wells urged that they go down to warn everyone. Having destroyed the work van, they took Cisco's car, which Caitlin found unhygienic and tiny. As they arrived, they noticed that The Flash had already evacuated everyone. Iris greeted them and they claimed to be there for the circus.
Caitlin walked in on Cisco as he guided Barry towards a burning building to save people inside. Once he had saved everyone, she ordered him back to S.T.A.R. Labs. Though he tried to justify what he was doing, using his abilities for good, she mentioned that they had actually agreed to locate and contain meta-humans together. Not being able to get her message across, she had Dr. Wells try to help communicate it. She angrily told Barry that she couldn't fix him every time something broke before walking off. After later fainting, Barry headed to S.T.A.R. Labs, where Caitlin yelled at Barry for keeping it to himself, as he could have suffered from a mini-stroke. They decided to test his vitals while he ran on a modified treadmill. They noted his low glucose levels, but not before he fell off and hit the padding. They hooked him up to 40 IV bags in order to bring him back to normal. When he awoke they explained what they determined to be the problem: he hadn't been eating enough for his massive metabolism. Shortly following, Joe appeared through the doors. He began to get angry at Barry for acting as a hero, and Caitlin agreed with his reasoning before Joe left upset. Yet again Barry later returned to S.T.A.R. Labs, having had a run in with a meta-human who could duplicate himself, who they found to be Danton Black. From some of the perp's blood on Barry's suit, Caitlin was able to speed up the replicating process, making a clone from cells. The clone came to life, freaking Caitlin out, though Joe had returned, shooting the clone. They figured that Danton Black had activated some clones, thus the clone's movement and Barry suited up to head to Stagg Industries. The team provided support to Barry as per usual, Caitlin suggesting to locate the prime in order to take them all out. Barry ultimately beat Danton, who fell to his death. They soon watched a report about it on the news. Barry assured that the three of them were always with him, and that really all of them had been struck by lightning, not just Barry, at least in the metaphorical sense.
A while later, Cisco and Caitlin alerted Barry to a man with a gun in a getaway car being chased by cops, who Barry sped to and placed in the cop car within a matter of seconds. The following day, after the Darbinyan crime family were gassed to death by a presumed meta-human, the S.T.A.R. Labs team began researching what they could, all of them excited by the potential prospects. Joe noted that they would have to find somewhere to hold them, as Iron Heights was less than ideal, and Cisco suggested the particle accelerator. Not wishing to go down, Barry suggested she tag along with him to identify the poison gas. At the CCPD, they headed upstairs. On the way, they were joined by Barry's boss, Captain Singh. Caitlin claimed to be Barry's personal physician. Once they were in the lab waiting for the gas' test results, they discussed Caitlin's late fiancé Ronnie. Once they got the test results, they were intrigued to find two separate tissue samples in it, rather than just one, coming to the conclusion that the meta-human could, in fact, turn into gas himself, hence why his genetic residue was left behind. Barry left to find the meta-human after hearing news on a police radio, leaving Caitlin at the lab. He eventually found the man but inhaled some of the gas. He returned to S.T.A.R. Labs where Caitlin used a needle to painfully extract the gas before it killed him. Once he woke up, Barry apologized for leaving so suddenly, but Caitlin reassured him that it was fine and he had just reminded her of Ronnie. Barry related the story of his mother's death and offered to go into the core chamber with Caitlin to conquer her fears. While they were there, he promised her that Ronnie was a true hero. They were called back up where they were shown the molecular makeup of the poison gas, hydrogen cyanide mixed with a sedative. Barry recalled that executions used those particular chemicals and Caitlin uncovered Kyle Nimbus, who would have been executed at the time of the particle accelerator explosion. She further went on to look up who caught him, Detective West, figuring that he was his final target. Caitlin gave him an antidote to the toxin, and Barry sped to Iron Heights Prison to protect Joe. The team supported Barry, and once he had lured Nimbus out into the open, Caitlin reminded him not to breathe any gas in (as he'd used the antidote on Joe). Finding it too difficult to outrun him, Caitlin suggested to simply have him continue running at Barry to sap his strength, forcing him to revert to human form. Finally capturing The Mist, as Cisco proudly nicknamed him, they put him in the makeshift particle accelerator prison they'd engineered. Cisco attempted to apologize for the night of Ronnie's death, however, Caitlin admitted that she was okay, as she was even more proud of Ronnie. The two headed out to the cinemas, followed by ice cream.
Caitlin played Barry in a game of Operation while Barry was also played a game of Chess with Harrison Wells, and a game of Ping pong with Cisco while Barry was testing his ability to multitask. When Felicity arrived at S.T.A.R. Labs, Caitlin was pleased to see her again though she was worried that she would know too much of their operation. Caitlin was told that she wouldn't need to worry after being told Felicity works with The Arrow. After the cold gun was stolen, Caitlin along with Harrison learned that Cisco built a weapon that was powerful enough to stop Barry, despite his speed. After Barry was struck by the cold gun, Caitlin noted that Barry's nerve cells would've been damaged permanently had they not regenerated at the speed they did. When Cisco told Barry he built the cold gun to stop him, Caitlin defended Cisco that he was only taking precautions and that it was when Barry was still in a coma. Caitlin was later shocked when Felicity managed to track down Leonard Snart/Captain Cold in a matter of seconds. When Caitlin and Cisco were advised by Felicity to follow Barry and help him, Caitlin reminded Felicity that Barry wanted to be alone. Caitlin was told by Felicity that when someone asks to be alone, that is the best time to help them. Caitlin, along with Cisco and Felicity brought the S.T.A.R. Labs vacuum cleaner, claiming it was the prototype cold gun four times more powerful than the one Leonard had to threaten Snart into backing down.
Barry took Caitlin and Cisco to a social gathering with Iris and Eddie Thawne, who she expressed an attraction, but Barry told her he couldn't get drunk so she took a sample of his blood in a syringe, which she kept in her bag, but Barry was soon called to a bombing in a building where a man was hanging for his life. Later Barry went to find the bomber Sgt. Bette Sans Souci but returned moments later without his suit, after Caitlin desperately tried to get back in contact with him over communications, stating that Bette destroyed it causing it to explode with a single touch. Flash managed to bring Bette back to the lab where Caitlin was able to figure out that the dark matter of the particle accelerator merged with a piece of shrapnel where she got her powers, and later observed as Bette tested her powers. Bette told everyone that she was being targeted by her commanding officer Gen. Wade Eiling and Caitlin tried to find a way to remove her powers but discovered that there was no means of reversing it and though Barry wanted her to stay, become a member of the team, everyone including Caitlin feared she would eventually unintentionally destroy the lab and they needed to avoid being Eiling's enemy. After Bette was killed by Eiling, Barry became slightly depressed and Caitlin tried to cheer him up by making note of his power to walk on water and later made a whiskey shot strong enough for Barry to feel.
As Caitlin and Cisco debated how many insects Barry swallows while running, Barry came to S.T.A.R Labs with a broken hand caused by meta-human Tony Woodward, Barry's childhood bully, which Caitlin tended to but noted that 13 bones were broken in his hand alone, in addition to multiple injuries in the rest of his body. She later watched as Barry practiced fighting on a robotic dummy and dislocated his shoulder and Caitlin tried to fix it but when she asked if Barry was visiting Iris as the Flash again, he lied promoting Caitlin to fix his shoulder by brutally snapping it back in place with her hands. Caitlin and Cisco later deduced where Tony was hiding out, but when Barry was seriously wounded Caitlin and Cisco had to go find him themselves and bring him back to the lab. Cisco and Dr. Wells both agreed that Barry could defeat Tony if he hit Woodward at just the right angle at a speed just over Mach 1, which would require a clear shot 5.3 miles away from his target. Caitlin, on the other hand, begged him not to as it would shatter every bone in his body if done wrong. Later Barry engaged Tony again after the latter had kidnapped Iris, and after getting hurt he ran out, only to stop 5.3 miles away from Woodward, turn around and run at a minimum speed of 837 miles per hour, which Caitlin begged him not to do but nerveless he succeeded. Caitlin watched as Barry confronted Tony, face to face, and was amused by Cisco's desire to stop his own childhood nemesis next.
When Caitlin was walking in the parking lot after she met up with Jason Rusch to learn more about F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M., she was kidnapped, due to her association with The Flash, by Leonard Snart and Mick Rory before she could get into her car. She was later rescued by Cisco and Joe West.
The team learned of Eobard's plan, to have Barry run fast enough to create a wormhole in which Eobard could return home while Barry could save his mother from Eobard in the first place thus restoring the timeline to order. Caitlin thought the concept was an easy choice until Professor Stein elaborated that Nora's murder had subsequently altered the timeline and changed history, so, therefore, nothing would ever be the same and no one would know because they'd never remember it, meaning Barry may never meet any of them. After tending to Ronnie's wounds from his battle with Reverse-Flash he told her that he and Stein are there to stay for good, and asks if she would like to finally marry him and she said yes. Later the two decided to marry before Barry time-travels in case everything does change and they, with Professor Stein as their rabbi, said their vows and married. When Eobard was to travel back to the future Barry surprisingly returned and sabotaged his time sphere, forcing Caitlin and Ronnie to manually turn off the generators to close the wormhole before it could grow into a singularity. They succeeded, but, as a result of a paradox from Eddie killing himself to erase Eobard from existence, the wormhole reopened, and the team was helpless to watch it grow and begin consuming everything in Central City before it would eventually consume the world. Flash sped off into the portal to close it and managed to stabilize its range but wasn't able to close it. Professor Stein informed Ronnie the only way to destroy it would be for them, as Firestorm to separate inside it. Caitlin immediately protested but Ronnie professed that they have to try and kissed her farewell, before becoming Firestorm and flying into the singularity as Caitlin watched in tears. Though Firestorm succeeds in destroying the portal Ronnie doesn't survive and is presumed killed inside the singularity, much to Caitlin's devastation.
Working at Mercury Labs:
After Ronnie's death, Caitlin held herself responsible remembering Ronnie's offer to leave Central City months earlier and kept thinking what might have happened if she'd said yes but she did not blame Barry despite his assumptions.
Soon after she was employed by Dr. McGee at Mercury Labs as being at S.T.A.R. Labs reminded her too much of Ronnie, and subsequently had little to no contact with the rest of her friends. 6 months later she did however briefly attend the "Flash Day" festival. Cisco later visited her and asked her to run a DNA sample off their meta-human suspect, dubbed "Atom-Smasher" by Stein, and she reluctantly agreed. Later Barry visited her and revealed that Eobard had made a video message in the event of his death but was too afraid to watch it, so Caitlin offered to watch it with him. In the message, Eobard confesses to Nora's murder much to their shock and delight, and Caitlin decides to rejoin the team and help them defeat Atom-Smasher.
Enter Zoom:
After defeating him, Caitlin and Cisco see to it that S.T.A.R. Labs security is increased but as they are informing Barry of this, a stranger walks right in and introduces himself as Jay Garrick and tells them that their world is in danger. Jay reveals he knows the names of everyone present, Caitlin included, and explains that he is from another earth, Earth-Two, and more shockingly reveals he is a speedster himself named "The Flash" and was unwillingly pulled brought there as a result of the singularity as he battled another speedster named "Zoom", the same man who sent Atom-Smasher to kill Barry. Jay, however, lost his powers when he arrived and spent the last 6 months gathering information on Team Flash but a skeptical Barry asked if he'd run tests to confirm he is a speedster, which he accepted. Caitlin ran these tests and learned that Jay acquired his powers through similar circumstances to Barry, but Caitlin was quite taken to learn he was also a scientist. Caitlin learned that he did have regenerative capabilities but no evidence he has connections to the Speed Force but also ran a polygraph on him without his knowledge which came back positive. Caitlin ran further tests on him on the treadmill where she seemed to have developed an attraction to Jay, though she quickly denied it when Iris implied that Caitlin had feelings for Jay. This is further implied when Jay reveals moments later that Caitlin ran a full body scan on him at her request, and she claims she was "being thorough". Caitlin and Cisco later watched Oliver's broadcast on Star City news where he re-declared himself as the "Green Arrow", and Caitlin approved of Oliver's new name but Cisco didn't. After defeating Sand-Demon Caitlin tended to Jay's wounds and he complimented her skills and as he reflected on the loss of his powers, she also told him she'd lost something precious to her too (Ronnie) but eventually learned to live with it and they exchanged smiles. After Professor Stein confirmed the presence of multiple ruptures in the city, 52 exactly, he collapsed and Caitlin tended to him.
Seeking to use Turtle's powers to stop Zoom, Caitlin and Jay went to check on him but discovered him dead in his cell. Jay was quick to blame Harry but he denied it though Caitlin, like Jay, was unconvinced. After discovering Jay's declining health Caitlin theorizes that a fresh infusion of healthy cells could fix Jay's blood, by finding his Earth-1 doppelgänger. Caitlin asked for Barry's help but he was unable to find any Jay Garrick on Earth-1. Caitlin decided to ask Jay himself but after telling him he didn't have an Earth-1 double Jay claimed there was a good reason and asked her to meet him at Hofherr Park, where she'll see for herself. Later when Caitlin and Jay sat down at the park Jay revealed he too tried to find his Earth-1 double but with no success, at least at first. After some time, however, he eventually did find his doppelgänger and pointed him out on a bench across the park, Hunter Zolomon. Caitlin questioned why Hunter had a different name to Jay and he told her his mother died in childbirth, and after bouncing around different families was adopted by the Zolomons. However, Jay told Caitlin that his cells were mutated when he became a speedster, and that Hunter's cells were no longer compatible with his as a result.
While Cisco was using his powers trying to locate Zoom he discovered that Reverse-Flash was still alive and invading Mercury Labs. However, when Barry returned from his encounter with the speedster he stated Eobard didn't know his name or that they've fought before. Harry theorized correctly that this version of Eobard is a younger version of the man they knew, one who has not yet traveled back to kill Nora and is meeting Barry for the first time. When Barry captured Eobard but wasn't allowed to talk to him because he would alter the timeline, Caitlin tried to reassure him to take comfort in the fact that he caught him. Barry, however, wasn't satisfied. When Cisco started seizing Caitlin stabilized him but he started fading out of existence to which Harry surmised was a result of Eobard's capture, rupturing the timeline and Barry was forced to send him back.
When Barry, Cisco, and Harry went to Earth-2 to rescue Jesse, the Speed Cannon malfunctioned and Jay timely saved her from being crushed under one of its rings when it fell apart. As Caitlin and Jay tried to repair it Joe told them of a meta-human Adam Fells/Geomancer, attacking the city looking to challenge Barry.[30] Though they didn't have Barry Joe pointed out that Jay got his speed back with Velocity-6 long enough to save Harry, but Jay refused to take it. Caitlin confronted Jay on his hesitance and he admitted that he had taken the Velocity serum prior to Caitlin perfecting it, out of selfishness for wanting to increase his speed. Caitlin then quickly realized that taking the Velocity serum was the true cause of Jay losing his speed, not Zoom, and Jay admitted he'd made so many mistakes and wasn't worthy of Caitlin's love. However, Caitlin reassured Jay she'd figure out a way to restore his speed and save him and worked on perfecting the formula, and created Velocity-7. After doing so Flash went out to stop Geomancer but during their fight, the Velocity-7 wore off, and Flash was almost killed by Geomancer but Joe was able to save him. As Caitlin tended to Jay's wounds she promised that Velocity-8 would be better, but expressed worry that Barry, Cisco, and Harry wouldn't make it back in time.
While working on Velocity-9, Caitlin discovered a flaw in its cellular matrix and visited a friend at Mercury Labs, Eliza Harmon, who helped her finish the formula, though Caitlin was careful and only gave her specific aspects so the formula couldn't be replicated in case Eliza's research was compromised. After this Caitlin was finally able to perfect the formula to Velocity-9 just in time for Geomancer to cause an earthquake that, destroyed a hospital. Before it collapsed Caitlin was forced to give Jay toe formula before testing it and Flash was able to save the people inside before it collapsed. After returning Caitlin and Iris stood in awe of Jay's achievement and Caitlin was happy to see she succeeded, and also discovered that Velocity-9's effects had begun to fix Jay's cells. As Caitlin called Jay to inform him of this however she and Iris were confronted by Geomancer in S.T.A.R. Labs and attacked them. However Caitlin was able to save Iris by using the B.O.O.T. on Geomancer, and Joe ensured Fells was arrested. When Jay did return she informed him of the Velocity-9's effects on his cells and Jay was speechless, unable to express gratitude in words so Caitlin kissed him instead. Almost immediately, however, they discovered the Speed Cannon was damaged in Geomancer's attack, but Flash and Joe were able to stabilize it. After Barry, Cisco, Harry, and Jesse returned Jay closed the last breach but before it closed for good, Zoom appeared and stabbed his arm though Jay's chest killing him and pulled him back through the portal, right in front of Caitlin. Moments after Caitlin was shell-shocked and started repeatedly saying "he's not dead" much to everyone's concern until Cisco helped her and she tried to sleep it off.
Following Jay's death, Caitlin went into depression and tried to hide her feelings but became quite snipping and blunt, much to Cisco's concern. While the team was helping John Diggle and Lyla Michaels capture King Shark, Cisco confronted her about her cutting off her emotions, but accidentally revealed he met Caitlin's Earth-2 doppelgänger. After Caitlin confronted Cisco on the subject he confirmed he had met Earth-2 Caitlin, who was a meta-human named "Killer Frost" and a murderous criminal, and Cisco expressed worry because Caitlin was starting to act just like Killer Frost with her demeanor. However, Caitlin stated that if she let herself feel the grief of losing Jay she'll never recover and she can't and insisted they get back to finding King Shark. After King Shark was captured Caitlin pranked Cisco by pretending to be Killer Frost which terrified Cisco, until Caitlin started laughing. Caitlin then reassured Cisco that she may be depressed but she'll never be like Killer Frost, and watched as Barry revealed the display for Jay's helmet and vowed to find a way back to Earth-Two to beat Zoom.
While enjoying a night out at a club, Caitlin and Cisco danced while Barry, Iris, Wally, and Jesse had some drinks. Suddenly, club was attacked by another speedster, Trajectory, who committed a robbery spree. Caitlin suspected the speedster was using Velocity-9 and told Barry about it. However, Barry was furious to learn Caitlin had the means to increasing his speed the whole time, but Harry defended her as Jay had previously stated how dangerous the drug was. After Barry fought Trajectory, Caitlin suspected she may be Eliza. When she and Joe questioned her about the serum Caitlin gave her, Eliza claimed to have destroyed it after helping her, which seemingly checked out. Later at S.T.A.R. Labs, the team was attacked by Trajectory, who locked Flash in the pipeline and knocked out Joe. Trajectory revealed she was indeed Eliza, demanding more Velocity-9, ignoring Caitlin's warnings that the drug would kill her and threatening to harm Jesse. After getting more Velocity-9 Trajectory injected Jesse with a dose and escaped. Caitlin saved Jesse by giving her a transfusion of Harry's blood. After Trajectory killed herself by accidentally overdosing on Velocity-9, Barry revealed that before she evaporated her lightning turned blue, just like Zoom's. With this knowledge, Harry deduced that Zoom is dying and needs a cure which is why he wants Barry's speed, and Barry pointed out that Jay too was dying. Caitlin immediately denied the possibility that Jay was Zoom but Barry had Cisco vibe Jay's helmet, and he confirmed the revelation, much to Caitlin's shock.
After Barry and Harry created the tachyon enhancer based on Eobard's information, Barry was able to run four times faster, faster than Zoom, and realized he could take him down now. After Cisco figured out how to open breaches Barry prepared to fight him, telling Caitlin she doesn't need to partake if she doesn't want to. Caitlin however stood firm that she needed to help them stop Jay, whatever his real name is. When Barry questioned what she meant she revealed that Jay's doppelgänger's name was Hunter Zolomon but Harry was astounded, as Hunter Zolomon on Earth-2 is a serial killer, convicted on 23 counts of murder. After showing a newspaper of him the team realized that Jay was actually Hunter but Barry used this information to their advantage to set a trap for him. Barry successfully lured Zoom into their trap, using cutouts of the Earth-1 versions of his parents to catch him off guard, but he still escaped and abducted Wally. After agreeing to Zoom's deal to release Wally in exchange for his speed Zoom brought Wally back and unmasked in front of them, revealing his true self for the first time. While Harry prepared the device to drain Barry's speed the team questioned how Hunter was still alive, as he'd died and he revealed he'd brought a younger version of himself to the present to act as his decoy, ultimately to sacrifice him to motivate Barry into becoming faster. He also admitted he'd posed as The Flash to give people hope only to take it away from them, and Caitlin openly called him a monster. After Hunter successfully drained Barry of his speed he tried to kill him but Caitlin begged him, asking if he ever truly did care for her, if he has any humanity left to let Barry goes. Reluctantly, Hunter did so, but seeing Caitlin as a weakness he couldn't let go, Hunter abducted Caitlin and took her back to his lair to Earth-Two.
While imprisoned in his lair Hunter acknowledged that Caitlin was mad at him for lying to her but told her that he loved her, much to her terror and allowed her to roam free knowing she couldn't escape and tended to other business. While venturing she discover a man in an iron mask using tap code against his cell, but Caitlin couldn't understand. Caitlin was then distracted by her doppelganger Killer Frost who was imprisoned in the opposite cell. Frost immediately mocked Caitlin's choice of clothing and didn't know who the iron mask was either, nor did she know why Zoom had imprisoned her. However Frost made a deal with Caitlin that if she got her out of her cell she'd get her back to Earth-1. While working on a means to break the carbine in the cell the Caitlins talked about their very different upbringings but found common ground in their shared dislike for their mothers. However Caitlin Two revealed her mother was a frigid narcissist because her brother Charlie died, though Caitlin One never had a brother nor did she know why her mother was cold. After freeing Frost she immediately betrayed her and tried to kill her revealing the only reason she's still alive, is because she looks just like her, the woman Zoom loves and therefore wouldn't need her anymore. However before Frost could kill her Zoom returned and phased through Caitlin, literally, to grab the icicle Frost made and stabbed her with it, horrifying Caitlin and leaving Frost to bleed out. Hunter then threatened to kill his masked prisoner if she tried to escape again. Later Caitlin tearfully pleaded with Hunter to let her go and Hunter agreed, as he sought to conquer Earth-1. Zoom then took him with her back to Earth-1.
Returning to Earth-1, Caitlin became a witness to Zoom's ruthless conquest of Central City Police Department. As he killed policemen and "failed" minions without mercy, Caitlin pleaded Hunter to stop this madness. Annoyed at her demeanor, Zoom encouraged to embrace darkness instead, and threatened to kill her friends next if she didn't stop meddling in his business. Eventually, Hunter presented Caitlin with a choice: stay with him, and become the queen of his meta-human empire, or leave, and share the same fate as the rest of Team Flash. As Zoom left Caitlin to address the meta-humans under his command, she escaped back to S.T.A.R. Labs Seeing her lover's merciless side took a toll on Caitlin's mental health, as she started hallucinating, seeing an apparition of Zoom appear behind her friends in S.T.A.R. Labs. Refusing to meet Hunter in person, Caitlin nevertheless agreed to act as bait for him via hologram, telling that she accepted her inner darkness, just like he wanted her to. Hunter rejected her "reconciliation", and tried to swipe at her legs, only to discover that Caitlin was but a holographic projection. He was then overtaken by Team Flash, but not before taking Joe West with him to Earth-2. After Zoom's race against Barry and his imprisonment in the Speed Force by Time Wraiths. As Barry explained how he used a time remnant to beat Zoom they awaited for Cisco and Harry to free the man in the iron mask from his predicament. Much to their shock however the man was the real Jay Garrick who was also Henry's Earth-3 counterpart. After Jay reclaimed his suit he further decided to take Hunter's helmet as a means to inspire hope whereas the helmet was meant as a symbol of false hope. Caitlin complimented Jay that it suited him. After Harry, Jesse and Jay returned to Earth-2 Caitlin attended a celebration of victory over Zoom, when Barry made a choice to alter his parents' fate, creating a "mirage" timeline known as Flashpoint.
Return of Killer Frost:
Due to repressed memories of Zoom and possibly Flashpoint being erased, Caitlin awakened her cryokinesis meta-human powers akin to those of her Earth-Two counterpart. She kept this a secret from the rest of the team, using them to help Barry escape Mirror Master's mirror trap. However, she later noticed while taking a shower that some of her hair turned pale blonde; she promptly cut off the altered hair to hide her powers. Desperate to understand what was happening to her, Caitlin visited her mother but was quickly annoyed when she asked if Caitlin had received her birthday card which she confirmed, in April, presumably a significant amount of time before or after it. Caitlin inquired how to get an appointment with her for a friend, not ready to reveal her secret, but as Carla coldly walked her through the procedures Caitlin angrily froze her desk and revealed she was the patient. Carla subsequently canceled all her appointments for the day and readied various tests for Caitlin. While preparing she met Carla's assistant Nigel. Caitlin was brought down to the facility's testing lab for molecular motion where she revealed a shaft made of solid tungsten, heated to over 2000 degrees centigrade. Carla asked Caitlin to freeze it in order to determine how to reverse what's happening to her. To her horror, she froze it solidly within seconds. After Caitlin revealed the origin of her powers, she and Carla fought over Caitlin working at S.T.A.R. Labs rather than Tannhauser Industries, which Caitlin reminded her was because she desired to make a name for herself. Before they could argue further Nigel came back with the results and revealed that Caitlin had not just frozen the tungsten but had absorbed all the energy it was emitting. However, Caitlin was frustrated when she heard them talking about how her power could benefit their pursuits rather than offer sympathies. When Carla began taking blood samples Caitlin, finally having had enough, confronted her over the seemingly lack of care for her well-being and how she hasn't expressed any concern over her well being since her father died. Carla defended that she tried to save him and reminded Caitlin that she ran away but Caitlin told Carla that she had to because she wouldn't even so much as look at her. Carla accepted Caitlin's anguish and admitted that she got consumed in her work out of grief but scolded Caitlin, believing she didn't know what that kind of loss feels like. Outraged, Caitlin told Carla about Ronnie, who Carla didn't even seem to be aware of.
Killer Frost worried:
Having had enough, Caitlin decided to leave but Nigel trapped her in the facility wanting to exploit her powers for himself. As he grabbed her Caitlin's inner Killer Frost persona was released in a fit of pure rage and she grabbed Nigel and froze his arm solid. Carla came in to confront her, and Killer Frost ordered her mother to move, but Carla offered her apologizes, acknowledging that she wasn't much of a mother, but was steadfast that she didn't raise a killer, managing to talk her out of killing Nigel as mother and daughter hugged. Caitlin returned to help Team Flash stop the supposed monster roaming the city, only for it to be a hologram. Caitlin later told Cisco about visiting her mother and he commended her for trying to make amends with her family. Later Carla contacted Caitlin via webcam and told her that her results proved unfruitful; that Caitlin's biology was rapidly changing and the more she used her powers the less control she'd have. After hearing this, Killer Frost's anger emerged again, as Caitlin has accidentally frozen her computer, horrified to see that she was losing control over her emotions along with her growing meta-human powers. Worried of her powers, Caitlin stole power dampeners from S.T.A.R. Labs, something that Cisco thought to blame on H.R. Wells. She was seen wearing the dampeners during an attack of the meta-human Shade. After Cisco accidentally vibed Caitlin in the guise of Killer Frost, he forced her to reveal the truth about her powers to the team.
In her first attack as Killer Frost, Caitlin still retained most of her natural looks, not fully transformed yet.
Caitlin said she wouldn't save Barry from Savitar, for fear of using her powers and unleashing her Killer Frost side, and only went after Iris begged her. And after using her powers to save Barry from Savitar; unfortunately, she ended up dominated by her worry and anger, turning into Killer Frost. She went after Dr. Alchemy in an attempt to rid herself of her powers. She tricked Joe into believing that Wally has emerged from his cocoon, trying to divert Joe from the interrogation of one of the acolytes of Alchemy. She tortured the acolyte, but before she could extract any useful information, Caitlin was forced to flee by approaching CCPD officers, leaving the acolyte frozen. Still obsessed with finding Alchemy, Killer Frost kidnapped Julian Albert, forcing him to create a search algorithm to find Savitar's acolytes. Julian succeeded in locating a member of Alchemy's cult, but also alerted the police to Killer Frost's location, as she tried to kill him. However, The Flash arrived and attempted to talk Caitlin down, even knocking out Albert to permit them to speak freely. Unfortunately, Caitlin was unable to control her powers; too far gone and panicked, she stabbed him in the leg and went after one of the acolytes, Craig. Upon arriving, she threatened the man's family, forcing him to comply. He informed Killer Frost that he didn't know where Alchemy was, or who he was, but only that Alchemy was merely another acolyte of Savitar who had shown them the future where, among other things, Caitlin had become Killer Frost. However, before she could press for more info on how to take away her powers, Vibe arrived and, like Barry, attempted to talk her down, but Killer Frost attacked Cisco. Barry then arrived on the scene and knocked Killer Frost to the ground. Unwilling to surrender, Killer Frost gave Barry a kiss, using her powers to freeze him solid. Luckily, Cisco was fast enough to smite her with a Vibe burst, knocking Killer Frost unconscious. Upon waking up in the Pipeline, Killer Frost attempted to convince Team Flash she was back to normal, to no avail. She then made an offer of leaving them alone, if they release her and allow her to go on her way. But Barry refused to abandon her, angering Frost. She yelled at him, blaming Barry rightly for everything bad that happened to the team after Flashpoint. Barry returned, asking for Caitlin's help with a freed Wally West, who couldn't maintain control over his powers. Killer Frost taunted Barry, who released her on one condition: if she wanted to leave, she had to kill him. Killer Frost threatened to do so, producing an icicle, but was unable to kill her friend. Crying, Caitlin finally snapped out of her anger and she hugged him, horrified at her actions. Barry comforted her and she went back with him, assisting the team in returning Wally to normal (albeit now with Super-Speed). Barry later had to make a tough choice, after Julian Albert gave him two alternatives: quit his job at Central City Police Department as a CSI agent, or he would talk to the detective outside the room. Barry decided to make a big sacrifice and quit his job to save Caitlin from a life in prison.
Fighting off an alien invasion:
During a joint mission with the Legends to stop the Dominators' invasion, Caitlin mostly partnered up with Professor Martin Stein, who encouraged her to learn how to control her powers, instead of denying them, just like he did as Firestorm. On her end, Caitlin helped Professor Stein to accept his daughter, Lily Stein, who was born as a result of an accidental temporal aberration.
Defeating Alchemy:
After the Flash has defeated Alchemy and took the Philosopher's Stone to S.T.A.R. Labs safe in its compartment box, Savitar tried to manipulate Cisco Ramon into taking the stone for himself and releasing him, appearing to Cisco in the guise of his late brother, Dante Ramon. Despite being threatened by Cisco not to approach him, Caitlin managed to talk him down and persuade to hide the Brahmastra, stopping Savitar again. Later on, Caitlin was present when Team Flash communicated with Savitar, possessing the body of Julian Albert. She was worried as he claimed a prophecy for Team Flash, saying that one of them would fall, the other betray them, and the other would suffer a fate worse than death. After this ordeal, Caitlin encouraged Julian to come to celebrate Christmas together with Team Flash at West house, later on congratulating the CSI specialist when he came to the party after all. Showing Cisco that she took Martin Stein's advice to heart and started to practice control over her powers, Caitlin removed her power dampener and produced an icy mist with her hand, turning a raincloud above West house into a cloud of white snow.
Attack on S.T.A.R Labs:
A mysterious future villain of the Flash named Abra Kadabra appeared, stealing from several tech companies in an attempt to bu
ild a timeship to return to the 64th century. Abra Kadabra soon found himself chased after by the Flash and Gypsy, escaping, but not before telling Flash that he knew Savitar's name.
Sometime later, he teleported into S.T.A.R Labs and ambushed Caitlin, Julian, and Joe West, but was soon apprehended by the Flash and locked up in the Pipeline, taunting the team about his knowledge of Savitar. There, he told Joe that if he let him escape from Gypsy, he promised to reveal Savitar's name so the team could save Iris. Joe agreed and set him free, but Kadabra betrayed him, claiming that the terms of the agreement had changed. He then went to collect a mysterious future power source from the Time Vault and set off an explosive as the trio attempted to chase after him upon his escape. The resulting explosion impaled Caitlin's side with shrapnel. Team Flash took her to the med bay and helped her onto the bed. Caitlin showed signs of physical pain, as she was breathing heavily and moaning. Cisco tried to stop the bleeding with a T-shirt while the team decided how they were going to help her. Julian X-rayed her and found she had bits of metal wedged inside her that needed to come out. Caitlin refused to go to the hospital as they will find out about her Killer Frost identity. Iris told the team that Caitlin couldn't operate on herself but Caitlin said she could if she had a mirror, she could talk someone through the surgery. Soon after Caitlin talked Julian though her own surgery. Iris helped stop the bleeding as Julian operated. As Julian came to the last piece of metal he found that it was stuck, as he tried to get it out, Caitlin's heart rate began to increase dangerously, causing Cisco to worry. Julian told her it was going to hurt as he pulled the metal out, Caitlin screamed in severe pain before becoming light headed and telling Julian to stitch her up as she was going to pass out. Not too long after she woke up in the med bay bed with Julien holding her hand. Julian told her how brave he thought she was before getting up to kiss her, but pausing out of fear of hurting her. Later that day, Cisco was alone with Caitlin. She seemed to be recovering well, but as they were talking, Caitlin stopped mid-sentence and passed out. She started seizing. Cisco panicked and called for help. Julian came running in with H.R. and they tried to hold her down, but she suddenly stopped. Cisco put his hand above Caitlin's mouth and found that she wasn't breathing. Julian began giving her compressions and told Cisco to get the oxygen mask and place it over her mouth. They then tried electric shock, but everything was unsuccessful. Julian tried more compressions while Cisco continued giving her oxygen but Caitlin wasn't responding and they couldn't resuscitate her. Cisco started crying, realizing his best friend had died. Julian, distraught, ripped off Caitlin's necklace, hoping her meta-human powers could regenerate her. About 30 seconds later, she began breathing again. Caitlin's wound also healed instantly, but she emanated a cloud of mist, sending the team and herself flying. Once the cloud cleared, Caitlin had transformed into Killer Frost and attacked the team before escaping.
Alliance with Savitar:
Caitlin wandered around in the snow, only to encounter Savitar. She asked if Savitar wanted to cure her, to bring Caitlin Snow back, but the armored villain wanted just the opposite. Caitlin then asked Savitar why should she trust him. To prove that he can be trusted, Savitar removed his armor and revealed himself as a future version of Barry. Seeing who it was, Caitlin agreed to do anything he wants.
She was sent by Savitar to the Central City University in order to kill future physicist Tracy Brand, however her attempt on the scientist's life was thwarted by the intervention of Barry and Cisco. She returned to Savitar to tell him of her failure. Savitar questioned Frost's loyalty by pondering the idea that there may be more Caitlin Snow still within her than she led him to believe, especially due to the fact that despite taking up the name Killer Frost she had not yet actually killed anyone. He then told her to once again try to kill Tracy with the promise that if she succeeded they could both be gods.
A few hours later she kidnapped Cecille at the West house and told Joe that the only way to spare Cecille's life would be to trade her for Tracy. At the site of the trade off, she battled both Barry and Cisco before being overcome by Cisco's powers and knocked unconscious. Cisco then acquired a blood sample from her that Julian hoped could be key, due to Caitlin undergoing a full mutation into Killer Frost, to reversing the process and cure their friend. Before the team could return to Star Labs, to presumably lock Frost away in the Pipeline for their and her own safety, Savitar appeared and escaped with the still unconscious Killer Frost.
When Savitar lost his memory, Killer Frost realized that Team Flash erased Barry's memory to prevent the future Savitar is trying to create; but this also caused Wally to lose his powers. She offered them the hard choice of returning Barry's memory or leaving Central City vulnerable to attacks by meta-human criminals. Cisco encouraged her to remember being Caitlin Snow, which allowed her to help restore Barry's memory in surgery. She prepared to leave, with Julian confessing that he had fallen in love with her. This news briefly shocked Killer Frost, who coldly told Julian that she never loved him, then saying that went for the entire team. When in the elevator, her eyes briefly returned to normal, showing that Killer Frost could be turned back into Caitlin.
In a news report on a television reporting the arrest of Jared Morillo that Barry saw during his accidental trip to May 2017, a subheading read "Killer Frost still at large". While Barry succeeded in altering the circumstances of Morillo's arrest, with Wally defeating him instead of Barry in January instead, Caitlin's future remained the same. Barry later reveals to Joe that Caitlin's on the loose and they need to bring her in, prompting him to alert the CCPD. This causes the aforementioned headline.
Killer Frost was later seen talking to Savitar about his plans if he's really ready to end his former lover's life. He then stated that "It's either her or me", and that when the time comes she should be ready to do her part. When Savitar captured Iris HR Wells risked his life to stop him he switched appearances with her, so when Frost attacked them she didn't realize that she was actually taking back HR. Caitlin then met Vibe in a snowy forest area and said that she needs to "cure herself of Caitlin" and the only way to do that is to kill him. As the fight went on Killer Frost gained the upper hand. Right before Frost could finish off Cisco, Savitar appeared and stated she should keep him alive, as he needs him to modify the Speed Force Weapon. Later on, after Vibe finished making the modifications, Savitar ordered Caitlin to kill Cisco, which she tried to do, but Gypsy interfered and the two escaped.
Caitlin leaves Team Flash:
Killer Frost then helped Savitar get rid of the Black Flash, and then used the weapon on the God of Speed. While interrupted by Team Flash, she took on Gypsy and Vibe but was subdued. Cisco then offered Killer Frost the choice to use the cure and become Caitlin again or remain in her current state. When Savitar attacked Cisco and attempted to kill him, Killer Frost, without using the cure, managed to take control of herself and let go of the mad persona. She attacked Savitar and watched his defeat by Barry. Caitlin later attended the funeral of HR Wells, where she met Julian and Cisco. She told them about her decision to leave, in the hope that she can rediscover herself. They bid each other goodbyes and departed on good terms.
Rediscovery and return:
Trying to find her own way in life, Caitlin left Team Flash and journeyed away. Keeping a low profile, Caitlin didn't use her credentials to get a prominent job, instead becoming a bartender. During her stay away from S.T.A.R. Labs, Caitlin was contacted by Matthew Norvock, a member of Amunet Black's organization, and worked for them as Amunet's henchwoman. In exchange, Amunet used a transmodular genetic splicer, a piece of black market technology, to apparently split Caitlin and Killer Frost.
During Samuroid's attack on Central City Cisco vibed Caitlin's location and visited the bar she worked in. He managed to convince her to return back to the team, where she helped Cisco in locating and later diagnosing Barry, much to Iris's hatred. Rejoining the team, Caitlin worked on helping to get Barry back to sanity, including using the speedster weapon to stop his mad rampage. Reuniting with Barry, apologizing before Joe and trading banter with Cisco, - all of it influenced Caitlin into leaving her job and coming back to S.T.A.R. Labs. She informed her associates at the bar about her decision to leave and was confronted by Norvok, who tried to strong-arm Caitlin into staying, threatening her for not listening to Amunet's orders. Angered by such an attack, Killer Frost used her meta-human powers to intimidate Norvok, nearly killing him via brain freeze and saying "Touch my hand again and I'll freeze yours off. Maybe some other parts too." Afterward, she was riled up enough to go "have some fun" on a rampage but managed to force herself out of the violent mood, restoring her hair and eyes back to their natural color.
Killer Frost attempts to get out:
After Cisco finished running Barry through all the new functions of his suit, Caitlin overheard his conversation with Iris and took the opportunity to suggest couples counseling to her which she harshly and rudely declined stating that they would be fine since they're "Barry and Iris" (like that means anything). After their talk, the alarm for an unauthorized breach went off and Iris shouted to Caitlin to come with her and apprehend whoever it was, however, Caitlin turned her back as her eyes began to glow white, signaling Killer Frost attempting to take control. After Iris called her name a final time, her eyes returned to the normal brown and she followed Iris to the speed lab. When they got there, they were aiming weapons at the breach when Wally sped in, they all prepared for an attack until Cisco ran in and told them all to stand down. After many confused glances were sent his way, Gypsy ended up coming through and the three calmed down and exited the lab.
After Barry saves Tim Kwon, whose car had apparently been hacked, the team take the parts of his destroyed car and plug them into a computer only to find that it had the same code as the elevator that killed Kurt Weaver. Caitlin then recognized the code and revealed that it was an organic virus with a digital sub base. Cisco then recognized the names of the victims and him and Caitlin went to start digging into their past.
Caitlin and Cisco were working on finding out how the victims were connected in his lab until Gypsy walked through the door, wondering when she and Cisco were going to go on their date. Cisco then said that he found a picture that could help them in the mystery but couldn't identify one of the people in it. After Barry then saves Joe from a rogue bomb robot in CCPD, the team discovered that the man in the photo was Ramsey Deacon and he had the ability to control any from of technology. Caitlin and Cisco, still in his lab, were still looking for a weakness in Deacon's powers when Gypsy walks in, still wanting to know about her and Cisco's date. He then is forced to cancel their date and Gypsy just lets him know it's fine. Whilst Cisco thinks she is really is okay, Caitlin tells him that it meant she was not okay, he explains that he doesn't get it and she pats him on the back and leaves with a smile on her face after telling him, "You my friend, are in SO much trouble".
Later, after Deacon attacked Sheila Agnani and kidnapped Tim Kwan, Joe, Wally, and Caitlin were looking for both Deacon and Kwan using facial recognition and traffic cams, but to no avail. Iris then asks Cisco, who storms off after thinking about Gypsy, Caitin then goes to talk to him. After trying to calm him down, Gypsy jumps into his lab through a breach and explains that she is fine with him cancelling their date but Cisco remembers everything Caitlin told him and says that when a woman says it's fine, it's not actually fine causing Caitlin to get excited and shout "Amen!". Getting stares from both Cisco and Gypsy, she leaves the room, embarrassed. Later, the team go to the cortex and see a broadcast of Kwan explaining that he and his friends stole the Killg%re project from Deacon. Before Barry goes to defeat Deacon, Caitlin gives him the serum her and Cisco created in order to beat him. After getting his suit hacked and almost being killed, Barry is able to defeat Deacon and he gets incarcerated in Iron Heights.
After the pipes in the West house were making strange sounds, Team Flash spent a day out together where they played a game of laser tag together. After the game, they sat and had lunch just before the breach alert went off and they rushed back to S.T.A.R. Labs. When they reach the building, they find Wally and Harry in the breach room. Harry gives Wally a break-up cube with a message inside from Jesse who wanted to break up him after becoming so busy on Earth-2. After this an alarm goes off, signaling a problem a bank in the city. Before they leave Caitlin angrily tells Harry that they're not done. After Barry fails to stop the newest meta-human threat, Becky Sharpe, Cisco, Caitlin, Harry and Barry all watch the footage in the cortex until Joe and Iris walk in and are able to identify Becky. They come to the conclusion that she is a meta-human with the ability to manipulate luck but don't know how she could have powers since she wasn't in Central City when the particle accelerator exploded. They all begin working in their respective jobs to understand where she obtained her powers.
Later, Barry, Cisco, and Harry come back from looking where Becky got her powers and reveal that Barry coming out of the speed force caused people to become meta-humans. When looking for a plan, Cisco and Harry start to fight and Caitlin attempts to calm Cisco down but he simply states that they don't need him to beat Becky. Barry later tried to talk to her face to face but to no avail as she just caused more people to almost get hurt. He then returned to S.T.A.R. Labs and attempted to come up with a plan with Cisco, Caitlin, Wally and Joe where Cisco ends up naming Becky "Hazard". The rest of the team felt like they had been jinxed and Barry had to talk some sense into them until he gets a call from Iris and leaves. When an alarm sounded in the cortex, everyone ran in and Caitlin explained that there were events caused by bad luck all over the city, which meant that Becky's field of bad luck was growing, they all come to the conclusion that the more good luck she experiences the more her field would grow and the more people suffer. To make matters worse, Becky's field caused the particle accelerator to turn back on. Luckily, Becky ends up suffering bad luck when she didn't win in a casino which caused her field to shrink and Barry managed to get the power-dampening cuffs on her, meanwhile, Cisco and Harry were able to deactivate the accelerator. After everything calmed down, the team managed to figure out that when Barry came out of the speed force, he affected everyone on Central City Bus 405 and gave them all meta-human abilities. After this, Wally also ends up leaving the team due to his break up with Jesse. Caitlin gives him a hug and tells him "good luck".
Team Flash attempt to help Ralph:
After roaming the corridors of S.T.A.R. Labs, Caitlin comes across Breacher and when she reaches the cortex she asks Barry and Joe "why is the scariest person I have ever seen roaming our halls?" and they only respond with "Cisco". They then pull up a photo of Ralph Dibny and explain that he was a former corrupt cop that could've been on the bus on the day of Barry escaping the Speed Force. As Barry leaves, Caitlin and Iris comment on Ralph's handsomeness, comparing him to Oliver Queen. After Joe and Barry pay Dibny a visit, they discover that he is indeed a meta-human from the bus and take him back to S.T.A.R. Labs. When Ralph gets there, his legs are stretched out so far that his foot is in the hallway and as Barry and Caitlin attempt to calm him down, Iris runs in screaming in terror. Whilst attempting to figure out how his powers work, both Harry and Caitlin refer to him as "Silly putty", visibly upsetting him. They all then get into a fight that Caitlin quickly stops when she explains that she needs a sample of Ralph's blood and his arm elacticates, tripping her and making her accidentally throw powder in Ralph's face, causing him to sneeze and his face to fall into his hands, causing Joe to puke.
Caitlin gives Ralph a serum:
After calming Ralph down, the team return to the cortex and Iris asks Caitlin if there is anything she could do to help Ralph. She then explains that she would need a DNA sample of Ralph's before he was exposed to dark matter. However, Barry asks why she would help him considering he was a corrupt cop and is still a bad man and Caitlin explained that she took an oath and had to help him. When he refuses to consider that Ralph has changed, Caitlin brings up past events of her becoming Killer Frost. Barry then reluctantly goes to Ralph's office in order to find a sample. He later returns with Ralph's hairbrush, having narrowly escaped a bomb someone had planted in the office. When Barry begins to make remarks about Caitlin becoming buddies with Ralph she explodes with rage on Barry and explains that she understands what it's like to wake up one day with strange powers, which causes Iris to look at them and realize they are arguing like they are a married couple. The two are then interrupted by Joe entering the room but still shoot each other angry glares. Later, Caitlin manages to complete a serum that would help return Ralph to normal and gives it to him. When he drinks it, his limbs return to normal and she explains that he can be any shape he wants to be. He then reaches down to his stomach and reduces his fat into abs.
After Caitlin runs some test on Ralph, Barry and Joe enter the cortex and exclaim that they know Ralph is threatening the mayor with the information that he is cheating on his wife. When Ralph attempts to leave, Barry grabs him and the two begin to fight but when Barry goes in for a punch, his fist goes into Ralph's face. Angry, Ralph leaves the lab, leaving Team Flash shocked. Barry later stops the corrupt Mayor Bellows and reveals his identity to Ralph. The two then return to S.T.A.R. Labs and Barry and Joe reveal to Iris and Caitlin that Cecille is pregnant and all four of them embrace. Later, Caitlin returns to apartment to find a message written on her door by Amunet Black, saying that she misses Caitlin.
Embracing Killer Frost:
After receiving the message from Amunet, Caitlin books a flight in order to get out of Central City. Just as she is confirming it on her computer, Iris and Felicity walk in and push Caitlin into attending Iris's bachelorette party. She ultimately agrees but worries that Amunet may find her. Caitlin, Iris, Felicity and Cecille attend the party at a fancy restaurant and Iris notices that Caitlin is drinking excessively. When she looks to the entrance, she witnesses Norvok enter and walk to the girls' table. He asks her to come with him and Felicity mistakens him for a male stripper and when she asks him to take his pants off, he takes out his eye instead. Caitlin flips the table and Iris and Felicity begin attacking Norvok but are ultimately thrown to the ground. When he looks to Caitlin, Killer Frost takes control and the girls are shocked as they watch Caitlin's transformation. Frost then shoots a beam of ice at Norvok, knocking him out of a window and remarking "Ugh! I hate pink" then taking a big sip of the champagne. The three return to S.T.A.R. Labs and Killer Frost retrieves her suit that was stashed hidden from everyone. She then leaves the three other women at the lab and travels to Amunet's nightclub to confront her.
Once she arrives, Amunet is pleased to see her and shows her a meta-human that she has been keeping hostage in order to harvest his powers and sell them as a drug. She then proposes that she and Frost work together to take over the city and become Gods, however, Frost denies this offer and Amunet grows angry and begins to use her powers to slowly raise her metal in a bag beside her. Just as Frost raises her hand, ready to shoot an ice beam, Iris interrupts the two of them and compliments Amunet on her club and then asks Frost to come with her to get out of the club. After considering it, Frost complies and follows Iris out. When they return to the lab, Frost begins to get her things together and tells the girls about Amunet and her history with Caitlin. Just as she is about to leave, Iris manages to convince Frost to stay and fight Amunet instead of run from her. She leaves the lab and meets her under a bridge somewhere in the city and the two begin to fight. Killer Frost shoots at her with two ice beams but Amunet creates a metal shield that deflects both and then launches a large piece of metal into Frost's shoulder. Amunet then picks her up and begins to punch her several times, causing Frost to retreat back into Caitlin's mind and letting Caitlin take all the punches. Two officers pull up next to the scene, which distracts Amunet long enough for Caitlin to escape.
Back in the lab, Caitlin, now back in control, treats her own wounds and is finishing up as Iris walks in to check up on her. She helps Caitlin finish the last stitch on her shoulder and she asks Iris if Killer Frost had hurt anybody. When Iris explained that she didn't, Caitlin regretted coming back to the team and told Iris that she didn't consider her a real friend, only a "work friend" later stating as Killer frost "if you still wanna have a hand for Barry to put a ring on, I suggest you move it". Later, the girls get a location on Amunet and go to confront without Caitlin. However, the plan goes south and she catches Felicity and Iris but before she can kill them Caitlin enters and tries to make a deal with Amunet in exchange for her friend's lives. Her men then point their guns at Caitlin but she screams and sends an ice blast from her mouth at them, knocking them all down and bringing out Killer Frost. The girls get behind her and she creates an igloo around them to take over from Amunet's metal shards. They get the idea to use a magnet to stop Amunet using her powers and Frost explodes her igloo, knocking out all of Amunet's men. As Amunet gets ready to shoot her shards at the three women, Cecille turns the giant magnet on which attracts all of Amunet's shards. Killer Frost then forms an icicle in her hands and prepares to stab her before Iris foolishly stops her and tells her she can choose to be a hero. This gets through to Frost and she drops the icicle but Amunet promises to get her back and escapes, all thanks to Iris. Back at the lab, the boys return from the bachelor party and see Killer Frost standing in the cortex. She transforms back into Caitlin and explains everything about Frost. Later, Caitlin and Iris leave together and Iris asks her to be her maid of honor, which she accepts.
After this, Caitlin accepts Killer Frost as a part of her and the two begin working together as a team.
After Ralph told the team that he received an anonymous tip from some named "DeVoe", Caitlin, Cisco and Harry stayed up all night researching the entire city in order to locate someone with the name. Harry then reveals that he had met new friends who could help them with locating the mysterious "DeVoe". While Harry was contacting them, Barry recommended that they search for the remaining bus meta-humans and asked Ralph to try and identify some of them since he was on the bus. After visiting Dr. Sharon Finkel, Ralph was able to remember a woman wearing a yellow jacket with a bison on the back. A crime scene later showed up and Barry found blood on a statue, causing him to think that the statue may have came to life and so he brought a piece of it to Caitlin. She explains that the statue was flooded with dark matter and it was most likely a bus-meta. Joe then enters the cortex and explains that the victim of the crime scene was transporting an artifact that was formerly in the possession of Kristoff Banks and he then went back to CCPD to put Banks into protective custody.
After Banks is almost killed, the team identify the meta as Mina Chaytan. After Chaytan attacks a truck, Barry and Ralph are able to stop her and successfully incarcerate her but she is later able to escape custody and make her way out of CCPD. She then attacks a museum in order to steal back more ancient artifacts but is stopped by Barry and Ralph and incarcerated again, for good. Later, the team are able to identify and track down the mysterious DeVoe and Caitlin, Cisco and Ralph suit up as Barry and Joe walk up to his home in their civilian attires but when they knock on the door, a wheelchair-bound Clifford DeVoe and his wife, Marlize, answer the door, appearing to be quite normal people.
After Barry and Joe interview DeVoe and his wife, they return to the lab and the team debate whether or not he is the DeVoe they are looking for with Barry assuring everyone that he is the villain. He later manages to steal DeVoe's mug of coffee in order to get DNA for Caitlin to identify him as a meta but she is able to confirm that he is not a meta-human. However, Barry is still convinced that Clifford was the criminal mastermind behind the bus metas, even getting Cisco to vibe his mug but only seeing that he was having dinner with his wife. Whilst the team were sitting in the cortex, Barry walks in and shows them that the samuroid head had a camera in it and is convinced that it is DeVoe watching them. However, they find out he broke into the DeVoe house and believe that Barry has become obsessed with him. Later, Barry reveals that DeVoe knows he's The Flash and that he was right about DeVoe being evil, convincing the team that he needed to be stopped. Cisco even comes up with the name "The Thinker". After the explanation, Wally walks into the cortex and everyone runs to hug him. The team then explain that they are going to wait for him to make a move and get ready for Barry and Iris's wedding.
Stopping a Nazi invasion:
Before the wedding, Caitlin, Iris, Felicity and Kara Danvers went together for a manicure and discussed Felicity's relationship with Oliver and his son William. Caitlin remarked that they would be getting married too any day soon and the girls toasted to Barry and Iris. Later that night, before the rehearsal dinner, Caitlin encountered Martin Stein and the two sat down to speak. He commented that the last wedding they both attended together was Caitlin's and even mentioned Ronnie. Caitlin also told him that she helped Cisco and Harry create a serum to separate him and Jax and he told her that he knew since he saw her brilliance in it. She then left to go to the dinner and Martin told her he'd be there soon. At the rehearsal dinner, Caitlin ran into Mick Rory, who had previously kidnapped her back when he was a criminal, and she warned him no to try it again. The next day, the wedding ceremony was attacked by Nazis from Earth-X and the priest was killed by them. During the chaos, Cisco recommended Caitlin introduce Killer Frost, causing her to surface and join in the battle. Frost rose and began firing shots of ice at them, gaining the attention of Mick Rory who helped her. She then created a giant icicle over her hand and stabbed a series of Nazis. After the battle, the heroes return to S.T.A.R. Labs and Caitlin and Martin watched over Cisco who had been incapacitated. When Martin asked why Caitlin was dressed in her suit, she explained how her and her split personality work, which astonished him.
After discovering the Prometheus of Earth-X is Tommy Merlyn's doppelganger, the heroes came together in the Cortex and Harry explained the history of Earth-X, telling them about the Nazis winning WWII and Hitler's only dying in the 1990s. After the meeting, Caitlin and Harry worked together using dimensional vibrations to find the Earth-X Nazis. Caitlin, Harry and Jax attempted to work in Cisco's workshop but knew that dimensional breaching was Cisco's speciality and since he was incapacitated they couldn't find the Nazis. Martin then entered the lab and requested Harry and Caitlin leave so that he could talk to Jax alone, concerning their identity as Firestorm. The team later discovered that Dark Arrow and Overgirl were the doppelgangers of Green Arrow and Supergirl and that the Nazi speedster was Eobard Thawne who had somehow returned again.
Later, Caitlin, Harry and Felicity were attempting to find the Nazis when Caitlin was approached by Mick who asked how she brought Killer Frost to the surface. She explained that Frost appeared whenever she was scared or angry. Mick then humorously shouted "boo" in an attempt to scare Killer Frost out of Caitlin but he was only given an angry glance by everyone in the room. During this, Harry found out how to track down Overgirl and that they should be able to track down her location any minute. After they find the location, Green Arrow, White Canary, Supergirl, Alex, Firestorm and The Flash all go to apprehend the Nazis. However, this turned out to be a distraction to the lure out the heroes so the Nazis could take control of S.T.A.R. Labs. After handing Mick the German Mustard he was craving, Caitlin, Felicity and Iris all hear an alarm go off to alert them of Dark Arrow's arrival. The four went to the Speed lab to hide from him and when he arrived, Mick attacked him head on but Killer Frost came up from behind and managed to grab his bow, beginning to freeze it. However, it sent out a wave of energy that knocked her back against a wall. Black Canary, Wild Dog and Mr. Terrific then began to attack. This was all in vain as all the heroes were locked in the pipeline by the Nazis.
When stuck in the pipeline, Cisco finally woke up and immediately began to argue with Harry. Caitlin gave them a quick warning to stop but they continued anyway. Dinah, annoyed, then asked Caitlin if they were going to be like that the whole time they were trapped and Caitlin replied with a simple "probably".
The rest of the Legends eventually arrived at S.T.A.R. Labs and rescued the heroes trapped in the pipeline. As they entered the speed lab, the group was ambushed by Metallo. However, he was no match for them as Caitlin turned into Killer Frost and all of the combined abilities of Frost, Vibe, Black Canary, Wild Dog, Firestorm, The Ray, Heatwave, Zari Tomaz, Vixen and Steel come together and completely destroy Metallo. During the battle on Earth-X, Stein was injured so Caitlin, Jax and Martin rushed to the med bay on the Waverider in an attempt to save him. Caitlin quickly ordered Gideon to stop his bleeding and after she did, Jax suffered a fit and went into the same state as Martin due to them being linked by the Firestorm Matrix. Caitlin suggested that they merge as Jax is the only thing keeping Martin alive. After Caitlin did everything she could, Jax woke up and asked about Martin and Caitlin explained that he was sedated and that she and Gideon were doing everything they could to fix him.
Knowing that Martin's fate was likely sealed, Caitlin left the room and went to talk to Ray. She explained the situation and that Jax was acting as a human life support machine, keeping Stein alive for only so long. Ray remained optimistic that someone on the ship could figure something out. Jax later accepted this and was asked by Martin himself to end it, which he did, killing Martin. Caitlin and Cisco both stared out of the main window of the Waverider as they both mourned Martin's death. Later, Oliver gave a speech about never giving up and stated that they could beat the Nazis, which Killer Frost complimented. Gideon then informed everyone that the Nazis were attempting to contact the heroes. They all stood together as they spoke with Dark Arrow and he demanded Supergirl come with him and they would return to Earth-X quietly. Oliver refused, declaring war and the heroes went out on the battlefield. In order to destroy the Earth-X Waverider, the heroes needed someone on board to self destruct it manually. To do so, Killer Frost, Vixen and Zari all managed to get on board using Frost's ice path. The three managed to self-destruct the ship and escaped through a breach created by Cisco. In the end, the heroes managed to defeat the Nazis and everyone attended Martin's funeral. As Caitlin dropped dirt on his coffin, she asked him to tell Ronnie that she misses him.
Barry's incarceration:
During the holidays, Cisco decorated the Cortex with a huge blue Christmas tree and as him and Harry began arguing about the tinsel, Caitlin entered and asked where Gypsie was. He explained that she had to work on the holidays and couldn't make it to Earth-1. When Ralph entered, he mentioned an inside joke he had with Cisco, Harry and Killer Frost, leading Caitlin to believe that her friends would much rather hang out with Frost than with her. She then left to get a coffee at Jitters. At Jitters, Caitlin had a Killer Frost drink as Harry approached her. He told her that even though Ralph may have said that Frost was more fun than Caitlin, Harry thought that she was special and that her friends would much rather hang out with her than Frost. Just as the conversation ended, Amunet burst through the glass doors of Jitters and called out for Caitlin. Harry attempted to hold her off with a gun but she quickly disarmed him and smashed the gun, when she found Caitlin, she tried to turn into Killer Frost but Amunet swiftly grabbed her and put power-dampening cuffs on her.
Amunet took Caitlin to an abandoned hospital building an showed her an injured meta-human she had "found". She explained that she was planning on selling him but he wouldn't come quietly so she was forced to shoot him which ended up with him having a metal shard stuck in the side of his head, ultimately forcing her to seek out Caitlin to help him. Caitlin quickly accepted and explained that she would do what she could considering she wasn't in an ideal environment. When the meta-human woke up, Caitlin introduced herself and he also did, introducing himself as Dominic Lanse. Whilst explaining their situation, Caitlin discovered that he had the ability to read people's minds. Later, when preparing for the surgery, Dominic read Caitlin's mind and asked her about who Killer Frost was, forcing her to explain her alternate personality and how she works. She then questioned if they would ever escape due to her not having her powers at the time, but allowing her to realise that Dominic had powers that could help them.
The two snuck out of the hospital room and used Dominic's telepathy to spot any thugs around corners. However, this quickly failed as they were eventually cornered by Amunet and her men who brought them back to the hospital room. On the way back, Amunet questioned why Caitlin attempted to escape when she hasn't been injured once by Amunet the whole time and Caitlin revealed it was because she was doubting herself. Amunet then revealed that she was once a stewardess, who was constantly hit on by perverted pilots until she obtained her powers and made them pay. She told Caitlin that she was the brightest woman she knew and that she was capable of completing the surgery no matter the circumstances. She then ordered her to get back into the hospital room and complete the surgery.
During the surgery, Caitlin successfully removed the shard of metal and began to stitch Dominic up until he began to go into shock, causing Amunet to move her bag of metal shards, threatening to kill Caitlin. However, it was then revealed that Caitlin and Dominic had devised a plan to escape and managed to lace the ventilation with anaesthetic, knocking out Amunet and her men. The two ran out of the hospital but Amunet managed to catch up to them, almost stabbing them both in the back of their heads. They were almost shot again until Ralph and Cisco arrived and stopped the shards from hitting them, Cisco knocking back Amunet with a vibe blast. The four then escaped through a breach created by Cisco. The next day at S.T.A.R. Labs, the team discuss where DeVoe could be and that he could've potentially drowned after being thrown into water by Barry. That night, they have their annual Christmas party at the West house with even Dominic showing up. However, it is revealed to only Barry that Dominic was actually captured by Amunet and sold to the DeVoes, who killed him and allowed DeVoe to stab his own body and take over Dominic's. DeVoe's body is later left at Barry and Iris' apartment with a knife in his chest, framing Barry for his murder and getting him arrested by the CCPD.
Barry's trial:
After Barry was questioned by the CCPD, he was placed on house arrest but was able to attend a meeting in the cortex by Cisco hacking into his ankle monitor. After discussing DeVoe's plan, Barry agreed to go to Iron Heights if he was convicted, not wanting to become a fugitive. The whole team attended Barry's trial at the courthouse and after the lawyer mentioned the knife that was used to stab DeVoe, Caitlin noticed Iris was visibly upset and grabbed her hand. However, Joe got a message about a meta-human attack in the city, forcing him, Caitlin and Cisco to leave Iris with Barry in the courtroom. After studying the medical records of the victims that passed out at Central City Bank at the hospital, Caitlin entered the cortex and explained everything to Cisco and Harry. She told them that they had all suffered from radiation poisoning and that they needed to find the meta-human before he poisoned the whole city or even worse, became a nuclear bomb. Cisco even nicknamed the meta "Fallout".
Later, Cisco and Harry managed to get a location on Fallout and the two went to try and apprehend him while Caitlin stayed and monitored them from the cortex. However, this only turned out to be a waste disposal truck. They finally managed to get a correct location on Fallout and called Barry, forcing him to postpone his conviction. Harry and Cisco then concluded that they needed Killer Frost in order to cool Fallout down and stop the nuclear explosion. At first, Caitlin can't transform because she needed to be scared or angry but after Cisco began listing things that would be destroyed if she didn't fight, Frost finally emerged. After jumping through a breach, Cisco and Killer Frost reached the location and Frost immediately froze Fallout with an ice blast. However, he managed to thaw his way out and shot a beam of radiation at her, sending her flying through a bus sop and knocking her unconscious. Barry and Cisco eventually managed to defeat Fallout and he was incarcerated at A.R.G.U.S.. However, Barry is later convicted and sent to Iron Heights.
Losing Killer Frost:
After assaulting S.T.A.R. Labs, killing Matthew, Janet and Edwin; taking their skills and possessing Ralph Dibny, Clifford DeVoe had a confrontation with Vibe, Killer Frost and Flash. When Killer Frost grabbed him to stab him with a block of ice, he used Brainstorms powers to create a psychic block on Killer frost, thereby taking Killer Frost out of Caitlin but not completely taking her from existence.
Caitlin was saddened because she was starting to come to terms, and form a kind of friendship with her other personality. She subsequently tried everything she could think of to try to get her alter-ego back. She concluded that it was possible to get Killer Frost back, she just had to find a way to make her appear.
Searching for her father and recovering Killer Frost:
Team Flash had discovered that Caitlin's father's death certificate was a fake and that he was actually alive. Barry, Caitlin and Cisco eventually tracked him down to a warehouse owned by Tannhauser Industries. However, it was later discovered that he was also a cryogenic meta-human that had an evil split personality that attacked the team. The personality wanted to use a serum, that Caitlin reluctantly created, to kill off Thomas for good and inhabit the body himself. Just as he was about to inject himself, Caitlin managed to break through the mental block that DeVoe had created, allowing Killer Frost to emerge and shoot him back with an ice blast. He quickly attempted to convince Frost to take the serum as well and work with him but she refused, stating that Team Flash was her true family. As she walked towards him, she stood on and destroyed the serum. She created an ice-fist and began to punch him but stopped as Thomas' personality emerged and spoke to Caitlin. This turned out to be a short reunion as the evil personality reemerged and shot her back with an ice blast, proceeding to use two ice blasts to launch himself into the air and escape. Later, Caitlin discovered that she could use the cerebral inhibitor to speak to Frost through the mental block and the two began to catch each other up.
Altered reality:
After being effected by the Book of Destiny which was being operated by John Deegan, Caitlin along with John Diggle were all "rewritten" as henchmen for the latter, who had made himself a version of Superman. Caitlin's Killer Frost side had either fully taken over or both Killer Frost and Caitlin's personalities had merged, which was evident from Caitlin's white/grey hair, her ice blue eyes and her normal voice.
Erased future:
According to Craig, a member of Savitar's cult, Caitlin would have been described as being "glorious and powerful", and Savitar had "special plans" for her, which did come true as she helped him and he needed her to kill Black Flash.
When Barry visited a possible future, in the year 2024, it is revealed that Caitlin allied herself with Savitar. Moreover, during a climactic battle, Vibe's arms were frozen and shattered by Caitlin, forcing him to replace them with bionic arms and subsequently making him unable to use his powers. Caitlin, still as Killer Frost, has been locked up in Iron Heights, and still refuses to divulge the identity of Savitar, with Julian as her caretaker.
Powers:
Cryogenic/Meta-human physiology: When Caitlin's father, Thomas Snow, learned that his daughter inherited his ALS gene, he used cryogenic research to freeze the progression of the disease, which also granted Caitlin her newfound powers. They remained dormant for 17 years (apart from a few brief episodes during her childhood), as several tests never showed signs of a meta-gene. Three years after the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator explosion, Caitlin's powers finally emerged fully.
Transformation: After Caitlin and Killer Frost decided to be just one, Caitlin became able to transform into Killer Frost and vice-versa; for example, she remembered her anger against her childhood bully and cut her hand with a broken bottle (which healed immediately) to trigger her alternate personality. Caitlin's transformation affects her physical appearance, as it turns her hair white/grey and changes her eye color to an icy blue.
Energy absorption/Cryokinesis: Caitlin's powers work by absorbing all existing heat around her, thereby reducing the temperature and to freeze targets well-below negative 370 degrees, even shattering beings as powerful as the Black Flash.Furthermore, her powers can reach such low levels that they can completely negate a speedster's healing powers and alternatively neutralize accelerated decomposing. Caitlin can create various ice structures with ease, such as large bulletproof shields that can with standing point blank automatic rifle rounds as well as launch upon manifestation sharp projectiles in rapid succession. Caitlin can conjure icy blades around her arms as means of transportation by producing icy waves of such propulsive strength, with one hand behind her, to propel herself forth across an ice slide she forms before her with her other hand, similar to Firestorm's fire-based propulsion ability. Her powers can also affect the weather around her, dropping the climate of the area and cause it to snow. A tell-tale sign of Caitlin accessing her powers is producing icy mist from her hands.
Freezing kiss: Caitlin is able to near-instantly freeze people through a kiss, allowing her powers to enter her victims' bodies and freeze them from the inside. This was shown when she kissed and nearly killed Barry Allen before being interrupted by Cisco Ramon.
Cryokinetic constructs: Caitlin can create various structures and weapons made out of ice, of which she can utilize during a fight.
Ice spike projection: Caitlin is able to create spikes out of ice in order to use in combat as projectiles, daggers, swords, and claws.
Cryokinetic surfing: Caitlin can freeze particles around her, utilizing it to create an ice slide which she can use to get around much faster. She can also use her cryogenic powers to continuously propel her on the slide to increase her speed by placing one hand behind her to push herself along. Caitlin can also extend the slide while propelling herself along by freezing the particles in front of her when she is on the ice slide.
Freezing breath: Caitlin is able to create a fog with her breath. About six months following the defeat of Savitar, Caitlin, as Killer Frost, grew powerful enough to orally produce cold mists with enough momentum to knock several people backwards and off their feet.
Cold immunity: An added benefit to her powers, Caitlin also exhibits a high resistance to frigid temperatures. She is shown to be able to hold the ice constructs she manifests with little trouble. Caitlin was also seen unaffected by a snowstorm she created after escaping S.T.A.R. Labs and later when Icicle decreased the temperature in a lab to absolute zero.
Accelerated healing factor: While accessing her powers, Caitlin's metabolic rate is augmented to offset cold tissue destruction, allowing her endure more grievous injuries and likewise heal much faster than even a speedster, though foreign matter must first be taken out to not impede the healing. After clinically dying from a combination of a seizure and her reopened impalement wound, she was immediately resuscitated into a stable and cognitive state while her wound seamlessly healed completely in seconds. However, her healing powers only work when her Killer Frost side takes over, as wounds inflicted by Amunet Black left Caitlin bruised and requiring stitches.
Mental communication: Caitlin and Killer Frost are able to talk to each other whenever one of them is in control.
Remote cryokinesis: While transforming into Killer Frost, Caitlin can freeze objects without physical contact to the object itself, as shown when H.R. Wells' coffees had frozen while her presence was near. This ability is seemingly passive, meaning that Killer Frost isn't willingly controlling it. Later on though, Killer Frost isn't shown freezing liquids in her presence.
Abilities:
Genius-level intellect/Master scientist: Caitlin is extraordinarily intelligent, gaining a PhD and two doctorates by the time she was 28 and being a promising bioengineer at S.T.A.R. Labs. Her talents have been a crucial aid in helping Team Flash. Working together, she and Cisco Ramon were able to use a sample of the Mirakuru to create a cure for it. Caitlin was also able to create new Velocity serums for "Jay Garrick" that temporarily healed him. She also somewhat understands the features of the Speed Force.
Computer specialist: As a member of S.T.A.R. Labs, Caitlin has some technological skills of note, albeit not her main area of expertise. This is evident in her ability to reprogram the S.T.A.R. Labs satellite to track meteorological abnormalities over Central City in order to locate Clyde Mardon. Caitlin was able to determine that Ramsey Deacon's powers produced an organic virus and helped Cisco create a compound to invert it.
Medical knowledge: Caitlin is an expert in medical care and acts Team Flash's medical support. Caitlin monitored Barry Allen's condition while he was comatose. She was also able to cure him when he was poisoned by Kyle Nimbus and patch him up when he was seriously injured by Tony Woodward, including setting his shoulder back into place. Caitlin was also able to patch up Eobard Thawne after he was brutally beaten up by his Reverse-Flash speed mirage. Caitlin once mentioned that she knows how to perform a lobotomy, a procedure that requires both training and skill in the field of neurosurgery. Caitlin even had the ability to potentially surgically extract a thermite bomb from Lisa Snart's head. Caitlin is well-trained in obstetrics, as shown when she monitored Cecille Horton's pregnancy after the latter gained meta-human powers. Caitlin was even able to successfully deliver Jenna West at S.T.A.R. Labs.
Skilled hand-to-hand combatant: To a yet to be elaborated degree, during the six months in which she worked as an enforcer for Amunet Black, Caitlin as Killer Frost developed a measure of sheer hand-to-hand combat skills when she reversed an arm bar Norvok exerted upon her, slamming and pinning him painfully against a pinball machine. Caitlin fought evenly with and even briefly pushed back Orlin Dwyer. She even managed to hold her own against an older Grace Gibbons for a while, but was eventually overwhelmed.
Skilled swordswoman: During the Earth-X invasion, Killer Frost was able to create ice swords and take down multiple Nazis with ease.
Skilled markswoman: Caitlin displayed incredible accuracy when armed with a Cold Gun, able to incapacitate a riled-up Barry running wildly around S.T.A.R. Labs after he gained enhanced super-speed, something even Cisco was unable to accomplish with his vibrational blasts. After Clifford DeVoe seemingly took away her powers, Caitlin began occasionally the Cold Gun as her primary weapon of choice when operating in the field.
Skilled knife wielder: During a fight with Cicada, Killer Frost displayed incredible proficiency with a dagger, even managing to injure him.
Indomitable will/High tolerance for pain: Caitlin has a remarkable level of endurance; despite sustaining grievous injuries from an attack by Abra Kadabra, she was able to maintain consciousness throughout her surgery while instructing Julian Albert in removing the shrapnel from her body. Also, despite being brutally pummeled into unconsciousness by Amunet, Caitlin was able to recover enough to flee when Amunet was distracted and eventually stitch up her own injuries. Caitlin was also able to eventually overpower Killer Frost and coexist with her alter-ego. During a fight with an older Grace Gibbons, Caitlin managed to keep fighting against her despite having multiple injuries on her arms until Grace overpowered her.
Weaknesses:
Carbine: Caitlin has implied that like her Earth-2 counterpart, her powers have no effect on carbine.
Power-dampening tech: Like most meta-humans, If Caitlin is wearing power-dampening cuffs, she can't use her powers.
Abnormally high temperatures (possibly): While never seen, it's possible that Killer Frost can't use her powers under intense heat.
"Flashtime": Killer Frost can't use her powers while moving at high speeds since this causes friction between her atoms and friction creates intense heat under these circumstances.
Equipment:
Killer Frost suit: Caitlin wears a protective suit as her alter-ego, Killer Frost. Upon gaining full control over her powers and aiding her friends in the final battle against Savitar, she stopped wearing it. However, after her Killer Frost side returned, Caitlin starts wearing a new protective jacket when she is in battle.
Cerebral inhibitor: Caitlin used the cerebral inhibitor to bypass the mental blockage placed in her mind by DeVoe to talk to Killer Frost. After a week of using the inhibitor, Caitlin and Killer Frost were able to talk and switch body's without the use of the device. When Nora West-Allen was stuck in Grace Gibbons' mind, and Barry Allen and Iris West were stuck in Nora's, Caitlin used the inhibitor to communicate with them before the device began burning up.
Personality(Civvie):
Caitlin is very intelligent and passionate about her work as a bio-engineer and scientist, occasionally becoming excited at the possibility of observing supernatural biology in meta-humans. She is generally a very compassionate and caring woman and is determined to help others through her work. Caitlin loved her fiancé Ronnie Raymond very much, stating that he knew how to make her laugh. She and was devastated by his apparent death, which sent her into a state of depression for almost a year. As a result of this she, didn't smile much. However, since being brought onto the team, working with Barry Allen, helping people and saving lives, she has started to liven back up. She has shown great concern for Barry as she often advises against engaging meta-humans they know little about and was initially against Barry using his powers as a guardian angel for Central City, though she eventually grew to accept and even participate in it.
Caitlin is also seen to be somewhat "guarded", in her own words, and timid as seen when she was terrified of going into the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator it being the location of Ronnie's supposed death, though she later overcame this obstacle with Barry's support, becoming more assertive, brave and confident. Despite them being quite different in personality, she is also close friends with Cisco Ramon but finds his need to nickname every meta-human they face annoying, although she has occasionally nicknamed a meta-human now and then herself. Leonard Snart considers Caitlin to be "uptight", which his sister agrees with. When Caitlin was reunited with Ronnie, alive and well after he was separated from Martin Stein, she was overjoyed, no traits of her initial depressive, forlorn personality remaining. When she finally marries Ronnie, she is perfectly content accepting that everything she's experienced over the past year, leading up to wedding the man she loves has been worth it. When Caitlin loses Ronnie again, this time for real, Caitlin is devastated, so much she is unable to stay in S.T.A.R. Labs as she blames herself for his death. However she has slowly managed to recover and regained her desire to help Team Flash.
Though not as prominent as her other traits, Caitlin has a somewhat flirtatious side to her personality. Often when flustered or uninhibited by the effects of alcohol she can become silly, frazzled, and hinted a few times during her night out at the dive bar with Barry that she dropped many hints that she was interested in Barry. After meeting Hunter Zolomon, masquerading under the name "Jay Garrick", he and Caitlin have quickly become infatuated with each other, their infatuation developing into a relationship. Caitlin's love for Hunter was the driving force for her to find a cure for his condition. However, after the revelation of "Jay Garrick" as the man behind the mask of Zoom, Caitlin did not allow her feelings to cloud her judgment on Zoom's misdeeds, rightfully recognizing him as "nothing but a monster" and refusing to accept Hunter's lingering affection for her. Nevertheless, Caitlin called upon those feelings, her face in tears, when she tried to influence Hunter to show his merciful side, sparing Barry Allen from certain death.
Caitlin is shown to be extremely Naive when it comes to men (with a pretty face, huge muscles and shining teeth) and trust. Like when Barry refused to trust Jay Garrick (a stranger from another Earth that they know very little of), Team Flash (especially Caitlin) quickly did. And that resulted not only Team Flash being betrayed again, but also resulted Barry's father getting murdered in the same place, in the same way. Then when Ralph Dibny's name popped up as one of the metas on the bus, she was showing sympathy toward him despite the fact that even though he didn't deserve it, Caitlin doesn't know Ralph like Barry does and she hasn't even meet him.
After her imprisonment with Hunter, it seems that Caitlin began suffering from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), due to her former lover and his frightening behavior and repeated displays of violence in front of her, seeing visions of Zoom when he's not there, and questioning if she still has her sanity.
Since Caitlin has been developing cryogenesis/cryokinesis abilities like her Earth-2 counterpart she has been terrified of becoming just like her. While reluctant to tell her friends she has used these powers to aid them occasionally without them knowing, but has gradually realized her inability to control them. This has made Caitlin very terrified but as a result of her changing biology she has become increasingly temperamental, which causes her appearance to become more like her Earth-2 counterpart. However, Caitlin is still sane enough to realize this but is only more horrified at her increasingly inability to manage her emotions. However, her desire to retain her humanity and her biology changing to make her more "cold", seems to be causing Caitlin to develop dissociative identity disorder.
As Killer Frost:
Worrying about her new-found, uncontrolled powers, Caitlin's emotions become heightened enough that she became a vindictive, angry and cruel individual, similar, but not identical to Frankie Kane's split personality disorder. Also like Frankie, when affected by her powers, her eyes glow pale blue (while Frankie's glow pink). However, while Magenta tried to get rid of the Frankie persona altogether, Killer Frost state amplifies Caitlin's own fears, insecurities and bitterness. As Killer Frost, she mocked Barry by mentioning his most horrible failures including the deaths of his mother, father, Eddie and Ronnie, as well as revealing to Cisco that his brother, Dante was alive in the pre-Flashpoint timeline, before Barry changed it. She expressed bitterness over Barry only caring about himself and his own happy ending, while she was left broken.
Caitlin also mocked Cisco by calling him pathetic for feeling sorry that he had to hurt her to save Barry. She openly blamed Barry for what's happened to her, yet admitted that she feels broken. She nearly killed Julian and one of Alchemy's Acolytes, however she was still unable to kill Barry, making her snap out of her anger, as she became horrified at what she almost did.
Once Killer Frost was fully awakened due to Caitlin's temporary death and revival, she states that she doesn't want to be cured and wants Caitlin never to come back. She allies herself with Savitar after he reveals himself to her.
Killer Frost went after Tracy Brand after Savitar promised that if she lives up to her name and murders Tracy, she could be a god. She arrived at CCU in her new outfit and attacked Barry and Cisco, but when Barry fought back with fire, she ran away. She then attacked Tracy for the second time outside Jitters and continuously formed an ice slide that she slid on for a while without any difficulty. She took advantage of the fact that Cisco would not hurt her and almost hit him with a blast that Barry took. She stabbed Barry in the leg so that he couldn't follow her and she left, claiming that this is her now.
Later, Killer Frost kidnapped Joe's girlfriend Cecille outside of Joe's home and threatened to kill her if Joe and the team did not hand over Tracy to her and Savitar. Later at the supposed exchange site, she claimed that killing Cecille would bring her no joy but Tracy's death at her hands would. When Barry tried to talk her out of it, she knew exactly what Barry was going to say. She and Cisco later faced off, and while she seemed calm at first, she later fought back as hard as she can and lost to him. Cisco managed to get a sample of her blood, which could be the key to making a cure for her. Before Cisco can take her, Savitar arrived and took her away.
Despite all this, while reluctantly working alongside her former allies, it was shown she still has a strong attachment to her memories of working at S.T.A.R. Labs when she and Cisco reminisced about Ronnie losing his temper back when they were trying to build the particle accelerator. However. Killer Frost also showed in this moment that thinking about who she used to be made her uncomfortable as she quickly, sullenly, stated that she didn't want to stay any longer than she had to. Her conflicted feelings about herself and her old allies was again emphasized when she told Team Flash she never loved them and left, only for the assertion to hurt her heart enough to cause the real Caitlin to emerge for a few seconds once she was out of the team's sight.
Despite her continued allegiance to Savitar, Caitlin began showing signs of regret and doubt in her betrayal. During the final confrontation of Team Flash and Savitar, Cisco's unceasing loyalty for Caitlin finally enabled Caitlin's true-self to become permanently restored and reconciled with her friends. At the same time, she felt lost, unsure of who she is now.
After her experiences with Amunet Black, Caitlin began to realize that she could co-exist with Killer Frost and started treating her alter-ego as a friend and fellow teammate rather than an adversary. Though their relationship was slightly tenuous at first, Caitlin began to develop better control over her powers and accept her alter-ego as a part of her. To which, Caitlin was devastated when her powers were apparently taken away by Clifford DeVoe and determined to find a way to restore Killer Frost.
As Killer Frost 2024:
In the future in which Iris dies, by the time of the year 2024, Caitlin has become too far gone to the point where she refuses to be called real name, as she prefers being called by her alias "Killer Frost", she becomes angry when people call her by her real name, despite her insanity and cold nature, Caitlin is very observant, she was able to realize that the Barry Allen she was speaking to was the younger-self of her Barry; due to the look on his face, as the latter had not yet become emotionally broken, as his Iris was not dead yet. This future was later erased when Savitar killed H.R. instead of Iris.

- History
Origin
The Main DC-Earth
Harley's origin was, for years, identical in the comics to the one seen in the Batman animated series.
But, in the comic series Harley Quinn, a quite different one was established.
Born Harleen Quinzel, Harley's mother is a somewhat harsh, but forgiving lady, who constantly calls Harley evil and compares her to other heroes. Harley's younger brother is a dead beat with children from at least two different women and still lives in his mothers house. Harley apparently sent him several large sums of money to get his life on track, but he squandered it. Harley's father is a criminal con-man, known for swindling women out of their money with his charm. Harley states that the main reason she became a psychiatrist was so she could understand why her father did what he did to their family.
Harley went to study psychology, but found doing so dull. She tricked her way in to a college.
She came up with a theory about being in love having similarities with being a criminal. About, how far can someone go for love and decided to use her boyfriend, Guy, as the test subject, pretending that she had committed various crimes, such as murdering a teacher, to Guy's surprise. Thinking he was looking out for Harley he shoots an innocent man believing him to be "murdered" professor who hadn't died yet.
Guy thinks that he can`t live with the guilt, and wants to die, but can't bring himself to suicide and asks Harley to kill him instead. And she does, for love, disguising the murder as a suicide.
Traumatized by these events, she begins to believe that universe is in a constant state of chaos, like Guy thought. She represses her feelings of sorrow, and feels connected with the Joker, who believes in some of the same things as Guy, and so finds a job at Arkham Asylum, demanding to speak to him.
During the very first session, she shows the Joker her blossoming insanity, and obsession towards him. Joker finds this appealing, and Harley helps him escape various times, before eventually becoming his henchgirl.
Eventually Harley was caught by Batman and put into a cell in Arkham - she is able to escape time and time again. During the events of No Man's Land she is finally able to escape, immediately choosing to rejoin with the Joker and help him in his crimes. Later, in another retelling of her origin it is explained that she was a psychology student working part time as a stripper to pay her bills.
She lies about Joker having seduced her, and making her gradually insane, later on.
DC's Animated Universe
Harley's origin was told in Batman: The Animated Series episode and comic entitled Mad Love. The story starts off with Dr. Harleen Quinzel working as an intern in Arkham Asylum. She discovered the Joker and quickly became fascinated with his insane motives. She voluntarily asked for a chance to analyse him. During one of their sessions the Joker tells her about his tragic past and how his father abused him. She gained sympathy for him and quickly fell in love with him. She helped the Joker escape dressed up a the Harley Quinn. So, started her career as the Joker's sidekick.
Later, Harley finds out that everything the Joker had told her was most likely a lie or scam. He was deliberately telling her what she wanted to hear to endear himself to her. This is something that Joker does to Harley all throughout their relationship. She knows this and continually tries to leave him but like an abused spouse, she just keeps forgiving him and runs back into his arms all the time. Of course Harley gets her license revoked when her superior Joan Leland finds out she is the one who released the Joker.
Ever since the beginning of her relationship with the Joker, Harley has played a very submissive role. She has often been used and abused by the Joker to the point where her life has been threatened on several occasions. Yet she remains faithful to her man and stands by him when things go wrong. Quinn's relationship with the Joker is one of the most complex and twisted love affairs in comics. As with all people, Joker is abusive and manipulative towards Harley, but just as often there's evidence of camaraderie, playfulness, and affection towards her. She's the only person who's managed to become intimate on such a long term basis with the Joker and, while he generally accepts their relationship, we even see the Joker's occasional moments of confusion and discomfort which results in attempts to kill her.
Creation
Joker and Harley
Harley Quinn was originally created for the cartoon Batman: The Animated Series by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm in 1992. She was originally only intended for the episode "Joker's Favor," however she became so popular over night that she made more appearances on the show and it's various spin-offs and movies. She was also in the comics that were part of the same universe as the television show known as the DC Animated Universe (DCAU). There she first appeared in The Batman Adventures issue 12 (1993).
Harley was inspired by actress Arleen Sorkin, largely due to her character wearing a jester costume in an episode of Days of Our Lives. This is where Dini got some of the ideas for Harley's costume and personality. The show even got the actress Arleen Sorkin to voice the character in the show and history was made.
She became so popular in fact that DC decided to bring her over into the mainstream DC universe. This Harley Quinn however lost some of the characteristics that made her so popular on the show and she was written as a much more psychotic dark character than she had been in the DCAU. Harley's first comic book appearance in the continuity of the mainstream DC Universe was in Batman: Harley Quinn issue 1 (10/1999) which was written by Paul Dini.
Character Evolution
Modern Age: New Earth
Harley Quinn (New Earth)
Harley's career as the Joker's sidekick consisted mostly of her being where he could not. He used her less recognizable face to get into places he could not so he wouldn't get arrested, and she was also usually a sort of field leader to Joker's henchmen when Joker himself decided to sit out on whatever they where doing. She was trusted with the intimate details of most of his plans, and as stated earlier, was also often betrayed by Joker when he needed a scapegoat. After a while Harley got fed up with Joker and set off on her own. She even started a gang of her own that didn't last very long due to many or all of the gang being killed shortly after it was formed. She also teamed up with Poison Ivy and had some run-ins with Thorn and Superman.
Post-Flashpoint: Earth-0
Harley Quinn (Earth-0)
With the changes brought to the DC Universe by the launch of The New 52 following the events of Flashpoint, Harley has undergone further evolution, with a new look, origin and history. The architect of her changes being Adam Glass. The arc introducing set to introduce the new origin of Harley Quinn, which, according to the series' writer, is set to have a deeper psychological aspect to it, not necessarily changing familiar traits of the character, but adding more to her mythos. Glass has also expressed his belief in Harley being more than just a support character. "I think the difference between the Harley in my book and what Paul Dini did is that I'm writing a Harley that is not about the Joker. Now I'll go on record for saying this, but I think that Harley Quinn will always be loyal and faithful to the Joker when he is around. But when the Joker is not around she's a young woman who is very capable of doing many things, and she is her own person."
She appears in the ongoing series titled "Suicide Squad" along side of Deadshot, El Diablo, Black Spider, King Shark, and Sportsmaster. Most notable changes has happened to her wardrobe and general design, with the color scheme of blue and red replacing the most well known black and red combo. Her hair is now exposed, and changed to a half red and blue color, replacing the blonde. Overall her design has been heavily criticized for lacking familiar elements of the quirky clown, sacrificing her usual character qualities for sex appeal. The main issue with the new look is mostly agreed to be lack of jester appearance, which has initially been Harley Quinn's namesake. The only justification to the change from Bruce Timm's classic design given has been that "People liked her look in Arkham Asylum". No real further comment was provided.
Harley's origin was tweaked. She remained a doctor at Arkham Asylum where she "treated" the Joker, but knew from the get go that he was lying to her. Regardless, she still fell for him, and when she found out that her superior was stealing her research for a book, it drove Harley to help the Joker escape. Joker would bring her to the chemical plant where Batman caused the accident that bleached his skin, deforming him, and throws Harley into the same chemicals, causing a similar effect on her.

Ivy originally saved Harley but recognized that she was one of the doctors at Arkham. When Harley woke up Ivy planned to kill her, but when Harley did not care what Ivy was going to do as she was upset, it made Pamela curious. Ivy convinced Harley to tell her what her problem was. After Harley told Ivy about everything, Ivy and Harley became instant best friends and Ivy vowed to help her gain her revenge for what Joker put her through. She was so angry at the Joker that she even teamed up with Batman to help bring him down. She chased Joker up the building while Batman took care of his henchmen. Harley was ready to kill the Joker, but when he apologized to her, she forgave him right away and they made up with a kiss. Ivy is angry at Harley for getting back with Joker, but eventually forgives her. Harley and Ivy have a sisterly-like bond and Ivy is usually the one Harley goes to when she and Joker have a break.
Harley visits the Joker in Arkham as his speech therapist while he's receiving electroshock therapy & surgery after surviving a point-blank gunshot to the head at close range. The Joker decides to revamp himself & kill all his links to his past & be reborn in a baptism of blood, with the usual exclusion of Batman. He orders Harley to kill all his former henchmen, and she abides with no questions asked. It is later revealed that he plans on killing her too, as she is another connection to his old life. Batman steps in before the plan can go as it's supposed to and the two duke it out. Eventually, a heartbroken Harley shoots Joker in the shoulder, allowing Batman to get the upper hand and take Joker back to Arkham Asylum.
After Infinite Crisis
One year after Infinite Crisis, Harley was in Arkham and was trying to get out the right way. She was kidnapped by Scarface and the Ventriloquist who offered her a deal to help them both get extremely rich. Harley agreed and proceeded with the plan, however, out of respect for the older Ventriloquist, Arnold Wesker, she calls the police instead. Batman arrives and they both foiled Scarface's plan and after that, Harley went back to Arkham. The next day she was free to go with the vote of Bruce Wayne.
After a brief run with the Secret Six, Harley decided to call it quits, and joined the Metropolis branch of the Athenian Women's Shelter, which is secretly a training facility for future members of Granny Goodness's Female Furies. There she meets up with Holly Robinson, a former stand-in for Catwoman. The two become friends, and end up working under-cover for Queen Hippolyta, who was trying to discover the truth about the false Athena who is training "Amazons" on Themyscira.
Powered Up
On Apokolips, after Mary Marvel frees the imprisoned Gods that later grant her power, Harley demands that she and Holly get something too for everything they've done. Thalia is amused by Harley's feistiness and grants her a small portion of the cunning of Thalia, the Muse of Comedy, seemingly appropriate because of Harley's past. Harley Quinn's costume is slightly more Greek- like and she also gained a nice new hammer to go with her new super human abilities. While returning to Earth, Harley's powers vanish.
Much later, a supposedly reformed Harley finds herself back in Gotham City, after receiving a large sum of money from Catwoman (Selina Kyle) for her aid in dealing with Hush. Harley ends up living with Ivy, who is slumming in the apartment of the Riddler. Ivy takes Selina to their home after rescuing her from a crazed super villain wannabe named Boneblaster. After seeing that Ivy has brainwashed the Riddler in order to get him to be passive while they use his place, Harley arrives with many shopping bags. Selina sees first hand what Harley has been doing with the large sum of money she gave to Harley. Ivy and Catwoman bring up the Joker, and Harley insists that she is over him, but she is not very convincing at all. Seeking to make a name for himself, Boneblaster followed the girls to the apartment and attacks them. Harley, Ivy and Selina defeat him easily, but the apartment is destroyed in the process.
Gotham's Sirens
The Sirens
Back in Gotham City Selina obtains a new living space in the form of an abandoned animal shelter and invites Harley and Ivy to live with her, stating that girls like them should stick together as a gang. Harley and Ivy agree, but first they drug Selina and ask her to tell them who the Batman is. Selina, her mind protected thanks to techniques taught to her by Talia al Ghul, gives a fabricated tale of multiple Batmen. Ivy and Harley believe her, though Harley is skeptical, postulating through her psychiatric background that a single man could be the Batman if he underwent some sort of "severe childhood trauma."
Harley ignores her thoughts temporarily to go shopping, and encounters a bunch of hooded thugs who had kidnapped Bruce Wayne and were trying to get away in a red vehicle. Harley leaps onto the car and defeats the thugs, in thanks for Bruce signing her parole papers in the past. Unknown to her is the fact that "Bruce" is actually Thomas Elliot (Hush) who was masquerading as the billionaire. She goes with him amicably as he thanks her for saving him.
When she sends Selina a phone message with a photo of her with "Bruce," Selina realizes that Harley was with Hush, and rushes to help her with Ivy in tow. When they arrive at the cafe where Hush and Harley took the picture, all Selina and Ivy find is Harley's phone next to a stabbed harlequin doll.
Hush takes Harley to a high rollers lounge, where he secretly plans to push her off the top floor to her death. As Hush keeps moving her to darker and more secluded places, Harley is under the impression he is trying to get her alone to kiss her. Once they are finally alone and in the dark, a light pierces the darkness as one of Jokers blimps shines a spotlight on them. The henchmen then open fire on the two of them, and after dancing around gun fire for a little bit Ivy shows up and stops the blimp with her plants.
Ivy, Catwoman, and Harley return back to their new hideout and Harley goes on a long speech about how Joker must still love her. Just then the Joker-mobile crashes through the window of their room. A robot Joker then steps out of the car and explodes. The girls survive, and after Ivy puts out the fire, her and Catwoman begin yelling at Harley until getting her to agree that they need to kill Joker.
Once arriving at the Joker's hideout, they are immediately greeted by the Joker's gunfire. Harley almost instantly realizes that the Joker is not the real Joker, but thinking she has gone soft for Joker, Ivy wraps her in vines before she can say so. Once Harley unbinds the vines from her mouth, she states the impostor is Gaggy, a former sidekick of Joker that resents Harley for taking him.
Gaggy pulls a knife on Harley and is about to cut her up, but she talks her way into some more time and gets dragged into another room. After listening to Gaggy tell the story of him and Joker, and getting strapped to a rocket, Ivy, Catwoman, and Jenna Duffy arrive to save her. It is then that Harley breaks free, punches Gaggy in the face, straps him to the rocket, and blast him into the sky. On the ride back to the hideout, Harley again vows that she is over Joker, but quickly starts talking about how he could change, until she is silenced by Ivy yet again.
Harley and the other Sirens always seem to find trouble no matter how hard they try to stay strait. They have a run-in with Doctor Aesop who tries to take over their hang out. Then they investigate a missing dog case only to find out Harley's Hyenas were eating the dogs. It is at this point Harley is forced to donate them to the zoo. and then almost gets cut up by Catwoman's sister, Maggie Kyle. Harley is even possessed in the process. Then Harley and Catwoman are nearly killed by Ivy when her body is being used by a plant alien known as the Alstairean.
Soon after the Sirens get a visit from Zatanna and Talia al Ghul. After separated the Sirens it is soon revealed that Talia has tricked Zatanna into trying to erase Selina's memory of Bruce/Batman completely, because Talia wants Bruce all to herself. Ivy and Harley soon rescue Selina. After Harley and Catwoman return home the two of them reflect on their own love life. Harley suddenly leaves and goes to an abandoned Joker HQ. Ivy and Catwoman follow, just to end up getting themselves knocked unconscious by sleeping gas, by Harley-who says as she walks away "This time, I'm going to kill The Joker".
Harley then breaks into Arkham Asylum on her journey to kill Joker. She takes out a few guards and quickly releases Clayface to break other prisoners out to cause a distraction. She then informs guard, Aaron Cash, that Joker is the one that killed his first born son. He then allows her to enter the area where Joker is being held. Once Harley sets her eyes upon Joker her mind fills with all the bad memories of him, but then the good memories flood her mind and she is instantly in love with him again, as she gives him a huge hug. During the riot Joker gets into a fight with one of the other criminals, just to be interrupted by Poison Ivy showing up to save Harley, and tells Harley to choose, once and for all, between her or the Joker. Harley makes her choice by asking Ivy what it was that she got out of their friendship, why she would risk so much. She then leans in to whisper in Ivy's ear, whispering "Is it because you love me?", to elicit the stunned reaction she had wanted. She then seizes the opportunity and attacks Ivy, knocking her unconscious.
Her attempt to flee Arkham with the Joker fails, and she, along with Ivy, are sent back to imprisonment. Ivy escapes, with plans to kill Catwoman, but breaks into Harley's cell, in an attempt to kill her. But just as she enters the room, she sees delusional drawings of the Joker all over the walls and floor, and Ivy realizes that Harley is only suffering from a relapse, and the realization that Harley is the only person she ever saw as a true friend, and that without Ivy, Harley could never grow. She decides that she can't kill her, or leave her behind, and asks Harley to escape with her. Harley accepts.
Post-Flashpoint: Earth-0/ The New 52
Suicide Squad
A heartbroken Harley sets on a quest to prove herself to the Joker, who has at that time gone missing. Her plan was short-lived with the imprisonment at high-security Belle Reeve and consequent recruitment into Task Force X, otherwise referred to as Suicide Squad. Forced to undergo literally suicidal missions with her chosen teammates, Harley is portrayed in a more violent, relentless way than usual, having little to no human remorse and appearing to be a gleeful and dangerous homicidal maniac. It has also been noted that her skin color is unnaturally white, close to the Joker's, and indeed described by her as a "skin condition". It is later seen that as a part of her transformation into Harley Quinn, the Joker pushed her into the same vat of chemicals that gave him his eerie appearance.
Harley is heavily underestimated by most members of her team and the Task Force X in general, which has, in fact, played up to her advantage. After learning the harsh news of Joker's disappearance and presumed death, she stirred a prison riot and escaped behind all the chaos, going back to Gotham to find the love of her life or any clues to his whereabouts, notably, his disembodied face (removed by the Dollmaker). The Squad is sent after her with the mission to bring the maniac back, dead or alive, not knowing what the sly harlequin could have in store for them.
Running with the devil
The Joker is back and asks Harley to help trap Batman. Harley does help the Joker with this task, glad that he is back. But she soon realize that while he was gone both the Joker and Harley herself has changed, to much for them to be together. Harley has gained a more independent personality from the influence of the Suicide Squad while Joker is much more viscous and different than she remembered him to be.
Harley and the Joker have a brutal standoff and Harley announces that she breaks up with the Joker. The Joker is disappointed with Harley's new attitude and manages to poison her, later trapping her in a prison cell full of remains of past "Harley Quinns", revealing she was not the first and only one in a long line. Harley manages to escape and flees.
Harley Quinn Valentine's Day
In Harley Quinn Valentine's Day Special #1. She goes on a date with Mr. Tall, Dark, and Brooding. Yes, you guessed it, it's Batman! How will Bruce make the night without revealing his identity to Harley Quinn?
Powers and Abilities
Harley didn't start out with any actual powers. However, after a failed attempt by the Joker to blow her up in a rocket she was given a "potion" by her friend Poison Ivy. This enhanced her strength, speed, and agility, gave her an immunity to toxins, and a small healing factor (though this seems to vary -- later in her solo series she was shown to be able to heal from gunshot wounds in a matter of seconds as soon as the bullet was removed). She is also an impressive fighter, often using acrobatics that she had trained in as a young woman. She uses many odd and unique weapons and gadgets, such as her traditional mallet, or a large pistol with a large cork in it. Both of these she uses to surprising efficiency and they end up being more useful than they would seem on the outside.
Poison Ivy gave Harley a strange brew that increases her strength and speed. She doesn't have powers far beyond those of mortal man but she really has more physical strength than any Olympic athlete. She is able to put any man to the floor in only two punches or one kick. Her legs seem really powerful, she manages to jump very high without effort -- this, coupled with her prodigious gymnastic skills, makes her an incredibly acrobatic and "bouncy" threat in combat, adding to her momentum with pendulous weapons such as her hammer.
Disguise for a heist
Additionally, Harley is a master of disguise and often employs elaborate disguises as part of her crimes. On various occasions she has disguised herself as a member of a rocker's entourage, a secretary, a film executive, a police officer, an opera singer, a flight attendant and a prison guard, often mugging or tying up the victims she replaced. More significantly, Harley posed as a romance columnist named Dr. Holly Chance for an extended period, and later took on the identity of Dr. Jessica Seaborn when she decided to become a therapist once again.

Origin
Originally the antagonist of the Evil Ernie comics, Lady Death is the impetus that sent Ernie on his quest to achieve Megadeath--that is, to kill every human being on Earth. Initially, Lady Death appeared to be nothing more than a figment of Ernie's imagination, but as his story continued on, it became clear she was more than that. In reality, Lady Death is the sovereign ruler of Hell. She seeks an avatar to carry out her will in the mortal realm and selects Ernie for the task of spreading death and destruction.
Before becoming Hell's queen, Lady Death was an ordinary young woman named Hope in medieval Europe. Her father, Matthias, was a demon-worshipping warlord and practitioner of witchcraft, whose crimes against his people caused them to turn against his daughter. She was falsely accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake, but before the flames consumed her, she recited an incantation she overheard her father use, calling forth a demon. She brokered a deal with it to enter hell in exchange for her willing renouncement of her humanity.
Once Hope is banished to hell, she sets about gaining the means to kill her demonic father. Lucifer grants her powers, crafts a sword for her and clothes her in her the demonic raiment that becomes her most iconic costume. During her time in hell, Hope's humanity slowly drains away, leaving her taller, stronger, more buxom with pearl white eyes, deathly pale skin and hair.
Comfortable in her inhumanity, Lady Death turns on Lucifer, intent on overthrowing his kingdom. She defeats him in single combat and takes his throne. However, her victory comes at a price: Lucifer lays a curse on her. Lady Death may never return to the mortal plane so long as the living walk the Earth. Thus, her reason for employing Evil Ernie as her agent of destruction becomes clear: without him to do her dirty work, she can never return home.
With Lucifer cast out, Lady Death re-models Hell in the image of the Endless Graveyard, a place for all the souls she will reap in her bloodthirsty question to return to Earth.
Creation
Lady Death is undoubtedly the child of Brian Pulido: the head of Chaos! Comics and principal writer for the company he founded to develop and explore his characters. Visually, Lady Death was given her form by the talented and sorely missed Steven Hughes, Pulido's long time collaborator, who designed and drew so many of Chaos! Comics now iconic characters.
Character Evolution
Chaos Comics
Chaos! Comics
Lady Death had her beginning in the black and white pages of Evil Ernie's first series published by Eternity Comics. Her initial designs by Steven Hughes became the template for her look for the vast majority of her time with Chaos Comics. It was only towards the end of Chaos Comics that Pulido branched out into different areas with one-shot re-imaginings of his characters that she was given a makeover and also with the sad passing of Steven Hughes other artists stepped in and took her look in different directions.
The DVD film "Lady Death The Movie" also suffered from the end of Chaos as it was in production over the time of the split and necessitated the removal of major characters from the back-story as they were sold off to various publishers.
CrossGen Entertainment
CrossGen
Her story has spread from her medieval beginnings to ruler of Hell, savior of the universe, avatar of death and even back to life. With the collapse of Chaos Comics the properties were sold and Pulido went with Lady Death firstly to CrossGen Entertainment where they pursued a new medieval origin story that was necessitated by the splitting of the tightly interwoven characters of Chaos Comics being sold to different publishers and so no longer practical to weave into her story. The slight change in artwork style was not well received and some felt a reduction in quality as well as more grounded storylines less grand and epic in scale.
This was not hugely popular, as one of Chaos Comics most popular aspects as a company was its strong cast of supporting characters. A supporting character in one characters arc would have its own primary comics and story arcs that interwove elegantly with many others. Of course as a marketing strategy it was brilliant as to get the complete picture of one character you really needed to follow the others but you were also rewarded with insight into motivations that enrich, rather than retcon, every other storyline.
Avatar Press / Boundless Comics
Avatar / Boundless Comics
A mere two years later CrossGen filed for bankruptcy and she was sold on to Avatar Press (and had enjoyed a resurgence). The Avatar/Boundless run was meant to be the return of the original Lady Death in style and attitude, though Pulido wanted to pull back from the more cosmic style of storytelling in the original Chaos comics stories. While she would enjoy a similar style and background to her original rendition, these tales would mainly take place in a dimension similar to Hell called the Blacklands. Pulido was providing "scriptments" for the stories, and another writer would flesh out the scripts.
Parallel with this they were also maintaining a Medieval Lady Death series that roughly continued the CrossGen Medieval Lady Death, with a few minor retcons between the end of her Crossgen run and the beginning of this new run. The artwork with Avatar seems to meet with the approval of the the original fans more and the stories grander scales and return to bigger cross-series arcs also proved popular.
Due to issues with Boundless trying to eventually cut Pulido out of the process in working on Lady Death, and after various lawsuits by Pulido, the Avatar/Boundless version of Lady Death ended with the "Lady Death Apocalypse" series.
Coffin Comics
Coffin Comics
The character rights were finally given back to Pulido, and the tales and adventures of Lady Death are now being continued with Pulido's new company, Coffin Comics. There was a Kickstarter campaign created, which resulted in the recently released Lady Death Chaos Rules, which sees the return of Lady Death descending back into the depths of Hell itself. While at this point the truth of her background remains a bit of a mystery, we find Lady Death being awakened with altered memories of her past.
The new story sees the return of a few familiar faces from her original Chaos comics run, and of course a brand new sword, Chaos. There is a follow up that is currently in the works, Lady Death Damnation Game.

The Reckoning
A Girl Named Hope
Lady Death was born in medieval Europe, the daughter of nobleman Matthias and his wife Marion, a woman of viking heritage. Ten years after her mother's death Hope lives with her father and on a night witnesses him feeding subjects souls to demons. Months later Matthias is recruiting men for his many seemingly arbitrary campaigns and against her wishes, Hope's friend Niccolo is conscripted.
In spring Matthias returns from battle and as always all the new recruits are dead, Niccolo among them. Rats follow the retuning army home and bring plague to their town. On hearing that Agnes, the castle maid, is infected Hope goes to her. Remembering Niccolo's words, she lances the swellings and saves Agnes' life.
This is against the Christian teachings of the time and the already dissatisfied villagers start whispering of witchcraft. This is the last straw, along with the plague, their lord's battles and their dead sons. A mob is whipped up by the local priest, they find Matthias consorting with demons and he is killed. He thanks them for this and goes to hell to be lord to the army of souls from his village, that he led to slaughter on Earth. Hope is found guilty of witchcraft and sentenced to burning at the stake. In desperation she recalls the incantation her father used to summon the demons and chants it on the pyre as the flame rose. The demons answer the call and offer her passage to hell for a renouncement of her humanity. With no choice she accepts and falls to Hell.
In Hell her father casts her into the pit as a soul to add to his army but she mysteriously doesn't perish. Lucifer saves her and offers Hope some of his power to oppose Matthias. In her rage she accepts but feels little different. She is attacked by two large wolves, her new power helps her defeat them. They accept her as an Alpha and become her first followers. She dubs them the Nameless Wolves. Walking through Hell she is attacked by Cremator, the blacksmith to the arch-dukes of hell, who also becomes impressed by her power and joins her cause. His first act for her is to forge her a sword and train her, so she can kill her father. He presents her with her new sword Darkness and the garb Lucifer had made for a creature named Purgatori. In her time in hell she has been slowly growing taller, stronger and her hair, skin and eyes becoming white. With the new outfit and sword in hand her change is complete, and she renames herself, Lady Death.
Following Matthias' defeat of Lucifer in battle, Lady Death learns that her father did not truly defeat Lucifer but is possessed by him. She confronts Lucifer and defeats him in single combat. The battle is fierce but Lady Death wins and absorbs his soul. In one last act Lucifer curses her to never return to Earth while the living walk the surface. She uses her new found power to dismantle Lucifer's hell and reform it into the Endless Graveyard, one grave for every soul on earth that has to die so she might return.
Knowing her mother's spirit is in Hell, Lady Death sets out to find her. During the quest, she and Cremator are possessed by a demon and, driven to madness, they decide to split up and purify themselves separately. Lady Death completes her journey, but Cremator is lost and Lady Death is no nearer to her goal of finding her mother's spirit. Eventually Lady Death finds a cathedral in her graveyard that she did not create and finds Niccolo inside. Twisted by hell, he has Marion's spirit trapped within the Nexus to give it balance. Lady Death destroys her former friend and releases her mother's spirit to Heaven's gates.
All Hallow's Evil
Marion's Soul in Hell
One Halloween in the Nexus she finds the demon that brought her to Hell and witnesses how the villagers who condemned her are preparing a ceremony. The demon says that he can only transport her spirit for few moments to earth, but this is all she needs.
She pretends to be a goddess who can help the villagers grow crops, but requires a sacrifice. She names the priest who branded Hope a witch and they sacrifice the priest to her. The villagers plant their seeds and the next morning the villagers are surprised to see full grown crops. However, Lady Death cursed the seeds and pumpkins rise out of the ground and slaughter the villagers.
Dragon Wars
Dragon Wars takes place five years after her descent into Hell. Lady Death uses the same demon again to travel through the Nexus and, suspecting he had more power than he showed, she thinks it might lead her back to Earth. She ends up in the Dragon Realm and is attacked by the red dragon clan but, with her powers waning, she was no match for them. The clan's leader recruits her to his campaign to battle the green dragons and their demon leader. She is rewarded with armor made by the dragons she slew. During the battle she realizes that the red leader and the demon have planned to lure her to participate in the war. She helps the green dragons win. Forcing the demon to take her home, she is returned to her Endless Graveyard. Furious, she kills the demon.
During an uprising in Hell Lady Death is again pulled to Nexus, the Black-Rift where the rulers tried to make her a slave. The rulers there promised to send her back to Earth if she will assist them to win a war but she becomes suspicious. Accompanied by a brave warrior, she discovers the overseers recruit random people through Nexus and let them do battle for their amusement. Lady Death sets a trap and confronts them but them being powerful creatures they simply send Lady Death back to Endless Graveyard. However, before she made it through the Nexus she saw her trap sprung and the Black-Rift was destroyed in a massive explosion.
Between Heaven and Hell
Lady Demon Emerges from Lady Death's Despair
400 hundred years after her fall she was no closer to returning to Earth than before. To make her dream real she searched for suitable humans who would be willing to kill and found one who showed potential, Ernest Fairchild. She visited him by use of the dream-probe and, once resurrected, she could travel briefly to earth through the corpses of his victims as they expired. For many years the renamed Evil Ernie killed for her but Lady Death started to lose control of her realm and suffered tormented dreams. The psychic link between Evil Ernie and Lady Death was severed and her memories were twisted by Purgatori, who had returned from Necropolis where Lucifer had banished her.
Purgatori used Lady Death's mother's image in an attempt to drink her blood but went too far. Lady Death saw through her deception and struck her down only for her to escape. Purgatori, now intimate with Lady Death's memories, sought the lost Cremator and dug him out of an obscure region of the Endless Graveyard. Possessing him, she ordered him to forge her a sword too and to attack his former mistress. Lady Death overcame him and restored his memory. He aided her as she faced Purgatori in single combat. Purgatori revealed her plan to release her loved Lucifer's soul and drink his blood. To everyone's surprise Purgatori found not a trace of Lucifer inside Lady Death. In the River Styx Lady Death forced Purgatori to speak the truth: she revealed she captured Marion's soul a fraction before she was able to pass through Heaven's gate. She used it, as Niccolo had, to anchor the Nexus as a bridge between one plane and another. As Lady Death prepared to destroy Purgatori, Lucifer appeared before them and forced Lady Death to submit to him.
A broken Lady Death, having lived a lie for 400 years, is consumed by her inner darkness and emerges as a new being, the Lady Demon. As Lady Demon she fought Purgatori for Lucifer's amusement and give herself to him as his concubine. Purgatori's punishment for defeat was banishment back to earth to feed on disgustingly powerless humans. Following her Nameless Wolves, Lady Death finds her mother's soul again, and Marion swayed what remains of her daughter to turn from Lucifer. Marion infused her soul with Lady Death's. The angelic energy, that is Marion's heritage as a decadent of vikings, battled with her darkness and almost destroyed her, but restored her faith and identity. Lady Death returned to Lucifer in demon form and seduced him before changing back into her classic look and channeled the angelic energy directly into his heart. Lucifer survived but is weakened and she flees on Vassago in panic. But at the last moment, as she considers fleeing through the Nexus, concocted a plan and threw Lucifer though the Nexus to Heaven's gates. As an unworthy being he was instantly destroyed and Lady Death became the new ruler of hell.
Chaos Quarterly
The demon jester of hell, Pagan, knew a prophecy that a descendant of Heaven and Hell will bring a judgment era in Hell. He planned to get rid of Lady Death by goading one of the Hell lords, Hydra, to drag Lady Death through the Nexus to oblivion. The plan worked and Lady Death was trapped in the void between worlds, unable to return to Earth or to Hell.
Straight to Hell
It was then she was pulled to earth by machine built by Mary Young. Her stay was brief but she got to connect with Evil Ernie for the first time in an age and finally managed to be with him long enough to make love to him. She knows he is getting near to completing his assigned task of Megadeath. Her coming to earth released a wave of arcane energy that became known as the Pandora Effect that tore around the earth resurrecting those that died at the moment the energy passed, creating numerous monstrosities and several beings that would play immense roles in the near future in the end of the universe. Not wanting to destroy earth she re-exiles herself in the void at her own request.
The Odyssey
In the void Vandala anonymously sends a weakened Lady Death on a series of quests. First is Manicore where a fallen angel called Agony had taken over the world, and its source of power to prevent her grave injuries from killing her, and covered the world with ice. In hell, Asteroth arises as Lucifer's avatar of revenge, and tracks Lady Death through the Nexus to avenge his masters death. Pandemonium showed Lady Death the location of Agony, where she fights and defeats her. Vandala sends Lady Death to her next trial in the realm of Telemach where she is immediately trapped by slave traders and sold at the market. With her powers so weak she is unable to maintain her image and her classic clothing is in tatters.
She is purchased by the conjoined fallen angels Macabre and Malady who wish to use her voluptuous form in a sculpture they are creating. Lady Death defies them with a weak blast of her angelic energy that slowly breaks down their illusion of angelic forms. Their plans are ruined as the forms melt and Macabre's delicate hands become their, demon clawed, true forms also releasing Lady Death. But not before they start the sculpture by giving her her new uniform a metal, bone inspired warrior bikini. The souls of those trapped in the sculpture reek havoc on the land and they kill Macabre but Malady escapes.
With Lady Death still failing to show any marked improvement in her outlook, and indeed openly defying her tormentor to teach her lessons in compassion, Vandala sends her to the Cremation Grounds, the realm of Hindu Gods, where Kali recognizes the coming of death. Kali learns the location of Lady Death and attacks her personally, determined to avoid her realms Armageddon. The battle is ended by Kali's fellow gods and is washed away into the Abyss.
Hope adopted by royal family
Done with the lessons Lady Death rejects her warrior ways completely and the paths chosen for her. Vandala wants to explain in person the reason of this odyssey but is intercepted by Asteroth during the transportation and Lady Death falls through the nexus to a random realm. She is delighted to find a world not unlike her home when she was alive and she is adopted by a king and queen where she defends the castle with her rebuilt powers.
She had found peace at last on an earth like world and retaken the name Hope. After many happy months Asteroth locates her and destroys the city, killing everyone, while she was away swimming in a lake. The loss of her loved ones again reignites the warrior in her and she ferociously battles Asteroth only to find him immensely powerful. She leads him to the lake and bathes him all her angelic power while surrounded by water and destroys his living form. Lady Death meets Vandala and finally accepts her position as the herald of the Judgement War (a war she created by killing Lucifer) and agrees to face her destiny as she travels to Asgard.

Lady Death and the Valkyries are captured and brought to Wrathworld and placed into the base of Genocide's Hammers, the constructs he built to end the universe. During their confrontation Lady Death is impaled on a spike and the power of her Valkyrie sisters is used to power the machine which is pointed at the Nexus in order to simultaneously destroy all the realms and end the universe.

With the chain reaction setting the universe burning Lady Death recovers her new sword Nightmare, forged by Asgardian Brock from the shattered hilt of Darkness. Vandala gets her Valkyrie's home while Vulnavia and Lady Death finish off Genocide. They escape just as the nova hits Wrathworld.

Two Years later Lady Death Wargoth lets Lady Death to lead an army against Sagos' forces. Most of them are defeated before Lady Death starts to think strategically. Then Lady Death, Satasha and Wargoth combine their forces and kill enemies by hordes. Now closer to finding her mother, Wargoth still teaches her with hard lessons.
On their way to Sagos' place they are attacked by Kavari, Lady Death was captured by them and she of course struggled, she managed to free herself only when she stopped resisting, and their power waned. In the house they saw Mary, but Sagos was waiting for them, and sprung the trap. Lady Death lied under the rubble. She was found by wolves who dragged her out, but only to be eaten by them. Lady Death fought the wolves back, and they recognized her as their master. Wargoth ordered the team to move on. Moving through the fields of nephilim they are confronted by Thrallkor. Wargoth again teaches how Lady Death should act; the beast wields an amazing power and it would be foolish to attack, but if one shows humility in its presence, they walk by them.
Arriving to the city, Wargoth has a plan to get Lady Death a weapon that wouldn't melt in her hands. Wargoth pretended to be slave tradesman; Lady Death and Satasha played the slaves. Lady Death and Satasha are sold to the king, who ordered them to be ready for night. When the night came and the king tried to force himself on them, they killed him. Then Lady Death located the sword she needed, but Satasha disappears and Lady Death thought she was played. Though his head cut off, the king was not dead; Lady Death again slaughtered the king and his men. Then Wargoth and Satasha revealed themselves, they also revealed that this was yet another test, even the king who was alive yet again was in on it. Lady Death now had a sword forged specially for her.
With Wargoth leadership they take off in the direction of Fanghorn River. Its water were said to grant knowledge to those who survive, thus far only handful of people has. Lady Death enters the river and becomes one with the Blacklands; she learns where Sagos strikes next; she teleports herself and her allies there. Joining the fight against the undead army, Lady Death displays her new found powers and repelled them. She also lost her knowledge found from the river.
Alliance
Her quest was interrupted one night when she and Satasha were teleported into another world by Pandora and Gatekeeper. They sought help to get back Pandora's Box, which had been stolen from her. After a brief introduction two more arrived; Unholy and War Angel. Those two had a history, and a fight broke out. Pandora managed to convince them all to stop fighting, and they moved on with the plan. Satasha and Unholy combined their powers to locate the chest. Learning it had been opened in Jerusalem, they go to battle demon unleashed there.
In the battle Lady Death and her allies are taken over by Seven Deadly Sins. Lord Sinner then sent them to retrieve relics hidden around the world. Gatekeeper managed to free them from sins' influence and they combined their forces to force Lord Sinner back into Pandora's Box. War Angel however didn't want to relinquish the artifact she brought to Lord Sinner Lady Death then cut her hand with her magic sword, and War Angel's hand turned into flaming bones. War Angel dropped the book and lounged for an attack. Pandora teleported her away and warned Lady Death that War Angel will stop at nothing to get her revenge. They hide the artifacts again and Lady Death is sent back to Blacklands. It didn't take long for War Angel to find Lady Death; Pandora tried to stop her again, but she was interrupted.
War Angel and Lady Death battle for a long time, but all they mange is a draw. Pandora had recovered and again teleported War Angel away. Just then Pandora was possessed by a demon and she attacked Lady Death herself. During the battle, possessed Pandora teleported them underwater, hoping it would kill Lady Death. Lady Death however discovered that she does not need to breath. Having discovered that the demon had escaped from Pandora's Box, she forced it out of Pandora's body. Her sword was enough to vanquish the demon in its real form, and the battle was over. Pandora asked her help in capturing the demons who still were free, but Lady Death refused and ordered Pandora to teleport her back to Blacklands again.
Stigmata
Lady Death learned of an artifact under Catacombia. Satasha entered the cavern, while Lady Death guarded it from the attacking hordes. Lady Death witnessed the explosion, and thought Satasha to be lost. Satasha was fine, her magic had protected her. They then discovered that the blood in the men attacking them was alive; Lady Death struck them all down. The villagers however didn't saw it as that; they thought they were there to kill the villagers. Wargoth then asked the chance to prove them that there is enemy amongst the villagers. Capturing one of them and with a little persuasion Stigmatashowed herself. Threatening to return she took her leave. Wargoth started to suspect that they are only chasing Sagos' diversions. Lady Death proposed to learn what his true plan was. Trying to strike an alliance with free cities backfired, old hatred can't be forgotten easily. Just then Stigmata returned and the city was overrun with mere moments.
Surviving the attack, the leaders of free cities agreed to an alliance. Leaving the destroyed city behind the villagers left under Wargoth leadership. Making camp for the night Satasha fell ill, she had used a addictive potion to enhance her powers. Wargoth sent Lady Death to fetch the potion Satasha left at the city. Lady Death took a horse and her two wolfs and rode towards Catacombia. There she was discovered by Sagos' forces; she fought her way in and back out again. Returned to the camp, she found it empty, immediately she was surrounded by bee-men. Thinking them to be responsible, she attacked them, but overcome with numbers she succumbed.
Coming around Lady Death was reunited with Wargoth, and she was taken to see the queen. Queen has received a message that Thrallkors attack Satasha's home city. Lady Death convinced queen to lend some forces to aid the city. They were too late however; the city had been leaved by the time they got there. Within the ruins Lady Death again met Sagos and her mother. Tired of chasing shadows she attacked. Sagos blasted Lady Death with amazing force and she fell.
Shi & Lady Death
It is unknown how she did survive the confrontation with Sagos and what exactly happened afterward. She had split up from Wargoth and traveled only with Satasha and helped those less fortunate while still searching whereabouts of her mother. One of those incidents was when she was summoned to earth realm, by a Japanese warlord. Lady Death was asked to kill Shi and the reward would be reunion with her mother; Lady Death accepted the offer. Lady Death and Shi fought long and hard, but when the villagers intervened and said to protect Shi with their own lives, Lady Death remembered her mother. Shi managed to convince Lady Death in helping bring down the warlord. They fought countless ninjas on their way to him. They succeed in bringing down the warlord, and Lady Death is sent back to Blacklands.
Another chronicled event was the growing tower, where a woman by the name of Nocturne lived. The tower would consume most of the Labyrinth in a year; Lady Death and Satasha entered it to stop her. They discovered that Nocturne fears of her sister Sacrilege's return and only sought to hide from her. Sacrilege indeed came for her and used her powers to turn Nocturne on her side. Lady Death developed a plan, she let Satasha cast an illusion of their mother's image and used it to get close to them, she them plunger her sword through both of them, ending the threat they both posed.

Origin
Princess Koriand'r of Tamaran was the second of three children. Her older sister, Komand'r was the first in the line of succession, but she was crippled by a childhood illness that robbed her of her natural Tamaranian ability to convert ultraviolet light into flight energy. Therefore, she was deemed unworthy to be queen and the succession fell to Koriand'r. When both sisters were sent to train with the legendary Warlords of Okaara, the bitter Komand'r ran off, allying herself with the Citadel. They used Komand'r's information to successfully invade Tamaran, and King Myand'r turned Koriand'r over to the Citadel to ensure peace.
Koriand'r endured six years of torture and sexual abuse until she and Komand'r were both released to the Psionsfor experimentation. Largely sadistic scientists, the Psions performed a deadly experiment on both sisters to see just how much energy their Tamaranian bodies could absorb before exploding from the overload. During the procedure, forces loyal to Komand'r attacked the Psion ship to rescue her, and while the Psions were distracted, Koriand'r broke free using her new ability of starbolts (destructive blasts of solar energy) acquired through the experimentation. Against her better judgment, she decided to free Komand'r who was still absorbing energy. However, far from grateful, Komand'r struck her sister down with the same - but much stronger - starbolt power and had her restrained for later execution. Koriand'r escaped and eventually found her way to Earth, where she gained the help of the Teen Titans. She chose to remain with the team and took the name Starfire, and quickly formed a romantic relationship with Dick Grayson, then - as Robin - the leader of the team.
She has been married twice, both times to Tamaranian men: once to Prince Karras to seal a peace treaty, and once to General Ph'yzzon for love. Both of her husbands died in battle. She even dated and fell in love with a human man named Franklin Crandall, who turned out to be a freelance spy working for H.I.V.E. and was eventually killed . She almost married Dick Grayson, but their wedding was interrupted by Raven, who had followed in the footsteps of her father, the demon Trigon. Raven murdered the priest before he pronounced Dick and Kory husband and wife. The relationship was already on unsteady ground, with Kory fearing that Dick was rushing into marriage and also being concerned by the anti-alien sentiments that sprang up in response to the news of the impending nuptials. She had casual relations with Captain Comet, who clearly felt more for her than she did for him.
Starfire has served as mentor/teacher to the latest roster of Teen Titans, and also began serving with the Outsiders.
Starfire was stranded on a paradise-like planet with fellow heroes Animal Man and Adam Strange after the battle with Alexander Luthor, Jr. and Superboy-Prime. After several weeks, Adam was able to get his spaceship working, and they departed for Earth. Their ship, however, was attacked by Devilance, who they had encountered on the planet and who had pursued them into space. Lobo appeared just in time to destroy Devilance and, after some negotiation, agreed to help them out.
When it was believed that Animal Man had perished in battle against Lady Styx, Starfire took it upon herself to bring his jacket back to his surviving family on Earth. Upon reaching Earth, however, she quickly discovered that Animal Man was still alive.
Titans Together
After the apparent defeat of Lady Styx, Starfire once again returned to Animal Man's home, where she recovered from her recent adventures and regained control of her returned powers. One afternoon while sunbathing, she and Animal Man's son were attacked by a water demon in Buddy's swimming pool. Meanwhile, her old Titan teammates had also been attacked by assorted demonic entities. This led to Starfire, Nightwing, Troia, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Raven, Flash, and Red Arrow to reassemble as a team. They then realized that the attacks were the result of a resurrected Trigon and his newly discovered three sons. While investigating, the Titans began to experience unexplained mood-shifts. For Starfire and Nightwing, they were overwhelmed by lust and ended up having abrupt sex in the middle of their investigation.
Soon after, the team met up in New York's Central Park, where they attempted to recover from these mood-shifts and came to the realization that each shift coincided with one of the seven deadly sins. The team was then approached by the Sons of Trigon. They battled the villainous prodigy, and drove them away. Starfire and Nightwing then had a discussion about their actions while under the influence of Trigon's sons. While Nightwing shows hints at wanting to renew their relationship, Starfire questions his commitment to the relationship and goes so far as to ask Nightwing whether or not he truly still loves her. Nightwing, to his own surprise and reluctance, admits he does not. This leads to them, at least for now, leaving their reunion in doubt. Since then, it has been clearly stated that Dick has moved on; though Kory stays true to her Tamaranian culture and still loves him.
Most recently, she has been captured and turned into a Justifier, as seen in Final Crisis: Resist. She has since been freed. Although the loss of control she gathered from the Justifier helmet distressed her severely, causing her to lash out at anyone remotely looking like they are wearing one of the helmets. She was more than happy to destroy a warehouse full of them when Mister Terrific offered her and Cyborg the chance. After a stint with a psychiatrist (instead of talking to Donna, which troubled her to no end), and a subsequent denial of joining the Justice League, she is left none the healthier.
Blackest Night
Most recently during Hero's Day, a time when the heroes of the DC universe join together in remembrance of dead comrades, Starfire and the Titans were attacked by Black Lantern versions of their fallen teammates. During the battle, Starfire and Cyborg were subjected to a psychic attack by the Black Lantern Omen which put them both in a euphoric state as they experienced their greatest desires. For Starfire, her greatest desire came in the form of her marrying Dick Grayson (indicating that she is still deeply in love with him). Luckily both she and Cyborg were rescued by Beast Boy and, with their attackers eventually defeated by Dove, Starfire and the Titans prepared to face the Black Lanterns head on.
Justice League
Kory was recently invited to join Kimiyo Hoshi's new Justice League by Donna Troy. She joined the team briefly and left soon after. But not before leaving a note to Dick explaining why she had left. She then joined the R.E.B.E.L.S. and returned to where Tamaran used to be, to find that it had mysteriously returned.
Convergence
This section of the history takes place during Convergence, a massive crossover event revisiting characters from past eras and realities. The villains Brainiac and Telos plucked them from their own timeline and stored them together, causing them to cross over into each others' reality. Its precise chronological placement and canonicity may be unclear.
Incomplete

Two versions of Starfire are taken to Convergence, the Pre-crisis version and the New Earth version. Pre-crisis Gotham and Pre-Flashpoint Gotham are taken Brainiac and Telos and the lose their powers for a year.
Before the dome goes down, Pre-crisis Starfire marries Nightwing and attempts to stop a robbery. After the dome goes down, she stops the robbers and later fights the Earth-9 Doom Patrol. She and the Titans later ally with the Doom Patrol.
Meanwhile, before the dome went down, New Earth Starfire is seen talking to her Nightwing about a secret, which was later revealed to be him proposing to Barbara. After the dome goes down, she, Donna and Roy fight the Extremists.She and the Titans later fight the Extremists again and they are saved by the Earth-2 Justice League.
What happened to both Starfires after New Earth Superman, Earth One Supergirl, Paralax Hal Jordan and Pre-Crisis Barry Allen prevent the First-Crisis is unknown.
Powers- Tamaranean Physiology: Starfire's powers are largely derived from her alien physiology; her body constantly absorbs ultraviolet radiation and converts it to energy, which can be used for a variety of purposes.
- Energy Absorption: She can also absorb the myriad radiation types from other lifeforms.Her species being powered by the Ultraviolet radiology given by stars and suns. She once used this application of her power to weaken a group of Kryptonians who otherwise required solar radiation to maintain their superhuman abilities.[9]
- Enhanced Vision: Due to her alien physiology, Kory has a better eyesight than the human race.[10]
- Flight: Starfire possesses a flight capability which leaves a distinctive energy contrail behind, looking as if it is coming directly from her hair.
- Interstellar Travel: Starfire has also been stated to have flown light years through space in short amounts of time.[11][12][13]
- Starbolts: The solar absorption experiments performed on her by the alien Psions granted her the amazing power to channel and project that same energy into destructive blasts called "starbolts". Hyperion described Starbolts as highly concentrated solar energy that possessed incredible power. Starfire also has the power and ability to unleash all her stored energy into a pseudo-nova blast. It is believed to be as hot as the sun itself, and so only used in dire situations.[14][15]
- Superhuman Durability
- Superhuman Strength[16]
- Linguistic Assimilation: She is also capable of assimilating other languages through physical contact with another person. She learned English by kissing Dick Grayson.[17]
Abilities- Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced): Starfire is also extremely proficient in armed and unarmed combat, having been trained in those arts by the Warlords of Okaara.

Human; Russian Super-Soldier, expertly trained intelligence agent
Place of Birth:Stalingrad, USSR
Early Years:
It was rumored that Natasha Romanova (Russian: Наталья Романова, Наташа Романова, Наталья Романова-Шостакова) was somehow related to the last ruling czars of Russia, but this was never proven.
There are varying accounts of Romanova's early life. One account states that in 1928, Nazis set the building in Stalingrad that Natasha and her mother were living in on fire. Her mother threw her out the window to a Russian soldier before dying in the fire. The soldier's name was Ivan Petrovitch, and he watched over Natasha for her entire life, remaining by her side as her "foster father".
While under Ivan's protection, many adversaries attempted to attack her. Baron von Stucker abducted Natasha and presented her to the Hand in Madripoor. There, she was to become their Master Assassin until Captain America, Logan, and Ivan saved her. As Natasha grew and matured, she proved to be an amazing athlete and scholar, while gaining distinction in the USSR as a ballerina.
Red Room:
Another account establishes her as being raised from very early childhood by the U.S.S.R.'s "Black Widow Ops" Program, rather than solely by Ivan Petrovitch. Petrovitch had taken her to Department X, with other 28 young female orphans, where she is trained in combat and espionage at the covert "Red Room" facility. There, she is bio-technologically and psycho-technologically enhanced; an accounting that provides a rationale for her unusually long and youthful lifespan. She never really trained in ballet in the Bolshoi Theatre, having instead artificial memories. During her training, Romanova was contacted by the Enchantress, who manipulated her simply for the sake of it suggesting that Romanova may be freed only to prevent her from escaping - however, Romanova's effort attracted attention of the program's organizers, who would had otherwise "discard" Romanova.
Regardless of which account is accurate, she was eventually arranged to marry Alexi Shostakov, a distinguished Soviet test pilot.
KGB:
The Soviet government intelligence (KGB) decided that the skill set of this couple would make them superb special operatives, and split them up while Alexi was away on a mission. Trained as the Red Guardian, Alexi became the Soviet Union's answer to the United States' Captain America.
Natasha was told that her husband died in an experimental rocket crash, and was drafted into the KGB. She became their best operative from being trained in the infamous Red Room Academy, becoming excellent at fighting and information gathering. During this time she had some training under the Winter Soldier. It was there she was first dubbed the "Black Widow."
The man named Logan resurfaced in America years later without any memory of his past, and in danger from Hydra assassins. She saved him and came upon him again when he stole the Red Storm Project from Russia alongside Carol Danvers and Ben Grimm.
Early clashes with Iron Man:
Black Widow was assigned to assist Boris Turgenov in the assassination of Professor Anton Vanko for defecting from their country by infiltrating Stark Industries in America. Tony Stark, the original Iron Man, continually foiled her schemes against Stark Industries. Romanova later met the novice archer Hawkeye and set him against Iron Man, and later helped Hawkeye battle Iron Man. Unfortunately, Hawkeye's association with Russian spies would label him a criminal in his early career. Black Widow and Hawkeye next clashed against the novice super-hero Spider-Man. They resumed their focus on Tony Stark, clashing with Iron Man twice more - the first being an attempt to raid Tony Stark's munitions plant.
When that mission ended in failure, she was taken back to Russia by her masters and given a new costume that allowed her to scale walls as well as a device that allowed her to fire lines to swing from. She once more attempted to get Hawkeye to help her destroy Iron Man. The pair almost succeeded, but when Black Widow was injured, Hawkeye retreated to get her to safety. During this period, Romanova was attempting to defect from the Soviet Union and began to feel love toward Hawkeye, weakening her loyalty to her country. When her employers learned the truth, they had her gunned down, sending her to a hospital, convincing Hawkeye to go straight and seek membership in the Avengers.
Association with the Avengers:
Captured by her masters again and brainwashed, Black Widow was forced to hire the Swordsman and Power Man to destroy the Avengers. This plot eventually failed when the Avengers defeated both of the villains and Natasha shook off the effects of the brainwashing. Attempting to make amends with the group, she assisted them against the racist group known as the Sons of the Serpent.
Having been granted amnesty, Natasha made a bid for membership in the Avengers, aiding them in their battle against the Ultroids. She threatened to kill their leader Ixar if he did not leave the Earth, winning the victory, however Hawkeye covered up this fact so that she could get membership in the group even though she violated their code of ethics regarding killing. However when Nick Fury hired her to spy on her former master on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D., she was be forced to decline membership with the Avengers and publicly broke off her relationship with Hawkeye. As part of her mission, the press branded her as a traitor, breaking Hawkeye's heart.
Arriving in China, the Black Widow was not easily trusted and subjected to the Psychotron device, a machine that could brainwash anyone. She proved to be too strong willed and had to be gassed and kept locked up. Learning that Natasha was now a prisoner of her former Communist masters, the Avengers traveled to China to rescue her, clashing with the Red Guardian, Natasha's ex-husband who was thought to be dead. The Avengers with the help of Natasha defeated the Communists plot to use the Psychotron against the western world. During the course of the battle Natasha was injured and the Red Guardian seemingly perished in the battle.
After time recovering in the hospital, Natasha returned to Avengers mansion and came to the decision to give up her career of costumed adventuring. However this proved to be short lived as she returned to super-heroics shortly thereafter, however her romance with Hawkeye became strained as he was usually too busy with Avengers business to pay attention to her.
Fed up with staying out of action, Black Widow accepted another assignment from S.H.I.E.L.D. to prevent Egghead from using an orbital platform to hold the world ransom. She was captured, prompting Hawkeye (who still loved her) to use Henry Pym's growth formula to become the new Goliath and rescue her. She aided the Avengers in stopping Egghead, although it ended in the seeming death of Egghead and Goliath's brother Barney. After a prolonged absence, the Black Widow eventually ended her relationship with Goliath.
Going Solo:
Natasha was not be able to avoid super-heroics for long and, after designing a new sleek black costume and adapting her bracelets with electric "Widows Bites", she sought to prove herself a capable adventurer by besting Spider-Man in battle. Although Spider-Man was ill and not at his full capacity at the time, he was still able to beat the Widow, however she resolved to continue her career as a costumed adventurer.
She mostly clashed with underworld figures and costumed villains during this period, notably the Astrologer and Watchlord.
Partners with Daredevil:
The Black Widow soon became a pawn manipulated by the computer known as Baal from the distant future Earth-71778. In that reality, mankind was wiped out and the past history of Daredevil and Black Widow played a crucial role. This ultimately lead to a long relationship and partnership between the two heroes, but it eventually came to an end.
Nancy Rushman:
While working with S.H.I.E.L.D., Black Widow was briefly captured as part of a Hydra plot to infiltrate and brainwash the organization, causing her to regress to an old cover identity of teacher Nancy Rushman. Fortunately, she was discovered and rescued by Spider-Man, subsequently working with him, Nick Fury, and Shang-Chi to defeat their plan; she even admitted that the Nancy identity was attracted to Spider-Man after the crisis was over, even if she preferred to retain her independence.
Champions of Los Angeles:
She co-founded the Champions of Los Angeles after they had successfully foiled a plot by Pluto to invade Olympus. The team soon disbanded due to bankruptcy, and Natasha attempted a partnership with Hercules without success.
Solo Again:
After these two failures, Natasha decided to stay on her own and freelance as an agent for a while.
It was during this time that an enemy from her time alongside Daredevil kidnapped Ivan to lure her to her death. Damon Dran planned to bring Natasha to his island so a small army of female combat specialists could destroy her. Once she was out of the way, he would send a fake Black Widow back to S.H.I.E.L.D. to assassinate Nick Fury. Unfortunately for Dran, Natasha defeated the army, saved Ivan, and notified Fury (who in turn bombed Dran's island).
On a freelance mission, the Black Widow attempted to prevent the Hand from stealing the long-dead body of their Master Warrior, Kirigi. Utilizing deadly poisons, Natasha was killed by the Hand. She was revived by Stone of the Chaste, and joined forces with Stone and Daredevil to stop the Hand from reviving Elektra. Natasha knew that they failed in this endeavor, but kept the information from Matt for his well-being.
On a mission, Natasha found her husband Alexi Shostakov alive. Little did she know that it was only a Life Model Decoy created by Russian agents to blackmail her back into service of mother Russia. Once she finished the tasks they gave her, the Russians told her the truth and attempted to kill her. With Ivan's assistance, she defeated the Russians and destroyed the LMD.
Iron Man teamed up with Black Widow to prevent an agent named "Oktober" from attempting to start World War III by launching missiles. The missiles were launched, but Iron Man kept them from detonating. Oktober ended up actually being Natasha under some old KGB reprogramming that had been dormant in her mind. Together, they captured the agent responsible.
From Russia with Love:
In time, Black Widow came back to the Avengers and became a co-leader, managing ops at home base while Black Knight lead in the field. When the majority of the Avengers were killed during the Onslaught saga, she was unable to rebuild the team while fighting off lawsuits from the Maria Stark Foundation. She always felt as if the Avengers dissolution was solely her fault.
The Black Widow then vowed to apprehend all of the Avenger's former foes, and ran into Daredevil while hunting the Grey Gargoyle. Matt feared for her mental state as he noticed how obsessive she became about bringing the Gargoyle down. As he attempted to help her, his girlfriend, Karen Page, became increasingly more angry and jealous. Natasha acknowledged Matt's love for Karen and left them to be together.[58] Later, Natasha would even offer to help Karen clear her name from a murder Mr. Fear framed her for.
Once the Avengers who were thought killed returned, Natasha was more relieved, but decided to work with S.H.I.E.L.D. instead, assisting them in destroying Freedom Light by pretending to be Ebon Flame.
Daredevil came into her life once again when he needed her to take care of Baby Karen, who he believed to be the Antichrist.[60] He eventually came back to attempt to kill the child, and Natasha stood in his way. While they were fighting, Bullseye killed the child and Natasha was badly beaten. Upon the child's death, Matt realized what he was doing, and he and Natasha reconciled. While she could admit that she still cared for him, they both decided they would never be together.
Another Russian agent claimed the mantle of Black Widow, which brought her up against Natasha. Yelena Belova tried to keep Natasha from retrieving the Endless Fury Serum but failed.
A short time after, Natasha captured Yelena and had their faces surgically swapped in an effort to find out what General Stalyenko was doing with the Rhapastani Government in the Hudson River Valley. After meeting with whom he thought was Yelena, Stalyenko figured out it was not really she and attempted to kill her. Even though her plan failed, Natasha was able to prevent Stalyenko from selling the Cold War nuclear weapons he was hiding in the valley to Rhapastan.
The government of Bulgaria later captured Madame Hydra and requested an exchange with the United States for the Black Widow. As part of a sting to find out who it was that was going to allow Natasha to be exchanged, Daredevil and S.H.I.E.L.D. teamed up with Natasha and found out that her husband, Alexi had orchestrated the entire exchange. Alongside the Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D., and Daredevil, Natasha took Alexi into custody.
Widow's Hunt:
The stress of seeing her once-dead once-living once-dead once-robot now alive again husband drove Natasha to retirement. She lived for a short time in Arizona before agents from the Red Room began tracking down ex-Black Widow agents and killing them. Natasha recruited Phil Dexter, an associate from S.H.I.E.L.D., and attempted to track down the killers. In her hunting, she found Sally Anne Carter as well as Antonovna Kudrin, who was the former head of biotech for the Red Room. It turned out that the Black Widows included twenty-seven girls trained to be perfect killers. They were implanted with false memories, psycho-chemically conditioned, and chemically enhanced to be loyal and perform perfectly for the program.[68] Even pheromonal locks and keys were implanted into the Black Widows as a control mechanism to keep them from rebelling. While taking Lyudmila to S.H.I.E.L.D., Natasha learned that Nick Fury had used the pheromonal keys to make her defect from her home country and begin working for S.H.I.E.L.D. She also learned that Sally Anne was kidnapped and Phil was killed in the process.
The trail of Black Widow killings lead to Vassily Ilyich Ulyanov from the Red Room and Ian McMasters, CEO of Gynacon. Natasha caught up to them on his yacht and killed them, making her the number one most wanted criminal in the United States.
Natasha sought help from Yelena Belova in Cuba. Yelena was running a lingerie company and soft pornography television channels at the time. In return for a place to stay, Yelena asked Natasha for help in exporting stolen medical supplies from Miami. To her surprise, Natasha found the medical supplies to be from Gynacon and that Sally Anne was actually taken by the mafia. Kestrel and Martin Ferris captured Natasha in Miami and attempted to alter her mind using drugs to find out what she knew. With the help of Yelena, Daredevil rescued Natasha, who then tracked and killed Kestrel and Ferris. In all the madness, Natasha learned that Sally Anne had been experimented on by Gynacon but had escaped.
Black Widow was assigned to track down the Tinkerer in an effort to find the financier behind the super-villains of America. Disguised in a burqa, she tracked the Tinkerer to the castle of Lucia von Bardas, the current prime minister of Latveria. Unfortunately, the President refused Fury's request for a S.H.I.E.L.D.-focused overthrow of von Bardas. Forced to act alone, Fury gathered Widow, Captain America, Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Daredevil, Wolverine and Daisy Johnson to overthrow von Bardas. Unfortunately, the heroes disapproved of bringing down Castle Doom down on von Bardas. Afterwards, Fury erased the memories of the non-level 10 participants in his secret war.
Daredevil Goes to Jail:
When Matt Murdock's identity as Daredevil was leaked to the press, the government came to arrest him along with Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Foggy Nelson. Natasha was able to keep everyone but Matt from going to jail.
Civil War/Initiative:
During the Superhero Civil War, Natasha became a supporter of the Superhuman Registration Act and a member of the task force led by Iron Man. Afterward, Natasha allowed herself to be registered and joined the reconstituted Avengers.
Natasha, still one of the world's most sought-after espionage agents alive, was recruited by Iron Man and Ms. Marvel to be on the newest team of Avengers alongside the Sentry, Ares, the Wasp, and Wonder Man. When S.H.I.E.L.D. director Tony Stark was presumed killed and deputy director Maria Hill incapacitated, Natasha assumed temporary command of S.H.I.E.L.D. as the highest-ranking agent present.
Natasha was among the Avengers infected along with hundreds of other New York citizens by a symbiote virus, but were cured by Iron Man. Natasha became very suspicious of Jessica Drew, who was later discovered to be the Skrull impostor, Veranke.
Thunderbolts:
Natasha assumed the identity of Yelena Belova to infiltrate Norman Osborn's Thunderbolts for Nick Fury. Osborn discovered her breaking into an abandoned S.H.I.E.L.D. facility, and offered her the position of field lead. On her first mission, she and Ant-Man took control of Air Force One with the Goblin, Doc Samson, and the new President aboard. Osborn began impersonating Fury in messages to set Natasha up in order to strengthen the Thunderbolts and lead him to Fury.
Osborn ordered her to lead the current Thunderbolts to kill former Thunderbolt, Songbird. Fury orders "Yelena" to rescue and retrieve Songbird, for the information she might have possessed about Osborn and his operations. Natasha found Songbird, and revealed to her that she was really Natasha Romanova in disguise. She tried delivering Songbird to Fury, but the Thunderbolts also followed them. The trio was captured as Osborn revealed he had been impersonating Fury in messages all along. He ordered the team to execute Natasha and Songbird, but they managed to escape when Ant-Man, Headsmen and Paladin turned on the rest of the Thunderbolts and let them go. After being rescued by MACH-V and Fixer, they learned that the Fury Osborn shot was actually an LMD.
Widowmaker:
Natasha was framed in a plot targeting global spies. She was accused of assassinating U.S. senator Whit Crane. The senator's son, Nick, was captured by a rival spy Fatale, who wanted to know his source for implicating Natasha. Natasha stole Nick away from her and took him to a secret CIA base to scare him into giving her his source instead. The plan backfired when both of them were attacked. Natasha and Nick escaped, but while in Poland they were attacked by Fantasma and Crimson Dynamo. Natasha took down Crimson Dynamo, but then Fatale showed up and knocked out Fantasma. Fatale revealed that she was hired to kill Whit Crane but found he had already taken his own life and she needed to use Nick to track down who had actually paid for the hit. Nick gave them the name of a source 'Sadko' (not his true source of info), but when they arrived it was a trap wired with explosives and they were forced to escape. The conspiracy against spies turned out to be wider and Natasha encountered Mockingbird and Hawkeye on the same trail in Russia where they found many trainee spies and a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent have been killed. Soon Perun, Crimson Dynamo, Fantasma and Sputnik showed up to apprehend Hawkeye, believing him to be the Ronin behind the spy deaths. Discovering that this was merely a diversion, the three heroes and Dominic Fortune alerted the true target -- an ambassador in St. Petersburg, Russia. They next traveled to Japan. Dominic and Mockingbird discovering an amassing battle force on the Russian coast near to the northern Japanese islands, while Natasha and Hawkeye tracked down 'the Madame' -- an old ninja working with the new Ronin to bring about this Russian attack. The four heroes met up on the disputed island 'Iturup' where they met the Ronin, who was revealed as Alexi Shostakov. His plan was to kill off world intelligence operatives leaving countries blind while he made his attack, and brought the four heroes to him so he could kill them. Shostakov set off the volcano on the island, but Natasha and the others used the lava to defeat his forces. He was defeated when Natasha showed Fantasma his true plan and Fantasma then hypnotized him into seeing Natasha's death, allowing the real Natasha to take him down.
Again an Avenger:
After the Siege of Asgard, Black Widow joined Commander Rogers' new Secret Avengers. Some time later, when the Stark Tower was rebuilt, she joined the Avengers' main team and even had a room there. She played a vital role in helping Spider-Man foil the Sinister Six's latest scheme when she, Spider-Man and Silver Sable were the last heroes left standing after the Six defeated the rest of the Avengers (albeit because she was the Avenger closest to Sable's cloaked plane).
During the Avengers' war with the X-Men, Natasha sided with her fellow Avengers. After the war, she was called upon to join the primary Avengers squad. Several months later, when S.H.I.E.L.D. took over the Avengers to find the Illuminati and bring them into custody, Black Widow left the team and joined Sunspot's Avengers. When the Illuminati and the Avengers set their differences aside in light of the imminent destruction of the universe as a result of the Multiversal phenomenon known as an incursion, Black Widow was tasked with bringing selected people aboard the Future Foundation's Life Raft. When the final incursion was coming to a close, Widow's ship was damaged and Natasha died in the ensuing explosion.
Secret Empire:
Following the eventual restoration of the Multiverse, Natasha left the Avengers and returned to a life of espionage. Black Widow was forced to betray and deflect from S.H.I.E.L.D. when a new adversary nicknamed the Weeping Lion blackmailed her. In an ensuing mission, Natasha discovered the existence of a Dark Room Academy founded by the Red Room's former Headmistress. After turning the tables on the Weeping Lion and getting him to work for her, Black Widow further investigated the Dark Room. She managed to stop an assassination attempt in the White House from Dark Room recruits, and subsequently prevented the Headmistress' daughter Anya from compromising S.H.I.E.L.D., freeing the remaining recruits from the Dark Room's grasp, driving them to a path of recovery, and cleaning her name in the process.
When Hydra abruptly conquered the United States guided by the hand of Captain America, or rather a twisted fascist version of him that had secretly taken his place due to a Cosmic Cube, Black Widow joined the last line of resistance, the Underground.[90] Having grown tired of the Underground's reluctance to take the extreme approach to end Captain America even after his regime had leveled Las Vegas, Natasha parted on her own to kill Rogers. She was followed by the Champions, who joined her enterprise in an attempt to talk her out of murdering Captain America.
Over the course of the following weeks, Natasha trained the Champions in hopes to prepare them for the grim future, while scheming her murder plot. Black Widow also planned to kill Captain America herself to lift the burden from Spider-Man's shoulders, as a vision projected by an Inhuman profiler named Ulysses Cain had predicted the young hero was going to murder Rogers. Unfortunately, the intervention of a Hydra agent delayed the execution of Black Widow's plan, which gave Spider-Man enough time to confront Captain America alone. While Steve and Spider-Man were trading blows, Black Widow stepped in for the kid's safety, taking a hit from Captain America's shield which broke her neck. Enraged, Spider-Man beat up Captain America severely. Wasp stopped him, and convinced him to follow Natasha's wish, that he avoided becoming an assassin like her.
Personality:
Natasha is a professional and sly agent who will get any job done regardless of the difficulty. She went from being one of the best operatives in S.H.I.E.L.D. to a superhero. She held her own as a part of the Avengers for years, even leading them for a time. However, she doesn't belong with the superhero set due to her helping with S.H.I.E.L.D. Nevertheless, she will keep her word by being behind the scenes or assist the Avengers if needed. Despite of Natasha as a superhero, she will always resume her mission to be a spy. Nick Fury commented on Natasha that "running in the shadows is what she was born to do."

- History
Origin
Mistress of the Elements
Storm (Ororo Munroe) is a descendant of an ancient royal line of white-haired, blue-eyed sorceresses (possibly mutants), who's defining physical features surface every five generations. Her royal heritage can be traced back to the dawn of humanity. Her family's kingdom lies hidden in the Great Rift Valley of Africa, the valley that spawned the human race itself. The power in her family is transferred from mother to daughter. Her mother, Princess N'Dare, rebelled against their tradition as she felt that she was forced into the role that was expected of her. She then married an American photojournalist, David Munroe, and lived in Manhattan. They then moved to Cairo, Egypt when Ororo was still an infant. When Ororo was five, she and her family were caught in an Arab-Israeli conflict. Her parents were killed and Ororo ended up buried under rubble next to her mother's body. Because of this, Ororo has since had a life long struggle attempting to overcome her severe claustrophobia. Ororo was never sought after by her own people in fear for her own her safety as her own uncle, Shetani, who felt left out and wanted to rule, threatened that he would kill Ororo should her people even try to find her. Storm, by birth, is the rightful heir to her family's kingdom and to the oldest royal family on the face of the Earth.
Creation
Storm was created by the writer Len Wein and artist Dave Cockrum and made her first ever appearance in Giant Size X-Men # 1 in May 1975. Storm was created using different characters that were originally intended to be used in the Legion Of Superheroes comic book. During an interview in 1999, Len Wein explained that the original black female character of Legion would have been named The Black Cat and wore a similar costume to Storm but without the cape and sported cat-like haircut and ears. However, due to other female cat-like characters like Tigra appearing, Dave Cockrum decided to re-design the new character and give her white hair and a black cape and the name Storm.
Character Evolution
Goddess of the Plains
Since her introduction, Storm has always played a very prominent role in the world of the X-Men. In her early days after her first appearance she was a major character in the new team of X-Men following the relaunch of the mutant team in 1975. Then, perhaps her definitive role was as leader of the X-Men after Professor X went into space with the Starjammers for a time. She led the team through many huge challenges: the Mutant Massacre and Inferno to name but two, even through a long period when she had lost her powers. Following the return of Professor X, the X-Men were split into two teams, Gold (led by Storm) and Blue (led by Cyclops). During that period her closest male relationship was with Forge, however due to Storm being busy with the X-Men all the time, Forge felt left out and knew that her heart would always be with the X-Men and not with him which ended with the two breaking up. Following the discovery of Destiny's diaries, Storm led the X-Treme X-Men and then the X.S.E. teams. Most recently Storm has married Black Pantherand taken on a new leadership role in Wakanda.
Following the events of Doom War, both Storm and T'challa have left Wakanda for more heroic duties, Storm is now a main-stay member of the X-Men yet again and was in charge of the Utopia Security Team.
After the events of Schism, she stayed with Cyclops' team, but following the events of Avengers vs X-Men, she left his team to join Wolverine's school and his team there. Currently, she has formed a new X-Men team with Monet, Rachel Summers, Psylocke and Jubilee. Whether she stays on as leader or not is yet to be seen.
Major Story Arcs
Orphan in Cairo
Storm
As an orphan in Cairo, Ororo was forced to live on the streets. She was taken in by Achmed El-Gibar who taught her the many skills of thievery and hand to hand combat. While in Cairo, Storm has her first encounter with Charles Xavier, a powerful telepath who would go on to form the team of mutants called the X-Men. Through Ororo's attempt to pick Xavier's pocket, Charles meets the Shadow King. Storm also proves her skills as a thief by stealing a rare ruby-colored gem, the so-called "heart of eternal darkness" against Achmed's orders. Years later, it would be discovered that this stone contained the essence of the immortal mutant Candra.
Years later, Ororo leaves Egypt and returns to her ancestral homeland of Kenya. On the way there, Ororo accepts a ride with a man who attempts to rape her. Ororo killed the man with a knife, but swears never to take a life again. After nearly dying of thirst in the Sahara desert, Ororo learns that she has the power to control the weather. She also learns that South Africans, under the leadership of Andreas de Ruyter, were trying to kidnap Prince T'Challa of Wakanda, who was a little older than her. Storm uses her powers to help him escape, and the two travel together for a while, growing attracted to each other, but Ororo's dream and T'Challa's duty meant they couldn't be together yet.
Making her home in the Serengeti Plain in Kenya, Storm calls out to her goddess and is answered with the sight of a shining figure of a woman, who resembles her. Adopted as a goddess of life by the local tribes, Storm helps however she can, using her powers. The connection between the weather and her emotional state lead her to detach herself from stronger emotions as much as possible to protect the people. An elderly tribal woman, Ainet, helps her learn how to responsibly use her complex powers. A threat arises from a fellow mutant called Deluge, who wrested control over the weather from her in an attempt to revenge himself on humanity. Ororo managed to destroy Deluge and disperse the storm with the help of the X-Men, who were stranded in Kenya at that time. The X-Men inform Professor X about this promising mutant, however, he already knows of her, but hadn't contacted her before because he thought the cultural shock would be too much for her to handle.
Joining the X-Men
Eventually however, Xavier is left with no choice but to contact Ororo and ask her assistance in rescuing the X-Men, explaining to her that she was not a goddess but a mutant. Ororo agrees to join the X-Men and returns to live in America. The new X-Men's first mission tasks them with rescuing the original X-Men from the living island of Krakoa. Acclimatizing to life in America, Ororo was naive in the ways of the modern world; for example, she had no idea why there was any need for clothing, if one didn't feel cold.
Storm quickly makes friends among the X-Men, regarding them as family, with an especially strong bond of friendship with Jean Grey, who had helped Ororo in buying a new wardrobe. It was during one of their shopping tours that Jean learned of Storm's severe claustrophobia when the two women had chased a thief into a subway station.
Deadly Genesis
X-Men
The X-Men are taken into space by the Sentinels and held as prisoners in Lang's sentinel factory above Earth. During their escape, they are forced to use a damaged space shuttle to reenter the Earth's atmosphere. With Jean as the only person on board who could survive long enough to pilot the ship by using her powers to shield herself from the heat and radiation, while everyone else must remain in the protection of the radiation room. Unknown to everyone, Jean is replaced by the Phoenix Force during the reentry and placed in a cocoon hidden away under the ocean water in the area where the shuttle crashed-landed. To take a break from all the stress, the team decides to go on vacation to Banshee's home, Cassidy Keep. When they get there they are attacked by Juggernautand Banshee's cousin Black Tom Cassidy. During the battle, Storm suffers an extreme bout of claustrophobia from being confined within the castle, but when she's finally able to make it outside she turns the battle in favor of the X-Men.
While still in Scotland, the X-Men go to Muir Island, to the lab of Moira McTaggert to check on her research. The facility is then attacked by Eric the Red, Havok and Polaris who take the infant Magneto and age him into his thirties when his powers are at their peak. Magneto easily defeats the entire team, helped by the fact that two of its strongest members are metal based.
Eric the Red reveals that he is actually a Shi'ar spy sent to Earth to capture the fugitive Princess Lilandra, who had been in psychic contact with Charles Xavier, and had fallen in love with each other. When Eric takes her back to Shi'ar space, Xavier sends the X-Men after them which leads them into battle against the entire Shi'ar Imperial Guard. After their battle, the X-Men, along with the Shi'ar ruler D'Ken, are sucked into the M'Kraan Crystal. Phoenix repairs the crystal, thus saving the universe. Storm and the rest of the X-Men return to Earth but are soon after kidnapped by Magneto and held prisoner in the Savage Land. Magneto punishes the team for his time stuck as an infant and binds them so they can't move or speak. However, Storm is able to use her skills as a master lock-picker to break the restraints and frees the rest of the team.
They then attack Magneto and he ends up destroying his hidden headquarters in an attempt to kill them. The X-Men are split into two groups, Phoenix and Beast are propelled out of the Savage Land to Antarcticaand the rest of the team is imprisoned underground in the Savage Land. Phoenix and Beast return to America believing their teammates killed, while Storm and the X-Men adapt to life in their temporary home in the village of Ka-Zar and help him defeat the tyrant Garokk. Garokk dies accidentally, however, Storm blames herself for his death, which leaves her traumatized since she had vowed never to take another life. Storm then distances herself from the other X-Men and wandered around the Savage Land on her own. During this time, she saves a mysterious woman, M'rin, from a savage beast. Finding herself in another fantastic dimension adjacent to the Savage Land, M'rin - who is this dimension's warrior queen - befriends Ororo and regards her as her surrogate daughter. Before Storm leaves, M'rin showed her how to use her mother's ruby crystal to open the dimensional gates and come visit her, if she wishes.
Asgardian Wars
As the X-Men leave the Savage Land aboard a raft, they are caught in a massive gale that brings them to Japan where Storm and the team help battle Moses Magnum. Flying back from Japan by plane, the team are blown off course and forced to land in Calgary, Alberta. Alpha Flight had been instructed to bring in Wolverine and were found to be responsible for misdirecting the X-Men's plane. The X-Men and Alpha Flight begin to battle. As the battle reaches its climax, Storm has to use her powers like never before to quell a blizzard summoned by Shaman that grows out of his control, spanning the size of the Canadian continent. While successful, the effort required leaves her physically exhausted. Back in New York, Storm decides to visit the apartment in Harlem where her parents fell in love and where she was born.
Arriving at the building where her family used to live, she is shocked to find out that it was now occupied by some drug addicted kids. She meets up with her friends, Misty Knight and Luke Cage, who remind her that there is only so much that superheroes can do. This causes Ororo to start to doubt her life as an X-Man. Some time later, Storm is kidnapped by Arkon the Imperion, emperor of the other-dimensional world of Polemachus, who wanted someone with control over lightning to restore the machine that powered the energy-rings around their world. Ororo is willing to help, even though it would have cost her life. With the aid of the other X-Men, any loss of life was avoided. This adventure reminded her that life as an X-Man was more than just one battle after the next.
When a new student, the teenager Kitty Pryde, joins the X-Men, Ororo develops motherly feelings towards the girl, whose parents' marriage was disintegrating. Around the same time as this, Storm is captured and humiliated by the telepathic White Queen (Emma Frost) who telepathically probes Ororo for information on the X-Men. When the rest of the team assaults the building where the White Queen was keeping Storm prisoner, the White Queen becomes angry and almost wipes Storm's mind, but is prevented by the intervention of Phoenix.
Doom
The Transformation
After the death of Jean Grey, Cyclops leaves the team and Storm is appointed team leader by Professor Xavier, a role she is unsure about at first. Soon after this, the X-Men free the villain, Arcade, from Dr. Doom (actually, a very convincing Doom-bot) in order to get their friend Stevie Hunter back. Doom and Ororo feel some attraction towards each other; however, Doom still traps her and her fellow mutants and transforms Storm into a statue of organic chrome.
For a claustrophobic, this was a nightmare come true. Subconsciously, she started to warp weather patterns all over the world, creating a giant thunderstorm. When her teammates finally free her, she is immensely more powerful and close to insanity in her rage. The other X-Men make her realize she is heading down the same path as Phoenix had. They get though to her and she reins in her power, stops the storm, and spares Doom's life. When Storm brings Kitty to the White Queen's Massachusetts Academy per Kitty's parents' wishes, the White Queen uses a device to switch bodies with Storm. After switching back to their respective bodies, it still takes Storm some time to convince Kitty that it was really her stuck inside Emma Frost's body. With their personalities restored again, Storm almost kills Emma in the final battle, but Wolverine holds her back and reminds her that she is better than that. Storm is then ambushed by an assassin hired by the Bull. Teaming up with the Black Panther, her first love, they locate the Bull, and defeat the Bull's robot. This also kills The Bull himself as he was psychically connected to the robot.
Storm and Arkon
Later, Ororo and the team join the Fantastic Four and return to Polemachus, the world ruled by Arkon. The Badoon had invaded and taken control of Polemachus, and had taken Reed and Arkon prisoner. The teams defeat the Badoon and save both Arkon and Reed. A short time later, Storm is attacked by Dracula and turned into a vampire. Proving her strength of will rivaled his own, Storm gains the respect of Dracula who promises to relinquish his hold on her. However, Dracula later attacks Storm again, breaking his promise. He wanted to use her skills as a thief to steal a book from a monastery containing a spell that could kill him.
Dracula's daughter Lilith takes control of Kitty Pryde and takes vampiric control of Colossus, in pursuit of Storm. Kitty and Colossus ambush Storm who flash-freezes Colossus but is injured by a crossbow bolt from Kitty. Dracula saves Storm and the X-men later arrive to assist her in defeating him. Dracula is seemingly destroyed by Kitty (Lilith) reading the Montesi Formula. With his apparent death, his hold over Storm is released.
Quest for Magik Storm's Mystic Heritage
The X-Men continue on their many adventures. Travelling to Limbo to rescue Illyana (Magik), Ororo meets an elderly version of herself. The older Ororo's mutant powers have waned with age, instead, she has turned to the other side of her heritage, becoming a powerful sorceress and challenging Belasco's rule over Limbo.
The Brood then attack the X-Men, implanting them with their eggs. Storm flees from the others in a spaceship when she begins to transform into a new Brood. She uses her powers to channel nearby stars energies into her body, killing the Brood embryo and nearly killing herself. Adrift in space, she is then saved by Prophetsinger of the Acanti, a Whale-like species of space creatures who were enslaved by the Brood and used as huge living Starships. After destroying the Brood homeworld, back on Earth Storm and her team are confronted by Professor Xavier, who was the host for a Brood Queen. Again they defeat the Brood, and Professor Xavier is transferred into a cloned body. Ororo's powers briefly flare out of control and she feels that the Earth has "rejected her" – the recent encounter with the Brood had caused her inner harmony of body and soul to shift out of balance.
When Storm, Wolverine and Carol Danvers infiltrate the Pentagon to erase their data files, they meet Rogue, who had permanently absorbed Carol's powers. A fierce fight ensues, with Rogue absorbing Wolverine's and then Storm's powers only to be overwhelmed by this power. Storm traps Rogue within a tornado and removes her from the Pentagon so the team could escape and to protect the staff at the Pentagon. Soon after, Rogue comes to the X-Men for help controlling her powers, Xavier agrees and allows her to join the team.
Storm's new look
Storm is angered by this decision but is able to set aside her feelings and accept Rogue. Angel then is kidnapped by the Morlocks and the X-Men go to rescue him. Storm challenges the Morlock's leader, Callisto, to a duel for leadership, defeating Callisto by stabbing her through the heart. Storm then becomes the leader of the Morlocks. When the team later goes to Japan to attend Wolverine's wedding, Storm meets Yukio, a self proclaimed ronin who becomes one of Storm's closest friends. Yukio's devil-may-care free-spirited attitude triggered a dramatic change in Storm, resulting in Storm acquiring a mohawk, a new leather-clad look, and a more aggressive attitude.
Storm and several members of the X-Men are abducted by the Beyonder and, joining with other heroes, are forced to battle a cadre of villains on Battleworld. Back on Earth, during a mission to help Rogue, Storm is shot by a power neutralizer meant for Rogue, and she loses her powers. She goes to the home of the mutant Forge to recuperate and, during this time, they fall in love. When Storm later discovers that the power neutralizer was created by Forge, she feels betrayed and ends their relationship, leaving the X-Men for Africa where she meets Andrea and Andreas Von Strucker. Storm battles the twins to protect a local woman but is grazed on the temple by a bullet and is knocked out. Awakening, she travels across a desolate plain of Africa, encountering a woman in labor whom she helps give birth at the woman's village. Storm comes to terms with the loss of her powers and goes to Cairo where she helps the New Mutants defeat the Shadow King.
Storm and the New Mutants are all then transported to Asgard by Loki, in yet another scheme of his to take over Asgard. The X-Men travel to Asgard to rescue them. Loki tempts Storm with the title of the Goddess of Thunder and gives her Freya's Cloak of Magic Feathers and a mystically enhanced hammer. At first, she attacks Wolverine, but he's able to help Storm see through Loki's deception. She then returns to Earth with her team. Upon her return, Storm learns that Magneto had been appointed Headmaster of the school by Professor X. Cyclops had returned to the X-men while Storm was on Asgard and resumed leadership of the team, but Storm challenges Cyclops in a duel for leadership and defeats him.
Mutant Massacre
Sometime later, the mutant geneticist Mister Sinister sends his Marauders to exterminate the Morlocks. The X-Men quickly venture into the underground tunnels to investigate. They save a few survivors, but several X-Men suffer horrific injuries when the team encounters the killers. Storm feels she had failed as a leader, but Callisto slaps her back to her senses and into taking up her responsibilities again.
Fall of the Mutants
With more and more enemies of mutantkind in general rallying against them, the Hellfire Club proposes an alliance with the X-Men, offering Magneto the seat of the White King. After discussing this with Ororo, he accepts, with his own condition that he and Storm would jointly assume the title of the White King. However, Ororo would not be available for much longer. The Marauder Malice's attempt to possess the body of Dazzler and the bombing of the house of Jean Grey's sister, Sara, indicates that somebody is trying to get to the X-Men by harming their friends and families. As these enemies would apparently only stop once the X-Men were dead, Storm decides to go underground, naming Wolverine as Deputy Leader. Storm travels to Dallas seeking Forge's help. Finding his home derelict, she meets who she thinks is his old mentor Nazé. Nazé tells her that Forge (a powerful, but reluctant, Shaman) has probably been claimed by his nemesis, the Adversary, and will try to destroy the world in his name. Storm accompanies Nazé (really a Dire Wraith who had previously disguised itself as Naze and now serving as host for the Adversary) on a dangerous quest to find Forge. Storm starts to admit to herself that she still loves Forge, but is convinced that he has gone evil, thanks to Nazé's subtle manipulations. She confronts Forge on a mountain, surrounded by demons, with a gate to another dimension above him, and stabs him, only then realizing that he had in fact been trying to close the gate and save Earth.
In Dallas, time and space suddenly go crazy. Meanwhile Storm and the heavily injured Forge find themselves transported to another Earth, devoid of any human life. After spending a year there, they realize that the Adversary is giving them the chance to become parents to a new humanity on this world while destroying their own. The two decide that they have to try and save their own Earth. Forge uses the technology in his artificial leg to create an anti-Neutralizer, giving Storm back her powers. She uses her lightning is to energize a portal back to Earth. The magical spell to counter the one Forge cast many years ago, which had freed the Adversary, needs nine souls to give it energy. Thus, the X-Men and their companion Madelyne Pryor, on live TV, sacrifice themselves for Forge's spell. Secretly the X-Men are returned to life by Roma, and following Storm's original plan, let everybody believe they are still dead in order to better strike at their enemies. The team relocates to the former hideout of the Reavers, in the Australian Outback. Storm gets the chance to reacquaint herself with her foster mother, M'rin, after freeing Garrok from the influence of Terminus in the Savage Land.
Inferno Lil' Storm & Gambit
When Madelyne Pryor, with S'ym and N'astirh release a demon invasion of Earth, the X-Men meet X-Factor (the original 5 X-Men) for the first time. Some initial tension is soon overcome and Storm is happily reunited with her best friend. Storm destroys the demon N'astirh by overloading his circuitry with her lightning. Cyclops is shocked that Storm just wanted to get the job done, by any means necessary. Back at their headquarters in the Australian Outback, the X-Men are attacked by the psychotic Nanny and her underling, the Orphan Maker, who capture Storm and fake her death with the help of a SHIELD life model decoy. The villains escape and, once back at their base, Nanny physically and mentally reduces Storm to her pre-teens to better control her. However, Storm's claustrophobia gives her the strength to overload Nanny's systems and she escapes. The now approximately 11-12 year old Ororo finds herself in the city of Cairo, Illinois with no memories of her time with the X-Men or even why she was in America.
Her powers barely worked at this time, due to her youth. The Shadow King takes this opportunity to hunt her down. Taking over the body of FBI agent Jacob Reisz, he frames Ororo for murder. During a stint as a thief, which is all she knew at this age, the Shadow King has his agents waiting for Ororo, but she's saved by a fellow mutant and thief named Gambit. Gambit is intrigued by Ororo and they form a partnership, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Nanny finds them again, but they manage to beat her and destroy her aircraft, while at the same time reactivating Storm's memories of what had happened to her and who she really was. Gambit and Storm are reunited with Banshee and Forge at the X-Mansion, as well as with the New Mutants, Cable and X-Factor. Tests reveal that Ororo is stuck at this young age, not able to grow or age and without full access to her powers.
X-Tinction Agenda
The Genoshan government, working together with old X-Factor enemy, Cameron Hodge, plan to destroy the various X-Teams as revenge for an earlier defeat. They kidnap Storm and several New Mutants. In custody, Storm undergoes the conditioning process that the Genoshans had developed to turn mutants or mutates into obedient, mindless slaves. She is stripped of free will and is called Mutate 20. However, Genegineer Moreau and Chief Magistrate Anderson are among the faction working against Hodge and use Storm in a Trojan Horse gambit against him. When Storm attacks Cyclops on Anderson's orders, Storm not only regains both her faculties and her adult body, she's also given the means to reactivate the neutralized powers of the other captured X-Men.
Muir Island Saga and X-men Gold Team
Gold Team
Back on Muir Island, the Shadow King takes over the minds of the residents of the Research Facility. Several X-Men are captured by the residents when they try to stop the Shadow King. Professor Xavier, back on Earth, enlists the help of both X-Factor and SHIELD. After the villain was defeated, the original five X-Men rejoin. Storm is made leader of the so-called Gold Team. The arrival of the new X-Man Bishop from the future further strains the relationship between Storm and Forge, a relationship that was already on the rocks. Forge proposes to Storm, but Ororo hesitates. Jean Grey refuses to tell Forge about Storm's true feelings, and he becomes convinced that Storm didn't love him and could never be a complete person outside the X-Men.
He retracts his proposal and leaves to help Mystique, although it turns out that Storm would have said "yes." After an incident in which Mikhail Rasputin, Colossus' mad brother, floods the Morlock tunnels, apparently killing them all, Forge invites Storm to dinner where they make up. While they don't fully resume their relationship, they remain more than friends.
Return to the Morlocks
Marrow's Heart
As it turns out, Mikhail in actuality, had transported the Morlocks to another dimension, where time passes faster than on Earth. Children had grown up in the time since the X-Men saw them last and one group called the Gene Nation, led by Marrow – wanted revenge on the humans who had shunned the Morlocks while on Earth. They plan another massacre on the anniversary of the Morlock Massacre. Storm confronts Marrow, and in single combat cuts out the girl's heart, before the bomb attached to it could explode. Unaware of the fact that Marrow had survived, as she actually had two hearts, Storm is deeply troubled by her choice, feeling that she was incapable of making long-term decisions. While celebrating the Ceremony of Light as a remembrance ritual in the Morlock tunnels, she is teleported away by Mikhail Rasputin to his other dimension, where she was to become "mother" to the Morlocks. Storm learns that Rasputin actually backed Gene Nation. She forces him to return all the surviving Morlocks back to Earth and gives the Gene Nation members a choice. Either help rebuild the impoverished African village she had once visited – or else.
Storm then presented a new look to her teammates. During that time Storm also called off her on-again-off-again relationship with Forge for good, since she couldn't imagine a long-term future with him and started a subtle flirtation with Cable instead. Storm once more confronted Candra – who had by now learned that Storm had stolen her heart as a child – over the fate of the children Jamil and Karima. After facing several old foes and friends who couldn't possibly be there, Storm realized that Karima was a powerful mutant with the ability to make desires real and that Jamil was only an expression of her own desires. When Cyclops destroyed the ruby that contained Candra's essence, Storm's opponent perished and Ororo returned Karima home.
After Cyclops and Phoenix leave the team to recuperate, Storm is left, once again, as leader of the X-Men which now includes Marrow, who tries to provoke her at every point and whose very presence reminds Storm of her own failures. Storm and Marrow make peace though, thanks in part to Marrow's burgeoning friendship with Cannonball. Following the restructuring of the X-Men, Storm takes a less active role and joins a division of the X-Men that travels around the world to face new threats in Venice, Italy, and Russia.
X-Treme X-Men
X-Treme X-Men
Shortly after Storms brief leave of absence, the X-Men learn of the Diaries of the late precog Destiny, which chronicled the future. With only one book in their possession, Ororo realizes that the Diaries are too dangerous a weapon to be trusted to Charles Xavier following the incident with Onslaught. Planning to find the rest of the Diaries, Ororo asks Tessa AKA Sage to be among her group as her analytical skills would be needed to make sense of the cryptic prophecies. However, the team is beset with difficulties from the very beginning, not the least of which is the death of Storm's teammate Psylocke at the hands of Vargas, who claims to be the true Homo Superior. Gambit asks Storm for the ruby she had inherited from her mother, which is part of a mysterious powerful group of gems called the Madripoor set. The ruby, as well as the other gems, is stolen by the other-dimensional warrior Shaitan, who also abducts Gambit. Shaitan uses the gems and Gambit's power to create a portal - a giant space needle in the making - to allow the other-dimensional armies of his master Khan, a conqueror of whole universes, to enter Madripoor. At the same time, a force field prevents other heroes from entering Madripoor to help.
After Storm saves Khan's life from Madripoor crime lord Viper, Khan becomes obsessed with Storm, recognizing in her a kindred spirit and an equal. When Viper strikes Ororo in the back, leaving her for dead, Khan takes her with him to another dimension, saved her life and was going to make her his queen. Storm tried to convince him to stop his attempted conquest of Earth. Meanwhile, the other X-Men race against time trying to find Storm and to stop Khan's troops from gaining access to Earth. Khan's concubines jealously try to murder Storm but she defeats them despite her injuries. Together, the X-Men manage to successfully stop the Invasion by sabotaging Khan's castle and blowing up the inter-dimensional portal, seemingly blowing Khan's ship up in the process. Ororo's serious injuries cause her to collapse and have a near death experience, but she regains consciousness and goes through physical therapy treatment for her back and legs. With their mission to find the Diaries ended (since Rogue now had access to them, thanks to her powers), the other X-Men ask Storm's team to return to the mansion. Storm, Sage and Bishop, however, feel that someone has to defend the rights of humans and make sure that they could all co-exist peacefully. Storm and Gambit infiltrate a meeting of world leaders on mutant policy at the President's home. Storm makes Val Cooper, Alexi Vazjin and several other politicians an offer: she suggests a special police task force of mutants policing mutants, with worldwide authority – the X.S.E. The idea is given a green light but, as a test, she is sent to Tokyo to apprehend the extra-dimensional slaver, Tullamore Voge. There she meets with her good friend Yukio. At a nightclub, Storm intervenes in a mutant vs. mutant fight in an underground arena and unwittingly became the new champion. Excited by the thrill and the rush, Ororo returns and fights Callisto. This battle turned out to be a trap as Callisto had acquired new powers - tentacles in the place of her arms - and the fight was only a distraction for Storm to be defeated psychically by operatives of Callisto's master, Masque.
Storm and Callisto then outwardly live as champions, while remaining the slaves of Masque. However, they defeat Masque before they can be sold as slaves to Tullamore Voge. Storm hands over control of the arenas to Callisto, to form them into an organization offering safe harbor to mutants all over the world. Voge escapes, but his activities in Tokyo are brought to an end, so the X.S.E. are given the go-ahead. After returning to her teammates, Ororo learns of the devastation in Manhattan at the hands of a madman claiming to be Magneto. She also learns of the death of Jean Grey. Storm's team returns to Westchester to help rebuild the Xavier Institute, which now houses both the X-Men and the X.S.E. Professor Xavier departs for Genosha while Cyclops and Emma Frost function as Headmasters of the Institute.
The X.S.E.
Storm and Wolverine
The X.S.E. is given global authority as a mutant police force to maintain peace between humans and mutants. Storm is field leader with Bishop, Sage, Cannonball, Marvel Girl (Rachel Grey), Nightcrawler and Wolverine as team members. They easily beat the Weaponeers, a group of arms dealing terrorists, in the Sahara desert. Their next mission is against the extra-dimensional Fury, a super-adaptive robot with immense power. The Fury defeats the combined forces of Bishop, Marvel Girl and Cannonball at Captain Britain's ancestral home, and then takes control of Sage through her cyber glasses. Storm is able to overcome this by absorbing lightning into herself. Storm, Wolverine and Nightcrawler find that Sage is too difficult a challenge to overcome, but Fury's control over Sage is weakened and she is able to free herself after being hit by an EMP from Storm. While the Fury is briefly neutralized, Storm, Bishop, Sage and Marvel Girl, combine powers to create a miniature black hole in which they trap it.
En route to dinner with the Queen of England, the team is ambushed and kidnapped by Viper in revenge for her defeat during Khan's invasion and takes them to Murderworld while threatening to kill the Queen of England. The team manages to escape and their powers return. Viper had in actuality kidnapped one of the Queen's maids. The maid was trapped in an amusement park ride with a baby nuke that would explode if anyone entered. Nightcrawler teleports into the pod and saves the maid while Storm's air pressure field contains the nuclear blast long enough to save everyone.
Storm and Logan go on a date but are interrupted when they hear of some murders that implicate Wolverine due to some suspicious claw marks. They investigate and find X-23, the killer, at a nightclub. X-23 escapes after slashing Wolverine. Storm and Rachel catch up to X-23 and neutralize her, learning her identity and that she was actually on the trail of the Bacchae. The Bacchae - a team of women warriors - are defeated by Storm's team, thus freeing a man that was a friend of X-23. The team are then attacked by Geech, who defeats most of the team before Storm and Wolverine finally beat him. They then set about finding Sage, who did not return after their encounter with Viper. Storm and Bishop find Sage at the Paris branch, dressed in her old Hellfire Club garments standing with Sebastian Shaw and Sunspot, the club's latest Black King. The Cleaning Crew led by Donald Pierce, the club's White Bishop, attack but Storm manages to escape. Storm, Wolverine and Nightcrawler join the battle and defeat Donald Pierce, knocking off Pierce's head, but not before suffering serious injuries. Sage decides to remain with the Hellfire Club to assist Roberto DeCosta (Sunspot).
Travelling to Spain, the team find Psylocke alive after her death at the hands of Vargas. With Psylocke they travel to the Savage Land to find that Wolverine and X-23, who had stowed away in Logan's ship in order to go with him, are under attack. Storm and Rachel neutralize the attackers - the Hauk'ka, a race of Saurians - with a combination of blinding snow and sensory perception alteration. However, a team of super powered Saurians - Kaidan, with powerful telepathic powers, Raina, with super strength, and Masano, who could fly, take down the mutants and the team is captured and imprisoned. Using Rachel to amplify her powers, Storm was being used to generate massive hyper storms all around the world to destroy all human life on the planet. Psylocke and X-23 manage to save Bishop and Nightcrawler, and together with Kazar and the Savage Land Mutates, they capture Raina, Masano and Kaidan, and convince them that only mutual destruction is assured by their storms. They agree to join with the X-Men to save the world. Brainchild, who lied to them about saving Storm, is taken down by X-23 and Kaidan reverses his effect on Rachel. Together, Storm and Rachel are able to stop the hyper storms, and save the world.
Back at the Xavier Institute, Storm is reunited with Colossus, believed dead after his heroic suicide sometime before. The team is then attacked by Mojo and Spiral, who teleport in with Nocturne and Juggernaut. Spiral uses her magic to transform the team into the X-Babies, but Psylocke helps them to escape. The team then fight the Exiles, who are under Mojo's control. Once they are defeated, Juggernaut takes down Spiral, and then Mojo is subsequently defeated by the X-Men.
Wakanda and Marriage
Storm's marriage to the Black Panther
When the Scarlet Witch becomes insane she creates an alternate world in which all mutants had their wishes fulfilled. After being brought back to reality she goes into shock and depowers the majority of the world's mutants. The X.S.E. cease operations, and Ororo returns to Africa in order to protect former mutants. During this time, Ororo is reunited with T'Challa, the Black Panther and King of Wakanda. T'Challa proposes to her and Ororo accepts. Their marriage coincides with the superhuman Civil War brewing in America, and their wedding is riddled with disagreement and fighting between heroes on both sides. After their wedding, Storm and T'Challa go on a royal world tour. Their first stop is Dr. Doom's castle in Latveria at Doom's request. After battling a legion of Doombots, they escape and visit Namor in Atlantis, who does not receive them well. Then they fly to the moon to visit the Inhumans royal family.
Civil War
Storm and Black Panther- Rulers of Wakanda
While visiting the Inhumans Royal Family, they were all attacked because of Quicksilver's recent theft of the Terrigen Mists. While the fighting was stopped, they left with the looming threat of war between the Inhumans and Earth. Lastly, they stopped in America where they were set up and attacked by Tony Stark and the Sentinels of ONE. Storm and T'Challa decided to stay, and have expressed support for Captain America's rebellion against the Super-Human Registration Act. At the conclusion of Civil War, Storm and her husband make a temporary home in the Baxter Building and fill in for Reed and Sue Richards of the Fantastic Four. When Reed and Sue return, Ororo and T'Challa moved back to Wakanda.
Dark Reign
T'Challa is viciously attacked by Dr. Doom and his forces and is left in a coma. During his time in recovery, Storm takes political control of Wakanda and nominates Shuri to go before the Panther God. As Shuri goes on her quest to seek the Panther God's approval, Ororo and Queen Mother, Ramonda, seek out the help of the witch doctor Zawavari. Because of her spirit and strong connection to T'Challa, it was decided that Zawavari would use his magic to send Ororo into limbo so that she could rescue her husband. In limbo, T'Challa is successfully fighting off death and his forces, but it soon becomes too much, and he is about to be dragged off into the next life. Suddenly, a powerful wind sent all of his enemies flying away from him and Storm appears with lightning in both hands. In a bid to free T'Challa, Storm levels Death and his minions with a fierce wind attack and reveals that the only way she could save T'Challa was to give her life in his place. Fortunately for the both of them, Shuri, his sister and the new Black Panther, is able to lure and trap Morlun in their place, saving them both.
Doom War and Loss of Husband
Storm Vs. Vibranium Kracken
While T'Challa recovered he secretly prepares for war with Doom after realizing that Wakanda was already under attack. Storm meanwhile, used her powers to save the crops in the country but could not ascertain why they were still dying. In an unexpected confrontation with a mob, Storm blasted an angry farmer with lightning when he appeared to have drawn a weapon on her and was put on trial for crimes of treason, practicing witchcraft and crimes against humanity, and was imprisoned. Storm used her lockpicking skills as a former thief to pick the lock on her cell, but was captured by Doctor Doom, and forced to pick the lock to the vibranium vault under threat of the Queen mother and others being killed. Storm managed to pick all but the last of the locks before T'Challa finally reached Doom and Storm, who was released as Doom passed the final lock and met the Panther God.
Doom passes the test by convincing the Panther God of his vision of humanity in his "Doom World". Storm, Black Panther (Shuri), the Dora Milaje and the Fantastic Four (Sue, Johnny and Ben) attack networks and vibranium storage facilities throughout the world. While on this mission, Storm and her team of Dora Milaje are surprise attacked by a massive vibranium-enhanced Kracken, but Storm successfully defeated it. Becoming one with the alien metal, Doom used his power to control any object or structure that contains vibranium to initiate attacks worldwide. Launching a final offensive, the team met Doom on the battlefield, and T'Challa used shadow physics to combine alchemy with quantum science in a way that would make vibranium useless, instantly defeating Doom. Storm destroys all the doombots in a massive multi-pronged lightning strike. Storm returns to Wakanda with her husband, storing the planet's remaining portions of the recovered pure vibranium.
After T'Challa abdicated his throne at the conclusion of Doom War, he left his homeland and took Daredevil's place as the protector of Hell's Kitchen. Though Storm initially agreed to stay apart from her husband and promised to not interfere in T'Challa's mission of self-discovery, Storm broke her promise and had Pixie teleport her to Hells Kitchen to save T'Challa from a fatal fall. Storm and T'Challa worked together to take down Kraven and save a boy, Brian, who was the reason T'Challa and Kraven had come into conflict.
Astonishing X-Men
Saving Abigail
Storm continued to be an active member of the X-Men, fighting alongside both the Astonishing and Uncanny teams. Storm helps save SWORD agent Abigail Brand from certain death while plummeting toward Earth after her starship was damaged. It is then revealed that someone had hacked into the research files that Beast maintained in reference to his attempts to find ways to reactivate the mutant gene. The culprit, only identified as Kaga. Storm, the X-Men and Agent Brand gain entrance into one of Kaga's transport vessels and, after being attacked, managed to find and defeat him.
Storm later lead a team of X-Men that consisted of Beast, Kitty Pryde, Colossus and Lockheed, into space to save Hank's girlfriend Abigail Brand, who along with several scientists and other agents aboard an off-shoot S.W.O.R.D. space station, had been taken and infected by the Brood. The Brood was using special S.W.O.R.D. technology that could safely and repeated remove the Brood progeny from a single host to repopulate their species. After repelling several attacks, and overcoming their own planned Brood infections, the team defeated the Brood, with Storm killing one of the queens with a lightning bolt, reversed their infections, and saved a new species of Brood that could peacefully co-exist with other life forms (later became Broo at the Jean Grey School For Gifted Youngsters).
Second Coming
Fighting the Nimrods
When Storm, along with other members of the X-Men, is made aware of Cyclops' black ops team, X-Force, she is disgusted by the idea that he would put such a team together but, due to the situation at hand, she leaves it alone, promising to have a long talk with him after the current events are handled. It appears that Bastion, has assembled some of the X-Men's deadliest adversaries in an all-out effort to destroy the mutant race. The cabal includes Cameron Hodge, William Stryker, Graydon Creed and Steven Lang and a large army of anti-mutant soldiers and powerful Sentinels from a future timeline. Trapped in a nearly indestructible dome of energy among her fellow mutants with a portal connected to the timeline bringing in more sentinel units, Storm battles on the front lines.
She is nearly killed but saved by Hope. At the conclusion, Storm approaches both Cyclops and Wolverineabout X-Force. She tells Wolverine that X-Men don't kill and that his actions make him no better than the enemy. Logan tells her that if he had the chance he'd do it all over again. She sits down to have a beer with him and tells him that this could be the last drink they will ever share.
Regenesis - X-Men
Cyclops appointed Storm as leader of the security team, which consisted of Psylocke, Warpath, Jubilee, Domino and Colossus. The team was dispatched to retrieve Domino, whom they had lost contact with when she was attacked during a mission in Kupernicstan involving a sentinel smuggling ring. As they approached their destination, the team was confronted and told to leave the area by War Machine. Feining compliance Storm and her team proceeded to Kupernicstan anyway but was confronted a second time by a then agitated War Machine. After coming to an understanding, War Machine helped Storm's team battle the sentinels, which were launched in a large army to destroy Kupernicstan's neighboring country Symkaria, long enough for the rest of the team to defeat the rogue military group and deactivate the sentinels.
At the end of their battle in Kupernicstan, Storm discovered Jubilee was missing and set out with her team to find her. After weeks of searching, Jubilee was found to be on a remote island in China with a group of vampires called The Forgiven. Storm ordered her team to take down the vampires, with Storm battling Nighteyes, but Jubilee ended the conflict before it further escalated. As the two teams talked they discovered that the island was swarmed by various groups of assassins for hire, who had come to kill Raizo Kodo, leader of The Forgiven. Combining their efforts, the team defeated the assassins, with Jubilee choosing to stay with The Forgiven for the foreseeable future.
Learning of mysterious sightings of monsters across the globe Storm's security team, which consists of Psylocke, Domino, Pixie and Colossus began to investigate. After they secured a sample and used resources outside of the X-Men to analyze their findings, Storm discovered that these monsters were actually "proto-mutants", a genetic offshoot of the mutant species that were slaughtered centuries before, and that an unknown enemy, David Michael Gray, was recreating them in his secret lab. Considering the magnitude of this discovery, Storm chose to keep her findings a secret from Cyclops, which brought her into conflict with some of her team members. The team managed to secure one of the proto-mutants and learned of Dr.Gray's location, but arrived too late to stop him from killing himself and all of the proto-mutants. Storm finally reported the team's failure to Cyclops, and after a heated conversation, Storm and the team went in pursuit of their sample and recovered it, which had been stolen and placed into the hands of the Heavenly Path. They then encountered one of the original proto-mutants, Gabriel Shepard, who abruptly left the team after discovering what Dr.Gray did to his race. The internal tension between the team members, as a result of the conflict between Storm and Cyclops, continued to escalate, leading to an altercation between Storm and Colossus, and leaving the remaining team members disillusioned and unsure of the team's future.
Regenesis - Uncanny X-Men
After the events of Schism split the X-Men into two separate factions, Storm, who explained to Cyclops that she was not fully in agreement with the direction he was taking the X-Men, was preparing to leave Utopia and join Wolverine's team of X-Men when Scott pleaded with her to stay. The team consisted of Magneto, Magik, Colossunaut, Namor, Danger and Emma Frost, he explained that he needed her to remain on Utopia to help him maintain control of what could be a potential disaster. Convinced by his compelling explanation, Storm agreed to remain on Utopia, and to be his second in command in the field. Cyclops met with Storm, Namor, Magneto, Colossus, Emma Frost, Hope, Danger and Magik and informs them that they will be the new Extinction team, the premiere and most powerful superhero team in the world. The team has taken on Sinister, the Phalanx and battled the "Bad Apex" in Tabula Rasa, where Storm ended the conflict by making the Apex see the error of his ways. At the conclusion of Avengers vs X-Men the Extinction team disbanded. Storm joined Wolverine at the Jean Grey School and is now the school's Headmistress.
Joining The Avengers
Storm as an Avenger
Looking to replenish the ranks of the Avengers, Captain America approached the Black Panther, who declined Steve's offer to return to the team but recommended Storm for membership. Calling Storm to Avengers' Mansion, which was swarming with the media and public supporters of the heroes, Captain America asked Storm to join the team. This short-lived Avengers team consisted of Storm, Captain America, Iron Man, Red Hulk, The Protector, Spider-Woman, Hawkeye, Quake and Vision. The press conference was interrupted by a holographic image of Norman Osborn, who accused the Avengers of a litany of criminal offenses against him, and that H.A.M.M.E.R. would rise to challenge the Avengers. Captain America had the Avengers begin an immediate search for Osborn's whereabouts, teaming Storm up with Red Hulk, but all of them were surprised attacked and held captive by Osborn's H.A.M.M.E.R forces. They were eventually freed by Quake, and Storm and the Avengers defeated Osborn and shut down his bases of operation. The team also went on to defeat another faction of AIM.
Avengers Vs X-Men
The marriage's end
With the anticipated return of the potentially world ending threat of the Phoenix Force, the Avengers organized and planned an attack to attempt to defeat the Phoenix and take it's intended host, Hope, into protective custody. Believing that the Phoenix Force could reboot the mutant species, Cyclop's has the X-Men fight the Avengers to keep Hope with them, putting Storm in a difficult position of having to choose sides. Though she sided with the X-Men at the start of the conflict, Storm found her husband and asked that he help her find a way to end the conflict, but T'Challa refused, and Storm replied that his pigheaded stubbornness is the reason the couple were in marriage counselling. As the conflict escalated, a small team of X-Men travelled to Wakanda in an effort to locate Hope and encountered a team of Avengers, which included the Black Panther. Both he and Storm engaged each other in combat. At the climax of their fight, after being angered by T'Challa actually having a contingency plan in place to combat his own wife, Storm told T'Challa he was a terrible husband and threw her wedding ring to the ground. It is revealed in Avengers vs. X-Men # 9 that the Black Panther, after a Phoenix empowered Namor attacked and almost destroyed Wakanda , has annulled his marriage to Storm. Despite this, Storm, still assisted the Avengers with rescuing their captured teammates, who were imprisoned by the Phoenix imbued Colossus and Magik, and continued to fight on their side to help defeat the Phoenix Five.
Uncanny X-Force Now
Storm is co-leading a new X-Force team with Psylocke. At Wolverine's request Storm and Psylocke aided Puck on a mission that brought them in contact with Spiral. After capturing Spiral, who was taking care of a young mutant girl Ginny, the team encounters a possessed Bishop. Bishop was after Ginny and captured her, but with Spiral's teleportation power they caught up with him and eventually defeated him. One of the revenant forces that possessed Bishop then possessed Ginny and disappeared. Storm and Psylocke went into Bishop's mind and saved him from the Demon Bear that was still inside him. Under the leadership of the Owl Queen, who had taken possession of Ginny, the team was then attacked and captured by an army of revenants, though with Storm's help Bishop managed to escape. The Owl Queen had the revenants of each of the team brought out of them, but once Bishop returned and freed them the team killed their own revenants. For the accomplishment of killing her own revenant Storm was christened by Bishop as a Holy Revenant Hunter of the Order. The Owl Queen turned out to be Cassandra Nova and she tried to lead an invasion of the earth by an army of revenants to destroy all of humanity, but she was defeated by the Uncanny X-Force.
After a brief fight with Cable and his X-Force team over the discovery that Bishop had returned to the present Storm was briefly united with her former lover Forge. The two X-Force teams took on Stryfe and defeated him. At the conclusion of that battle, Storm had to leave the team and returned to the school.
All-Female X-Men Team
Storm leading the team
Storm is also leading the first all-female X-Men team. The roster initially consists of Psylocke, Jubilee, Rachel Grey, Rogue, and Kitty Pryde. This team is a spiritual continuation of her former Security Recon Team, except now this team originates from the Jean Grey School instead of Utopia. The team took on Arkea, who is the sister to Sublime and has the ability to control technology and took control of Karima and attacked the school. During the mission, Storm made the decision to kill Karima, who ultimately did not end up having to die, but brought Ororo into conflict with Rachel Grey, with Rachel questioning Storm's assumption of being the team's leader.
A strain of the Arkea virus was retained and downloaded into Reiko, the assistant to Lady Deathstrike. Arkea recruited Enchantress, Typhoid Mary, and a revived Selene and Madelyne Pryor. They formed the Sisterhood. Storm's team found them, and after confronting Selene and Madelyne Storm made a deal to let them go in exchange for Arkea. Both ladies agreed and made their escape, allowing Storm's team to kill Arkea unabated. The team then encountered Shogo's father, The Future, who had kidnapped Jubilee and he tried to ransom her for the return of his son Shogo. Storm's team, aided by her daughter Kymera, succeeded in defeating him.
Exogenous
Director of S.W.O.R.D., Abigail Brand contacted the X-Men, asking them to visit the Peak. Once on board, they meet Manifold Tyger, Brand, and Dr. Cecilia Reyes, who helped to examine the body of Deathbird. Sidrian Hunters infiltrated the Peak in search of Deathbird. The X-Men helped to fight them off. Monet, Rachel, and Psylocke entered Deathbird's mind, and later boarded the Lilandra (a Shi'ar Imperial Craft), to resolve the issue. After Storm managed to restore power to the Peak's engines (via intense lightning blasts), she passed out from the power exertion. Manifold Tyger, revealed to be a member of the Providian Order, then strangled Storm and nearly killed her. While recovering in the med bay Storm went into cardiac arrest but was saved by Jubilee and Dr.Reyes.
Storm - Solo Series
Setting out to live by her own rules and use her powers for the betterment of humans and mutants alike Storm used her powers to save the island village of Santo Marco from a tsunami and, despite the political consequences, from a local anti-mutant militia. Her adventures also brought her into a brief conflict with her former nemesis Callisto, took her back to Kenya where she met up with Forge to aid a local village suffering from drought conditions, and taking care of some of Wolverine's unfinished business with their mutual friend after his untimely death. While aiding Yukio, who had become the leader of several dangerous criminal clans, Storm was unexpectedly forced into fighting on her behalf in order to protect Yukio when her position as leader was challenged by a rival. After defeating the rival's champion in combat, though suffering some injuries, Storm secured Yukio's position as leader of the four clans.
While still recovering from her injuries the passenger plane Storm was flying home on was attacked by one of the clans. Already being recognized and branded a terrorist by one of the passengers, who happened to be a U.S. senator, Storm managed to defeat the attackers and save the plane. However, upon landing the plane in NY Storm passed out from the strain of exerting her powers, and while she was unconscious the Senator made a publicized accusation that Storm was holding the passengers hostage and was terrorizing them. She was immediately arrested and taken into custody by the FBI. Seeing Storm arrested on television and that she was being held in a special FBI facility in Brooklyn her fellow X-Men reached out to Storm telepathically. Through Rachel's telepathic link Storm had explained that the plane was attacked by one of the criminal clans, Eaglestar, and that she was being framed by them. Rachel also informed Storm that a large crowd of people had come to protest her arrest and were outside of the facility she was being held in.
Unsuccessful with trying to convince the FBI that she was being framed and that the mastermind behind the attack was Davis Harmon, who was believed to be dead to the world at large, Storm was forced to break free and find him herself. After making a daring escape Storm, through the assistance of the X-Men, found the senator who falsely accused her. Scaring him into confessing and revealing the whereabouts of Davis Harmon Storm had to elude the FBI a second time and made her way to San Francisco. Diving under the bay Storm found Harmon raiding the remnants of Utopia. Refusing to surrender Storm forced his large vessel to the surface of the ocean and easily defeated him. After explaining to Storm why he tried to frame her he made a final but unsuccessful attempt to kill her by detonating his vessel. The explosion created a massive tidal wave that threatened to kill the people on the Golden Gate bridge, but Storm creatively vaporized it before it could reach the bridge. She then turned Harmon over to the FBI.
After having a special thieves adventure with her good friend Gambit Storm returned to her duties as Headmistress of the Jean Grey School. Unexpectedly the school was attacked by one of the former students and residents of Utopia - the believed to be deceased Kenji Uedo. Explaining that he felt that Storm failed him Kenji used his powerful abilities to attack not only the entire school, both students and faculty but was simultaneously attacking Callisto in New York, Forge in Africa, and one of her former student's Marisol Guerra at her home in Mexico by generating numerous monster clones around the globe. Using his psionically conductive body mass to channel additional energy Storm used her powers across the planet to simultaneously take out all of Kenji's monster clones, and then pulled Kenji, Callisto, Forge, and Marisol into the astral plane via taking control of Kenji's psionic powers. There, instead of killing Kenji, she managed to pull off a psychic intervention and was able to spare his life.
Avengers & X-Men: AXIS
After the initial events that led up to AXIS, Storm arrived with reinforcements, including Colossus and Nightcrawler, to battle the Red Onslaught and the two sentinels in his control, both of which were created by Tony Stark and designed specifically to take down heroes. Storm, along with all the other heroes, except for Iron Man, was taken down by the Red Onslaught. After Wanda Maximoff and Dr. Doom were able to cast their inversion spell, Storm and the other heroes reappeared, though some of them - including Storm - were noticeably different. After becoming darker as a result of the inversion spell Storm joined her fellow X-Men, and all were under the leadership of Apocalypse. They were trying to retrieve the Red Skull's body, who had part of Xavier's consciousness inside it but the Avengers refused to turn him over. This brought Storm and the mutants into conflict with the other inverted heroes and villains. Later the inversion spell was reversed and Storm was restored to normal.
Guardians of the Galaxy & X-Men: The Black Vortex
Storm vs Gamora
A mysterious artifact of vast cosmic power was discovered in space by the villainous Mister Knife, the father of Peter Quill. The Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde stole the artifact from Quill's father and brought it to the Planet Spartax. Kitty asked her friend and teammate, Illyana Rasputin aka Magik, for help. Magik teleported to the Jean Grey School with the All-New X-Men. There she briefly explained the situation to Storm and Beast before teleporting them with her to Spartax. Once on the planet, the group argued over what to do with the artifact. Storm was in favor of destroying it. Some of the others, most importantly Gamora, were not. During their discussion, the Slaughter Lords arrived and attacked the assembled X-Men and Guardians. During a brief engagement, Gamora used the Black Vortex and became cosmically empowered. With her new abilities, she took down all of the Slaughter Lords on her own, giving Magik enough time to teleport the group away to Spartax's moon, where the argument continued. Beast also used the Black Vortex on himself, and Angel soon followed. They urged the others to do the same, but they would not. The cosmically empowered heroes wanted to take the artifact, but Storm would not allow it, leading to a short battle, during which Storm took on the empowered Gamora. After their altercation, the three transformed heroes left the planet with the Vortex. Mister Knife finally located the group and unleashed a fierce bombardment on the heroes gathered on the moon. It was initially thought that the heroes were wiped out by this attack. However, Kitty was able to reach Storm and one other, using her intangibility to spare them from the attack. Magik saved the rest of the group with some quick teleportation. Magik also cast a spell of intangibility to block the group from the view of the others.
Extraordinary X-Men
With the release of the terrigen mist into the earth's atmosphere, the mutants faced a new deadly threat. The toxic properties of the mist were not only deadly to mutants but also sterilizes the carriers of the X-gene. In an effort to save the earth's remaining mutants and fight for her species place in the world Storm created a sanctuary, X-Haven, and assembled a new team of X-Men that includes Magik, Colossus, Iceman, Nightcrawler, Forge, teenage Jean Grey, and Old Man Logan. After Storm's team saved Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Magik from the clutches of Mr. Sinister Ororo addressed the world, announcing X-Haven as a safe house for all mutants, and declared that the X-Men will find and save all mutants, retaliate against any persecution, and fight to protect all life - mutants, humans, and inhumans alike. Storm's team rescued many mutants and their families. During the team's time in Limbo Storm lead her X-Men team on several crucial missions, playing a key role in defeating a new incarnation of Apocalypse, overcoming the universal threat of the World Eater and dominated the war with the Inhumans.
Despite her successes and repairing her strained relationship with her former lover Forge Storm was plagued by her failings. Her uncharacteristic doubts in her leadership ability, the mutants who fell victim to the terrigen mists, and trusting the unstable Emma Frost in their war with the Inhumans all took their toll.
X-Men Gold
After the events of the war with the Inhumans and unsure of the direction they go Storm asked her close friend Kitty Pryde to take over leadership of the X-Men. She had planned to leave the team but Kitty convinced Ororo that she was still needed and to stay with the team.
Powers
Weather Manipulation
Multiple times over the years Storm has been called a "sculptress". This is one of many ways to describe her absolute mastery and dominion over the forces and elements that govern weather. In the blink of an eye, Storm can alter her perception to perceive the elements of nature, including the planet's magnetic and electromagnetic field, and the ozone layer, as patterns of force and energy. She becomes one with these forces and can mold them to her will for a variety of effects. These atmospheric forces include (but are not limited to) air, moisture, temperature, pressure, and electrical energy. Through molding these forces Storm can manifest any meteorological tempest, weather effect, and other atmospheric phenomena with a thought. This also includes control over ocean currents.
She has summoned powerful blizzards, thunderstorms, monsoons, tornadoes, hail, and hurricanes, as well as disbursed natural storms to create clear weather. Her range has been shown to be planetary but she can also localize the weather effects to a specific area or target, even refined enough control to manipulating air and electrical forces inside a target's body. Storm has also shown that she can channel these elemental forces through her own body, allowing her to project weather-effects in a beam-like path from her hands, such as lightning, wind, thermal energy, and moisture. Her control over air also gives her the power of flight.
Due to her powers being tied to her emotions and because she is completely in-tune with the environment, she must keep a tight rein on her emotions to avoid them influencing the surrounding weather. Being acutely attuned with the biosphere of the planet Storm can sense various changes within the atmosphere and earth, including unnatural shifts in the air, movement within the earth, changes in the earth's electromagnetic field, or shifts within the water's currents. She has sensed objects as small as a snowball being tossed her way or the Blackbird cutting across the atmosphere from thousands of miles away.
Adaptation
As Storm goes into different environments her powers adapt, including other planets and dimensions, allowing her control over the atmospheres in these different environments. For example, in space, she can manipulate energies of stars and the solar wind. She can also summon atmospheric lightning while in space (though she can generate bioelectric lightning bolts through her metabolism). When in space she needs no medium for her lightning to travel and the raw power of her bolts are significantly enhanced and has summoned a bolt big enough to cover a spaceship.
Potential
It should be noted that Storm currently has the label of "Omega Level Potential" that has yet to be confirmed. As such, she may have a vast and ever-evolving range and array to her mutant powers that is yet untapped.
Skills
Storm is a gifted and cunning hand to hand combatant of formidable skill, having been trained by Achmed El Gibar and the Black Panther in her youth, and extensively trained by her fellow X-Man Wolverine. She is a master thief, lockpick and escape artist, has the same degree of dexterity in her toes and mouth as she does with her hands, and her reflexes, balance and coordination have been said to be far above normal. She is highly skilled with wielding knives, is experienced with a bo staff and has received training in sword fighting by the finest warriors in Wakanda. She is also an excellent marksman with a gun. She is very intelligent, a skilled and resourceful tactician, and possesses strong natural leadership skills, having led the X-Men for years prior to and after her marriage to the Black Panther and her time as queen of Wakanda.
Mystical Heritage
Ororo is the descendant of a long line of African Priestesses and Sorceresses that had white hair, blue eyes, and strong magic potential. This line of women has been around since the dawn of Atlantis. While there have been many of them, the exact number of women who possessed Ororo's unique features is still unknown. Due to the fact that Storm possesses the signature markings of a witch (blue eyes and white hair on her maternal side) you can assume has inherited latent magic abilities. To this day, Storm still has not shown the mystic aspects of what she could have inherited, but she does embrace the "Bright Lady", The Goddess of her ancestors who is also known as the Vishanti member, Oshtur, the source of her ancestors magic. Storm has used her latent ability as a priestess to successfully invoke her name. Out of the entire line of women, only 3 have been brought up. Ayesha, a Sorceress Supreme who was possibly the first to hold the High Priestess title, Ashake, a very talented Egyptian sorceress who appears to have also been High Priestess of her time, and another "Wind Rider" who was confirmed by Andreas deRuyter and his father. Like her ancestor, Ayesha, Storm also possesses the title of this era's High Priestess. But she shares the title equally with Scarlet Witch and Agatha Harkness. Storm now has great mystical power that she could develop in a matter of days.
Claustrophobia
Storm is one of the most powerful mutants and members of the X-Men, however, she suffers from claustrophobia (the fear of narrow or enclosed spaces), due to the experience as a child of being buried alive beside the dead bodies of her parents. When she had fallen victim to claustrophobic attacks in the past, she lost control of her powers. However, over time Storm has learned to manage her fear through sheer force of will and with mental exercises taught to her by Professor X.

Earth-295 (Age of Apocalypse)
Storm in the Age of Apocalypse
On Earth- 295, Storm was seen by many people as being a Goddess. Her home continent, Africa was in turmoil following the rise of the mutant tyrant Apocalypse. Following this, Storm called herself the Windrider and declared a small section of Africa for herself to intended to keep it safe from the war brewing between mutants and humans. However, her plan backfired as the small section of Africa she was protecting actually made her and the people within stand out. Apocalypse took advantage of this and attacked the small nation and captured Storm to turn her into a Horseman. She was taken to Mr. Sinister and the Dark Beast where she was branded and made into a warrior for Apocalypse. It was here that Apocalypse gave her the codename 'Storm'.
While she was within Dark Beast's lab, she was subjected to torture and the Shadow King's mind- controlling telepathy. However, Storm was able to resist the Shadow King's mind control and managed to summon a large storm that wiped out all of the power within Apocalypse's lands. During the loss of power, Prelate Scott Summers found Storm and feeling sympathy for her helped her escape the labs. While Storm was heading back to Africa, she was confronted by Quicksilver whom she thought was a spy for Apocalypse. As she was about to electrocute him with lightning, Quicksilver explained that he was actually a member of the X-Men and he earned her trust. Later on, Storm became romantically involved with Quicksilver.
Storm joined the X-Men team and kept the codename Storm to remind her of what she had been through with Apocalypse. She was selected to join Quicksilver's X-Men team and was sent to help destroy the Sentinels that were created by the Human High Council in evacuating North America. While the team were within America, they were confronted by the Brotherhood and Abyss, who was a Horseman of Apocalypse, and their leader. Storm managed to defeat Abyss and his Brotherhood by luring Quicksilver out into the open.
Upon completing the evacuation, the X-Men team were sent back to their headquarters in Westchester. While there, they discovered that Apocalypse attacked their headquarters and captured Magneto, Charles and Bishop. Along with Quicksilver, Storm travelled to the Mandri Temple to rescue Bishop. They managed to find and rescue Bishop and they also managed to free Jamie Madrox, who was responsible for the creation of the Madri Cult. To stop the Madri surviving, Jamie shut down his own mind. Along with the rest of the X-Men team, Storm travelled to New York City to confront and defeat Apocalypse once and for all. They were successful in doing since then Storm and Quicksilver have developed their relationship and continue to fight for Magneto's vision of coexistence. After a decade of Apocalypse´s defeat, it is revealed that Storm became a loyal herald of the new Apocalypse (Weapon X).

Age of Ultron (Earth-61112)
Age of Ultron ~ Storm
Storm was one of the few survivors of Ultron's reemergence and takeover. The survivors hid in tunnels beneath Central Park to evade Ultron's forces. When the group travelled to the Savage Land, Storm provided mist and fog as cover in tandem with the Sue Storm's invisibility and Emma Frost's psychic cloaking. The group discovered a secret bunker built by Nick Fury, who later revealed himself to them. There was a time machine inside the bunker. He proposed that a team be taken into the future. Storm was one of the selected few. She used her powers to carry the team through the air from the Savage Land (which was unexpectedly verdant) to New York City, which had been transformed into a technological masterpiece. They were detected immediately upon their arrival by Ultron, who sent hundreds of drones to attack the group. After a fierce battle for their lives, each of the heroes, including Captain America, Black Widow, Quake, Iron Man, and Red Hulk, was hurt, and presumably, died. .
Earth-58163 (House of M)
After the Scarlet Witch lost control of her powers and warped the Earth 616 reality, Storm's history and connection to the world changed. She did not meet Charles Xavier and later join the X-Men. Instead, while in her teens, she ventured to Africa, where her developing mutant powers emerged, and the legend of the Windrider grew across the continent. During this time, she met T'Challa. Storm used her powers to save T'Challa from a mutant attack on the young prince's kingdom of Wakanda. During that time the two fell in love, and T'Challa eventually proposed to her but Storm refused him. Over the subsequent years, Storm used her powers for the good of Africa, using her powers to quell human-mutant conflicts throughout the continent and promote peace, and helped to end a civil war that erupted in Kenya. As a result, the Kenyan people embraced Storm as their queen. Storm played a pivotal role in Magneto's successful victory over the rest of Africa, though not Wakanda, and installed leadership in Africa, but allowed Storm to remain as queen of Kenya. Storm had helped to turn Africa into a world power, making Africa into the world's breadbasket. And, in addition to Africa's rising power, Storm's promotion of peaceful relations between humans and mutants gave Magneto great concern and brought her into conflict with him. To address this, Magneto instructed Quicksilver to court Storm, though the two of them developed genuine feelings for each other. However, due to Storm's distaste for Magneto's rule and that Pietro supported his father's philosophy, she did not pursue a relationship with him. Storm, as well as Sunfire, Namor and Blackbolt, rulers of their respective lands, was secretly working with T'Challa, whom Magneto had been trying to eliminate. After T'Challa killed the latest assassin, Sabretooth, Magneto sent in Apocalypse and his Horsemen to kill the Black Panther. As part of T'Challa's secret resistance, Storm takes down Apocalypse's airship and engaged Iceman, one of Apocalypse's Horsemen. A shot time later, at a large gathering to celebrate and honor the House of Magnus, Wanda changed the world back to normal but also eliminated 99% of the world's mutant population. Storm was one of the few remaining mutants who retained her powers.
Earth-1298 (Mutant X)
The Storm of the Earth-1298 reality (Mutant X), is known as Bloodstorm after being bitten by Dracula. Before she was completely turned Kitty Pryde tried to slay her but fell as Storms first victim. She later joins up with fellow thief Gambitpossibly as her consort and takes on a job to steal something from Apocalypse. It is here when she encounters Warren Worthington once known as Angel, now resembling more of a winged demon calling himself The Fallen. He first taunts Ororo, before forcing her to expose herself as a vampire to Gambit when he attacks her. Fallen then attacks Gambit, fatally wounding him. Gambit begged Ororo to turn him.
At this time, she reluctantly turned Gambit into a vampire, because he was dying and he begged her to do it no matter what. He ended up hating her for what he becomes. They go their separate ways afterwards.
Ororo later joins up with the Six and takes on the name Bloodstorm. The team consist of a mock of the original X-Menline-up, Havok, Madelyne Pryor, Ice Man, Brute, and Fallen. She also keeps Forge and Kitty, now calling herself Kathrine, as her consorts, and it is inferred that she fed on Forge instead of letting the thirst get the better of her.
The Goblin Queen: Mutant X was originally supposed to be a 13 issue mini-series in which Havok gets his own happy ending, in place of his brother Cyclops. Madelyne Pryor was possessed of the Goblin Force, which is depicted much in the tradition of the Phoenix Force. Once driven mad by its power Madelyne Pryor becomes the Goblin Queen, first attacking the Six, and controlling them. Bloodstorm was one of the first to be attacked, by her hordes of demons. When her castle was attacked Bloodstorm diverted the demons long enough for Kathrine and Forge to escape, though she fell to the Goblin Queen influence. By the end of the short-lived inferno, Bloodstorm and the six are returned to normal and Havok along with Scotty (His son) defeat the Goblin Queen. Madelyne, however, is lost as well.
Gambit: The Six find themselves in New Orleans where they encounter Gambit, who is now the leader of the thieves guild. Having owed Bloodstorm a favor for saving his life, he gives them sanctuary from the " Friends of Humanity" and anti-mutant terrorist group. Gambit, however, is betrayed by one of his own, and his wife is killed. He then leaves the guild and joins with the six, and he and Bloodstorm reconcile their differences. Jean Grey joins the Six and helps them defeat an evil Professor Xavier who has been possessed by his adversary the Shadow King.
The Hunt for Dracula: The Six were contacted by an organization known as the Vault (a high-security prison for super-powered villains) A box containing Dracula had been stolen from the Vault by the Marauders. Bloodstorm sensing her maker volunteered to track it down and bring it back. In her pursuit, Bloodstorm became more and more violent attacking people and beating answers out of them. Gambit who followed her tried to calm her but failed. Bloodstorm eventually found her way to the Morlock tunnelswhere she engaged the Marauders in battle, killing two of them, all the while growing more and more violent. Gambit eventually shows up and seeing that the closer she gets to the box the eviler she became, Gambit blew it down one of the drain pipes with a card. Bloodstorm immediately regained control over herself.
A Cure: While in the tunnels, Bloodstorm and Gambit are ambushed by the Morlocks who are all dressed like druids. Bloodstorm looses consciousness and Gambit disappears. When Bloodstorm awakes she meets Dagger, the leader of the Morlocks. Dagger has crucified Gambit for unspoken crimes against them, and he is hung up where the suns deadly rays will reach him upon sunrise. Bloodstorm challenges Dagger in exchange for his life, and much like the battle between Storm and Callisto, no powers are allowed. Bloodstorm bests Dagger stabbing her in the chest when it is revealed that Dagger is actually Cloak and Dagger and the two of them had become one. The Morlocks drag Cloak and Dagger away and Bloodstorm helps Gambit down from the cross just before the sun reaches him. The two of them, however, have both decided that they would rather not live on as vampires and they wait for the sun to finish them. However before they are killed, Ice Man creates an ice shield over the opening blocking the sunlight, and Havok brings them two vials, telling them that it's not a cure, but it will make them immune to sunlight and it will remove the dependency on blood.
Dracula the Beyonder and the Golblin Queen: The Beyonder rises from the center of the Earth after a cosmic scale battle between Captain America and Havok. He absorbs the memories of Captain America, and goes in search of Havok who he calls the "Key to everywhere." The Six Return to their castle where Havok is attacked by Dracula who bites him. The Six try to fight him off, but he easily overwhelms them when they are all suddenly hit by some strange psionic attack, felt through the universe as the Beyonder has returned. The X-Men, lead by Magneto come to the aid of the Six, but are slowly killed off by Dracula. First Quicksilver, then Mystique, then Polaris. Jean is attacked and left paralyzed. Iceman and Beast work together to hold off Dracula while Havok is revived. The last to defend against Dracula is Elektra who sacrifices herself in an effort to stop him but tragically failed. The Six escape as Magneto comes to a secret fortress where they prepare for the more prudent threat at hand, the Beyonder, who is later revealed to actually be the Goblin Queen in disguise. While Havok does battle with the Goblin Queen, Dracula attempts to kill the last of Earth heroes when Bloodstorm stakes him through the heart, and he dies. Havok defeats the Goblin Queen and she is forced out of Madelyne Pryor's body who is returned to her son, though Havok disappeared after that returning to his own reality.
Reality Hopping: Later, Bloodstorm was pulled from her own reality by Machine Man of Earth-9997 and joined the Heralds. They were sent on a mission in alternate worlds to warn them of a Celestial at the center of the Earth. Bloodstorm's group was sent to an Earth where everyone had been turned to vampires. Though she accomplished her mission of warning them of the Celestial, they all agreed to just end their miserable existence, choosing death over their own Vampirism. Machine Man theorized that Bloodstorm's vampirism could be reversed through a simple blood transfusion from her still mortal counterpart in an alternate reality. As a reward for helping, she was cured of her vampiric state. Though it is never revealed whether or not the theoretical cure worked, or what effect this would have on her vampiric powers.
Towards Reality 616: Some months after the events of the Secret Wars, in which all of reality ceased to be, and was later remade, Bloodstorm found herself on a new reality, Earth 616. She soon encountered the time-displaced young X-Men of that reality and eventually joined them, together with Jimmy Hudson, forming the new X-Men Blue team.
Powers: Bloodstorm has the same powers as Earth-616 Storm, ability to manipulate weather patterns in her area to summon winds, rain, fog, snow, hail, thunder, or lightning, though amplified by her vampiric state.
Additionally, as a vampire, she has the standard vampiric traits such as superhuman strength, speed, endurance, and reaction time, ability to morph into a bat, wolf, or mist. She can summon and control vermin, and use a hypnotic stare to hold human beings enthralled. She must suck the blood of others to survive otherwise she is invulnerable to most forms of permanent injury.
Earth-983 ( What if the X-Men condemned Gambit to death?)
Storm and the rest of the X-Men battle Gambit until Storm gets the idea to put the fate of Gambit to a vote. Before judgment can be passed, Wolverine realizes that Gambit's fate should be decided in a trial by combat. After the X-Man Gambit was revealed to have had a past connection with their enemy, Mister Sinister, involving the creation of the Marauders, and their slaughter of the mutant Morlocks, Angel and Psylocke visited Papa Joe's Club to interrogate Gambit's adopted father, Jean-Luc LeBeau. Jean-Luc explained that he had no idea where Gambit had been, especially since the X-Men had dropped him in the Antarctic. The Angel and Psylocke then realized that Jean-Luc could only have known about the Antarctic had he spoken to Gambit. Jean-Luc begged for the X-Men to leave Gambit, as he could have died in the Antarctic, but the Angel and Psylocke claimed that it wasn't enough suffering for he had done to them.
Soon after they left the club, Angel and Psylocke were confronted by Wolverine, who reminded them that X-Men don't kill. Angel replied that it was funny coming from Wolverine and the X-Men also don't freelance to Mister Sinister. Wolverine agreed that Gambit screwed up big time, but Angel and Psylocke were not helping by going off on their own. He then warned that if the entire team didn't have a say in Gambit's judgment then he could not see the X-Men staying together as a team. Later, as Gambit awoke in Paris, Jean-Luc called Gambit and warned him that he had just been visited by some of the X-Men. Back in New York, Joseph informed Rogue that the X-Men were about to have a meeting concerning the fate of Gambit. He noticed that Rogue was looking up the Antarctic in an atlas and reminded that she couldn't punish herself because of the crimes Gambit had committed. Their conversation was soon interrupted by the Beast, who wanted to know what was keeping them.
At the meeting, Storm informed the others that Wolverine, Angel, and Psylocke were towards Paris, where they believed Gambit was hiding. While the others discussed Gambit's fate, Maggott,
Marrow, and Dr. Cecilia Reyes stood outside the door trying to listen in on the conversation. While Marrow argued with Maggott, Maggott's maggots ate their way through the door, revealing their presence outside. Storm invited the three newest X-Men into the room, where she announced that the X-Men had decided to send a team to Paris to pass final sentence on Gambit. In Paris, Gambit walked the streets, where he was attacked by Psylocke. As he tried to battle her, Angel arrived as well. The duo soon cornered Gambit, who explained that he had been cornered before and lived to tell about it. At that time, Storm and the other X-Men arrived on the scene to battle Gambit. Before Marrow could kill Gambit, Rogue knocked her away and Storm put a vote on the fate of Gambit. Bishop voted imprisonment, Marrow voted death, Iceman voted exile, but Wolverine explained to them that it was the Morlocks who suffered most from Gambit's actions. He suggested that Gambit's fate be decided by a trial by combat, as the Morlocks would have done. Marrow was the first to want to battle Wolverine, but the Angel announced that his hostility was more personal. Marrow then agreed to allow the Angel to battle Gambit. The two battled furiously until the Angel managed to pin Gambit to the ground, but he then let Gambit go free instead of killing him. The other X-Men prepared to let Gambit go, but Marrow killed Gambit anyway, unable to just let what she saw as a killer go free.
As Gambit died, he begged Rogue not to kiss him as that would allow her to absorb Gambit's feelings of guilt and cause her more emotional pain. Gambit dies, but not before urging the X-Men to come together and stop letting his own crime tear them apart. See: What If vol. 2 #106.
Earth-1610 (Ultimate Universe)
On Earth-1610 ( Ultimate Universe), Storm is a founding member of X-Men and had a relationship with first Beast, then Wolverine. See: Ultimate X-Men series. Storm was an illegal immigrant from Morocco who settled in Harlem New York. Using his Cerebro machine, Prof. X found Ororo in Athens, Texas where she'd been stealing cars for a living. When she took a 1978 Mustang for a joy ride, the police finally caught up with her. Pulling her over, Ororo used her powers to create a lightning storm so as to escape. Unfortunately, her control of her powers was limited, and she almost killed a group of children playing in a nearby playground; the police officers then subdued her. Per orders of Xavier, Jean Grey used her abilities to convince the Athens authorities that Ororo was actually an FBI agent and that she was sent to relieve them of the mutant. At first Ororo believed that Jean was another of Magneto's henchmen (apparently she had been contacted previously with an offer to join his Brotherhood), but Marvel Girl was there to offer her a place amongst Xavier's X-Men- a team of mutants gathered to halt the undeniable war that was brewing between humans and mutants whilst better mutants' standing in society.
Ororo joined the team not only to help further human/mutant relations but also to gain control of her powers. Shortly after joining the X-Men, Ororo, who was given the codename Storm, became interested in and began a relationship with fellow X-Man Henry "Hank" McCoy. She and Beast remained together for some time until Beast was killed during a mission. Beast's untimely death led Storm to become belligerent, bitter, and angry; she even drastically changed her personal appearance, altering her style to a punk-inspired look. After Beast's death, Storm took much time to heal emotionally. Eventually, Storm began to flirt with fellow X-Man Wolverine. Initially, Wolverine rejected her, saying that he was too old for her. Later when Wolverine leaves the X-Men Storm follows him and brings him back. When it is later revealed the Hank McCoy is still alive, Storm and Hank rekindle their relationship. The happiness doesn't last long, as Hank dies aging in the event of Ultimatum. Storm is one of the few X-Men to survive and is a key member in reforming the group afterwards.
Earth-9602 (Amalgam Comic)
Storm on Earth-9602 has been amalgamated with Wonder Woman (from the DC Universe) and is known as Amazon or Wonder Woman, having won that title in a fair contest against Diana. See: DC vs. Marvel #3, DC / Marvel All Access #4, Amazon #1, JLX: Unleashed #1, Bullets and Bracelets #1.
Amazon's ship was wrecked by an angered Poseidon and her parents were killed, but she was saved from drowning by the Amazon Queen Hippolyta. After being nursed back to health, she was raised by the Amazons, particularly by Queen Hippolyta, as a princess and as a sister to Diana (later known as Diana Prince). Ororo first learned the truth of her origin after an annoyed Diana taunted her with the fact that Ororo was not "a real amazon" -- the two scuffled, Ororo asserting that she was a real Amazon, but the fight was quickly broken up, at which point Hippolyta admitted that Ororo was an outsider adopted when she was just a small child.
See Amazon.
Powers
Ororo Munroe is a meta-mutant with the ability to control the weather. After the Amazons discovered Ororo's power to control the weather, they taught her to create a lasso with lightning that could make people tell the truth.

She was caught stealing from an older man named Herman Hassel, who turned out to be a retired thief himself. Herman took Storm under his wing, at which point she started calling herself Jack Black and accompanied Herman to New York, where they were thieves together. When Ororo was arrested, her claustrophobia caused her mutant weather powers to surface. Later, Ororo attacked the X-Men because they were threatening to Herman, who had stolen an important gem. Charles Xavier managed to calm Ororo down, perhaps particularly because Herman had taught her to be respectful towards elderly people, especially cripples.

- History
Origin Mistress of the Elements
Storm (Ororo Munroe) is a descendant of an ancient royal line of white-haired, blue-eyed sorceresses (possibly mutants), who's defining physical features surface every five generations. Her royal heritage can be traced back to the dawn of humanity. Her family's kingdom lies hidden in the Great Rift Valley of Africa, the valley that spawned the human race itself. The power in her family is transferred from mother to daughter. Her mother, Princess N'Dare, rebelled against their tradition as she felt that she was forced into the role that was expected of her. She then married an American photojournalist, David Munroe, and lived in Manhattan. They then moved to Cairo, Egypt when Ororo was still an infant. When Ororo was five, she and her family were caught in an Arab-Israeli conflict. Her parents were killed and Ororo ended up buried under rubble next to her mother's body. Because of this, Ororo has since had a life long struggle attempting to overcome her severe claustrophobia. Ororo was never sought after by her own people in fear for her own her safety as her own uncle, Shetani, who felt left out and wanted to rule, threatened that he would kill Ororo should her people even try to find her. Storm, by birth, is the rightful heir to her family's kingdom and to the oldest royal family on the face of the Earth.
Creation
Storm was created by the writer Len Wein and artist Dave Cockrum and made her first ever appearance in Giant Size X-Men # 1 in May 1975. Storm was created using different characters that were originally intended to be used in the Legion Of Superheroes comic book. During an interview in 1999, Len Wein explained that the original black female character of Legion would have been named The Black Cat and wore a similar costume to Storm but without the cape and sported cat-like haircut and ears. However, due to other female cat-like characters like Tigra appearing, Dave Cockrum decided to re-design the new character and give her white hair and a black cape and the name Storm.
Character Evolution
Goddess of the Plains
Since her introduction, Storm has always played a very prominent role in the world of the X-Men. In her early days after her first appearance she was a major character in the new team of X-Men following the relaunch of the mutant team in 1975. Then, perhaps her definitive role was as leader of the X-Men after Professor X went into space with the Starjammers for a time. She led the team through many huge challenges: the Mutant Massacre and Inferno to name but two, even through a long period when she had lost her powers. Following the return of Professor X, the X-Men were split into two teams, Gold (led by Storm) and Blue (led by Cyclops). During that period her closest male relationship was with Forge, however due to Storm being busy with the X-Men all the time, Forge felt left out and knew that her heart would always be with the X-Men and not with him which ended with the two breaking up. Following the discovery of Destiny's diaries, Storm led the X-Treme X-Men and then the X.S.E. teams. Most recently Storm has married Black Pantherand taken on a new leadership role in Wakanda.
Following the events of Doom War, both Storm and T'challa have left Wakanda for more heroic duties, Storm is now a main-stay member of the X-Men yet again and was in charge of the Utopia Security Team.
After the events of Schism, she stayed with Cyclops' team, but following the events of Avengers vs X-Men, she left his team to join Wolverine's school and his team there. Currently, she has formed a new X-Men team with Monet, Rachel Summers, Psylocke and Jubilee. Whether she stays on as leader or not is yet to be seen.
Major Story Arcs
Orphan in Cairo
Storm
As an orphan in Cairo, Ororo was forced to live on the streets. She was taken in by Achmed El-Gibar who taught her the many skills of thievery and hand to hand combat. While in Cairo, Storm has her first encounter with Charles Xavier, a powerful telepath who would go on to form the team of mutants called the X-Men. Through Ororo's attempt to pick Xavier's pocket, Charles meets the Shadow King. Storm also proves her skills as a thief by stealing a rare ruby-colored gem, the so-called "heart of eternal darkness" against Achmed's orders. Years later, it would be discovered that this stone contained the essence of the immortal mutant Candra.
Years later, Ororo leaves Egypt and returns to her ancestral homeland of Kenya. On the way there, Ororo accepts a ride with a man who attempts to rape her. Ororo killed the man with a knife, but swears never to take a life again. After nearly dying of thirst in the Sahara desert, Ororo learns that she has the power to control the weather. She also learns that South Africans, under the leadership of Andreas de Ruyter, were trying to kidnap Prince T'Challa of Wakanda, who was a little older than her. Storm uses her powers to help him escape, and the two travel together for a while, growing attracted to each other, but Ororo's dream and T'Challa's duty meant they couldn't be together yet.
Making her home in the Serengeti Plain in Kenya, Storm calls out to her goddess and is answered with the sight of a shining figure of a woman, who resembles her. Adopted as a goddess of life by the local tribes, Storm helps however she can, using her powers. The connection between the weather and her emotional state lead her to detach herself from stronger emotions as much as possible to protect the people. An elderly tribal woman, Ainet, helps her learn how to responsibly use her complex powers. A threat arises from a fellow mutant called Deluge, who wrested control over the weather from her in an attempt to revenge himself on humanity. Ororo managed to destroy Deluge and disperse the storm with the help of the X-Men, who were stranded in Kenya at that time. The X-Men inform Professor X about this promising mutant, however, he already knows of her, but hadn't contacted her before because he thought the cultural shock would be too much for her to handle.
Joining the X-Men
Eventually however, Xavier is left with no choice but to contact Ororo and ask her assistance in rescuing the X-Men, explaining to her that she was not a goddess but a mutant. Ororo agrees to join the X-Men and returns to live in America. The new X-Men's first mission tasks them with rescuing the original X-Men from the living island of Krakoa. Acclimatizing to life in America, Ororo was naive in the ways of the modern world; for example, she had no idea why there was any need for clothing, if one didn't feel cold.
Storm quickly makes friends among the X-Men, regarding them as family, with an especially strong bond of friendship with Jean Grey, who had helped Ororo in buying a new wardrobe. It was during one of their shopping tours that Jean learned of Storm's severe claustrophobia when the two women had chased a thief into a subway station.
Deadly GenesisX-Men
The X-Men are taken into space by the Sentinels and held as prisoners in Lang's sentinel factory above Earth. During their escape, they are forced to use a damaged space shuttle to reenter the Earth's atmosphere. With Jean as the only person on board who could survive long enough to pilot the ship by using her powers to shield herself from the heat and radiation, while everyone else must remain in the protection of the radiation room. Unknown to everyone, Jean is replaced by the Phoenix Force during the reentry and placed in a cocoon hidden away under the ocean water in the area where the shuttle crashed-landed. To take a break from all the stress, the team decides to go on vacation to Banshee's home, Cassidy Keep. When they get there they are attacked by Juggernautand Banshee's cousin Black Tom Cassidy. During the battle, Storm suffers an extreme bout of claustrophobia from being confined within the castle, but when she's finally able to make it outside she turns the battle in favor of the X-Men.
While still in Scotland, the X-Men go to Muir Island, to the lab of Moira McTaggert to check on her research. The facility is then attacked by Eric the Red, Havok and Polaris who take the infant Magneto and age him into his thirties when his powers are at their peak. Magneto easily defeats the entire team, helped by the fact that two of its strongest members are metal based.
Eric the Red reveals that he is actually a Shi'ar spy sent to Earth to capture the fugitive Princess Lilandra, who had been in psychic contact with Charles Xavier, and had fallen in love with each other. When Eric takes her back to Shi'ar space, Xavier sends the X-Men after them which leads them into battle against the entire Shi'ar Imperial Guard. After their battle, the X-Men, along with the Shi'ar ruler D'Ken, are sucked into the M'Kraan Crystal. Phoenix repairs the crystal, thus saving the universe. Storm and the rest of the X-Men return to Earth but are soon after kidnapped by Magneto and held prisoner in the Savage Land. Magneto punishes the team for his time stuck as an infant and binds them so they can't move or speak. However, Storm is able to use her skills as a master lock-picker to break the restraints and frees the rest of the team.
They then attack Magneto and he ends up destroying his hidden headquarters in an attempt to kill them. The X-Men are split into two groups, Phoenix and Beast are propelled out of the Savage Land to Antarcticaand the rest of the team is imprisoned underground in the Savage Land. Phoenix and Beast return to America believing their teammates killed, while Storm and the X-Men adapt to life in their temporary home in the village of Ka-Zar and help him defeat the tyrant Garokk. Garokk dies accidentally, however, Storm blames herself for his death, which leaves her traumatized since she had vowed never to take another life. Storm then distances herself from the other X-Men and wandered around the Savage Land on her own. During this time, she saves a mysterious woman, M'rin, from a savage beast. Finding herself in another fantastic dimension adjacent to the Savage Land, M'rin - who is this dimension's warrior queen - befriends Ororo and regards her as her surrogate daughter. Before Storm leaves, M'rin showed her how to use her mother's ruby crystal to open the dimensional gates and come visit her, if she wishes.
Asgardian Wars
As the X-Men leave the Savage Land aboard a raft, they are caught in a massive gale that brings them to Japan where Storm and the team help battle Moses Magnum. Flying back from Japan by plane, the team are blown off course and forced to land in Calgary, Alberta. Alpha Flight had been instructed to bring in Wolverine and were found to be responsible for misdirecting the X-Men's plane. The X-Men and Alpha Flight begin to battle. As the battle reaches its climax, Storm has to use her powers like never before to quell a blizzard summoned by Shaman that grows out of his control, spanning the size of the Canadian continent. While successful, the effort required leaves her physically exhausted. Back in New York, Storm decides to visit the apartment in Harlem where her parents fell in love and where she was born.
Arriving at the building where her family used to live, she is shocked to find out that it was now occupied by some drug addicted kids. She meets up with her friends, Misty Knight and Luke Cage, who remind her that there is only so much that superheroes can do. This causes Ororo to start to doubt her life as an X-Man. Some time later, Storm is kidnapped by Arkon the Imperion, emperor of the other-dimensional world of Polemachus, who wanted someone with control over lightning to restore the machine that powered the energy-rings around their world. Ororo is willing to help, even though it would have cost her life. With the aid of the other X-Men, any loss of life was avoided. This adventure reminded her that life as an X-Man was more than just one battle after the next.
When a new student, the teenager Kitty Pryde, joins the X-Men, Ororo develops motherly feelings towards the girl, whose parents' marriage was disintegrating. Around the same time as this, Storm is captured and humiliated by the telepathic White Queen (Emma Frost) who telepathically probes Ororo for information on the X-Men. When the rest of the team assaults the building where the White Queen was keeping Storm prisoner, the White Queen becomes angry and almost wipes Storm's mind, but is prevented by the intervention of Phoenix.
Doom
The Transformation
After the death of Jean Grey, Cyclops leaves the team and Storm is appointed team leader by Professor Xavier, a role she is unsure about at first. Soon after this, the X-Men free the villain, Arcade, from Dr. Doom (actually, a very convincing Doom-bot) in order to get their friend Stevie Hunter back. Doom and Ororo feel some attraction towards each other; however, Doom still traps her and her fellow mutants and transforms Storm into a statue of organic chrome.
For a claustrophobic, this was a nightmare come true. Subconsciously, she started to warp weather patterns all over the world, creating a giant thunderstorm. When her teammates finally free her, she is immensely more powerful and close to insanity in her rage. The other X-Men make her realize she is heading down the same path as Phoenix had. They get though to her and she reins in her power, stops the storm, and spares Doom's life. When Storm brings Kitty to the White Queen's Massachusetts Academy per Kitty's parents' wishes, the White Queen uses a device to switch bodies with Storm. After switching back to their respective bodies, it still takes Storm some time to convince Kitty that it was really her stuck inside Emma Frost's body. With their personalities restored again, Storm almost kills Emma in the final battle, but Wolverine holds her back and reminds her that she is better than that. Storm is then ambushed by an assassin hired by the Bull. Teaming up with the Black Panther, her first love, they locate the Bull, and defeat the Bull's robot. This also kills The Bull himself as he was psychically connected to the robot.
Storm and Arkon
Later, Ororo and the team join the Fantastic Four and return to Polemachus, the world ruled by Arkon. The Badoon had invaded and taken control of Polemachus, and had taken Reed and Arkon prisoner. The teams defeat the Badoon and save both Arkon and Reed. A short time later, Storm is attacked by Dracula and turned into a vampire. Proving her strength of will rivaled his own, Storm gains the respect of Dracula who promises to relinquish his hold on her. However, Dracula later attacks Storm again, breaking his promise. He wanted to use her skills as a thief to steal a book from a monastery containing a spell that could kill him.
Dracula's daughter Lilith takes control of Kitty Pryde and takes vampiric control of Colossus, in pursuit of Storm. Kitty and Colossus ambush Storm who flash-freezes Colossus but is injured by a crossbow bolt from Kitty. Dracula saves Storm and the X-men later arrive to assist her in defeating him. Dracula is seemingly destroyed by Kitty (Lilith) reading the Montesi Formula. With his apparent death, his hold over Storm is released.
Quest for Magik
Storm's Mystic Heritage
The X-Men continue on their many adventures. Travelling to Limbo to rescue Illyana (Magik), Ororo meets an elderly version of herself. The older Ororo's mutant powers have waned with age, instead, she has turned to the other side of her heritage, becoming a powerful sorceress and challenging Belasco's rule over Limbo.
The Brood then attack the X-Men, implanting them with their eggs. Storm flees from the others in a spaceship when she begins to transform into a new Brood. She uses her powers to channel nearby stars energies into her body, killing the Brood embryo and nearly killing herself. Adrift in space, she is then saved by Prophetsinger of the Acanti, a Whale-like species of space creatures who were enslaved by the Brood and used as huge living Starships. After destroying the Brood homeworld, back on Earth Storm and her team are confronted by Professor Xavier, who was the host for a Brood Queen. Again they defeat the Brood, and Professor Xavier is transferred into a cloned body. Ororo's powers briefly flare out of control and she feels that the Earth has "rejected her" – the recent encounter with the Brood had caused her inner harmony of body and soul to shift out of balance.
When Storm, Wolverine and Carol Danvers infiltrate the Pentagon to erase their data files, they meet Rogue, who had permanently absorbed Carol's powers. A fierce fight ensues, with Rogue absorbing Wolverine's and then Storm's powers only to be overwhelmed by this power. Storm traps Rogue within a tornado and removes her from the Pentagon so the team could escape and to protect the staff at the Pentagon. Soon after, Rogue comes to the X-Men for help controlling her powers, Xavier agrees and allows her to join the team.
Storm's new look
Storm is angered by this decision but is able to set aside her feelings and accept Rogue. Angel then is kidnapped by the Morlocks and the X-Men go to rescue him. Storm challenges the Morlock's leader, Callisto, to a duel for leadership, defeating Callisto by stabbing her through the heart. Storm then becomes the leader of the Morlocks. When the team later goes to Japan to attend Wolverine's wedding, Storm meets Yukio, a self proclaimed ronin who becomes one of Storm's closest friends. Yukio's devil-may-care free-spirited attitude triggered a dramatic change in Storm, resulting in Storm acquiring a mohawk, a new leather-clad look, and a more aggressive attitude.
Storm and several members of the X-Men are abducted by the Beyonder and, joining with other heroes, are forced to battle a cadre of villains on Battleworld. Back on Earth, during a mission to help Rogue, Storm is shot by a power neutralizer meant for Rogue, and she loses her powers. She goes to the home of the mutant Forge to recuperate and, during this time, they fall in love. When Storm later discovers that the power neutralizer was created by Forge, she feels betrayed and ends their relationship, leaving the X-Men for Africa where she meets Andrea and Andreas Von Strucker. Storm battles the twins to protect a local woman but is grazed on the temple by a bullet and is knocked out. Awakening, she travels across a desolate plain of Africa, encountering a woman in labor whom she helps give birth at the woman's village. Storm comes to terms with the loss of her powers and goes to Cairo where she helps the New Mutants defeat the Shadow King.
Storm and the New Mutants are all then transported to Asgard by Loki, in yet another scheme of his to take over Asgard. The X-Men travel to Asgard to rescue them. Loki tempts Storm with the title of the Goddess of Thunder and gives her Freya's Cloak of Magic Feathers and a mystically enhanced hammer. At first, she attacks Wolverine, but he's able to help Storm see through Loki's deception. She then returns to Earth with her team. Upon her return, Storm learns that Magneto had been appointed Headmaster of the school by Professor X. Cyclops had returned to the X-men while Storm was on Asgard and resumed leadership of the team, but Storm challenges Cyclops in a duel for leadership and defeats him.
Mutant Massacre
Sometime later, the mutant geneticist Mister Sinister sends his Marauders to exterminate the Morlocks. The X-Men quickly venture into the underground tunnels to investigate. They save a few survivors, but several X-Men suffer horrific injuries when the team encounters the killers. Storm feels she had failed as a leader, but Callisto slaps her back to her senses and into taking up her responsibilities again.
Fall of the Mutants
With more and more enemies of mutantkind in general rallying against them, the Hellfire Club proposes an alliance with the X-Men, offering Magneto the seat of the White King. After discussing this with Ororo, he accepts, with his own condition that he and Storm would jointly assume the title of the White King. However, Ororo would not be available for much longer. The Marauder Malice's attempt to possess the body of Dazzler and the bombing of the house of Jean Grey's sister, Sara, indicates that somebody is trying to get to the X-Men by harming their friends and families. As these enemies would apparently only stop once the X-Men were dead, Storm decides to go underground, naming Wolverine as Deputy Leader. Storm travels to Dallas seeking Forge's help. Finding his home derelict, she meets who she thinks is his old mentor Nazé. Nazé tells her that Forge (a powerful, but reluctant, Shaman) has probably been claimed by his nemesis, the Adversary, and will try to destroy the world in his name. Storm accompanies Nazé (really a Dire Wraith who had previously disguised itself as Naze and now serving as host for the Adversary) on a dangerous quest to find Forge. Storm starts to admit to herself that she still loves Forge, but is convinced that he has gone evil, thanks to Nazé's subtle manipulations. She confronts Forge on a mountain, surrounded by demons, with a gate to another dimension above him, and stabs him, only then realizing that he had in fact been trying to close the gate and save Earth.
In Dallas, time and space suddenly go crazy. Meanwhile Storm and the heavily injured Forge find themselves transported to another Earth, devoid of any human life. After spending a year there, they realize that the Adversary is giving them the chance to become parents to a new humanity on this world while destroying their own. The two decide that they have to try and save their own Earth. Forge uses the technology in his artificial leg to create an anti-Neutralizer, giving Storm back her powers. She uses her lightning is to energize a portal back to Earth. The magical spell to counter the one Forge cast many years ago, which had freed the Adversary, needs nine souls to give it energy. Thus, the X-Men and their companion Madelyne Pryor, on live TV, sacrifice themselves for Forge's spell. Secretly the X-Men are returned to life by Roma, and following Storm's original plan, let everybody believe they are still dead in order to better strike at their enemies. The team relocates to the former hideout of the Reavers, in the Australian Outback. Storm gets the chance to reacquaint herself with her foster mother, M'rin, after freeing Garrok from the influence of Terminus in the Savage Land.
Inferno
Lil' Storm & Gambit
When Madelyne Pryor, with S'ym and N'astirh release a demon invasion of Earth, the X-Men meet X-Factor (the original 5 X-Men) for the first time. Some initial tension is soon overcome and Storm is happily reunited with her best friend. Storm destroys the demon N'astirh by overloading his circuitry with her lightning. Cyclops is shocked that Storm just wanted to get the job done, by any means necessary. Back at their headquarters in the Australian Outback, the X-Men are attacked by the psychotic Nanny and her underling, the Orphan Maker, who capture Storm and fake her death with the help of a SHIELD life model decoy. The villains escape and, once back at their base, Nanny physically and mentally reduces Storm to her pre-teens to better control her. However, Storm's claustrophobia gives her the strength to overload Nanny's systems and she escapes. The now approximately 11-12 year old Ororo finds herself in the city of Cairo, Illinois with no memories of her time with the X-Men or even why she was in America.
Her powers barely worked at this time, due to her youth. The Shadow King takes this opportunity to hunt her down. Taking over the body of FBI agent Jacob Reisz, he frames Ororo for murder. During a stint as a thief, which is all she knew at this age, the Shadow King has his agents waiting for Ororo, but she's saved by a fellow mutant and thief named Gambit. Gambit is intrigued by Ororo and they form a partnership, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Nanny finds them again, but they manage to beat her and destroy her aircraft, while at the same time reactivating Storm's memories of what had happened to her and who she really was. Gambit and Storm are reunited with Banshee and Forge at the X-Mansion, as well as with the New Mutants, Cable and X-Factor. Tests reveal that Ororo is stuck at this young age, not able to grow or age and without full access to her powers.
X-Tinction Agenda
The Genoshan government, working together with old X-Factor enemy, Cameron Hodge, plan to destroy the various X-Teams as revenge for an earlier defeat. They kidnap Storm and several New Mutants. In custody, Storm undergoes the conditioning process that the Genoshans had developed to turn mutants or mutates into obedient, mindless slaves. She is stripped of free will and is called Mutate 20. However, Genegineer Moreau and Chief Magistrate Anderson are among the faction working against Hodge and use Storm in a Trojan Horse gambit against him. When Storm attacks Cyclops on Anderson's orders, Storm not only regains both her faculties and her adult body, she's also given the means to reactivate the neutralized powers of the other captured X-Men.
Muir Island Saga and X-men Gold Team
Gold Team
Back on Muir Island, the Shadow King takes over the minds of the residents of the Research Facility. Several X-Men are captured by the residents when they try to stop the Shadow King. Professor Xavier, back on Earth, enlists the help of both X-Factor and SHIELD. After the villain was defeated, the original five X-Men rejoin. Storm is made leader of the so-called Gold Team. The arrival of the new X-Man Bishop from the future further strains the relationship between Storm and Forge, a relationship that was already on the rocks. Forge proposes to Storm, but Ororo hesitates. Jean Grey refuses to tell Forge about Storm's true feelings, and he becomes convinced that Storm didn't love him and could never be a complete person outside the X-Men.
He retracts his proposal and leaves to help Mystique, although it turns out that Storm would have said "yes." After an incident in which Mikhail Rasputin, Colossus' mad brother, floods the Morlock tunnels, apparently killing them all, Forge invites Storm to dinner where they make up. While they don't fully resume their relationship, they remain more than friends.
Return to the Morlocks
Marrow's Heart
As it turns out, Mikhail in actuality, had transported the Morlocks to another dimension, where time passes faster than on Earth. Children had grown up in the time since the X-Men saw them last and one group called the Gene Nation, led by Marrow – wanted revenge on the humans who had shunned the Morlocks while on Earth. They plan another massacre on the anniversary of the Morlock Massacre. Storm confronts Marrow, and in single combat cuts out the girl's heart, before the bomb attached to it could explode. Unaware of the fact that Marrow had survived, as she actually had two hearts, Storm is deeply troubled by her choice, feeling that she was incapable of making long-term decisions. While celebrating the Ceremony of Light as a remembrance ritual in the Morlock tunnels, she is teleported away by Mikhail Rasputin to his other dimension, where she was to become "mother" to the Morlocks. Storm learns that Rasputin actually backed Gene Nation. She forces him to return all the surviving Morlocks back to Earth and gives the Gene Nation members a choice. Either help rebuild the impoverished African village she had once visited – or else.
Storm then presented a new look to her teammates. During that time Storm also called off her on-again-off-again relationship with Forge for good, since she couldn't imagine a long-term future with him and started a subtle flirtation with Cable instead. Storm once more confronted Candra – who had by now learned that Storm had stolen her heart as a child – over the fate of the children Jamil and Karima. After facing several old foes and friends who couldn't possibly be there, Storm realized that Karima was a powerful mutant with the ability to make desires real and that Jamil was only an expression of her own desires. When Cyclops destroyed the ruby that contained Candra's essence, Storm's opponent perished and Ororo returned Karima home.
After Cyclops and Phoenix leave the team to recuperate, Storm is left, once again, as leader of the X-Men which now includes Marrow, who tries to provoke her at every point and whose very presence reminds Storm of her own failures. Storm and Marrow make peace though, thanks in part to Marrow's burgeoning friendship with Cannonball. Following the restructuring of the X-Men, Storm takes a less active role and joins a division of the X-Men that travels around the world to face new threats in Venice, Italy, and Russia.
X-Treme X-Men
X-Treme X-Men
Shortly after Storms brief leave of absence, the X-Men learn of the Diaries of the late precog Destiny, which chronicled the future. With only one book in their possession, Ororo realizes that the Diaries are too dangerous a weapon to be trusted to Charles Xavier following the incident with Onslaught. Planning to find the rest of the Diaries, Ororo asks Tessa AKA Sage to be among her group as her analytical skills would be needed to make sense of the cryptic prophecies. However, the team is beset with difficulties from the very beginning, not the least of which is the death of Storm's teammate Psylocke at the hands of Vargas, who claims to be the true Homo Superior. Gambit asks Storm for the ruby she had inherited from her mother, which is part of a mysterious powerful group of gems called the Madripoor set. The ruby, as well as the other gems, is stolen by the other-dimensional warrior Shaitan, who also abducts Gambit. Shaitan uses the gems and Gambit's power to create a portal - a giant space needle in the making - to allow the other-dimensional armies of his master Khan, a conqueror of whole universes, to enter Madripoor. At the same time, a force field prevents other heroes from entering Madripoor to help.
After Storm saves Khan's life from Madripoor crime lord Viper, Khan becomes obsessed with Storm, recognizing in her a kindred spirit and an equal. When Viper strikes Ororo in the back, leaving her for dead, Khan takes her with him to another dimension, saved her life and was going to make her his queen. Storm tried to convince him to stop his attempted conquest of Earth. Meanwhile, the other X-Men race against time trying to find Storm and to stop Khan's troops from gaining access to Earth. Khan's concubines jealously try to murder Storm but she defeats them despite her injuries. Together, the X-Men manage to successfully stop the Invasion by sabotaging Khan's castle and blowing up the inter-dimensional portal, seemingly blowing Khan's ship up in the process. Ororo's serious injuries cause her to collapse and have a near death experience, but she regains consciousness and goes through physical therapy treatment for her back and legs. With their mission to find the Diaries ended (since Rogue now had access to them, thanks to her powers), the other X-Men ask Storm's team to return to the mansion. Storm, Sage and Bishop, however, feel that someone has to defend the rights of humans and make sure that they could all co-exist peacefully. Storm and Gambit infiltrate a meeting of world leaders on mutant policy at the President's home. Storm makes Val Cooper, Alexi Vazjin and several other politicians an offer: she suggests a special police task force of mutants policing mutants, with worldwide authority – the X.S.E. The idea is given a green light but, as a test, she is sent to Tokyo to apprehend the extra-dimensional slaver, Tullamore Voge. There she meets with her good friend Yukio. At a nightclub, Storm intervenes in a mutant vs. mutant fight in an underground arena and unwittingly became the new champion. Excited by the thrill and the rush, Ororo returns and fights Callisto. This battle turned out to be a trap as Callisto had acquired new powers - tentacles in the place of her arms - and the fight was only a distraction for Storm to be defeated psychically by operatives of Callisto's master, Masque.
Storm and Callisto then outwardly live as champions, while remaining the slaves of Masque. However, they defeat Masque before they can be sold as slaves to Tullamore Voge. Storm hands over control of the arenas to Callisto, to form them into an organization offering safe harbor to mutants all over the world. Voge escapes, but his activities in Tokyo are brought to an end, so the X.S.E. are given the go-ahead. After returning to her teammates, Ororo learns of the devastation in Manhattan at the hands of a madman claiming to be Magneto. She also learns of the death of Jean Grey. Storm's team returns to Westchester to help rebuild the Xavier Institute, which now houses both the X-Men and the X.S.E. Professor Xavier departs for Genosha while Cyclops and Emma Frost function as Headmasters of the Institute.
The X.S.E.
Storm and Wolverine
The X.S.E. is given global authority as a mutant police force to maintain peace between humans and mutants. Storm is field leader with Bishop, Sage, Cannonball, Marvel Girl (Rachel Grey), Nightcrawler and Wolverine as team members. They easily beat the Weaponeers, a group of arms dealing terrorists, in the Sahara desert. Their next mission is against the extra-dimensional Fury, a super-adaptive robot with immense power. The Fury defeats the combined forces of Bishop, Marvel Girl and Cannonball at Captain Britain's ancestral home, and then takes control of Sage through her cyber glasses. Storm is able to overcome this by absorbing lightning into herself. Storm, Wolverine and Nightcrawler find that Sage is too difficult a challenge to overcome, but Fury's control over Sage is weakened and she is able to free herself after being hit by an EMP from Storm. While the Fury is briefly neutralized, Storm, Bishop, Sage and Marvel Girl, combine powers to create a miniature black hole in which they trap it.
En route to dinner with the Queen of England, the team is ambushed and kidnapped by Viper in revenge for her defeat during Khan's invasion and takes them to Murderworld while threatening to kill the Queen of England. The team manages to escape and their powers return. Viper had in actuality kidnapped one of the Queen's maids. The maid was trapped in an amusement park ride with a baby nuke that would explode if anyone entered. Nightcrawler teleports into the pod and saves the maid while Storm's air pressure field contains the nuclear blast long enough to save everyone.
Storm and Logan go on a date but are interrupted when they hear of some murders that implicate Wolverine due to some suspicious claw marks. They investigate and find X-23, the killer, at a nightclub. X-23 escapes after slashing Wolverine. Storm and Rachel catch up to X-23 and neutralize her, learning her identity and that she was actually on the trail of the Bacchae. The Bacchae - a team of women warriors - are defeated by Storm's team, thus freeing a man that was a friend of X-23. The team are then attacked by Geech, who defeats most of the team before Storm and Wolverine finally beat him. They then set about finding Sage, who did not return after their encounter with Viper. Storm and Bishop find Sage at the Paris branch, dressed in her old Hellfire Club garments standing with Sebastian Shaw and Sunspot, the club's latest Black King. The Cleaning Crew led by Donald Pierce, the club's White Bishop, attack but Storm manages to escape. Storm, Wolverine and Nightcrawler join the battle and defeat Donald Pierce, knocking off Pierce's head, but not before suffering serious injuries. Sage decides to remain with the Hellfire Club to assist Roberto DeCosta (Sunspot).
Travelling to Spain, the team find Psylocke alive after her death at the hands of Vargas. With Psylocke they travel to the Savage Land to find that Wolverine and X-23, who had stowed away in Logan's ship in order to go with him, are under attack. Storm and Rachel neutralize the attackers - the Hauk'ka, a race of Saurians - with a combination of blinding snow and sensory perception alteration. However, a team of super powered Saurians - Kaidan, with powerful telepathic powers, Raina, with super strength, and Masano, who could fly, take down the mutants and the team is captured and imprisoned. Using Rachel to amplify her powers, Storm was being used to generate massive hyper storms all around the world to destroy all human life on the planet. Psylocke and X-23 manage to save Bishop and Nightcrawler, and together with Kazar and the Savage Land Mutates, they capture Raina, Masano and Kaidan, and convince them that only mutual destruction is assured by their storms. They agree to join with the X-Men to save the world. Brainchild, who lied to them about saving Storm, is taken down by X-23 and Kaidan reverses his effect on Rachel. Together, Storm and Rachel are able to stop the hyper storms, and save the world.
Back at the Xavier Institute, Storm is reunited with Colossus, believed dead after his heroic suicide sometime before. The team is then attacked by Mojo and Spiral, who teleport in with Nocturne and Juggernaut. Spiral uses her magic to transform the team into the X-Babies, but Psylocke helps them to escape. The team then fight the Exiles, who are under Mojo's control. Once they are defeated, Juggernaut takes down Spiral, and then Mojo is subsequently defeated by the X-Men.
Wakanda and Marriage
Storm's marriage to the Black Panther
When the Scarlet Witch becomes insane she creates an alternate world in which all mutants had their wishes fulfilled. After being brought back to reality she goes into shock and depowers the majority of the world's mutants. The X.S.E. cease operations, and Ororo returns to Africa in order to protect former mutants. During this time, Ororo is reunited with T'Challa, the Black Panther and King of Wakanda. T'Challa proposes to her and Ororo accepts. Their marriage coincides with the superhuman Civil War brewing in America, and their wedding is riddled with disagreement and fighting between heroes on both sides. After their wedding, Storm and T'Challa go on a royal world tour. Their first stop is Dr. Doom's castle in Latveria at Doom's request. After battling a legion of Doombots, they escape and visit Namor in Atlantis, who does not receive them well. Then they fly to the moon to visit the Inhumans royal family.
Civil War
Storm and Black Panther- Rulers of Wakanda
While visiting the Inhumans Royal Family, they were all attacked because of Quicksilver's recent theft of the Terrigen Mists. While the fighting was stopped, they left with the looming threat of war between the Inhumans and Earth. Lastly, they stopped in America where they were set up and attacked by Tony Stark and the Sentinels of ONE. Storm and T'Challa decided to stay, and have expressed support for Captain America's rebellion against the Super-Human Registration Act. At the conclusion of Civil War, Storm and her husband make a temporary home in the Baxter Building and fill in for Reed and Sue Richards of the Fantastic Four. When Reed and Sue return, Ororo and T'Challa moved back to Wakanda.
Dark Reign
T'Challa is viciously attacked by Dr. Doom and his forces and is left in a coma. During his time in recovery, Storm takes political control of Wakanda and nominates Shuri to go before the Panther God. As Shuri goes on her quest to seek the Panther God's approval, Ororo and Queen Mother, Ramonda, seek out the help of the witch doctor Zawavari. Because of her spirit and strong connection to T'Challa, it was decided that Zawavari would use his magic to send Ororo into limbo so that she could rescue her husband. In limbo, T'Challa is successfully fighting off death and his forces, but it soon becomes too much, and he is about to be dragged off into the next life. Suddenly, a powerful wind sent all of his enemies flying away from him and Storm appears with lightning in both hands. In a bid to free T'Challa, Storm levels Death and his minions with a fierce wind attack and reveals that the only way she could save T'Challa was to give her life in his place. Fortunately for the both of them, Shuri, his sister and the new Black Panther, is able to lure and trap Morlun in their place, saving them both.
Doom War and Loss of Husband
Storm Vs. Vibranium Kracken
While T'Challa recovered he secretly prepares for war with Doom after realizing that Wakanda was already under attack. Storm meanwhile, used her powers to save the crops in the country but could not ascertain why they were still dying. In an unexpected confrontation with a mob, Storm blasted an angry farmer with lightning when he appeared to have drawn a weapon on her and was put on trial for crimes of treason, practicing witchcraft and crimes against humanity, and was imprisoned. Storm used her lockpicking skills as a former thief to pick the lock on her cell, but was captured by Doctor Doom, and forced to pick the lock to the vibranium vault under threat of the Queen mother and others being killed. Storm managed to pick all but the last of the locks before T'Challa finally reached Doom and Storm, who was released as Doom passed the final lock and met the Panther God.
Doom passes the test by convincing the Panther God of his vision of humanity in his "Doom World". Storm, Black Panther (Shuri), the Dora Milaje and the Fantastic Four (Sue, Johnny and Ben) attack networks and vibranium storage facilities throughout the world. While on this mission, Storm and her team of Dora Milaje are surprise attacked by a massive vibranium-enhanced Kracken, but Storm successfully defeated it. Becoming one with the alien metal, Doom used his power to control any object or structure that contains vibranium to initiate attacks worldwide. Launching a final offensive, the team met Doom on the battlefield, and T'Challa used shadow physics to combine alchemy with quantum science in a way that would make vibranium useless, instantly defeating Doom. Storm destroys all the doombots in a massive multi-pronged lightning strike. Storm returns to Wakanda with her husband, storing the planet's remaining portions of the recovered pure vibranium.
After T'Challa abdicated his throne at the conclusion of Doom War, he left his homeland and took Daredevil's place as the protector of Hell's Kitchen. Though Storm initially agreed to stay apart from her husband and promised to not interfere in T'Challa's mission of self-discovery, Storm broke her promise and had Pixie teleport her to Hells Kitchen to save T'Challa from a fatal fall. Storm and T'Challa worked together to take down Kraven and save a boy, Brian, who was the reason T'Challa and Kraven had come into conflict.
Astonishing X-Men
Saving Abigail
Storm continued to be an active member of the X-Men, fighting alongside both the Astonishing and Uncanny teams. Storm helps save SWORD agent Abigail Brand from certain death while plummeting toward Earth after her starship was damaged. It is then revealed that someone had hacked into the research files that Beast maintained in reference to his attempts to find ways to reactivate the mutant gene. The culprit, only identified as Kaga. Storm, the X-Men and Agent Brand gain entrance into one of Kaga's transport vessels and, after being attacked, managed to find and defeat him.
Storm later lead a team of X-Men that consisted of Beast, Kitty Pryde, Colossus and Lockheed, into space to save Hank's girlfriend Abigail Brand, who along with several scientists and other agents aboard an off-shoot S.W.O.R.D. space station, had been taken and infected by the Brood. The Brood was using special S.W.O.R.D. technology that could safely and repeated remove the Brood progeny from a single host to repopulate their species. After repelling several attacks, and overcoming their own planned Brood infections, the team defeated the Brood, with Storm killing one of the queens with a lightning bolt, reversed their infections, and saved a new species of Brood that could peacefully co-exist with other life forms (later became Broo at the Jean Grey School For Gifted Youngsters).
Second Coming
Fighting the Nimrods
When Storm, along with other members of the X-Men, is made aware of Cyclops' black ops team, X-Force, she is disgusted by the idea that he would put such a team together but, due to the situation at hand, she leaves it alone, promising to have a long talk with him after the current events are handled. It appears that Bastion, has assembled some of the X-Men's deadliest adversaries in an all-out effort to destroy the mutant race. The cabal includes Cameron Hodge, William Stryker, Graydon Creed and Steven Lang and a large army of anti-mutant soldiers and powerful Sentinels from a future timeline. Trapped in a nearly indestructible dome of energy among her fellow mutants with a portal connected to the timeline bringing in more sentinel units, Storm battles on the front lines.
She is nearly killed but saved by Hope. At the conclusion, Storm approaches both Cyclops and Wolverineabout X-Force. She tells Wolverine that X-Men don't kill and that his actions make him no better than the enemy. Logan tells her that if he had the chance he'd do it all over again. She sits down to have a beer with him and tells him that this could be the last drink they will ever share.
Regenesis - X-Men
Cyclops appointed Storm as leader of the security team, which consisted of Psylocke, Warpath, Jubilee, Domino and Colossus. The team was dispatched to retrieve Domino, whom they had lost contact with when she was attacked during a mission in Kupernicstan involving a sentinel smuggling ring. As they approached their destination, the team was confronted and told to leave the area by War Machine. Feining compliance Storm and her team proceeded to Kupernicstan anyway but was confronted a second time by a then agitated War Machine. After coming to an understanding, War Machine helped Storm's team battle the sentinels, which were launched in a large army to destroy Kupernicstan's neighboring country Symkaria, long enough for the rest of the team to defeat the rogue military group and deactivate the sentinels.
At the end of their battle in Kupernicstan, Storm discovered Jubilee was missing and set out with her team to find her. After weeks of searching, Jubilee was found to be on a remote island in China with a group of vampires called The Forgiven. Storm ordered her team to take down the vampires, with Storm battling Nighteyes, but Jubilee ended the conflict before it further escalated. As the two teams talked they discovered that the island was swarmed by various groups of assassins for hire, who had come to kill Raizo Kodo, leader of The Forgiven. Combining their efforts, the team defeated the assassins, with Jubilee choosing to stay with The Forgiven for the foreseeable future.
Learning of mysterious sightings of monsters across the globe Storm's security team, which consists of Psylocke, Domino, Pixie and Colossus began to investigate. After they secured a sample and used resources outside of the X-Men to analyze their findings, Storm discovered that these monsters were actually "proto-mutants", a genetic offshoot of the mutant species that were slaughtered centuries before, and that an unknown enemy, David Michael Gray, was recreating them in his secret lab. Considering the magnitude of this discovery, Storm chose to keep her findings a secret from Cyclops, which brought her into conflict with some of her team members. The team managed to secure one of the proto-mutants and learned of Dr.Gray's location, but arrived too late to stop him from killing himself and all of the proto-mutants. Storm finally reported the team's failure to Cyclops, and after a heated conversation, Storm and the team went in pursuit of their sample and recovered it, which had been stolen and placed into the hands of the Heavenly Path. They then encountered one of the original proto-mutants, Gabriel Shepard, who abruptly left the team after discovering what Dr.Gray did to his race. The internal tension between the team members, as a result of the conflict between Storm and Cyclops, continued to escalate, leading to an altercation between Storm and Colossus, and leaving the remaining team members disillusioned and unsure of the team's future.
Regenesis - Uncanny X-Men
After the events of Schism split the X-Men into two separate factions, Storm, who explained to Cyclops that she was not fully in agreement with the direction he was taking the X-Men, was preparing to leave Utopia and join Wolverine's team of X-Men when Scott pleaded with her to stay. The team consisted of Magneto, Magik, Colossunaut, Namor, Danger and Emma Frost, he explained that he needed her to remain on Utopia to help him maintain control of what could be a potential disaster. Convinced by his compelling explanation, Storm agreed to remain on Utopia, and to be his second in command in the field. Cyclops met with Storm, Namor, Magneto, Colossus, Emma Frost, Hope, Danger and Magik and informs them that they will be the new Extinction team, the premiere and most powerful superhero team in the world. The team has taken on Sinister, the Phalanx and battled the "Bad Apex" in Tabula Rasa, where Storm ended the conflict by making the Apex see the error of his ways. At the conclusion of Avengers vs X-Men the Extinction team disbanded. Storm joined Wolverine at the Jean Grey School and is now the school's Headmistress.
Joining The Avengers
Storm as an Avenger
Looking to replenish the ranks of the Avengers, Captain America approached the Black Panther, who declined Steve's offer to return to the team but recommended Storm for membership. Calling Storm to Avengers' Mansion, which was swarming with the media and public supporters of the heroes, Captain America asked Storm to join the team. This short-lived Avengers team consisted of Storm, Captain America, Iron Man, Red Hulk, The Protector, Spider-Woman, Hawkeye, Quake and Vision. The press conference was interrupted by a holographic image of Norman Osborn, who accused the Avengers of a litany of criminal offenses against him, and that H.A.M.M.E.R. would rise to challenge the Avengers. Captain America had the Avengers begin an immediate search for Osborn's whereabouts, teaming Storm up with Red Hulk, but all of them were surprised attacked and held captive by Osborn's H.A.M.M.E.R forces. They were eventually freed by Quake, and Storm and the Avengers defeated Osborn and shut down his bases of operation. The team also went on to defeat another faction of AIM.
Avengers Vs X-Men
The marriage's end
With the anticipated return of the potentially world ending threat of the Phoenix Force, the Avengers organized and planned an attack to attempt to defeat the Phoenix and take it's intended host, Hope, into protective custody. Believing that the Phoenix Force could reboot the mutant species, Cyclop's has the X-Men fight the Avengers to keep Hope with them, putting Storm in a difficult position of having to choose sides. Though she sided with the X-Men at the start of the conflict, Storm found her husband and asked that he help her find a way to end the conflict, but T'Challa refused, and Storm replied that his pigheaded stubbornness is the reason the couple were in marriage counselling. As the conflict escalated, a small team of X-Men travelled to Wakanda in an effort to locate Hope and encountered a team of Avengers, which included the Black Panther. Both he and Storm engaged each other in combat. At the climax of their fight, after being angered by T'Challa actually having a contingency plan in place to combat his own wife, Storm told T'Challa he was a terrible husband and threw her wedding ring to the ground. It is revealed in Avengers vs. X-Men # 9 that the Black Panther, after a Phoenix empowered Namor attacked and almost destroyed Wakanda , has annulled his marriage to Storm. Despite this, Storm, still assisted the Avengers with rescuing their captured teammates, who were imprisoned by the Phoenix imbued Colossus and Magik, and continued to fight on their side to help defeat the Phoenix Five.
Uncanny X-Force Now
Storm is co-leading a new X-Force team with Psylocke. At Wolverine's request Storm and Psylocke aided Puck on a mission that brought them in contact with Spiral. After capturing Spiral, who was taking care of a young mutant girl Ginny, the team encounters a possessed Bishop. Bishop was after Ginny and captured her, but with Spiral's teleportation power they caught up with him and eventually defeated him. One of the revenant forces that possessed Bishop then possessed Ginny and disappeared. Storm and Psylocke went into Bishop's mind and saved him from the Demon Bear that was still inside him. Under the leadership of the Owl Queen, who had taken possession of Ginny, the team was then attacked and captured by an army of revenants, though with Storm's help Bishop managed to escape. The Owl Queen had the revenants of each of the team brought out of them, but once Bishop returned and freed them the team killed their own revenants. For the accomplishment of killing her own revenant Storm was christened by Bishop as a Holy Revenant Hunter of the Order. The Owl Queen turned out to be Cassandra Nova and she tried to lead an invasion of the earth by an army of revenants to destroy all of humanity, but she was defeated by the Uncanny X-Force.
After a brief fight with Cable and his X-Force team over the discovery that Bishop had returned to the present Storm was briefly united with her former lover Forge. The two X-Force teams took on Stryfe and defeated him. At the conclusion of that battle, Storm had to leave the team and returned to the school.
All-Female X-Men Team
Storm leading the team
Storm is also leading the first all-female X-Men team. The roster initially consists of Psylocke, Jubilee, Rachel Grey, Rogue, and Kitty Pryde. This team is a spiritual continuation of her former Security Recon Team, except now this team originates from the Jean Grey School instead of Utopia. The team took on Arkea, who is the sister to Sublime and has the ability to control technology and took control of Karima and attacked the school. During the mission, Storm made the decision to kill Karima, who ultimately did not end up having to die, but brought Ororo into conflict with Rachel Grey, with Rachel questioning Storm's assumption of being the team's leader.
A strain of the Arkea virus was retained and downloaded into Reiko, the assistant to Lady Deathstrike. Arkea recruited Enchantress, Typhoid Mary, and a revived Selene and Madelyne Pryor. They formed the Sisterhood. Storm's team found them, and after confronting Selene and Madelyne Storm made a deal to let them go in exchange for Arkea. Both ladies agreed and made their escape, allowing Storm's team to kill Arkea unabated. The team then encountered Shogo's father, The Future, who had kidnapped Jubilee and he tried to ransom her for the return of his son Shogo. Storm's team, aided by her daughter Kymera, succeeded in defeating him.
Exogenous
Director of S.W.O.R.D., Abigail Brand contacted the X-Men, asking them to visit the Peak. Once on board, they meet Manifold Tyger, Brand, and Dr. Cecilia Reyes, who helped to examine the body of Deathbird. Sidrian Hunters infiltrated the Peak in search of Deathbird. The X-Men helped to fight them off. Monet, Rachel, and Psylocke entered Deathbird's mind, and later boarded the Lilandra (a Shi'ar Imperial Craft), to resolve the issue. After Storm managed to restore power to the Peak's engines (via intense lightning blasts), she passed out from the power exertion. Manifold Tyger, revealed to be a member of the Providian Order, then strangled Storm and nearly killed her. While recovering in the med bay Storm went into cardiac arrest but was saved by Jubilee and Dr.Reyes.
Storm - Solo Series
Setting out to live by her own rules and use her powers for the betterment of humans and mutants alike Storm used her powers to save the island village of Santo Marco from a tsunami and, despite the political consequences, from a local anti-mutant militia. Her adventures also brought her into a brief conflict with her former nemesis Callisto, took her back to Kenya where she met up with Forge to aid a local village suffering from drought conditions, and taking care of some of Wolverine's unfinished business with their mutual friend after his untimely death. While aiding Yukio, who had become the leader of several dangerous criminal clans, Storm was unexpectedly forced into fighting on her behalf in order to protect Yukio when her position as leader was challenged by a rival. After defeating the rival's champion in combat, though suffering some injuries, Storm secured Yukio's position as leader of the four clans.
While still recovering from her injuries the passenger plane Storm was flying home on was attacked by one of the clans. Already being recognized and branded a terrorist by one of the passengers, who happened to be a U.S. senator, Storm managed to defeat the attackers and save the plane. However, upon landing the plane in NY Storm passed out from the strain of exerting her powers, and while she was unconscious the Senator made a publicized accusation that Storm was holding the passengers hostage and was terrorizing them. She was immediately arrested and taken into custody by the FBI. Seeing Storm arrested on television and that she was being held in a special FBI facility in Brooklyn her fellow X-Men reached out to Storm telepathically. Through Rachel's telepathic link Storm had explained that the plane was attacked by one of the criminal clans, Eaglestar, and that she was being framed by them. Rachel also informed Storm that a large crowd of people had come to protest her arrest and were outside of the facility she was being held in.
Unsuccessful with trying to convince the FBI that she was being framed and that the mastermind behind the attack was Davis Harmon, who was believed to be dead to the world at large, Storm was forced to break free and find him herself. After making a daring escape Storm, through the assistance of the X-Men, found the senator who falsely accused her. Scaring him into confessing and revealing the whereabouts of Davis Harmon Storm had to elude the FBI a second time and made her way to San Francisco. Diving under the bay Storm found Harmon raiding the remnants of Utopia. Refusing to surrender Storm forced his large vessel to the surface of the ocean and easily defeated him. After explaining to Storm why he tried to frame her he made a final but unsuccessful attempt to kill her by detonating his vessel. The explosion created a massive tidal wave that threatened to kill the people on the Golden Gate bridge, but Storm creatively vaporized it before it could reach the bridge. She then turned Harmon over to the FBI.
After having a special thieves adventure with her good friend Gambit Storm returned to her duties as Headmistress of the Jean Grey School. Unexpectedly the school was attacked by one of the former students and residents of Utopia - the believed to be deceased Kenji Uedo. Explaining that he felt that Storm failed him Kenji used his powerful abilities to attack not only the entire school, both students and faculty but was simultaneously attacking Callisto in New York, Forge in Africa, and one of her former student's Marisol Guerra at her home in Mexico by generating numerous monster clones around the globe. Using his psionically conductive body mass to channel additional energy Storm used her powers across the planet to simultaneously take out all of Kenji's monster clones, and then pulled Kenji, Callisto, Forge, and Marisol into the astral plane via taking control of Kenji's psionic powers. There, instead of killing Kenji, she managed to pull off a psychic intervention and was able to spare his life.
Avengers & X-Men: AXIS
After the initial events that led up to AXIS, Storm arrived with reinforcements, including Colossus and Nightcrawler, to battle the Red Onslaught and the two sentinels in his control, both of which were created by Tony Stark and designed specifically to take down heroes. Storm, along with all the other heroes, except for Iron Man, was taken down by the Red Onslaught. After Wanda Maximoff and Dr. Doom were able to cast their inversion spell, Storm and the other heroes reappeared, though some of them - including Storm - were noticeably different. After becoming darker as a result of the inversion spell Storm joined her fellow X-Men, and all were under the leadership of Apocalypse. They were trying to retrieve the Red Skull's body, who had part of Xavier's consciousness inside it but the Avengers refused to turn him over. This brought Storm and the mutants into conflict with the other inverted heroes and villains. Later the inversion spell was reversed and Storm was restored to normal.
Guardians of the Galaxy & X-Men: The Black Vortex
Storm vs Gamora
A mysterious artifact of vast cosmic power was discovered in space by the villainous Mister Knife, the father of Peter Quill. The Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde stole the artifact from Quill's father and brought it to the Planet Spartax. Kitty asked her friend and teammate, Illyana Rasputin aka Magik, for help. Magik teleported to the Jean Grey School with the All-New X-Men. There she briefly explained the situation to Storm and Beast before teleporting them with her to Spartax. Once on the planet, the group argued over what to do with the artifact. Storm was in favor of destroying it. Some of the others, most importantly Gamora, were not. During their discussion, the Slaughter Lords arrived and attacked the assembled X-Men and Guardians. During a brief engagement, Gamora used the Black Vortex and became cosmically empowered. With her new abilities, she took down all of the Slaughter Lords on her own, giving Magik enough time to teleport the group away to Spartax's moon, where the argument continued. Beast also used the Black Vortex on himself, and Angel soon followed. They urged the others to do the same, but they would not. The cosmically empowered heroes wanted to take the artifact, but Storm would not allow it, leading to a short battle, during which Storm took on the empowered Gamora. After their altercation, the three transformed heroes left the planet with the Vortex. Mister Knife finally located the group and unleashed a fierce bombardment on the heroes gathered on the moon. It was initially thought that the heroes were wiped out by this attack. However, Kitty was able to reach Storm and one other, using her intangibility to spare them from the attack. Magik saved the rest of the group with some quick teleportation. Magik also cast a spell of intangibility to block the group from the view of the others.
Extraordinary X-Men
With the release of the terrigen mist into the earth's atmosphere, the mutants faced a new deadly threat. The toxic properties of the mist were not only deadly to mutants but also sterilizes the carriers of the X-gene. In an effort to save the earth's remaining mutants and fight for her species place in the world Storm created a sanctuary, X-Haven, and assembled a new team of X-Men that includes Magik, Colossus, Iceman, Nightcrawler, Forge, teenage Jean Grey, and Old Man Logan. After Storm's team saved Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Magik from the clutches of Mr. Sinister Ororo addressed the world, announcing X-Haven as a safe house for all mutants, and declared that the X-Men will find and save all mutants, retaliate against any persecution, and fight to protect all life - mutants, humans, and inhumans alike. Storm's team rescued many mutants and their families. During the team's time in Limbo Storm lead her X-Men team on several crucial missions, playing a key role in defeating a new incarnation of Apocalypse, overcoming the universal threat of the World Eater and dominated the war with the Inhumans.
Despite her successes and repairing her strained relationship with her former lover Forge Storm was plagued by her failings. Her uncharacteristic doubts in her leadership ability, the mutants who fell victim to the terrigen mists, and trusting the unstable Emma Frost in their war with the Inhumans all took their toll.
X-Men Gold
After the events of the war with the Inhumans and unsure of the direction they go Storm asked her close friend Kitty Pryde to take over leadership of the X-Men. She had planned to leave the team but Kitty convinced Ororo that she was still needed and to stay with the team.
Powers
Weather Manipulation
Multiple times over the years Storm has been called a "sculptress". This is one of many ways to describe her absolute mastery and dominion over the forces and elements that govern weather. In the blink of an eye, Storm can alter her perception to perceive the elements of nature, including the planet's magnetic and electromagnetic field, and the ozone layer, as patterns of force and energy. She becomes one with these forces and can mold them to her will for a variety of effects. These atmospheric forces include (but are not limited to) air, moisture, temperature, pressure, and electrical energy. Through molding these forces Storm can manifest any meteorological tempest, weather effect, and other atmospheric phenomena with a thought. This also includes control over ocean currents.
She has summoned powerful blizzards, thunderstorms, monsoons, tornadoes, hail, and hurricanes, as well as disbursed natural storms to create clear weather. Her range has been shown to be planetary but she can also localize the weather effects to a specific area or target, even refined enough control to manipulating air and electrical forces inside a target's body. Storm has also shown that she can channel these elemental forces through her own body, allowing her to project weather-effects in a beam-like path from her hands, such as lightning, wind, thermal energy, and moisture. Her control over air also gives her the power of flight.
Due to her powers being tied to her emotions and because she is completely in-tune with the environment, she must keep a tight rein on her emotions to avoid them influencing the surrounding weather. Being acutely attuned with the biosphere of the planet Storm can sense various changes within the atmosphere and earth, including unnatural shifts in the air, movement within the earth, changes in the earth's electromagnetic field, or shifts within the water's currents. She has sensed objects as small as a snowball being tossed her way or the Blackbird cutting across the atmosphere from thousands of miles away.
Adaptation
As Storm goes into different environments her powers adapt, including other planets and dimensions, allowing her control over the atmospheres in these different environments. For example, in space, she can manipulate energies of stars and the solar wind. She can also summon atmospheric lightning while in space (though she can generate bioelectric lightning bolts through her metabolism). When in space she needs no medium for her lightning to travel and the raw power of her bolts are significantly enhanced and has summoned a bolt big enough to cover a spaceship.
Potential
It should be noted that Storm currently has the label of "Omega Level Potential" that has yet to be confirmed. As such, she may have a vast and ever-evolving range and array to her mutant powers that is yet untapped.
Skills
Storm is a gifted and cunning hand to hand combatant of formidable skill, having been trained by Achmed El Gibar and the Black Panther in her youth, and extensively trained by her fellow X-Man Wolverine. She is a master thief, lockpick and escape artist, has the same degree of dexterity in her toes and mouth as she does with her hands, and her reflexes, balance and coordination have been said to be far above normal. She is highly skilled with wielding knives, is experienced with a bo staff and has received training in sword fighting by the finest warriors in Wakanda. She is also an excellent marksman with a gun. She is very intelligent, a skilled and resourceful tactician, and possesses strong natural leadership skills, having led the X-Men for years prior to and after her marriage to the Black Panther and her time as queen of Wakanda.
Mystical Heritage
Ororo is the descendant of a long line of African Priestesses and Sorceresses that had white hair, blue eyes, and strong magic potential. This line of women has been around since the dawn of Atlantis. While there have been many of them, the exact number of women who possessed Ororo's unique features is still unknown. Due to the fact that Storm possesses the signature markings of a witch (blue eyes and white hair on her maternal side) you can assume has inherited latent magic abilities. To this day, Storm still has not shown the mystic aspects of what she could have inherited, but she does embrace the "Bright Lady", The Goddess of her ancestors who is also known as the Vishanti member, Oshtur, the source of her ancestors magic. Storm has used her latent ability as a priestess to successfully invoke her name. Out of the entire line of women, only 3 have been brought up. Ayesha, a Sorceress Supreme who was possibly the first to hold the High Priestess title, Ashake, a very talented Egyptian sorceress who appears to have also been High Priestess of her time, and another "Wind Rider" who was confirmed by Andreas deRuyter and his father. Like her ancestor, Ayesha, Storm also possesses the title of this era's High Priestess. But she shares the title equally with Scarlet Witch and Agatha Harkness. Storm now has great mystical power that she could develop in a matter of days.
Claustrophobia
Storm is one of the most powerful mutants and members of the X-Men, however, she suffers from claustrophobia (the fear of narrow or enclosed spaces), due to the experience as a child of being buried alive beside the dead bodies of her parents. When she had fallen victim to claustrophobic attacks in the past, she lost control of her powers. However, over time Storm has learned to manage her fear through sheer force of will and with mental exercises taught to her by Professor X.

Earth-295 (Age of Apocalypse)
Storm in the Age of Apocalypse
On Earth- 295, Storm was seen by many people as being a Goddess. Her home continent, Africa was in turmoil following the rise of the mutant tyrant Apocalypse. Following this, Storm called herself the Windrider and declared a small section of Africa for herself to intended to keep it safe from the war brewing between mutants and humans. However, her plan backfired as the small section of Africa she was protecting actually made her and the people within stand out. Apocalypse took advantage of this and attacked the small nation and captured Storm to turn her into a Horseman. She was taken to Mr. Sinister and the Dark Beast where she was branded and made into a warrior for Apocalypse. It was here that Apocalypse gave her the codename 'Storm'.
While she was within Dark Beast's lab, she was subjected to torture and the Shadow King's mind- controlling telepathy. However, Storm was able to resist the Shadow King's mind control and managed to summon a large storm that wiped out all of the power within Apocalypse's lands. During the loss of power, Prelate Scott Summers found Storm and feeling sympathy for her helped her escape the labs. While Storm was heading back to Africa, she was confronted by Quicksilver whom she thought was a spy for Apocalypse. As she was about to electrocute him with lightning, Quicksilver explained that he was actually a member of the X-Men and he earned her trust. Later on, Storm became romantically involved with Quicksilver.
Storm joined the X-Men team and kept the codename Storm to remind her of what she had been through with Apocalypse. She was selected to join Quicksilver's X-Men team and was sent to help destroy the Sentinels that were created by the Human High Council in evacuating North America. While the team were within America, they were confronted by the Brotherhood and Abyss, who was a Horseman of Apocalypse, and their leader. Storm managed to defeat Abyss and his Brotherhood by luring Quicksilver out into the open.
Upon completing the evacuation, the X-Men team were sent back to their headquarters in Westchester. While there, they discovered that Apocalypse attacked their headquarters and captured Magneto, Charles and Bishop. Along with Quicksilver, Storm travelled to the Mandri Temple to rescue Bishop. They managed to find and rescue Bishop and they also managed to free Jamie Madrox, who was responsible for the creation of the Madri Cult. To stop the Madri surviving, Jamie shut down his own mind. Along with the rest of the X-Men team, Storm travelled to New York City to confront and defeat Apocalypse once and for all. They were successful in doing since then Storm and Quicksilver have developed their relationship and continue to fight for Magneto's vision of coexistence. After a decade of Apocalypse´s defeat, it is revealed that Storm became a loyal herald of the new Apocalypse (Weapon X).

Age of Ultron (Earth-61112)
Age of Ultron ~ Storm
Storm was one of the few survivors of Ultron's reemergence and takeover. The survivors hid in tunnels beneath Central Park to evade Ultron's forces. When the group travelled to the Savage Land, Storm provided mist and fog as cover in tandem with the Sue Storm's invisibility and Emma Frost's psychic cloaking. The group discovered a secret bunker built by Nick Fury, who later revealed himself to them. There was a time machine inside the bunker. He proposed that a team be taken into the future. Storm was one of the selected few. She used her powers to carry the team through the air from the Savage Land (which was unexpectedly verdant) to New York City, which had been transformed into a technological masterpiece. They were detected immediately upon their arrival by Ultron, who sent hundreds of drones to attack the group. After a fierce battle for their lives, each of the heroes, including Captain America, Black Widow, Quake, Iron Man, and Red Hulk, was hurt, and presumably, died. .
Earth-58163 (House of M)
After the Scarlet Witch lost control of her powers and warped the Earth 616 reality, Storm's history and connection to the world changed. She did not meet Charles Xavier and later join the X-Men. Instead, while in her teens, she ventured to Africa, where her developing mutant powers emerged, and the legend of the Windrider grew across the continent. During this time, she met T'Challa. Storm used her powers to save T'Challa from a mutant attack on the young prince's kingdom of Wakanda. During that time the two fell in love, and T'Challa eventually proposed to her but Storm refused him. Over the subsequent years, Storm used her powers for the good of Africa, using her powers to quell human-mutant conflicts throughout the continent and promote peace, and helped to end a civil war that erupted in Kenya. As a result, the Kenyan people embraced Storm as their queen. Storm played a pivotal role in Magneto's successful victory over the rest of Africa, though not Wakanda, and installed leadership in Africa, but allowed Storm to remain as queen of Kenya. Storm had helped to turn Africa into a world power, making Africa into the world's breadbasket. And, in addition to Africa's rising power, Storm's promotion of peaceful relations between humans and mutants gave Magneto great concern and brought her into conflict with him. To address this, Magneto instructed Quicksilver to court Storm, though the two of them developed genuine feelings for each other. However, due to Storm's distaste for Magneto's rule and that Pietro supported his father's philosophy, she did not pursue a relationship with him. Storm, as well as Sunfire, Namor and Blackbolt, rulers of their respective lands, was secretly working with T'Challa, whom Magneto had been trying to eliminate. After T'Challa killed the latest assassin, Sabretooth, Magneto sent in Apocalypse and his Horsemen to kill the Black Panther. As part of T'Challa's secret resistance, Storm takes down Apocalypse's airship and engaged Iceman, one of Apocalypse's Horsemen. A shot time later, at a large gathering to celebrate and honor the House of Magnus, Wanda changed the world back to normal but also eliminated 99% of the world's mutant population. Storm was one of the few remaining mutants who retained her powers.
Earth-1298 (Mutant X)
The Storm of the Earth-1298 reality (Mutant X), is known as Bloodstorm after being bitten by Dracula. Before she was completely turned Kitty Pryde tried to slay her but fell as Storms first victim. She later joins up with fellow thief Gambitpossibly as her consort and takes on a job to steal something from Apocalypse. It is here when she encounters Warren Worthington once known as Angel, now resembling more of a winged demon calling himself The Fallen. He first taunts Ororo, before forcing her to expose herself as a vampire to Gambit when he attacks her. Fallen then attacks Gambit, fatally wounding him. Gambit begged Ororo to turn him.
At this time, she reluctantly turned Gambit into a vampire, because he was dying and he begged her to do it no matter what. He ended up hating her for what he becomes. They go their separate ways afterwards.
Ororo later joins up with the Six and takes on the name Bloodstorm. The team consist of a mock of the original X-Menline-up, Havok, Madelyne Pryor, Ice Man, Brute, and Fallen. She also keeps Forge and Kitty, now calling herself Kathrine, as her consorts, and it is inferred that she fed on Forge instead of letting the thirst get the better of her.
The Goblin Queen: Mutant X was originally supposed to be a 13 issue mini-series in which Havok gets his own happy ending, in place of his brother Cyclops. Madelyne Pryor was possessed of the Goblin Force, which is depicted much in the tradition of the Phoenix Force. Once driven mad by its power Madelyne Pryor becomes the Goblin Queen, first attacking the Six, and controlling them. Bloodstorm was one of the first to be attacked, by her hordes of demons. When her castle was attacked Bloodstorm diverted the demons long enough for Kathrine and Forge to escape, though she fell to the Goblin Queen influence. By the end of the short-lived inferno, Bloodstorm and the six are returned to normal and Havok along with Scotty (His son) defeat the Goblin Queen. Madelyne, however, is lost as well.
Gambit: The Six find themselves in New Orleans where they encounter Gambit, who is now the leader of the thieves guild. Having owed Bloodstorm a favor for saving his life, he gives them sanctuary from the " Friends of Humanity" and anti-mutant terrorist group. Gambit, however, is betrayed by one of his own, and his wife is killed. He then leaves the guild and joins with the six, and he and Bloodstorm reconcile their differences. Jean Grey joins the Six and helps them defeat an evil Professor Xavier who has been possessed by his adversary the Shadow King.
The Hunt for Dracula: The Six were contacted by an organization known as the Vault (a high-security prison for super-powered villains) A box containing Dracula had been stolen from the Vault by the Marauders. Bloodstorm sensing her maker volunteered to track it down and bring it back. In her pursuit, Bloodstorm became more and more violent attacking people and beating answers out of them. Gambit who followed her tried to calm her but failed. Bloodstorm eventually found her way to the Morlock tunnelswhere she engaged the Marauders in battle, killing two of them, all the while growing more and more violent. Gambit eventually shows up and seeing that the closer she gets to the box the eviler she became, Gambit blew it down one of the drain pipes with a card. Bloodstorm immediately regained control over herself.
A Cure: While in the tunnels, Bloodstorm and Gambit are ambushed by the Morlocks who are all dressed like druids. Bloodstorm looses consciousness and Gambit disappears. When Bloodstorm awakes she meets Dagger, the leader of the Morlocks. Dagger has crucified Gambit for unspoken crimes against them, and he is hung up where the suns deadly rays will reach him upon sunrise. Bloodstorm challenges Dagger in exchange for his life, and much like the battle between Storm and Callisto, no powers are allowed. Bloodstorm bests Dagger stabbing her in the chest when it is revealed that Dagger is actually Cloak and Dagger and the two of them had become one. The Morlocks drag Cloak and Dagger away and Bloodstorm helps Gambit down from the cross just before the sun reaches him. The two of them, however, have both decided that they would rather not live on as vampires and they wait for the sun to finish them. However before they are killed, Ice Man creates an ice shield over the opening blocking the sunlight, and Havok brings them two vials, telling them that it's not a cure, but it will make them immune to sunlight and it will remove the dependency on blood.
Dracula the Beyonder and the Golblin Queen: The Beyonder rises from the center of the Earth after a cosmic scale battle between Captain America and Havok. He absorbs the memories of Captain America, and goes in search of Havok who he calls the "Key to everywhere." The Six Return to their castle where Havok is attacked by Dracula who bites him. The Six try to fight him off, but he easily overwhelms them when they are all suddenly hit by some strange psionic attack, felt through the universe as the Beyonder has returned. The X-Men, lead by Magneto come to the aid of the Six, but are slowly killed off by Dracula. First Quicksilver, then Mystique, then Polaris. Jean is attacked and left paralyzed. Iceman and Beast work together to hold off Dracula while Havok is revived. The last to defend against Dracula is Elektra who sacrifices herself in an effort to stop him but tragically failed. The Six escape as Magneto comes to a secret fortress where they prepare for the more prudent threat at hand, the Beyonder, who is later revealed to actually be the Goblin Queen in disguise. While Havok does battle with the Goblin Queen, Dracula attempts to kill the last of Earth heroes when Bloodstorm stakes him through the heart, and he dies. Havok defeats the Goblin Queen and she is forced out of Madelyne Pryor's body who is returned to her son, though Havok disappeared after that returning to his own reality.
Reality Hopping: Later, Bloodstorm was pulled from her own reality by Machine Man of Earth-9997 and joined the Heralds. They were sent on a mission in alternate worlds to warn them of a Celestial at the center of the Earth. Bloodstorm's group was sent to an Earth where everyone had been turned to vampires. Though she accomplished her mission of warning them of the Celestial, they all agreed to just end their miserable existence, choosing death over their own Vampirism. Machine Man theorized that Bloodstorm's vampirism could be reversed through a simple blood transfusion from her still mortal counterpart in an alternate reality. As a reward for helping, she was cured of her vampiric state. Though it is never revealed whether or not the theoretical cure worked, or what effect this would have on her vampiric powers.
Towards Reality 616: Some months after the events of the Secret Wars, in which all of reality ceased to be, and was later remade, Bloodstorm found herself on a new reality, Earth 616. She soon encountered the time-displaced young X-Men of that reality and eventually joined them, together with Jimmy Hudson, forming the new X-Men Blue team.
Powers: Bloodstorm has the same powers as Earth-616 Storm, ability to manipulate weather patterns in her area to summon winds, rain, fog, snow, hail, thunder, or lightning, though amplified by her vampiric state.
Additionally, as a vampire, she has the standard vampiric traits such as superhuman strength, speed, endurance, and reaction time, ability to morph into a bat, wolf, or mist. She can summon and control vermin, and use a hypnotic stare to hold human beings enthralled. She must suck the blood of others to survive otherwise she is invulnerable to most forms of permanent injury.
Earth-983 ( What if the X-Men condemned Gambit to death?)
Storm and the rest of the X-Men battle Gambit until Storm gets the idea to put the fate of Gambit to a vote. Before judgment can be passed, Wolverine realizes that Gambit's fate should be decided in a trial by combat. After the X-Man Gambit was revealed to have had a past connection with their enemy, Mister Sinister, involving the creation of the Marauders, and their slaughter of the mutant Morlocks, Angel and Psylocke visited Papa Joe's Club to interrogate Gambit's adopted father, Jean-Luc LeBeau. Jean-Luc explained that he had no idea where Gambit had been, especially since the X-Men had dropped him in the Antarctic. The Angel and Psylocke then realized that Jean-Luc could only have known about the Antarctic had he spoken to Gambit. Jean-Luc begged for the X-Men to leave Gambit, as he could have died in the Antarctic, but the Angel and Psylocke claimed that it wasn't enough suffering for he had done to them.
Soon after they left the club, Angel and Psylocke were confronted by Wolverine, who reminded them that X-Men don't kill. Angel replied that it was funny coming from Wolverine and the X-Men also don't freelance to Mister Sinister. Wolverine agreed that Gambit screwed up big time, but Angel and Psylocke were not helping by going off on their own. He then warned that if the entire team didn't have a say in Gambit's judgment then he could not see the X-Men staying together as a team. Later, as Gambit awoke in Paris, Jean-Luc called Gambit and warned him that he had just been visited by some of the X-Men. Back in New York, Joseph informed Rogue that the X-Men were about to have a meeting concerning the fate of Gambit. He noticed that Rogue was looking up the Antarctic in an atlas and reminded that she couldn't punish herself because of the crimes Gambit had committed. Their conversation was soon interrupted by the Beast, who wanted to know what was keeping them.
At the meeting, Storm informed the others that Wolverine, Angel, and Psylocke were towards Paris, where they believed Gambit was hiding. While the others discussed Gambit's fate, Maggott,
Marrow, and Dr. Cecilia Reyes stood outside the door trying to listen in on the conversation. While Marrow argued with Maggott, Maggott's maggots ate their way through the door, revealing their presence outside. Storm invited the three newest X-Men into the room, where she announced that the X-Men had decided to send a team to Paris to pass final sentence on Gambit. In Paris, Gambit walked the streets, where he was attacked by Psylocke. As he tried to battle her, Angel arrived as well. The duo soon cornered Gambit, who explained that he had been cornered before and lived to tell about it. At that time, Storm and the other X-Men arrived on the scene to battle Gambit. Before Marrow could kill Gambit, Rogue knocked her away and Storm put a vote on the fate of Gambit. Bishop voted imprisonment, Marrow voted death, Iceman voted exile, but Wolverine explained to them that it was the Morlocks who suffered most from Gambit's actions. He suggested that Gambit's fate be decided by a trial by combat, as the Morlocks would have done. Marrow was the first to want to battle Wolverine, but the Angel announced that his hostility was more personal. Marrow then agreed to allow the Angel to battle Gambit. The two battled furiously until the Angel managed to pin Gambit to the ground, but he then let Gambit go free instead of killing him. The other X-Men prepared to let Gambit go, but Marrow killed Gambit anyway, unable to just let what she saw as a killer go free.
As Gambit died, he begged Rogue not to kiss him as that would allow her to absorb Gambit's feelings of guilt and cause her more emotional pain. Gambit dies, but not before urging the X-Men to come together and stop letting his own crime tear them apart. See: What If vol. 2 #106.
Earth-1610 (Ultimate Universe)
On Earth-1610 ( Ultimate Universe), Storm is a founding member of X-Men and had a relationship with first Beast, then Wolverine. See: Ultimate X-Men series. Storm was an illegal immigrant from Morocco who settled in Harlem New York. Using his Cerebro machine, Prof. X found Ororo in Athens, Texas where she'd been stealing cars for a living. When she took a 1978 Mustang for a joy ride, the police finally caught up with her. Pulling her over, Ororo used her powers to create a lightning storm so as to escape. Unfortunately, her control of her powers was limited, and she almost killed a group of children playing in a nearby playground; the police officers then subdued her. Per orders of Xavier, Jean Grey used her abilities to convince the Athens authorities that Ororo was actually an FBI agent and that she was sent to relieve them of the mutant. At first Ororo believed that Jean was another of Magneto's henchmen (apparently she had been contacted previously with an offer to join his Brotherhood), but Marvel Girl was there to offer her a place amongst Xavier's X-Men- a team of mutants gathered to halt the undeniable war that was brewing between humans and mutants whilst better mutants' standing in society.
Ororo joined the team not only to help further human/mutant relations but also to gain control of her powers. Shortly after joining the X-Men, Ororo, who was given the codename Storm, became interested in and began a relationship with fellow X-Man Henry "Hank" McCoy. She and Beast remained together for some time until Beast was killed during a mission. Beast's untimely death led Storm to become belligerent, bitter, and angry; she even drastically changed her personal appearance, altering her style to a punk-inspired look. After Beast's death, Storm took much time to heal emotionally. Eventually, Storm began to flirt with fellow X-Man Wolverine. Initially, Wolverine rejected her, saying that he was too old for her. Later when Wolverine leaves the X-Men Storm follows him and brings him back. When it is later revealed the Hank McCoy is still alive, Storm and Hank rekindle their relationship. The happiness doesn't last long, as Hank dies aging in the event of Ultimatum. Storm is one of the few X-Men to survive and is a key member in reforming the group afterwards.
Earth-9602 (Amalgam Comic)
Storm on Earth-9602 has been amalgamated with Wonder Woman (from the DC Universe) and is known as Amazon or Wonder Woman, having won that title in a fair contest against Diana. See: DC vs. Marvel #3, DC / Marvel All Access #4, Amazon #1, JLX: Unleashed #1, Bullets and Bracelets #1.
Amazon's ship was wrecked by an angered Poseidon and her parents were killed, but she was saved from drowning by the Amazon Queen Hippolyta. After being nursed back to health, she was raised by the Amazons, particularly by Queen Hippolyta, as a princess and as a sister to Diana (later known as Diana Prince). Ororo first learned the truth of her origin after an annoyed Diana taunted her with the fact that Ororo was not "a real amazon" -- the two scuffled, Ororo asserting that she was a real Amazon, but the fight was quickly broken up, at which point Hippolyta admitted that Ororo was an outsider adopted when she was just a small child.
See Amazon.
Powers
Ororo Munroe is a meta-mutant with the ability to control the weather. After the Amazons discovered Ororo's power to control the weather, they taught her to create a lasso with lightning that could make people tell the truth. She eventually left to enter "Man's World" where she joined the JLX and took Aqua Mariner's place as leader.
Earth-20051 (Marvel Adventures)
In the Marvel Adventures Universe, Storm is co-leader of the Avengers along with Captain America (co-leader), Iron Man, Spider-Man, Hulk, Wolverine and Giant Girl. It seems this world doesn't hate mutant kind, as it doesn't baulk at having one co-leading this heroic team. See: Marvel Adventures: Avengers series.
Earth-110
On Earth-110, Storm is a part of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, along with Magneto, Wolverine, Havok, Quicksilver, and the Scarlet Witch. See: Fantastic Four: Big Town #1-4.

General Information
Name: Priscilla Kitaen, Pris, Voodoo
Nationality: American
Weaknesses: n/a
Voodoo has an incredibly unique genetic history. Her distant ancestor was a failed experiment by the Daemonites to create a loyal Daemonite-Kheberium hybrid. This makes Voodoo part human, Daemonite and Kheberium. This unique heritage gives her unique abilities, such as being able to see Daemonites even when they are shift shaped or possessing someone (and capable of reversing their possession). She and the Spartan have been an on again, off again couple.

riscilla Kitaen was a stripper before being rescued by the WildC.A.T.s from the Daemonites. Voodoo had a gift called the "Sight", allowing her to perceive if a person was possessed by a Daemonite, and being able to separate daemonites from the bodies they were possessing which made her very important to both the WildC.A.T.s and the Daemonites. Voodoo joined the WildC.A.T.S and revealed even greater powers, such as telepathy and the ability to develop animal-like traits, such as sprouting claws from her fingertips. She was later trained by Zealot in the martial arts of The Coda and developed an attraction towards Spartan.
Her Daemonite ancestry was not revealed until she entered into a coma after being shot. Void entered in her mind through a computer, and it was revealed that one of her ancestors, a Kherubim, was possessed by a Daemonite.
When the WildC.A.T.s travelled to Khera, home planet of the Kherubim, Voodoo was separated from her friends because of her Daemonite heritage. She was relocated to a Daemonite ghetto and discovered that the war between Khera and Daemonites had been over for centuries. More importantly she discovered that most Daemonites were not evil as she always was led to believe; the Daemonites on Earth were all highly fanatical soldiers, but on Khera the Daemonites were citizens. She managed to find the other WildC.A.T.s and confronted Zealot, who shamed her as being of an inferior race in front of the Coda sisterhood. Voodoo became disgusted with the Kherans and renounced Zealot, her former teacher. Despite this she then helped the WildC.A.Ts to stop an assassination attempt on Zealot and she too turned away from Khera. The WildC.A.T.s returned to Earth, but Voodoo could not forget Khera and Zealot's behaviour. Disappointed by her life as a superhero, she left the WildC.A.T.s.
Priscilla moved to New Orleans to return to stripping. As she arrived, she met two men, Carry-4 and Attibon. Carry-4 took Voodoo to The Midnight Lounge, where the owner, Christian Charles, offered her a job as one of his dancers had disappeared. She became friends with Purity, another stripper. Needing a place to stay, Attibon took her to a hotel, the Royale, where she met Freeda, a former prostitute and Saturday, a former hitman. These three later revealed themselves as Erzulie, Papa Legba and Baron Samedi. Soon it became clear that Christian Charles had been murdering his dancers to bathe in their blood, an arcane ritual to resurrect his dead father, a dark magician. Christian had help from Carry-4 who was, in reality, Mait' Carrefour. Priscilla and lieutenant David Dove, the police officer investigating the murders, arrived in time to save Purity, but Christian had absorbed enough blood to summon his dead father. Priscilla faced him and channelled Erzulie. Despite all their power, Christian and his father could not resist her dance and Priscilla lured him back to the Royale. Inside the Royale, Baron Samedi, Erzulie, and Papa Legba waited for Christian and his father, telling them that they disturbed the balance. The three pointed the Charles' towards a door where they faced Damballa, causing the Royale to explode. The experience made Priscilla decide to learn more about voodoo magic and she became an apprentice to a mambo.
Several months later, she briefly rejoined the WildC.A.Ts, but left again when the team disbanded following Zealot's apparent death. She moved in with Dr. Jeremy Stone, but despite her attempts to get closer to him, he often locked himself up in his lab. Unknown to Priscilla, Jeremy had fallen in love with her and was developing a method to remove the Daemonite-genes from her. Voodoo had no direction to her life at this time, but a Daemonite, disguised as an elderly man followed her around.
Priscilla was given a credit card from the Halo Corporation under the name Marlowe. While tracking this credit card, Voodoo was attacked by a serial killer called Samuel Smith, who was trying to kill Jacob Marlowe and all his relatives. It turned out that Jacob had defeated Smith's grandfather, a criminal with superhuman powers and now Samuel wanted revenge. He surprised her, and his powers seriously injured her, separating her legs from her body and injuring her throat. Spartan, now Jack Marlowe, and Grifter took down Smith later. Grifter also convinced Jeremy that his plan to heal Voodoo from her Daemonite-side might not be welcomed at all by Voodoo.
While she was treated in the hospital, she amazed the medical staff by quickly recovering from her throat injuries. She quickly grew annoyed by the medical staff until she noticed a Daemonite among them. Soon afterwards, the Daemonite confronted her. He told her that he was not an enemy, but a rare conscientious objector among the Daemonite military and that she should see him as her grandfather. He instructed her in the proper use of her Daemonite powers of time manipulation and regeneration and within several hours, Voodoo had regrown her legs. Before leaving, he also convinced Priscilla to start a relationship with Jeremy. This relationship has ended recently; an aspect of her telepathic powers is that they increase with physical intimacy, and Voodoo's willingness to be intimate with other men to use them was, despite his protests, not something with which Jeremy could cope. The break-up fight was ended when Priscilla intentionally angered him to the point that he grew in size. With the resulting loss of intellect that comes with his size growth, he forgot they were fighting, and she took the opportunity to leave.
Powers and Abilities
As with the remainder of the character's appearances, there is a difference between the pre-mainstream DC Universe character and the post-mainstream DC universe character. Additionally this is also complicated by the fact that in the post-mainstream DC Universe version of the character that there are fact two versions of the character, Voodoo herself and the clone. The clone generally has exhibited more advanced powers than Voodoo though it can be assumed that seeing as they are essentially the same being that Voodoo herself possesses the same powers, only that she has not developed them yet, or that she is not aware that she can use them in this way.
The Sight
Voodoo is part human, Kherubim and Daemonite which results in her having unique abilities not seen in either two. She has the power of the "Sight" which allows her to see any being or object as it truly is, meaning she is not affected by shape-shifters or any type of illusion.
Telepath
She is a telepath, meaning she has the power to read or take over a person's mind. She can focus her mental powers into a mental attack. She is also an empath allowing her to feel the emotions of those she chooses. As with all Daemonite machinery, they are receptive to Daeminite on a telepathic level and thus she can use her telepathic abilities to pilot Daemonite vehicles as well.
Separating
Another powerful gift is that she can separate any being that is possessing a body and she often uses this gift against Daemonites. It does usually result in pain and at times it may also hurt Voodoo herself. This power can be used from a distance, but she usually gets close to the person she is using it on.
Shape-Shifing
Due to training from a Daemonite, Voodoo can use more of the traditional powers attributed to a Daemonite. She can transform, revealing Daemonite parts resulting in her having claws, super strength, speed. She has the power to regrow lost limbs and heal from wounds faster than a normal human. She also has the power to control time itself and has recently used magnetic powers that were strong enough to control Captain Atom's suit and even the tiny iron particles in his blood. She has been trained in traditional Voodoo magic and has even used the power of a Voodoo deity. Recently she has shown the power to animate the dead.
Unarmed Combat
She has also received Coda training from Zealot, Majestrix of the Coda, making her a deadly martial artsexpert. she has also been shown to exhibit exceptional healing abilities, including regenerating limbs.
Origin
Priscilla Kitaen was an exotic dancer before being rescued by the WildC.A.T.sfrom the Daemonites. Voodoo possessed a unique ability known as "The Sight", which allowed her to perceive a being possessed by a Daemonite and exorcise it from its host body. She was therefore important to both sides in the war. Upon joining the WildC.A.T.s she developed more significant and powerful psychic abilities as well as animalistic powers. She was taken in for training by Zealot in Coda fighting techniques. She also began a long-term relationship with team leader Spartan. Eventually Voodoo was shot and went into a coma. Void used a computer to enter Priscilla's mind and found out she was descended from a Kherubim possessed by a Daemonite making her a Kherubim/Daemonite/Human Hybrid.
Kheran Truth
When the WildC.A.T.s later traveled to Khera, the Kherubim homeworld, Voodoo was placed in a Daemonite ghetto because of her heritage. It was here that she discovered the long war between the two races had ended centuries ago and the daemonites had lost. She also discovered that not all daemonites were evil as she was led to believe. The ones she was use to combating were fanatic militants, the ones she met on Khera were citizens. When she finally found the WildC.A.T.s, she confronted Zealot about the treatment of the daemonites, Zealot in turn told her she was of an inferior race in front of the Coda sisterhood. This put a great strain on their relationship, to the point Voodoo would have nothing more to do with her or Khera. She relented and helped the WildC.A.T.s stop the Coda from trying to assassinate Zealot, who then also turned away from Khera. When they returned to Earth Voodoo couldn't forget what she experienced and left the team.
Voodoo
Now living in New Orleans, Priscilla returned to exotic dancing. She began working a club called the Midnight Lounge, owned by a man named Christian Charles. She became good friends with a fellow dancer named Purity. A man she met while living there was Attibon he found her a place to stay at the Royale hotel. It is here she meant a former prostitute named Freeda and a former hitman named Saturday. They would then reveal themselves as Erzulie, Papa Legba and Baron Samedi. Priscilla' boss Christian was found to have been using his dancer in a voodoo blood ritual, killing them and bathing in their blood, in order to bring his dark magician father back from the dead. Priscilla along with police detective investigating the murders, lieutenant David Dove, came just in time to save Purity from Christian but he already absorbed enough blood to resurrect his father from the dead. Priscilla channeled Erzulie and fought Christian and his father, who were no match for her dance. Luring them back to the Royale, where Baron Samedi, Erzulie and Papa Legba forced them to bow to balance and walk through a door to face Damballa, which in turn blew up the Royale. The experience made Priscilla decide to learn more about voodoo magic and she became an apprentice to a mambo.
Priscilla & Jeremy
Several months later she rejoined the WildC.A.T.s briefly. She then left the team when it disbanded after the supposed death of Zealot. She moved in with Maul, but he became more introverted the more she tried to get closer to him, locking himself away in his lab. Jeremy in truth had fallen in love with her and was trying to come up with a method to remove her daemonite genes. Unbeknown to her, she was being followed by a daemonite possessing a old man.
Brutal Attack
Priscilla was later given a credit card from the Halo Corporation under the name Marlowe. She was then attacked by the serial killer Samuel Smith, the grandson of Slaughterhouse Smith. Samuel was trying to kill Jacob Marlowe and all his relatives. Jacob had defeated Slaughterhouse sometime in the past, and now Samuel wanted revenge. He surprise attacked her and used his powers to brutally injure her. Cutting off her legs and cutting open her throat.[1] Spartan (who was Jack Marlowe) and Grifter were instrumental in Smith's demise. It was at this time that Grifter convinced Maul that trying to get rid of her daemonite genes may not be what Voodoo wants.
Daemonite Training
Recuperating in the hospital, the medical staff was amazed at how fast her throat injury healed. It wasn't long that she discovered a daemonite among the medical staff. Soon she was confronted by the daemonite. He explained that he was a rare conscientious objector among the daemonite military fanatics of Earth, he also claimed to be her grandfather. He taught her how to use her daemonite powers: time manipulation, and regeneration in only a few hours, she had fully regrown her legs. He told her it would be in her best interest to start a relationship with Jeremy, then he left.[2]
Mental States
The relationship became problematic, when Voodoo's telepathic powers started to increase with the amount of physical intimacy she had. Voodoo wishing to further the development of this situation, was willing to even go so far as to sleep with other men. Jeremy couldn't handle the situation at all. They would constantly fight about it. Priscilla then intentionally angered him, causing him to grow in size and therefore decrease in intellect until he forgot the reason they were fighting. Giving her the opportunity to leave the relationship.[3]
WildC.A.T.s Reborn
Priscilla once again became an exotic dancer, for high end clients, such as oil shieks and billionaires. Hadrian would come and ask her to rejoin the team, and despite the amount of time that had passed between their relationship and superhero days, they still were very attracted to each other and they ended up sleeping together. She came back as an employee of the Halo Corporation, getting paid triple her former salary.
World's End
After Armageddon, Priscilla has become a more calm and understanding individual. Using her mental abilities to keep the peace in the horrible post-apocalypse the Wildcats now lives in. She is seen comforting both Spartan and Maul alike creating jealously between the two she loves. Ultimately her relationship lies with Spartan, though Maul accepts it as he saw through that he himself and Priscilla wouldn't make a perfect couple.[4] Priscilla proved herself of being a more capable leader even when she dealt with Paris of former Stormwatch P.H.D. in establishing a easy peace between him and the animals in the Nevada Garden with human survivors outside the garden's boundary, and settling a brief truce between her team and Lord Defile's Daemonites in Los Angeles.[5][4]
After her team helped Team-7 in stopping Tao, Priscilla was gifted a new and improve costume based on her original attire by Max Faraday.[6] She and the Wildcats were later summoned to UnLondon by the Authority and notified of the chance to leave Earth on the Carrier. However, Voodoo chose to stay shortly before intervening in Earth's war against the militant Knights of Khera.[7] During the pitch battle in UnLondon, Priscilla obligated in having Spartan resume his leadership and was given a mission of trying to locate the Garden of Ancestral Memory in gaining the Earth's help in stopping the Knights' terraforming machines. On a helpful note from Grunge, Priscilla revived the former English Doctor of the 19th century, Sir Edwin Makepeace, and communicates his spirit in the Garden for the Doctors' help. However, she learned from the spirit of Sir Edwin that the previous Doctors had already been trying to heal the Earth since the Number of the Beast incident, but came with no success.[8] And neither do they know of the newest Doctor after Habib bin Hassanwent insane.[9] Despite this, the Knights were managed to be defeated.
Following the end of the invasion, Voodoo was tasked with the undead Sir Edwin in finding Earth's current Doctor.
Powers- Kherubim Ancestry Physiology: Kherubim resemble humans in appearance, but are physically far stronger and more durable and extremely long-lived, nearly immortal. However an evolutionary drawback to their near-immortality is that Kherans are almost infertile, only very rarely will a Kheran produce offspring. This effect is seen in real world natural environments, as longer living organisms will have fewer offspring than organisms with short lifespans. This is a natural check against overpopulation.
- The Sight: Voodoo possess highly advanced telepathic abilities that were limited only by the fact that she had not received any formal training and mainly had naturally developed them. Named, 'The Sight' as most of these powers revolved around her ability to perceive things beyond ones normal sight, they are the focus of her prime abilities. The ones developed due to her status as a Kherubim/Human Crossbreed. The primary power in the Sight is the ability for her to perceive hidden truths. Shape-shifters have no solace from her. She can see a Daemonite possessing a human as it is. No disguise can hold up to this powerful ability, and it is exactly because of this, that the Daemonites wanted her so badly during the beginning and would occasionally target her specifically during later events. Hers are the eyes that cannot be fooled.
The specific abilities that The Sight grants Voodoo are as follows:- Telepathy: Voodoo is a neophyte telepath in that she is quite capable of perceiving the thoughts of others. Be it the thoughts in a crowd, or receiving specific thoughts from individuals. She can read and manipulate the thoughts and emotions of others, and even shut off people's minds. Her powers increase proportionate to physical intimacy, enabling her greater ability to psychically manipulate and read others.
- Psi-Blast: Voodoo is powerful enough to focus her psionic energies into a very painful and direct attack. This, psi-blast was powerful enough to effect the Kherubim Lord Entropy. While perhaps, not as developed as say, Threshold's or Lynch's. A non-psi would be temporarily crippled by such an assault as their mind flares with a feeling like acid being poured upon it.
- True Sight: Voodoo is capable of seeing things as they are. She perceives things as the truth. No disguise holds up to her. No shape-shifter can hide from her powers and no Daemonite is safe when she is present. This power is infallible and so strong she need not be present with the person as she can apparently detect a Daemonite even over television and perhaps via photo's as well. She is capable of perceiving if someone is lying to her, as an older version of Voodoo was capable of reading the soul of Ripclaw and determining the truth from falsehood.
- Mental Separation: Voodoo has the ability to separate psyche's and manipulate such psionic patterns that she may perform literal 'separations'. Be it forcing a Daemonite to leave it's host, or purging a willing individual of unwanted parts of their soul and psyche, or separating and restoring damaged and trapped psyche's within others. Usually she does this via touch, however she can do this from a distance as well. Regardless, whenever she does it she is usually left drained and very vulnerable. Such as when she forced the Daemonite from Richtoffen's body, or when she separated Major Diane Lasell of Stormwatch's, psyche from S'yrn. She lacked the power to free Alexander Shaw. Usually very intense pain is involved for one or at times, both of the participants in a depossession and separation attempt. More often then not, the staggering and draining effect is shared by both Voodoo and her target as she, via her natural empathic abilities, seems to feel what they feel temporarily.
- Mind Lock: Voodoo has the ability to literally seize control over someone's mind, temporarily freezing and mentally controlling them. The less psionically resistant someone is, the easier it is for her to do this obviously. This is still a powerful ability as she was temporarily able to seize control over Spartan at one point during a training exercise. However, he later forced her out and the current version of Spartan is completely psi-immune. Voodoo is also able to enter minds, and manipulate an individuals powers and abilities from the outside. Which is how she shrinks Maul down whenever Maul loses control.
- Mental Illusion: Voodoo is capable of very minor telepathic illusions, used to briefly distract and deter and opponent. She is powerful enough to effect even the highly developed mind of a Kheribum Lord like Entropy,with illusions so believable, they are staggering.
- Empathy: Voodoo seemingly has slight empathic abilities that generate a magnetic attraction about her that members of the opposite sex can't help but notice her. If she's in a room chances are someone will pick her out or have their eyes drawn to her. She is naturally appealing, this power enhancing her already considerable beauty.
- Voodoo Magic: Voodoo learned a limited amount of voodoo magic from a Voodoo Priestess. Wishing to return to her voodoo rituals she sought to learn more from her southern roots.
- Necromancy: Voodoo has the ability to reanimate and control dead bodies.
- Magnetic Manipulation
- Daemonite Physiology: The following represents the potential alien abilities available to the average Daemonite while operating on Earth. Even if demonstration of such abilities has not been explicitly shown in a canonical resource. The higher the status of the Daemonite the stronger their abilities are. Training and practice of their abilities allow them to break the cap of their abilities. Variations of these powers may apply depending upon the wielder in question.
- Accelerated Healing: If a Daemonite is ever harmed it can heal indefinitely while it's brain still survives. Daemonites have been seen losing their limbs, internal organs and portions of their brains while still surviving. It also seems that Daemonites heal more quickly while resting within a host body.
- Chronokinesis Most Daemonites possess a degree of time manipulation however the exact limits of this ability are unknown.
- Claws: Daemonites have long, dangerous claws on each hand and foot which they use within combat and to help break the mental barrier of their host bodies. They can also expose these claws while within their host body to allow for stronger attacks.
- Fangs: Daemonites have long, dangerous fangs in their mouths which they use to rend and tear at targets. Their fangs can help them breach the mental barriers of their hosts. Some Daemonites use long tendrils instead of fangs for the same effects.
- Immortality: Daemonites have survived for countless years within and without a host body. It is assumed by scientists and enemies of the Daemonites that they are immortal; however, this may only be the case in mental form. As such Daemonites can in fact live forever if only while within a host body. Without a body it can still survive at least a million years.
- Metamorphosis: Only the strongest of Daemonites can shape-shift. Only the strongest of those Daemonites can change into inorganic material. A Daemonite can shape-shift even while possessing a host body but they'll normally revert quite quickly. Only one Daemonite has been seen shifting his body parts into inorganic material but the possibility remains for all Daemonites.
- Phasing: Daemonites have a degree of intangibility allowing them to phase through solid objects as they do when they take possession of a host body. They can continue to phase even while within their host body. Their phasing isn't automatic and they must concentrate to hold their form.
- Possession: Daemonites are parasitic beings that not only take complete control over another being's body but inhabits their mind as well. They feed on the nutrients and physiology of the host body until the body is destroyed or the Daemonite abandons it. Normally, possession causes no harm to the physical body but the process changes frequently. The stronger the Daemonite the easier the transition. Occasionally, the Daemonite can leave the host body violently and destroy the body.
- Superhuman Durability: A Daemonite's body is more durable than that of a human while on Earth. While some Daemonites cannot survive a bullet to the head which removes their brain functions others can take multiple bullets to their body without harm. Physical training can increase a Daemonite's durability.
- Superhuman Speed: A Daemonite's body is faster than that of a human while on Earth. Either while within a human host or not they exhibit incredible amounts of speed which can carry them to speeds that match that of most street cars while their physical capabilities of speed while in combat also increase past human levels.
This also confers: - Superhuman Strength: A Daemonite's body is stronger than that of a human while on Earth. When a Daemonite must they will resort to physical combat and exhibit their strength enough to roll over cars or rip off a door to a plane. A Daemonite's strength is determined by their physical capability and some Daemonites may not be as strong as others.
- Telepathy: Daemonites are not only physical beings that take possession of host bodies but they manipulate the mental effects of the beings as well. Not limited to only understanding the thoughts of each other or their hosts they can extend this ability to a wide range and even track targets by their mental signature. Most Daemonites are connected by a central mind which they do not need to focus to maintain.
- Expert Martial Artist: Zealot has trained her in the martial arts of The Coda.
- Occultism: She was also mentored in the use of Voodoo magic by a High Voodoo Priestess.
- Talented Dancer

History
Raven is the daughter and herald of the demon Trigon and a member of the Teen Titans.
Origin
Raven was born of the demon Trigon, a demonic entity who had conquered many worlds and fathered many sons. Raven was his first and only daughter. Trigon murdered the women who birthed his sons, however he allowed Raven's mother Arella to live, believing that Raven needed to be raised by a human in order to help her reshape the under-realms in his image. Afraid of what Trigon had in store for her daughter, Raven's mother took her daughter and fled to the dimension of Azarath, which was beyond Trigon's reach. Over time, the monks of that realm trained Raven to control her powers and overcome her father's influence. When Trigon finally found her again, Raven fled from Azarath to Earth in order to protect her mother and teachers. Eventually she was found by the immortal Phantom Stranger on Trigon's behalf. When she returned to Trigon's realm time itself flowed differently, and it was revealed that Trigon was impressed by her natural abilities, allowing her to have free will and shape her own destiny. He gave her a seat at his throne.
Return of Trigon
Raven returned to Earth to interfere with the fight between Trigon and the Teen Titans. She recruited Beast Boy, who had been left for dead in the rubble of an unknown facility. There Raven used her empathy powers to mind-control Beast Boy, making him her thrall. With Beast Boy in tow, Raven teleported to the middle of a battle between the Teen Titans and the psychic villain Psimon. Using Beast Boy she was able to knock out Psimon and cause his defeat. Meanwhile Trigon's three sons, Belial, Ruskoff, and Suge, assaulted the Teen Titans in an attempt to take Raven back. Raven, Beast Boy, and the Titans defeated them, but Trigon himself appeared again and took control of the Titans save for Raven, Beast Boy, and Red Robin. When the manipulated Titans attacked, Raven had Beast Boy distract them and Trigon long enough for Red Robin to cut through Trigon's eyes with his wings on his costume. Trigon, pulling out the wings from his eyes, complimented Red Robin before suddenly disappearing. Soon after, a woman and a group of suited men came through a portal, informing everyone that they would take Psimon into custody and make the incident appear as if it had never happened. When questioned about the police officers Psimon had killed, the woman revealed it had been a hallucination by Trigon, so therefore it had never happened. Raven and Beast Boy were re-accepted into the Teen Titans. While apart of the team Raven made things awkward for them by revealing all the relationships Red Robin had when under Trigon's control. Raven went into her room, leaving the awkward situation behind. There, she summoned her father, saying, "Father, I am one of them. Your plan worked perfectly," leaving questions on what side she was really playing for. Meanwhile, Red Robin called Raven aside, telling her that if something happened to him, the team would look
Forever Evil
When all of Earth's greatest heroes were gone and the Crime Syndicate of America had taken over the world, the Teen Titans attempted to challenge the Crime Syndicate. However, they were easily overpowered by Johnny Quick and Atomica and were then flung into the time stream. While the Titans were constantly flung through time, Raven was sent a few thousand years back in time. There, she was challenged by Etrigan the Demon, who recognized her as Trigon's daughter and tried to kill her. Raven was saved by Wonder Girl, who suggested that the way to stop Raven's powers, since she was born and raised in a world between worlds, was to manipulate the energy within the time stream. Raven succeeded in anchoring the Titans with her soul-self, teleporting them through time. The Titans arrived 20 years into the future, where Jonathan Lane Kent had massacred most of Earth's superheroes, leaving only a few, including Beast Boy, now calling himself Beast Man, and Rose Wilson. Kon-El and Jon battled, and Kon triumphed. Kon was then sent elsewhere by an unknown power, and a severely injured Jon was swapped unknowingly as Superboy by Beast Boy and Rose Wilson.
Trial of Kid Flash
While traveling through time Raven and the Titans arrived to the 30th century, where they found out that their teammate Kid Flash was actually a rebel leader and war criminal, named Bar Torr. It was during this time that Raven deduced that the Superboy with them was actually Jon, and she helped send him back to the present time so that he could find a cure for his deteriorating body condition. After leaving Kid Flash and Solstice in the future, Raven and the others returned to their original time where she discovered that her connection with Trigon had been severed.
The Culling
Following an attack by the villain Grimm, the Titans planned a final attack on Harvest's new colony. Raven was reluctant to join because of her past actions, but after Bunker told her that everybody deserved a second chance, Raven changed her mind. In the colony, the Teen Titans were surprised to find that everyone is returned to normal, and even the victims of the Culling had been restored to life. Raven played a crucial role by finding out Harvest's scheme to extract all the metagenes to create a massive DNA strand for his usage. Raven destroyed it using her soul-self, leaving Harvest to finally be defeated.
The White Carnival
After the Titans separated, Raven found out that her mother had a sister living in San Francisco. She decided to visit her aunt so that she could learn more about her mother's side of the family. Raven was surprised to discover that her Aunt Alice and her family are dedicated Christians. During her stay, Raven attended Madison High School where she cast a spell on several students, in order to have a group of friends and fit in. She soon came across one student that was seemingly under the control of a mysterious white orb which had begun to grow near a carnival. The orb fed on the souls of the young, and Raven did her best to try and stop it. After several attempts, she failed, until her aunt and the citizens of San Francisco gave her the strength that she needed to defeat the orb and wipe everyone's memories of the event.
Rebirth
Some time after leaving the Teen Titans, Raven set out to learn more about her family and her father Trigon. During this time she lived in a museum, until one day she found herself knocked unconscious. When Raven came to, she found herself in an unknown location alongside several other young superheroes including her former teammate Beast Boy, the new Kid Flash, and Starfire. The identity of her captor was revealed to be Robin who explained that he had kidnapped them in order to recruit them to his new Teen Titans team. He went on to explain that he needed each of their unique skills in order to take down his grandfather Ra's al Ghul and the League of Assassins.

Origin
Purgatori's beginnings are in the pages of the Lady Death's first outing The Reckoning as mere side-note, the vanished lover of Lucifer, in the very first issue. Her first appearance was Lady Death's second series Between Heaven and Hell, where she played the role of protagonist. We get a view of her beginnings as a devil worshiper in ancient Egypt to the Devil's devious whore to a shadowy figure that torments Lady Death with her telepathic powers before a physical battle takes place. She is something of an antithesis of Lady Death, being secretive, cowardly, using illusion, and not afraid to backstab or strike low to achieve her goals.
Quickly becoming a fan favorite, Purgatori spawned her own series that, as with all Chaos Comics properties, interwove with other Chaos characters on a regular basis. Always the aggressor, Purgatori is characterized as an untrustworthy vampiric goddess with a lust for the blood of deities. On occasion she has held uneasy truces, but the moment that is not longer in her interests she reverts to aggressor.
Creation
As with Lady Death, Purgatori is the creation of Brian Pulido, the head of Chaos Comics and principal writer for the company he founded to develop and explore his characters. Her classic appearance as a sexy red demoness was designed by Steven Hughes, Pulido's longtime collaborator. Over the years many artists have drawn Purgatori and she is probably the most diversely illustrated of all Chaos Comics characters, with many people creating story runs with many different styles and looks.
Character Evolution
Created as a nemesis for Lady Death, Purgatori quickly found her place in the Chaos Universe and has never strayed from those roots. Her self-service and lust for power are always the basis of her character.
Major Story Arcs
Chaos Comics Era:
Sakkara
Enslaved Sakkara
She was born in Egypt (1390 B.C.) and raised in the city of Alexandria. Her parentage is not known, but she has the blood of Fallen Angels flowing in her veins. She was one of half of the population that was enslaved to work on Queen Ostraca's lavish tomb that ensured her passing into the afterlife. Sakkara had to work in the hot sun, brutally whipped by the male guards.
A Celtic man once told her how to escape slavery and gain immortality but before she could think on this, her life was changed. The Queen came to inspect the progress in her chariot and almost ran Sakkara over. She was going to berate the slave girl for not moving fast enough but became entranced with the girl's blue eyes and beauty. Queen Ostraca was known for her love of women, and Sakkara became the greatest woman in her harem, eventually marrying the Queen and living a life of utter bliss and luxury.
But her life once again changed when Queen Ostraca realized the rebellious slave force would soon quit working on her tomb and she would not enter the afterlife. So after making a deal with General Ramses, he became Pharaoh as long as he would keep the population in check, and he would be her only lover. So her harem was slaughtered, and when Sakkara returned to see this, she escaped the guards by jumping out a window in a suicide attempt, but fate intervened, and she landed in a wagon of carpets. So after thinking things over, she decided she did not want to die, she wanted immortality, and vengeance.
Rath
Rath
She sought out the Celtic man, finding him being beaten to death by the guards who were tired of his rantings. She killed them and he managed to hold onto his life force long enough to tell her his secret. Across the blazing desert and into a cave set into a mountain she trekked, barely surviving. She finally stood before Rath, an ancient Celtic vampire. She wished for immortality to seek revenge and he for a weapon to divert man from his path to becoming a civilized people. She, filled with rage, was that weapon, and biting her, he drained her of her own blood, giving her some of his own, and as their blood mingled she became an immortal vampire.
His blood and her blood (of the Fallen Angels) mixed to form a creature unique throughout time and space. A beautiful creature with blood red skin, glowing white eyes, horns and wings. She returned to Alexandria on the wedding night of the Queen and attacked the guests, transforming the samurai, Kabala and Jade into vampires. She then proceeded to start riots in Alexandria by instigating rebellion. As for Ostraca and Ramses, she bit them and buried them alive in the Queen's sarcophagus. They were rescued five days later, but they had already turned vampiric and without blood had become wizened and insane, and so they remained forever.
Purgatori
Rath left to his own task and Sakkara learned that the blood of gods, especially in torment holds extreme power. Lucifer then became entranced by her and came to her bringing her to Hell where she was to be his wife. But she had other plans and in the bedchamber she bit him. He was infuriated with her but impressed at her spirit so he cast in her in the Nexus Of All Things. She was left in exile in the city of Necropolis and he gave her a new name...Purgatori.
She remained there for millennia feasting on the inhabitants, transforming Necropolis into her own image. She could not pass through the Nexus but she saw Marion do so and one day, with her chimera, she trapped Marion studying her and the Nexus for 400 years, looking for a way to return to Hell. She was forced to take action when (at the instigation of Lady Death) the Fallen Angels fought in a bid to rule Hell, and so they went for Necropolis first. She used Marion's soul to pass through the Nexus and she found that she had returned to Hell. Now her one desire was the blood of Hell's ruler, Lady Death and the soul inside her, that of Lucifer.
Lady Death
Purgatori vs Lady Death
She camped by the River Styx with her jackals and located the Cremator, entranced him and turned him against Lady Death. She had him forge a magical sword that would allow her to reclaim Lucifer's soul. She cast a spell that severed the psychic link between Evil Ernie and Lady Death and dealt harshly with Mary Young who had arrived in Hell to kill Lady Death.
Purgatori then began tormenting Lady Death, twisting her memories, plaguing her with illusions, all to make her blood richer and sweeter. She then had Cremator attack Lady Death, attacking her soon after and in a long battle her jackals lost to the Nameless Wolves but she effortlessly defeated Lady Death (who was wearing Purgatori's wedding dress).
But when Purgatori impaled Lady Death with the Cremator's sword her magic backfired and allowed Lady Death to escape. Purgatori was plunged into Styx, forcing her to tell the truth and it was then revealed that Lucifer's soul had never been inside Lady Death.
Lucifer appeared before them to confirm this, as he had been playing Hope for a fool as a game. But annoyed at having his hand shown his took Purgatori to Dis and tortured her and turned Lady Death into a creature of evil, Lady Demon.
The next day, Purgatori and Lady Demon were pitted against each other in Hell's Arena. Purgatori was still weak from the torture and lost the match, refusing to reveal the whereabouts of Marion's soul. She was drained of her powers and cast through the Nexus, sending her to the place she loathed more extremely than any other...Earth. Her power gone; the separation spell began to erode.
Jade, Kabala and the Samurai
Jade & Kabala
On October 13, 1995, Purgatori arrived in San Francisco. Victim to her own ravenous thirst she found her desire at a local lesbian S&M bar. She was then attack by a tormented creature, he called himself the Faithless One. She killed him shortly thereafter, at the very instant of the Pandora Effect.
But her arrival on Earth had not gone unnoticed: Jade and Kabala came to her, letting her know of their intentions...to kill her, she was also being tracked by her creator, Rath. She knew she was weak, so she became a stowaway on a freighter, making her way back to Alexandria. She hoped that confrontation of her enemies on home turf would give her advantage. But her arrival once again caused havoc; the ship crashed and the explosion caused by this event almost obliterated the port from existence.
She was then ambushed and mind probed by Jade, she and Kabala wanted to know one thing - why they had been made into vampires. Purgatori forced an image of Lucifer upon Jade who became horrified and for a moment, vulnerable. Purgatori drank of her blood, losing it seconds later when Rath chose that moment to kidnap her for interrogation, draining her of her new power.
Rath told her that he would save her from her enemies if only she would bow to him and accept him as her master. Though she was weak and helpless, she still refused, so he left her to Jade and Kabala. She was then taken to Africa, where they probed her mind. They were enraged to learn that their creation was a mistake in a moment of passion. They continuously tortured her, trying to make her beg for her life, but she still refused to submit.
Rath arrived telling her that he was merely testing her limits. He was then attacked by the samurai, and Purgatori, drenched in his blood, gained tremendous amounts of raw power. She then killed Kabala, however Jade escaped.
Rath then offered to teach her yet again but she spat in his face, as she could never side with someone who had used her like this.
Evil Ernie
Versus Evil Ernie
She returned to the USA, and frequently came across traces of Dracula. Tracking him down, she found him at his castle, where they made love and Dracula swore his loyalty to Purgatori.
Once again she returned to America, to trap Evil Ernie, Lady Death's lover. In the midst of a battle she appeared through the blood of Mary Young (as she had a link) and easily knocked out and kidnapped Chastity.
She brought her to Los Angeles, as she had recruited The Savior (formerly The Faithless One) to do her work. The Savior was setting up Ernie, while Purgatori played with Chastity, scanning her mind to learn of her history and taking her to a lesbian bar, solely for pleasure.
But the night out was ruined when she sensed The Savior's failure. So she took Chastity with her and attacked Ernie herself. She entered his mind, learning that he could shape reality. But before anything could be done, Ernie's Cyber Dead attacked the house, destroying it. She was forced to flee but her mind probing resulted in Ernie's break up with Chastity.
Then traveling to the ruins of New York, she sought out the blood of the Fallen Angels that she had sensed. It was here that she encountered Metatron and Blattidae, who informed her of an ancient prophecy.
This prophecy detailed her life history and of her return to Goddesshood. So during her battle with Metatron she began to doubt she was just a common vampire, realizing that part of the problem was that she wasted her time with lesser creatures rather than aiming higher. She left New York to Blattidae as most of her army had been crucified by Metatron, and she began to plot her Ascension.
She traveled to Necropolis, she found it in ruins and was attacked by Rath's brother, Rubicante. He knew of her abilities and wished to test her so he teleported her to the nightmare world of Transdaemoniium.
She overcame an attack by the freaks that inhabited the realm and sensing Lady Death she tracked her down, lusting for revenge.
Lady Death acted as if she did not care to fight, then proceeded to use her sword, Nightmare, to battle in her stead. It swallowed Purgatori, but she was well equipped in magic and Blood Alchemy, allowing her to escape.
Now she was ready to fight Lady Death, yet again but she knew that if she did not leave Transdaemoniium immediately she never would. She took the blood energy from Nightmare and left for Earth...where a war between the vampire clans was under way.
Satrina, Karmilla and Dracula
Satrina
She had now become the CEO of Isis International, and so went on a quest across the globe, seeking objects of power. First on the list were the prophetic hieroglyphics in New York that spoke of her using mercenaries. They were attacked by Metatron's army but they were easily dealt with.
In Cairo her work was interrupted by illusions that were revealed to be the work of her ex-lover, Satrina. She returned to seduce Purgatori yet again as well as showed her the struggles across the world. It taught Purgatori that strength alone was not enough, her (and her army) must all have faith in herself no matter what the cost or if all hope is lost. Satrina then left her, leaving behind a vampire hunter Karmilla to assassinate Purgatori.
Purgatori watched the vampire war behind-the-scenes and judged that Dracula was too powerful. But she was attacked by Karmilla (who had been given powers by Satrina) but she effortlessly defeated her, leaving her to be tortured in the dungeon. Karmilla escapes but Purgatori deflected the teleportation spell, so she could leave Karmilla in the cold tundra to die. Meanwhile Purgatori traveled to the Invisible Village, to find out if Rath had given Karmilla her power.
But Karmilla followed her, armed with the Spine of Eden, but she attacked Rath instead as she was tricked (by Purgatori) into believing he had kidnapped her children. During this battle, she learns that it was Satrina who had betrayed her only to be trapped and nearly killed by the Spine of Eden. She escaped by turning herself into liquid blood and she obliterated Karmilla.
Next she went to Shanghai, planning to take down Jade's empire and to take the Chalice of Regeneration. She was attacked in the Sun nightclub but she rid herself of her attacks meeting up with Dracula, who was also after the Chalice.
United they worked together to assault Jade at her fortress and Purgatori nearly killed her by shoving her onto a stake. Dracula left her during the fight to get the Chalice himself. But Purgatori became enraged at being used and followed him, nearly getting killed by Blood Sect vampires armed with bullets lethal to vampires. She eventually defeated them and Dracula and recovered the Chalice. Dracula fled, happy that she had strengthened his position immeasurably in the vampire war by tearing apart Jade's empire.
She eventually became fed up with Dracula, the latest insult being that his name was mentioned in a conversation at the Usher club. So she teleported to his castle where she found everyone dead. Fooled by the only survivor, she was led into and trapped in a furnace, nearly incinerated. But she managed to escape by taking the blood of the bait victim and teleported to freedom.
Weakened and without anything to feed on she found she was in the catacombs underneath the Vatican where she was attacked by the undead. She bested them but Dracula joined in, trying to dominate her mind. He gave her the choice to use his army, if only she would join him. But of course she refused to side with someone who had used her.
In the ensuing fight, they ended upon the roof of the Vatican, ensnared by the Octarine chains Purgatori had found in the treasure rooms. Dawn was coming fast, and she was only saved at the last moment by Pope Stephen, he saw that she was the stronger vampire and was more likely to win the war. She then tore out Dracula's fangs and escaped just before Dracula was burned forever by the rising sun.
Gorge Gorge
Purgatori decided to take Satrina back once again, as her lover. She saw Satrina's treacherous nature arousing and they united together to take down Pope Stephen who wished to take Purgatori's power.
Yet she was still not satisfied, she felt that she was just as far from her goal of achieving the rank of goddess as she was when she began this quest.
So she departed for Cairo where she studied the prophecy hieroglyphs. While she was gone Satrina began an invocation ritual, planning to summon a demon and steal Purgatori's power. She was going to kill her lover so she could become the goddess instead. But the spell was corrupted and instead Gorge was raised, he had been watching Purgatori from his home in the Unknown. And so when Purgatori returned from Cairo, she discovered the betrayal on her own and ripped out Satrina's heart, killing her.
Gorge then revealed to Purgatori that she was his blood-mother and he was going to help her Ascension. She felt that she had to leave her humanity behind her, as it was her weakness. So she partially destroyed the Isis International buildings. Gorge showed her many things that she needed to learn, including the fact that she had the power of all those she had killed at her disposal. He also showed her Rath's creation at the hands of Satrina, she suspected they were still working with each other. So she tracked him to the Serengeti where she killed Rubicante by ripping his spine out. But Rath revealed that he was actually there to help her.
Odin, Armageddon and Mitchell Wardlow
Wielding Odin's Power
Gorge then brought her to the Unknown where countless dead became her willing army, as they would follow anyone as long as they could fight again. She used her rapidly expanding powers to garb them in blood armor and then proceeded to destroy Asgard as a training exercise. She was unaware that Odin was one of the many warriors in her army. Her army pillaged Asgard, killing some but converting most to become her warriors. Purgatori then defeated Odin and stole his powers. But Vandala and Vulnavia fled the desolation, trying to bring Frigga to safety. But Purgatori followed them to Transdaemoniium where she killed Frigga. Vulnavia then cut off her hand, which immediately regenerated and Purgatori bit Vulnavia, making her into yet another faithful convert. She then fought with Matthias (who had been banished there by Lady Death) and she took possession of Nightmare. Vandala escaped with help from Brock and Grimnir, seeking out Lady Death.
Purgatori burned Transdaemoniium and departed for Earth, determined to seek out and destroy Lady Death. She assaulted Lady Death's fortress in Oblivion and after a time-consuming battle she was stabbed in the heart by the Death Scythe and so degenerated into a pool of blood.
But Armageddon resurrected her using his awesome power, she was then taken as his servant and ordered to kill Lady Death. So she attacked Lady Death's armies eventually sneaking off to attack Armageddon, her true motives revealed to be to steal his blood and power. But when she bit him the raw energy within his powerful blood poisoned her, driving her into unconsciousness.
Nightmare was then taken from her collapsed body and used to attack Armageddon. Armageddon was killed but in his last act of defiance he unleashed the Uncreation Wave, meant to destroy everything throughout the cosmos. But it was manipulated by Mitchell Wardlow to instead create eight parallel universes. Purgatori recovered just before she was swallowed by the Uncreation Wave.
Empire
Empress
Purgatori was recreated on new world named "Dark Millennium". She had taken control of old Egypt lands and ruled it as an Empress. She occasionally walked the streets to see the state of her empire. On one of the walks she saved a human slave, and took her as her lover. Her former lover Vulnavia didn't like that though and attacked Purgatori. Purgatori defeated Vulnavia easily and asked her new lover to decide the punishment. She chose to exile Vulnavia to live on the blood of reptiles and scorpions.
Purgatori found love again and offered anything she wanted to the slave and lover; she asked a name Sakkara. Purgatori was honored that her lover would want her old name as her own, and granted her wish. Purgatori's empire was then attacked by Arhiman, his undead warriors tried to assassinate Purgatori, while he himself influenced people to overthrow Purgatori's rule. Purgatori survived the assassins, but was too tired to fight Arhiman and lost; she was imprisoned under sunlight; being a blood goddess she didn't die from it, but she was greatly weakened by it. It didn't fit with the plans of one traveler who visited Purgatori earlier though. He broke in and gave Purgatori the gift he brought earlier, the blood of the Nameless Wolf. It was strong blood and it revitalized Purgatori. Purgatori then again fought Arhiman and defeated him, doing that it also freed her people from his control. Back in her bedchamber, Purgatori learned that her new lover wanted to kill her and claim the throne herself; Purgatori used magic to turn her into a living statue.
Old Enemies
The cloaked stranger had a plan to ensure their dominance over earth. It required Nocturne's grimoire. Purgatori agreed to the plan if the stranger would acquire it. Right after they had the grimoire, Lady Death attacked Purgatori's empire and wanted back what was stolen from her. Two archenemies fought again, but this time Purgatori was victorious, and she infected Lady Death with a blood disease to slowly kill her; then Vandala arrived and carried Lady Death away. Purgatori was free to use the grimoire to conquer earth.
During the incantation the power flew into the stranger, who turned out to be Pagan. Pagan had only used Purgatori to further his own goals, and Purgatori didn't like that. Fortunately, Vandala contacted her soon after and offered an alliance to fight against Pagan who now was the avatar of Abaddon. On the battlefield she was joined by Asteroth, Michael and Lady Death, each with their own army. At first Purgatori and lady Death promised to bury their hated for one another, but Purgatori was unable to keep her word and attacked Lady Death at the end. Asteroth managed to distract Purgatori long enough for Lady Death to defeat Pagan; being outnumbered, Purgatori left.
New Earth
Return of Sakkara
Some time later Asteroth army neared Purgatori's eastern border and she was delighted by the news; she could once again spill blood on the battlefield. Being in a good mood, she even let the warrior Thoth live after he dared to advise Purgatori how to make war. On the battlefield Purgatori once again saw a magician who had appeared in her visions before and was drawn away from the battle. When she awoke, she was on another Earth and again in her human form and she remembered herself to be only human Sakkara. She wasn't given long to adjust to the new world and was attacked, with the help of the sorcerer they escaped. They then were chased by vampires, Sakkara somehow knew who they were and knew how to kill them. One of the vampires revealed that they wasn't there to harm her, but to protect her and took her to their master Dracula's mansion.
The vampire and the sorcerer filled Sakkara in on her past, but were soon attacked again. Sakkara was shot, as was the sorcerer; sorcerer then asked Sakkara to feed on him before he dies so that she might live. While Sakkara drank, she felt power, but still couldn't remember who she was. The vampire then led her to safety and away from sun. In a hurry the left the sorcerer's book behind, it was a powerful book and Sakkara wanted it back. Next night they returned to the mansion, only to find that House Danton had sent his men to retrieve the book and sorcerer's body.
Sakkara and her companion escaped again and followed House Danton men to their base. Sakkara arrives too late and the head of House Danton used the book to empower himself again. During the fight Sakkara managed to feed on an angel who had attacked them and remembered who she is; she again transformed into Purgatori. Her general Thoth also had come to this reality to help her return to her empire, but Purgatori wanted to explore the new realm. Thoth was summoned back to his own realm, and Purgatori was left alone in this new realm.
Now able to turn from human Sakkara to Purgatori at will, she learns new sensations as a human. She even discovered that when in her human form she needs to eat regular food instead of blood, but when she turns into her Purgatori form the regular food she have eaten before makes her weaker. She found some humans who were willing to serve her and to be her food.
New Love
Purgatori / Rakshasa / Isis
Purgatori was contacted by Hatem from Egypt, at first he ordered his men to attack her, to draw out her red-skinned form. When Purgatori shifted from her human form at last, the man offered her a chance to taste the power of gods. At first Purgatori refused, but changed her mind after some thinking. In Cairo she met other five contenders; they were to do battle, to see which three are worthy to wield godly powers.
Purgatori met Rakshasa there, and fell in love from the first sight. Each showed what unique power they had, but Purgatori refused, and they then were shown to their rooms. Purgatori went to Rakshasa's room and they spent the night together. Rakshasa confessed that this was the first time she met a half-human, half something else; Purgatori got offended hearing that she's part human and left. She then met another contestant, a mage. He was mad that a mere vampire was worthy enough. The two have a major fight and only stop when Hatem came between them. Hatem also learned that Purgatori wanted to cast a counter-spell to make the power work for her, not to be only as a host to Set. Came the day of the competition; Purgatori was pitted against the mage again. Purgatori won by turning the mage's blood inside him against him. Other contenders joined the hurt magician while Rakshasa chose Purgatori's side. During the ensuing fight, three of contestants died. This bloodshed worked for the gods, and they came to this world.
However, Set chose not to take Purgatori as the host and resurrected the dead magician instead. Isis took over Rakshasa. Isis then asked Purgatori to merge with her too, to be more powerful, and to fight against Set and Tehut. Purgatori agrees, but she was too powerful for Isis and took control over the joined form. Purgatori learned a location of Kelethar, old city of the gods, a place she had searched from an old grimoire written by vampires. She easily defeated Set and Tehut, and then she separated herself and Rakshasa from Isis; denying her the flesh she needed to exist in this realm. Purgatori and Rakshasa then walked into the sunlight together, as she had discovered that her human can stand the light. Their search for Kelethar was interrupted when a messiah of sorts appeared in Egypt. Purgatori and Rakshasa went to investigate. While there, Purgatori was attacked by none other by Lucifer himself, he was back from the dead, and he raped Purgatori. He then teleported Purgatori to the Arctic and kidnapped Rakshasa; saying that he has a plan for her. Purgatori was saved from the frozen wasteland by Bedlam, who took her to Lady Death. At first she was furious, but Lady Death stayed her hand and let her live. They now had a similar quest to destroy Lucifer.

Along her many travels Purgatori had acquired a great many items of interest in her quest for omnipotence. Mystical relics older than human history to high tech human made devices which serve her purposes in her path to conquest.
- Chalice of Regeneration: A keepsake of Lucifer's before his fall to devildom. It carries his blood within its cup which never runs out, constantly refilling itself and brimming with odd powers.
- Nightmare: A demonic blade forged in the realm of Asgard, once belonging to Lady Death it changed hands to her father whom then lost it to Purgatori.
- Neurotech: Once coming into conflict with Mistress Hel's new lover Evil Ernie, the evil Demi-Goddess sensed opportunity in enslaving the earth using it to amplify her psychic powers 100 fold.
While still technically stronger and tougher than either of the species she stems from Purgatori still falls prey to many faults that come with her undying being. For instance while immune to silver, garlic, holy water and such she can still catch fire if caught under the rays of the sun; but this will not kill her as her blood alchemy vastly augments her regenerative abilities. Above all else Sakkara's twisted thirst for blood rules much of her actions especially the blood of the divine.
Seeing as regular human blood usually lacks the restorative properties typical for many vampires, though this maybe due more to her sensitive pallet than the effectiveness of it. Likewise blood can also be her Achilles heel as it can be blessed, cursed or intoxicated in a way that makes it caustic to her if ingested. Naturally she is also vulnerable to various enchanted weapons and armaments used against her or any armaments of equal power within her possession.
