WARNING! Spoilers for Storm #6

Although X-Men, she's finally moved on to bigger things, but that isn't necessarily a good thing. She's made a name for herself by ing the Avengers, yet her recent choices and power-ups have cast doubt on whether she separated herself from her fellow mutants in the X-Men for the correct reasons.

In Storm #6 by Murewa Ayodele, Luciano Vecchio, Rachelle Rosenberg, and Alex Guimarães, Professor X pays a visit to Storm and seeks her help after he's broken out of Graymalkin Prison against the X-Men's wishes. Cyclops leads his team to put a stop to them once Storm agrees to help Xavier, which results in a fight breaking out.

X-Men's Storm has more than a few costumes that set her apart in any given era with new cosplay showing what her eventual MCU design should look like.

The X-Men are understandably taken aback by this surge of power - and apparent ruthlessness - from Storm. Later on, Psylocke even notes that she doesn't believe it was Storm in control during the fight, but the fact stands that Ororo has taken a dangerous turn since becoming bonded with Eternity. If she doesn't figure out how to take back control from Eternity, she could create even more rifts between herself and the people she's close to by injuring them brutally. Storm has evolved beyond the X-Men in of cosmic power and mindset, and Eternity's influence on her will only widen that divide.
