Here's a list of the people who actual have a chance against her.
Dr. Strange
Galactus

Did I put Storm on that list...uh no.
Yes, I was a Storm fan, but I know her limits. Hell, I am one of those people who doesn't want her to be an Omega, even though she meets the qualifications.
Becoming all powerful just destroys a characters chances at development. Case in point take a long hard look at Jean. For the last 25+ years she hasn't done anything besides lather rinse repeat Phoenix, be a birthing machine for AU kids, and be in love triangles.
Don't believe me. Think real long hard about Scott/Jean/Angel, Xavier/Jean/Scott, Scott/Jean/Logan, and finally Emma/Scott/Jean. I'm surprised the mansion hasn't come down with a bad case of VD.
No disrespect intended goddessreichos but the door swings both ways if people are going to attack Jean's character that are storm fans on thread than we have a right to defend Jean's character, just as you have a right to defend storm's.
Also lather rinse repeat right? So what?! It's the same as Clark Kent living a dual life and becoming Superman.
No Storm was not on that list. I just didnt see the point as listing it as the discussion has been about who would win between Storm and Jean and not Jean in a bunch of other people.Did I put Storm on that list...uh no.

When did Jean ever shove Scott aside?As for the Jean thing, well way back when (way way waaaay back when) I used to love Jean and Ororo. I never understood how Jean could shove Scott aside and tease Logan. I never thought that was fair. Scott even told Betsy no for Jean, case closed, subject dropped. He dumped Maddie for her like a burlap sap full of kittens in the Mississippi. (I love using that phrase)
I can't stand Superman. So, I don't know how to respond to that.

My crap case for Jean solidified when Jean turns all Dark Phoenixy and constantly needs someone to save her. FOR CRYIN OUT LOUD. All that power and she's STILL a damsel in distress. Time after time. WTF.
Yea sure Storm's got the clausterphobia thing, but she still manages to be a successful non-homicidal X-men and a genuine leader. Something that's not given high marks on Jean's report card.
As for current Storm,go head. Crap on her all you want. Hell, I will join you. She's not the same character since Hudlin bought her off the auction block.
Don't believe me, read the first line of my first post..."Yes, I *was* a Storm fan." As of right now, Ororo and Jean are equal in my book. And no, that's not a good place to be.
I'm sorry if it sounds mean, but it's the truth, nicely put.![]()

And Scott never dumped Maddie for Jean. Nothing happened between he and Jean until AFTER he found out she was dead on tv
She only ever turned to Angel for comfort in the early days of X-factor and she and Scott were not a couple then. She owed him nothing.When did she shove Scott aside, uh ever timed she turned to Angel or Logan for comfort. Every time she cried on Logan shoulder.
Yes, he did. After she gave birth. He found out about Jean and said "Ta."

I hope Storm dies oneday.
Because i dont like her character at all, she is to cocky for my taste, she thinks she is some kinda Goddess, now she's the queen of Wakanda. It seems like she thinks she's so much better than other mutants.
Jean owned Emma Frost as is she was nothing and represents a formidable challenge to f****n Xavier. Jean would crush Storm's mind with a snap of her finger.
And as for Mags... he had DECADES of practice.

Oh boy, the whole Maddie thing. See Maddie was supposed to be her own person. That lousy diluted retcon of Jean's memories and all of that more bad ideas involving Jean and Phoenix.
That's a reason why Maddie hated Jean. Even Maddie's death is questionable. Jeeze, I forgot all about the Maddie/Scott/Jean triangle, damn. But I don't want to talk about that.
My original point is that a no power fight, Storm owns. No Phoenix fight, is a toss up but I would have to give it to Storm. Because Jean would first have to break through Storm's natural defenses then decipher her attacks, and what's Storm doing the whole time, standing there twiddling her thumbs? It would be a tough fight, but again Storm has tactical training and martial arts training and she's not afraid to "think out of the box" or "play dirty."
That's not Jean's style. I do believe that's why she has the fan base she does. She's an all around generally nice person. When it comes to men, she can be a little too nice. But who's counting that? Oh yea, me![]()
