- —Storm
Queen Ororo Munroe, also known as Storm, is a superheroine from Marvel Comics. She appeared in the 153rd episode of Death Battle, Korra VS Storm, where she fought against Korra from the The Legend of Korra series.
History
Ororo Munroe was born the daughter of a rebellious Kenyan princess and an American photographer in Harlem, New York, though her family relocated to Cairo, Egypt when she was six-months-old. A few years later, Ororo's parents were tragically killed when a plane crashed into their house. Though she survived the event, Ororo would develop claustrophobia due to her time trapped in the rubble of her home. Left an orphan to wander the streets, Ororo picked pockets and stole to survive. She eventually left Egypt and headed south on foot with the goal of reaching her ancestral homeland.
After almost dying while crossing the Sahara, Ororo's latent mutant powers manifested, granting her the ability to control the weather and all it commanded: wind, snow, water, and lightning alike. Her time wandering the Serengeti as a young woman, bringing rain to those in dire need, transformed her into a worshipped goddess of sorts among local tribes. After working with Ororo to defeat fellow weather manipulator Deluge, Professor Charles Xavier asked her to join a new version of the X-Men, one which would help rescue the original team from the living island of Krakoa. She accepted and was given the codename "Storm", becoming one of the team's veteran members.
