Day 6

Day 6- Favorite superhero and why

My favorite hero has to be Storm for sure. Does she even count as a superhero? I don’t ever remember her ever going solo and saving the world by herself.

But whatever.

Her back story always interested me and the comics with her being the main protagonist always intrigued me.

According to Wikipedia:

“Ororo’s mother, N’Dare, is the princess of a tribe in Kenya and the descendant of a long line of African witch-priestesses with white hair, blue eyes, and a natural gift for sorcery. N’Dare falls in love with and marries American photojournalist David Munroe. They move to Harlem in uptown New York City, where she becomes pregnant with Ororo and bears her, and then to Egypt during the Suez Crisis, where they are killed in a botched aircraft attack and leave six-year-old Ororo as an orphan. There, her violent claustrophobia is also established as a result of being buried under tons of rubble after that attack. She then becomes a skilled thief in Cairo under the benign Achmed el-Gibar and wanders into the Serengeti as a young woman. There, she is worshipped as a goddess before being recruited by Professor X for the X-Men.”

Bomb stuff.

w/ love,
