Let’s geek out a bit.

Something about the X-Man, Storm always bothered me. I couldn’t put my finger on it until my drive up to Buffalo.

As I drove through Upstate New York I noticed how full all of the rivers, lakes, streams, and reservoirs were; New York has had in unseasonable volume of rain this month. I realized that we certainly won’t have drought conditions this summer, or next for that matter. At the same time, much of the rest of the US is in desperate need of rain.

That’s when it hit me.

What is Storm doing using her power to control the weather fighting villains? She could be saving far more lives by helping regions in need with their climate issues. I know she isn’t with the X-Men anymore, but she should be traveling the world solving serious problems that even the most strong-willed people have no control over.

That right there could be an interesting new take on a relatively old character. It would make a lot more sense.
