History

Storm (Ultimate)

Life before the X-Men

In the Ultimate Marvel continuity, Storm has been re-imagined as an illegal immigrant from Morocco who settled in Harlem, New York. She made a living stealing cars before joining the X-Men.

Using his Cerebro machine, Professor Xavier 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 lightening 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 convinced 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.

X-Men

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 had chosen the codename Storm for herself, became interested in and began a relationship with fellow X-Man Henry "Hank" McCoy, the Beast. 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.

Relationship with Wolverine

After Beast's death, Storm takes much time to heal emotionally. Eventually, Storm begins to flirt with fellow X-Man Wolverine. Initially, Wolverine rejects her, partially because of his feelings for Jean Grey and partially because he leaves the X-Men. When he leaves Xavier's school, Storm chooses to follow him and the pair has returns to the X-Men.
