Well if she can take mags at full tilt and mags can destroy the world at full tilt, planet distruction is pretty god like. If she can control all energy form's that's pretty god like. Phobos is the god of fear and he can be capped in the head as well, durability isn't necessarily an indicator of power.
If her energy manipulation is the levels you believe them to be she could snap her fingers and just take away his power without hurting him in the least. That is a far easier trick for an energy manipulator than something as complex and multilayered as altering multiple factors at the same time to create a weather abnormality of the exact size and type of your wish.
What she needs is writers that don't think more power equals a better character.
We keep bumping against the same thing:
How could she just "snap her fingers" and take away magnetos powers?
The great thing about the character is that she learns,...
Anology time: Say you are a damn good builder - you have made wooden and pebble dams once you realized that was what you could do. These dams were as needed and rarely went more than 15 yards across. One day you come across a place to build a dam that is over a mile across -
Where do you start?
What materials do you use? You KNOW that what you've used before would be literely a splash with ripples.
Just because she can see the power of Mags moving metal,.. and based on canon she has never faced a being that used lines of force to move metal, make force fields and fly like he does. Up to this point she has not tried to negate gravity, magnetics or interfere with anything outside of the weather effects SHE LEARNED ON THE PLAINS OF AFRICA!
You keep equating high power levels with an inate ability to use them.
Look @ Franklin Richards - he is supposed to at one point able to create alternate REALITIES as ONE of his god-like powers - you don't see him taking care of the FF's light work? Heck - he was killed in "days of Future past" by a sentinel.
Just because you have the potential doesn't mean you have the ability,.. esp when you have to learn how first.
I'm not a Storm fan,.. I'm a comic fan,.. I could do this with any of the characters i follow regularly,... Like I said earlier,..I have a list of characters who only use a portion of their powersets ON PURPOSE for different reasons.
Peace.
