Born to an American photo journalist and Kenyan princess, Ororo Munroe is one of the most recognizabe superheroines in the Marvel Universe. Using her unique ability to see and manipulate natural energy patterns of the universe to summon any type of weather phenomenon she desires in the blink of an eye, she is called Storm.
@butterflykyss: she held in their pretty well. People will immediately associate Jean with PF and thats a wrap.
Plus, now that its on panel that she is more powerful than the PF its an upgrade that puts her above Storm in overall power. She isn’t currently written that way (new UXM is a PISsy toilet out the gate) but the annual canonized her power being greater than the PF.

that's a good point and I didnt think of that thanks thunder. I honestly was very upset that that fans didnt come through and show out. she had beaten Rachel but I know she is more obscure character than jean. I large part of me thought it was some being done by haters of storm. now the bright side was that emma and cyclops didnt make it. lolol
and to jean being more powerful than the Phoenix force I call it wank for the reasons you did. I know in red or the resurrection book the Phoenix was holding her back yet there hasnt been any demonstration of her being stronger than the Phoenix in red. so until that happens I just call it writers wank of the character lol. that said, with or without the Phoenix I know many associate jean with Phoenix and being more powerful so it is what it is (even if jean doesnt have the kind of feats storm has without the Phoenix force)
Did you guys notice in Uncanny X-Men #10 how Storm was treated as the big threat of the 4 Horsemen? None of the X-Men cared about or even mentioned the threat of Magneto. Instead, they saw Storm as the big threat and stated that they could not win this fight with Storm on X-Man's team and that she was wiping out the X-Men.
Storm was X-Men's big gun, not Magneto. Finally, a writer who gives Storm her due acknowledging that she's much more powerful than the Master of Magnetism.
And then she does this after she's freed from X-Man's/Legion's hold:
@stormcell: Lol yeah it was an entertaining read (sans the end). I was expecting more from Meggan though. Like Polaris vs Magneto (held her own which was impressive) and then a Meggan vs Storm. But yeah Psylocke's reaction to Storm's effectiveness on the battlefield was a nice nod.

I didn't see Meggan vs. Storm. Can you post the scan? That said, I think the reason Meggan couldn't do much is because she was up against a much more powerful elemental on the Horsemen: Storm. So, with a million X-Men present, including Meggan, Jean, Psylocke, Cuckoos, etc., it was established that Storm was wiping them out and they had no hope of winning as long as Ororo was on X-Man's side.
To boot, even Apocalypse was on the field when this was stated. That means if Poccy was on X-Man's side, Storm was viewed to be a much bigger threat than him, and if Poccy was on the X-Men's side, it means even with him, the good guys could not prevail with Ororo against them.
Here is the Poccy scan to show that he was fighting: https://2.bp.blogspot.com/TBhyhE8LrnVgFg40ypaVDiOZsrEY1kt-GYHrYgKwYZVlahOUc3I4f3uSI6rkpqRnXYcKH9riKVFLGnvelVjYxXaBB_T44Hq6Xc9U-fKSQVNfQr-AZ0lroc-5G-d5IoEvin0fHZ7kZQ=s1600
So, it looks like Poccy is fighting on the side of the X-Men given he appears to be battling Magneto in that scan. That means Magneto defeat Polaris since he was no longer fighting her.
