This topic has been an age old discussion among storm fans since the installment of mutant classifications. With that being said, I feel that it is time for Storm to be labeled an omega-level mutate. Here's why:
I know that some of you may be opposed to the idea because omega-level or not, Storm is very powerful and doesn't need some label to rectify that. Storm deserves this label, however, because she has shown and proved omega-level feats time and time again. I find it unfair for writers to give other characters this label and they have not done half the work to deserve the omega-level title that Storm has. Out of respect for the character, Storm needs to be officially labeled as an omega-level mutant. No shade to Hope Summers, but what has Hope been shown to do to be labeled an omega-level mutant? Yea, She had an "omega-level" temper tantrum, but should that really solidify her being labeled as an omega-level? Once more, No shade to Hope, but that is like labeling an intern as a Doctor, and labeling the Doctor as a nurse. We've seen Storm have a "temper tantrum" and let's just say that I think Dr. Doom wouldn't want to see her have another one.
I could compare some of the feats Storm has done to other omega-levels in order to support my argument, however, this thread was not created to compare her skill set to other mutants. I made this thread to make other Storm supporters aware of the ongoing issue of Storm not getting her credit that is way overdue. i believe that as Storm supporters it is our responsibility to educate this to our peers and the writers. I'm pretty sure most of those writers wouldn't appreciate it if we labeled them as "Journalist" for Marvel. 9 times out of 10, they'll feel disrespected because they've done the necessary work to be given the title as a writer. The same hold's true for Storm.
I think we've past the time to beg the writers to write a story where she is identified as an omega-level. I think that we should begin to declare it to them in a respectful and professional manner.
