I wish they'd stuck with this cool combination of races concept instead of turning her into another black woman

>into another black woman
There was like only 3 prominent black women heroes at the time - Storm, Misty Knight and Monica Rambeau
How many prominent multiracial female heros in that era?
NTT-era Starfire always gave me Storm vibes. Not as pretty.
>cool combination of races
Yeah, race mixing is the clear winner here.
She hit the jackpot
If they're albinos or have a malfunction of the chromosomes, just like it is for everybody else
She's not an albino tho
No way
At that time it was considered progressive to make a character as multiracial as possible, nowadays Marvel needs Storm to be a black woman for marketing and pr.
>she's brown therefore she's black
Fucking sick of Americans & their strange obsession with negros. By saying she's "black" you've already made her character less popular.
That bitch just uses excessive tanning lotion
>achtually she’s multiethnic
>You just can’t tell or know that unless you read this one specific issue from thirty five years ago
She's got blue cat eyes and white hair. She stands out like pee wee herman at an NWA concert.
Japan knows jack shit about black people, so they just copied shit from her when making an african street fighter character.
White hair is naturally possible for Africans. My cousin was born with with white hair.
And your cousin stands out like pee wee herman at an NWA concert. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Tombstone from Spiderman is a fucking G.
Which annoys the okinawans when people keep calling them black.
>Is America a nation of mutants?
Is there any doubt? I could drive down the street to wallmart to get pics if anyone needed a refresher.
>Is there any doubt? I could drive down the street to wallmart to get pics if anyone needed a refresher.
Fentanyl and heroin addicts do not count as mutants.
Does your cousin control the weather and is she single
>She stands out like pee wee herman at an NWA concert.
>And your cousin stands out like pee wee herman at an NWA concert.
wasn't Peewee like notoriously kinda popular in the 80's Hip Hop scene?
Black dudes love cartoons and Pee Wee is a living cartoon.
Yes.
Stands out does NOT mean hated.
We want pics of her. We promise not to eat her like those crazy DRC cannibals.
No. She was a weather goddess in africa.
>Stands out does NOT mean hated.
The nail that sticks up gets hammered down.
Detroit isn't fucking Japan.
Genetics didn't fucking change in 50 years, so what's different?
>Storm's power used to be being the ultimate mutt
Is America a nation of mutants?
She was just a black woman, this a retcon that got retcon again.
Isn't Storm supposed to be a gyaru white girl? Doesn't make sense that they retcon her race like that.
What
Storm is not black. She's clearly white. She even has the facial features of a white woman. She's a gyaru. Pic-rel.
>She's a gyaru
>Was born in Kenya
Anon thats just how the artists of the show draw black women.
No she was a black female mutant with a secondary physical mutation that gave her white hair, blue eyes, and Asian facial features. She was from an Era where they tried to make Mutants look like more than typical humans.
Anon, have you forgotten that X-Men has always been in the hands of the least creative guy in the world, Kevin Feige? In none of the X-Men movies did Ororo fly, she just floated like a feather, she didn't have cat eyes so when Feige got control of the comics he turned Ororo into the Halle Barry version. Executives should only take care of production and let artists create and to answer your question this will never happen because artists like to draw characters their way without respecting the classic and editors always allow it.
no she's a kenya swahili and epypt isn't in east africa. plz kys
>Epypt
>east africa
Elena is a Kenyan tribal princess .
>Digital clean up makes the skin lighter.
Why are people saying Storm is a gyaru ITT?
Black
South African mix, at best.
>Why are people saying Storm is a gyaru ITT?
hatred of black people.
Because she's a gyaru?
because people go through any mental gymnastics possible to not like black person
>Why are people saying Storm is a gyaru ITT?
The people who bang on about ~negro worship~ on Cinemaphile have a unique mental illness that ultimately leads to being far more obsessed with them than even the most shameless negrophile.
I want to fix racisim....with my dick. Is that so wrong? If so, I'll stay wrong.
>be tanned character
>Americans mistaken you for a negro
>be brown non-negro character
>Americans mistaken you for a negro
>be gyaru with white hair & blue eyes
>Americans mistaken you for a negro
Why are Americans like this?
shes black cope
Hale Barry is the most white black chick you can find.
still black and one drop rule
>Storm was a passed on DC character.
looks so white to me.
>Be Irish
>Americans make you a negro
Truly a mystery
People forget what black women looked like in the 70's.
Storm clearly looks like an actor or model from the 70's, the round face is a give away.
She very much looks like black women of 70's.
One of these pictures don't look like the other
Round face
square chin
pointy eyebrows
big lips
big eyelashes
they look close to me.
Well one is drawn.
Artist? I can't read that clusterfuck signature
That's John Byrne who drew Storm like Cockrum but removed the cheekbones.
She looks younger than I remember Byrne drawing her
Correction: That's what they look like when they are not wearing wigs
Motherfucker is playing with fire.
>Almost every single one of them starts slapping his arm and immediately start chimping out
God...
Are those afros? Is that the 70's? You dumb baboon?
Cartoon came later, the original design by Dave Cockrum, is clearly black woman of the 70's, she looks kinda like Eartha Kitt with the cheekbones
The small nose on his drawing makes me disagree with that statement. You can't hardly even tell the race of the drawing.
The larger lips and cheekbones make me think of a black woman, her nose is smaller than most black women though I'll agree.
Look at Storm features compared to Jean, Storm's face lot sharper and larger.
She looks like an alien.
She does look a bit alien but I can see a black woman in those old drawings, kinda like how 80's Raven look liked Cher, Storm back then had same vibe of lot black models/actors.
she's blacks...cope its begin confirmation for awhile now by marvel
>its begin confirmation for awhile now by marvel
Pretty sure it's been confirmed ever since her first appearance. She was a street kid in Cairo making a living as a pickpocket before her powers manifested. It's just that most blacks that Americans see are of West African descent and she's North African (there's a difference) but with an unusual hair and eye color.
>By saying she's "black" you've already made her character less popular.
T'Challa's box office numbers disagree. Sure, it may make her less popular with racist rednecks but it's not like that's particularly important. Storm has always been popular. Popular enough, even, that back in the 80's when she'd lost her powers Marvel still had her leading the team instead of Cyclops.
nope she's black women not berber
This just reads like an excuse from the artist because he can't draw black features.
No I think it was just because its hot
Artistic consistency is something Marvel forgot when it changed writers and artists so much.
To be fair, a lot of artist still gave her Asian eyes, and iris cat-like eyes.
She looks like a brown githyanki from D&D
Btw the GOAT is going to be with Thor in Thor Corps in the new Ewing Immortal Thor #5
That's so sick
Beyond cat eyes it wouldn't make difference in terms of being black.
I really wish stupid fucking threads like these would be deleted on sight
I miss claremont writing too.
>blue eyes
>rare
Red?
albinos have red eyes
Practical considerations, no actress would really fit
