Storm is currently leading a team starting in X-men #20 (November2011) and will soon become a member of The Avengers in Avengers #21(January 2012).

Storm Facts:

As of the moment...

- Storm holds the record for a female comic-based Marvel Comics character that has the most number of appearances on films including X-men, X2, X-Men: The Last Stand, cameo appearances in X-Men Origins: Wolverine and X-Men: First Class, Superhero Movie, etc. Whether Storm or Catwoman holds the title for a female comic character who have the most number of appearances on films requires further research.

-Storm holds the record for a female comic character of Marvel Comics that has the most number of appearances in cartoon series including: Pryde Of The X-Men, X-Men: The Animated Series, The Amazing Spider-man, Wolverine and The X-Men, X-Men Evolution, X-Men Anime, The Superhero Squad Show, and Black Panther.

-Storm holds the record  for a female comic-based character with the most number of appearances in video games (more than 30 games) like X-Men Legends, Marvel vs Capcom, Marvel ultimate Alliance, etc.

-Storm is #2 for a female comic character that has the most number of appearances in comics. Invisible Woman took the top spot as she started appearing since 1961 while Storm's first appearance was on May of 1975. Storm may possibly take the top spot in year 2012.

-Storm holds the records for a black comics character with the most number of appearances in films, cartoon series, comics and video games.

Possibly...

-Storm is also the female comic character that has led a team longer than any other female characters in comics.

X-Men #20

Really? I haven't read the last X-Men Schism or the two offshoots of that yet but she has always seemed pretty boring and when they try to make her interesting (like the above comic) it always comes off as trying way too hard.

the list if totally beyond me and I miss Rogue

MORE THAN 80 MEMEBERS OF COMIC VINE!!? This is truly the definitive super hero ranking list!

Ok i'm gonna change the scan to something better. : )

Just added more Storm info on the first post

and well in comicvine, a lot of Storm fans didn't ignore the poll. So that also explains the reason why she took the top spot

In Storm's favor, out of all of the women of the Marvel Universe, she was the one chosen to go up against Wonder Woman in the Marvel vs, DC crossover. She's been the first lady of Marvel for ages, I guess. Good to see her getting some respect.

I read the big Marvel crossovers from time to time. Storm never seems to be in the spotlight. For that reason, I'm not a big fan of hers. Can you name some definitve Storm stories? I can order them on my phone and read 'em while I'm working.

She was in Black Panther Comics but she hasn't been present fora bit while in x-men comics. But Right now, she's on spotlight, sort of. She's currently leading a team in x-men #20 just released this month (which they've dealt with War machine) and onwards, and will be joining the avengers starting either this month or by january 2012. She's also in uncanny x-men #1 reboot. If you really want a good Storm story, which almost all Storm fans would recommend, get X-Men: Worlds Apart #1-4 which was released around 2009 i think.

They say X-Men Curse of the Mutants: Storm & Gambit #1 (2010) was a good one too

and Storm and Black Panther in The New Fantastic Four #544-550 (2007 issue) to see Storm in action.
