HALLE BERRY: On a mission to single-handedly ruin the notion of Black superheroines.
Ororo Munroe was the first Black superheroine I ever fell in love with. Prior to her they didn’t exist in comicdom. Okay, there was Misty Knight, but she didn’t have any super powers, she just was sick with the karate kick. Storm was this bad azz chick who didn’t take any shorts. You never saw her curled up in the fetal position when shit got thick. The best thing about Storm was that she was a natural leader.
Most times when you see a powerful female character in the comic books they usually always subject themselves to the leadership of the male characters. For example, Wonder Woman was always taking orders from Superman and Batman, even though she could have prah’lee kicked both their asses at the same time. Lord knows she could have definitely handled them both simultaneously on some d.p. shit. She was an Amazon for chrissakes!
Storm wasn’t taking a backseat to anyone either. She was hardbody enough to order Wolverine around, and he respected her for that too. Storm represented for all the Black sisters that were getting theirs in the world and kept their hairstyle any way they pleased.
Nevermind that Storm had a relaxer, she still put in work for the Black people when there was a dearth of Black characters in comics to begin with. Who did Marvel and D.C. think were buying these gotdamned books?!? White kids didn’t need no superheroes like Black kids did. Shit, white had their faces on the money I bought my comics with. What’s more powerful than working your ass off all week at your paper route so that you could reach in your pocket and ask some white people to help get you some new comics and a lunch from McDonald’s?
What is this next shit about Storm marrying Black Panther? That is some bullshit. I wanted Storm and Forge to have kids and Black Panther to bang out Ms.Marvel. This way their progeny could increase the number of Black superhero babies. Storm and Black Panther, both being first generation African immigrants is too fucking easy, although I once dated a chick from South Africa and she smelled a kind of way. Maybe Africans are the only people that can stomach the smell of other Africans. Who knew?
All I know is that if I have to watch another X-Man movie with waify, bitch ass HALLE BERRY as Storm I will fucking protest that shit so hard they will have to release it straight to DVD. Bad enough that HALLE BERRY can’t act for shit, she looks like a little boygirl.
Storm is a fucking goddess!
