My Geekdom
I’m not always crazy about her wardrobe, but with the power to control weather, she can wear whatever she wants. Aside from the fact that Storm is a strong black female character, she has one the most amazing and impactful powers in all the Marvel universe. When I think about really great superheroes, I consider what the impact of their abilities would be if they were actually villains.
If Storm was a bad guy, she could wipe out entire nations with floods, tornados, etc… I like to be inspired by characters like this when writing fantasy because it keeps me from being lazy with my creativity and imagination.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post. If you like it let me know and share it with others. See you next time, Toi Thomas. #thetoiboxofwords

Thanks so much for stopping by and for kudos. I can’t believe I won. 😀
Good point – think of the damage she could do if she was evil.
Sometimes choosing not to be a bad guy is all it takes to be a hero. Think all the people everyday who choose do to the right thing eventhough the wrong thing is easier.
