Storm


Storm was an African weather 'Goddess' turned shoulder pad loving X-Woman. She likes to throw lightning around and make bad romantic choices. Has big white hair which is not a weave (ask The Thing).
Styles

Emblem: NoneHands: FormalWaist: BanditoFeet: Thigh-HighChest: ScubaLegs: Scuba,
Back: Vengeance VariantSkin: Human Skin 03Primary Weapon: Bare Hands (Hand Blaster).

Hair: Bombshell Supergirl
The only way to purchase this hairstyle is in the Bombshells Hairstyle pack from the Marketplace.

Shoulders: HIVE
Reward for the HIVE Moon Base briefing.

Hands: Formal
Available at character creation or from style vendors in the Hall of Doom or Watchtower.

Waist: Bandito
Purchasable from the Marketplace as part of the Bandito pack.

Feet: Thigh-High
Available at character creation or from style vendors in the Hall of Doom or Watchtower.

Chest: Scuba
Only available from the Marketplace during the summer event. If you don't have it you could try Paneled Slimline for the chest piece, as it will give you some of the yellow line work. However it doesn't look anywhere near as good.

Legs: Scuba
See above. If you don't have it, any slimline leg style will probably do.

Back: Vengeance Variant
A PvP style on the hero side. You need the Origin Crisis DLC and a high enough PvP CR to buy the tier 4 gear. Or you might get lucky, as I have, and have it drop from a Promethium Lockbox. Don't let the name fool you, this seems to be the only back for sale. I'm not even sure how you get the non-variant version.

Skin: Human Skin 03
Available at character creation or from the skin vendor at Ace Chemicals (villain) or STAR Labs (hero).

Primary Weapon: Bare Hands (Hand Blaster)
Bare Hands are a default style for Hand Blaster.

There are currently no chest or shoulders pieces that replicate the big red Xs Storm has on her chest. Or even some big red circles. I like how the shoulder pads double as her puffy sleeves though, and the Bombshell Supergirl hairstyle gives Storm's hair the height and volume it needs!

Even though there is no cape that attaches at the wrist, the way Vengeance Variant falls and moves is a much closer approximation than any of the normal capes.

This was a really fun style to fly around in, and reminded me of being a kid watching the 90's animated series. 

Character Choices
Power: ElectricWeapon: Hand BlasterMovement: FlightBody TypeMonarch MediumPersonalityPowerful.
Electric. Lots of lightning. Big storms. You can use the channeling move from Hand Blasters to make even more lightning. I also sometimes like adding in wind powers from the Flight tree skills.

Storm is often referenced as being taller than the rest of the X-Women, so I went with Monarch Medium.
