Biography
Origin
Ororo Munroe
X-Men
Whilst in prison, Scythian of the Negative Zone managed to arrive on Earth and sought to destroy it. Ororo came to be buried in some debris where in her frustration and helplessness she inadvertently called the hammer Stormcaster from Old Asgard that came to her hand. With her increased power, she participated in the battle against Scythian and defeated the entity. (X-Men: Gold v2 #25)
Uovu claimed responsibility for their resurrection with Ororo later investigating the village only to discover the dead had been hidden underground and brought under the dark gods control. When confronting Uovu, the mysterious being attacked Storm who attempted to call upon Stormchaser but it did not respond. (X-Men: Gold v2 #34) This nearly led to her death but the hammer eventually arrived where it formed a portal for the X-Men to aid their comrade against the villain. With its power, Ororo was able to vanquish Uovu though this spent the last magic of Stormcaster that vanished. With the villain's defeat, the resurrected people similarly vanished with Ainet forgiving Storm for not returning to the village. She became determined to visiting her home village more frequently as a friend to ensure that the people never fell under the influence of evil again. (X-Men: Gold v2 #35)
House of X
After the establishment of Krakoa, the living island came to be declared a nation that was to be a homeland to all Mutants who were invited to reside on it.

Overview
Personality and attributes
After marrying T'Challa, her married name was Ororo Iqadi T'Challa though in the Hausa dialect her title took around five minutes to recite. As the Queen of Wakanda, she was known by the official short form title as Ororo Komo Wakandas. In France, she was called La Reine Storm which tended to amuse her. (Astonishing X-Men v3 #25) As one of the Horsemen of Salvation, she came to be the Horseman of Life. (Uncanny X-Men v5 #9)
Powers and abilities
It came to be known as Stormcaster which was believed to had been destroyed. (X-Men: To Serve and Protect v1 #3) However, it still existed and came to reside in Old Asgard. (X-Men: Gold v2 #25) This was until it was awakened by a prayer where it moved to Storm's hand and transformed her to give her divine Asgardian power. (X-Men: Gold v2 #33)
Ororo later came to wield one of the Arms of Wakanda where she came to take the fabled sword Skybreaker that was forged by the founding Father of Wakanda. The weapon was constructed from Vibranium where it could never dull and had the power to amplify energy. Typically, it was only stored within the Temple of the Heart of Wakanda and was sacred to the nation with only the King wielding it. However, Storm came to forcibly take it from its resting place in order to wield it against the forces of Arrako. (Marauders v1 #13)
