Well, the first time I saw Elena, she reminded me of Storm right away because of the skin color and the white hair. As I looked closer, she also has blue eyes and read that she is an African. So did they create Elena as Street Fighter's version of Storm?
Elena
Character » Elena appears in 33 issues.
The warrior princess of an African tribe that has a cultural tradition of fighting, Elena is a skilled combatant who practices the Brazilian art of Capoeira.
Did they create Elena as Street Fighter's version of Storm?
I don't think so... but there is some similarities, mostly skin tone and hair color. That's it really.

Yes they did. During that time, they were in their comic phase. They made Q after Rorschach, who is based off Question. They were largely more into western culture and fiction in the late 90's.

Which means absolutely nothing.
Let me rephrase his statement: Not all Black People with light facial features are based off Storm.
I really don't know why you'd think Capcom even wants a counterpart to Storm.

Storm is the only african comic character with white hair and blue eyes. I think
Not sure why, but i find it very ignorant when, for some reason, said character and other said character somehow lookalike because sad character's skin colour.
I would definitely understand if it was only the hair color that they have in common but if Elena is also african, has blue eyes and comes from a royal family.
Maybe somebody can provide a link how Capcom created Elena?
I would assume Storm and Elena are related....maybe cousins. I could go with that since Marvel Vs. Capcom characters ending make it look like it's a shared universe. Plus Elena does have magical healing powers and is a naturalist. (Iirc)
