"I have been a protector longer than I have been a wife. I know the sacrifices that must be made. I know who I am." - 🌩
Haven't drawn anything in about a week or so because I was so occupied with my Dawn of X reading and trying to catch up with the recent X-comics but here's a quick drawing of the beautiful windrider, Ororo Munroe A.K.A. Storm for Black History Month that I drew a couple days ago 🖤

"....THERE'S SOMETHING I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE [COSMIC] CUBE. I THINK IT'S ALIVE."
PIC INFO: Spotlight on Earth-9997 Black Panther as the panther-human hybrid [king] of Wakanda (transformed by the Cosmic Cube, no less), with Storm as his Queen, and the Ani-Men as his loyal subjects -- Textless cover art to "Universe X" Vol. 1 #8. May, 2001. Marvel Comics. Artwork by Alex Ross.
"Aaron, there's something I think you should know about the Cube. I think it's alive. At first, it was used as a weapon against the Kree by the Royalty of the Skrull homeworld. It could create anything from a thought. But the power of the Cube could not be contained. They say the Cube destroyed two-thirds of the Skrull Empire alone. In the years that followed, the Cosmic Cube learned sentience and became the being the Shaper of Worlds."
-- KYLE RICHMOND (formerly known as Nighthawk) to X-51

masterlists | guidelines
Dragonstone is a volcanic island in the North Atlantic Ocean, just below Greenland and Iceland, but it’s not visible on any maps. Not many know of its existence, as the island is surrounded by such powerful magic, making it invisible to the naked eye. If anyone were to sail towards it, violent storms and currents will make even the strongest of ships sink. It has become a myth to the outsiders, an area such as the Bermuda Triangle, where everyone disappears into the nothingness. This keeps the island, and its population, in safety and peace. They have fought no wars, nor have they suffered in the hands of man made concepts.
However, the fights have started to get bigger, sometimes having the faith of the whole Universe in their hands. That much they figured out after Thanos. Which is why the Avengers know of Dragonstone, and its Queen, and how to get her help.
Everyone holds onto their seats as the Quinjet’s autopilot navigates through the dark clouds, often going through turbulence. “Are we sure this isn’t actually just some freak of nature spot? Is there anything here?” Tony grumbles as he tries to fasten his seatbelt impossibly tight. “We have very expensive cargo on board, and by that I mean me and my suit.”
“Fury seemed confident in his knowledge.” Steve reminds, slightly more calmly, though he is also nervous.
Wanda has her eyes closed. She tries to stay inside her mind, ignoring everything going around her. Air traffic has never been her favorite, but this is next level. The Quinjet does sudden dives and turns, throwing anything loose around. This is why Fury said to fasten everything to the walls and roof, but like usual, Tony didn’t take the advice to heart.
She can feel Natasha’s hand holding her own, calming her down slightly. Wanda doesn’t personally know Fury that well, but she knows Natasha thinks very highly of him, so she is pretty sure he wouldn’t lead them to their certain death. However, she can’t be sure, as this is starting to feel like a wrong way to the supposed island.
“Why couldn’t Fury come here himself? Or the Queen to us?” Kate almost shouts at a particularly violent spot.
“Because when we ask for help from royalties, we show them respect.” Steve states, his *all the younger generations have forgotten respect* personality every old person has shining through. “Did none of you learn this in Wakanda?”
No one gets to answer him, as the Quinjet starts going up, up, up full speed, making everyone yelp. After it has reached the correct altitude, it goes down headfirst. For a moment, the team is sure something has gone wrong, that they are plummeting towards their death. But right before it hits the water, the Quinjet turns the right way and continues flying forward, now in a completely calm climate.
They instantly calm down, letting out breaths of relief and relaxing their tense muscles. Natasha is the first one to get out of her seat, going to the cockpit and looking out the window. “Well, at least the island is real.” She calls out. The others start to pile up in front of the window.
At first glance, it looks like they’re flying towards a big pile of rocks, but at a closer look, they can see the rocks form big walls and even a bigger castle on the island. They’re in awe of the view. The water and air are so calm now that they’ve gotten past the barrier.
They stare out the window while the Quinjet lowers itself to the ground, right outside the walls. Once they step outside, they see two people waiting for them. “Welcome to Dragonstone!” One of them smiles. “My name is Sylvia and I’m the Queen’s advisor. And this,” she gestures to the person next to her, who is wearing an armor, “and this is Calen, they’re the head of protection in this island.”
They bow their head down as a greeting, not saying anything to the guests. The look on their face is serene and their posture is straight, like a proper soldier’s. Sylvia on the other hand shows more excitement through her body, even though her hands are behind her back, they’re still wiggling around, and the smile on her face is one that can light up a whole room.
“Thank you for granting us access to your island.” Steve speaks up, being the unofficial spokesperson when it comes to formal situations.
“Fury is an old friend of Gaia, any friend of his is a friend to us. Now, if you’d follow me, I’ll take you to the castle to meet our Queen.”
They start trekking the land towards the castle, first walking on the bare land and then moving to narrow walkways as they go inside the walls. Most of the walk goes by in silence, the team taking in their surroundings. They’ve never seen anything quite like this.
Wanda drags her hand along the stone fence, her fingers going along the bumps and ridges of it. She smiles. The magic of this island feels different than her own, but not in a threatening way, it feels like it’s dancing with her own.
Finally they get to the castle’s entrance. The huge wooden door opens inward, two other soldiers pulling it. Calen and Sylvia greet them as they go past them. “The Queen is in the throne room.” The latter tells the group, leading them through hallways before stopping in front of a door.
The door to the throne room is also wooden, but it’s a lot more decorated compared to the other ones. It’s carved from top to bottom with different pictures, making it look like a story. Calen pushes the door open, letting everyone walk through it before closing it again. At the end of the room, the Queen sits on her throne. The royal seat has been made out of purely white stone. The backside of it is tall and the sides are wide enough for the Queen to lay her arms there comfortably, but it still looks delicate.
“Gaia.” Sylvia lowers her head in respect and Calen goes down to one knee to bow. The Avengers, quite hesitantly, bow in some way too, bot sure of the island’s customs.
“There’s no need for that.” The Queen’s voice makes all of them rise. Sylvia and Calen take their respective places near the Queen, while the team stop in front of the stairs to the throne. “I hear you are friends of Nicholas Fury.”
Wanda stares at her in amazement. The way she looks so soft yet regal makes her heart pound faster than normal. She can see her chest moving up and down as she breathes, the armor like steel plate moving with it. The dark blue fabric is thick for colder weathers, but flowy enough to move easily. Wanda’s eyes move up to the top of her head. The crown on her head looks like it’s made out of steel as well. It makes her look sharp and strong. She looks majestic sitting on her throne.
“We are,” Steve smiles, “thank you for agreeing to meet us, your Highness.”
“Please, Y/N.” She states. “That’s the name my mother gave me.”
“Y/N. I’m sure you’re aware of a recently defeated threat from space called Thanos.” He continues once she nods, “unfortunately the other worldly threats don’t stop there. We’d like to ask your help to prevent these kind of attacks more efficiently.”
“Certainly.”
Wanda shudders from the way Y/N says the word. Her pronunciation, the slight rasp of her voice and how she rolls the letter r, make her feel dizzy. She is sure the look on her face is stupid, and lovestruck, her eyes wide and mouth slightly parted. The whole conversation going on is going past her. Only thing in her mind right now is something she really shouldn’t be thinking about, but she just can’t stop herself.
“Would you give me the honor of joining me for dinner today? We even have enough guest rooms if you wish to rest before your trip back to America.”
“We would be honored to join you.” Natasha answers. She has been glancing at Wanda during the conversation with a grin on her face, she can read her face easily, knowing what the witch is fantasizing about.
The Queen stands up, her dress falling perfectly to her feet. “I’m glad to hear that. I shall see you in the dining room in an hour, in the mean while, Sylvia will show you where you can refresh yourselves.” Sylvia nods and gestures for them to follow her. Wanda keeps her eyes on Y/N as she walks away, noticing a small smile growing on her face.
After an hour, the Avengers gather into the dining room by Sylvia’s lead, where Y/N is already waiting for them. “Gaia.” Sylvia says before leaving the room.
Y/N stands up, pointing towards the empty chairs. “Please, sit.” She says with a smile, sitting down once again when they get around the table. Wanda sits next to her. She can see the small details of her breast plate from this close.
The table is already fully catered with different foods and desserts. It works like a buffet, everyone takes what they like to their plates. “Can I ask you,” Wanda starts when her plate is full, “why do they call you Gaia, if your name is Y/N?”
“Gaia is a title of sorts. Every queen before me was called that as well, because we keep this island alive and safe. It means Mother Nature.” She explains with a gentle smile on her face, holding eye contact with Wanda as she talks to her. “It is an honor to be called Gaia.” Wanda nods, not able to look away from her stormy eyes.
“How does the next queen get chosen?” Tony asks.
“It’s more faith than decision making,” she pauses, looking for best words to describe how their queens get their role, “we’re born to it, but not in a traditional sense. We are born from the previous Gaia, they mold us from magic.”
“So, there’s no…” he moves his fingers around in a promiscuous manner, which makes Steve look at him disapprovingly. They’re in front of the Queen after all.
But she only finds the situation amusing. “No. Children born in a traditional way are random, and our queens need to be precise. They’re all women and they all have powers. They need to be born from magic.”
Although they don’t really understand the process, and none of them want to ask about the specifics of it, they still find it fascinating. It’s a whole new country with completely different customs compared to theirs. Wanda especially listens to her intently. Her smooth voice practically drilling its way into her brain.
“Can the queen have relationships? Even if they don’t have any part on the next generation of rulers.” The question makes Wanda’s head snap to look at Natasha, who has a wide grin on her face.
“Yes. There are no rules on relationship. The partner just has to know they have no rule over the island.”
Satisfied with the answer, Natasha nods, sending a discreet wink towards Wanda. Her cheeks turn a shade of pink. She tries to hide it by eating the food.
They keep a light conversation going while they all finish their food. Once the plates are empty and the stomachs full, they start leaving the table and go to their rooms. The Queen doing the same. However, she isn’t alone for long.
There’s a knock on her bedroom door.
“Hello, Wanda.” Y/N smiles, the door now open wide. “Would you like to come in?”
“Yeah, thanks.” Wanda steps into the room, the door closing after her. She looks around the room, trying to keep her eyes off of Y/N’s thin night gown. A big bed is in the middle of the room, it has light blue veil over it and a white fur on top. A window, almost the size of the wall, is on the right side of it, but it’s already covered with dark curtains. Otherwise the room is quite plain. A wooden dresser. Mirror with steel decorations. What catches Wanda’s eyes are the tapestries on the walls. They’re bright and colorful, each one having its own story. “Beautiful.” She mumbles.
“They tell our history.” Y/N steps beside her. “Every queen makes one. These are the oldest ones, the rest are in the library, visible for everyone. One day mine will be there too.” She sounds proud when she speaks of her ancestors.
“Your mother, is she still alive?”
“No. The crown passed down to me when I was thirteen.”
“I’m sorry.”
Y/N turns to her with a smile. “Nothing to be sorry about. She’s with her mother and grandmother, and so on. And one day I will see her again, until then, I will make her proud by keeping the people on this island safe.”
However beautiful the idea is, Wanda still feels sad for her. She knows what it’s like to lose your mother young. But she doesn’t comment on it more, clearly it’s not something appropriate to discuss now. “The magic. It feels different here.”
“Yes, it’s not the same as yours. The magic is part of me as much as it is a part of the island. We’re connected. We can sense each other. I can control it and it can influence me.”
“That’s why they call you Mother Nature?”
“Sort of. There’s a long history there. But yes, my ability to control the sea and the air around us is a part of it.”
“Maybe you’ll be able to tell me some day.”
Her smile widens. “Maybe.”
Wanda smiles too. She notices how Y/N’s eyes twinkle in the dim light, as if they had their own light source. “You’re beautiful.” The words stumble out of her mouth. She had no intention on making any mind of move this soon, but she couldn’t help it. This felt like a right moment.
With a small giggle, Y/N looks down, trying to cover her warming cheeks. She doesn’t usually get nervous, but Wanda sounded so sincere. “I’m flattered you think so.”
“Do you think you could go on a date with me? Later, of course. Do you have any rules on that?” The nervousness starts growing at the bottom of her stomach again, the lapse of confidence leaving her body quickly.
“There are some rules, but nothing major. I could definitely go on a date with you, I’d actually really like to do so.”
Letting out a breath, Wanda nods. Her hands are moving her rings around. “Great. I- uhm, that’s great.” She laughs quietly. “I’ll leave you now. See you tomorrow.”
“See you.” Y/N gives her a small wave, smiling widely even after the door closes.

It’s become standard to talk about Ororo as having had many roles and been many people across her life (thief, goddess, queen, regent, hero). The promotional material for Storm v4 does it and Storm v5 opens with it. Storm v3 mentions it. That’s become one of her defining traits, being open to so many different roles.
But it’s not actually unique in comics. Betsy’s been a model, a pilot, a spy, an assassin, and the living embodiment of Britain. Dazzler is always reinventing herself. Kitty’s been a bartender and Rogue’s been a bike mechanic. Hank and Logan were Avengers long before Storm was. Hank’s also been on the Defenders, working for the Inhuman royal family, and one of the Illuminati. And Logan is Logan, his list of roles is longer than his short hairy arm.
Comics characters (especially but not exclusively Claremont-written characters) love moving between roles. It’s what writers do to keep things interesting. So why do we single Storm out as being particularly interesting in this way?
My guess is that it has to do with real-world publication history. Up until she was moved over into the Black Panther series, she had always been an X-Men character, and she’d always been at the center of a team. She’d had one solo series, a 4-issue limited series from 1996 (it’s fine but not particularly interesting; it does have some fun early Terry Dodson art). This would have made her far more attached to the X-Men than someone like Wolverine, who was on his third solo series by the time of the wedding.
Storm couldn’t be understood outside of the X-Men, until suddenly they were pulling her out of the X-Men and dropping her into Wakanda full-time. Part of how they justified this was by revisiting her backstory and inserting a teenage romance with T’Challa. In so doing, they also highlighted the different identities she’d had before the X-Men, as thief and goddess, trying to emphasize the shifting phases of her life.
We get what I think is the first statement of her many different roles in X-Men: Worlds Apart:
I am a woman, a mutant, a thief, an X-Man, a lover, a wife, a queen. I am all these things. I am Storm, and for me, there are no such things as limits.
This comic is specifically about Ororo trying to balance her responsibilities to Wakanda and her responsibilities to the X-Men and managing to do both at once. It’s no longer a question of her changing one role for another but rather embracing more than one at once. The text is reflecting on and making sense of the patterns in publishing.
It’s definitely true that Claremont laid the foundation for this understanding of her when he just kept giving Storm new backstories and skills and relationships. But I think her specific publishing history and the editorial choice to move her from the X-Men to Black Panther and then to both really solidified that as the way to think and talk about her.

֍ 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞 : sorta late<\3 was busy today and chapter is rushed but I wanted to update:)
It had been the day after you and your mother's quarrel. Your father was absolutely worried about you when you stormed off and wanted to check up on you, but your mother just told him to let you be.
Your mother, Adaeze, knew you can't stay locked up in your room forever. She knows about your friend from Wakanda, Shuri, visiting you today and you'd have to meet her when she arrives.
Your parents almost got into a fight or argument regarding your feelings after you stormed off. Your father, Aasir, wanted to talk to your mother about how they should just cancel this marriage thing if you disliked the idea so much. But of course, your mother didn't agree to his idea.
'But my Queen, our little one is already so furious just about the mere mention of how we set her up in a contract, there is a chance this marriage won't work out in the future.'
'Trust me on this, darling. sweet (name) will learn to accept the prince once they get to know eachother.'
'You know how our child is, my Queen. She's never liked the idea of having a significant other.'
'You're right. But her motives are pinpointed on what's best for Zinandra. And with what's best for Zinandra is to have a powerful leader. two powerful leaders.'
'Our child is raised to be the perfect leader she was meant to be, Adaeze. Ever since she could walk, she started training and learning all kinds of things. Her knowledge is advanced, she can rule our nation on her own long enough so she can find someone right for her.'
Your father had always been the one to understand other peoples feelings best. It's why you always come to him to tell him something before you go to your mother about it.
Your mother however, always wanted everything her way.
But enough of that. All morning you had been stuck in your room, refusing to even step a single toe outside of your door. A few of your ladies-in-waiting had already visited your room a couple of times to get you ready but they were always met by silence.
Your ladies-in-waiting knew you enough to know you were in a sour mood to even open your door up. Despite these actions being 'inappropriate and ungraceful', the ladies understood your feelings. After all, even royalty show normal human emotions.
You got a message from Wakanda's princess a while ago, making you vividly remember that you'd have to get out of your room sometime now. You haven't told Shuri about thr marriage contract, and you can't even imagine what her reactions would be.
Would she be upset you were upset? Furious like how you were last night? Sympathetic?
She had said to you that she'd be arriving soon, and so you got ready on your own. Sometimes ladies-in-waiting would help you get ready on special occasions, it baffled you because you were completely capable of doing that yourself.
Eventually when you were done making yourself look presentable, you sneaked out if you room, making 'shush' motions at the guards that passes by. They only waved their hand in confusion, followed by a good morning and a bow.
You met Shuri to where all aircrafts normally land in. You knew that both your parents would've been alerted of Shuri's presence as soon as the Talon fighter flew right onto the borders of Zinandra.
She was just exiting the aircraft before you tackled her into a hug, catching the girl off guard. The Queen let's out a small laugh at the feeling of your warmth on her, patting your back affectionately in the process.
"I'm so happy to see you." You muttered against her collarbone. Shuri hums delightedly, looking down at you. "As do I. But I feel like there's more you have to say to me than you already have."
You pulled away from the embrace at the Queen's words. "I do, actually. It'd horrible, Shuri, I don't know what to do." She hears you hurriedly state. Your desperate and agitated tone worried her. What had happened to cause you in such distress?
"Alright, (name), don't worry. We'll talk about this in your room, mm-hm? This'll seem too personal for anyone else to hear." Shuri reassures you, rubbing your arm in a soothing way.
You were just about to respond to her, agreeing, when all of a sudden you heard footsteps approaching. "Talk about what, dearies?" You heard your mother loudly question, forcing herself into the conversation.
Your worry faltered, and instead, it replaced with fierce intensity. Shuri noticed your fast shit of demeanor, and so did the Queen of Zinandra.
Shuri decides to speak up for you, trying to be subtle as she lead you slowly behind her. "(name) was just about to share some news with me. It seemed urgent, and I didn't want anyone else to hear so.." the Wakandan trails off, her eyes shifting between you and the Zinandra leader, feeling the tension.
The Zinandra Queen let's out a breathy, hearty, and almost a fake laugh, waving her hand off dismissively. "No need for that, Shuri. I have some very important news myself! I was just about to announce it to the whole nation right after.. he arrives!" Your mother hums a plastic laugh.
Shuri looks behind her, looking down at you in confusion. He? Why is there a he? Why was the news so important that the Queen had to tell it to the nation?
"Uhm.. 'he'..?" Shuri questioned your mother. Adaeze's face lights up in faux realization, looking between you and the Wakandan Queen with a smug look. "Oh, my child didn't tell you..?," your mother responds with her own question.
But before Shuri could answer herself, your mother cuts her off. "Well no matter. I guess you have to wait to figure it out just like the rest of te nation!"
"Mother, stop that." You gritted out, glaring at your own mother furiously. Why was she acting this way? It was like she was taunting Shuri with the truth.
Your mother only gives you a look of disapproval, huffing before turning in her heel and walking away.
"The prince will be arriving shortly, child. Go and make yourself look more presentable." Your mother says, loud enough for you and Shuri to hear as she walked away.
You refused to look at Shuri when she turned her head at you upon heating your mother's words. You feared about what look she was giving you. To be honest, you didn't know why you were so frightened about Shuri finding out all of a sudden when you were gonna tell her about it as well.
Maybe it was because of your mother's way of putting it up.
"Prince?. (name), who is this prince?" Shuri questioned, standing right infront of you. You tried to look away, but the look on her face made you feel guilty.
"I'm in a marriage contract, Shuri. I don't even know who the hell this prince is. I only learned about it a few hours ago." You state. Shuri nods, understandingly.
She didn't know why apart of her felt disappointed and crushed. Perhaps because you were set up in a contract without your permission nor knowledge. But even so, she felt bad for you.
"Oh.."
Her dry words left you to let out a rough and tired sigh, shaking your head slightly. "I don't want to get married yet. I'm not ready. I don't want to be bound to someone i know nothing about. I want nothing to do with them." You rambled on and on, your breathing beginning to be ragged.
Shuri was barely listening, lost in her own thoughts.
She was gonna lose you to someone else now. Someone who you don't know as well. Someone you don't want anything to do with. Considering how you're reacting now, she was certain this marriage won't work out for you in the future.
You're still young after all. Why couldn't your mother just give you more time to look for someone you'll truly love instead of ruining your future by bounding you with someone you don't love?
She knew your mother had always been the 'I want everything my way' typa girl, but this just reaches the limit.
"Who is the prince?" Shuri questioned you, stopping midway when you were expressing your absolutely hate for the marriage contract.
You looked confused as well, and wary. "I don't know as well.. I kinda just stormed out if the hall before learning more about this 'proposal' thing.." You trailed off, looking at her in confusion. "Why'd you wanna know?"
"..nothing."

Ultimate Black Panther #1-3 Discussion
If you have not read these issues, then please look away now. I’ve liked the series so far so I recommend you get these issues if you can. The only reason why this Discussion is late is because there was a massive shortage on the first issue, and I couldn’t get my hands on it until a few weeks ago.
I found it really interesting that Okoye and T’Challa are together in this universe because when I first got into reading comics Ororo/Storm and T’Challa were together. I always realty did like that pairing and wanted it back after Avengers versus X-Men broke them up. I understand why they broke up, but I was still hoping they’d be back together someday. I do think that Okoye is an interesting choice for a queen, but you can tell that they have a political marriage. In the first issue, we see them sleep in separate beds and the way they talk to one another feels more like two respected colleagues rather than two people that ever loved one another:
It just feels like they’re being forced to stay with each other because the tradition/politics of Wakanda wanted them to be married. In issue 2, there’s a scene where T’Challa is talking to the Vodu-Khan, and they’re telling him about this “woman of light” that will apparently have a child with him. In that scene, we see T’Challa assume that this will be Okoye, but at the same time we’re also kind of hinting that its going to be Ororo/Storm:
I’m really looking forward to seeing how Okoye and T’Challa’s marriage and relationship play out in this series because it feels like right now, with T’Challa being with Ororo currently, it could be such a big mess. I’m also looking forward to learning more about Okoye in this series because I feel like we don’t really know much about her besides her relationship/marriage to T’Challa.
Speaking of Ororo/Storm, we have seen a bit of her in this book so far. I like how in the first issue we just saw silhouette of her in lightning:
This is the reason why I think she’s the woman of light that the Vodu-Khan was talking to T’Challa about because they literally silhouetted her in light during her first appearance. It could be a red herring; but also, I don’t really think so because in the second issue when T’Challa meets her, he literally is in awe of her and even recognizes that she is a woman of light:
I think there’s a lot of people, like me, that really wanted these two back together in the main universe and I think that’s exactly what Bryan Hill is going to give us in this series. I also really like how in the pages above, we kind of see T’Challa be faced with his destiny or the destiny that was foretold to him. I’m kind of a sucker for those stories of destined lovers and I would love to see their romance play out more in this series if this is where they’re actually going to head with this story. I also want to know more about Ororo’s character and who she is. Currently, we only really know that she’s in a partnership with Killmonger to help people in need. She also seems to trust Killmonger a lot so maybe they’re in a relationship or maybe they’re siblings? If they’re in a relationship and the prophecy is true then T’Challa and Killmonger are definitely going to butt heads because of that. If the book told us what their relationship is, then I for sure missed it.
Anyways, I want to talk more about her design. I really like her design in this comic. I can now see where Maystorm/May Igarashi from the Ultimate X-Men title gets her design inspiration from. However, this also gave me a lot of questions about her as a character. If somebody like May from Japan knows about Ororo, then is she famous? If so, then what for? Is she a famous mutant in this universe? Is she part of the X-Men in this universe? Because it seems that nobody knows about her when she shows up in these books. Does the X-Men even exist in this universe? Because the Ultimate X-Men book hasn’t answered that either. I’m really hoping we get to know more about her soon.
EDIT/SPOILERS for Ultimate X-Men #4: I have been procrastinating on writing/posting this since last week and this week’s Ultimate X-Men #4 actually reveals that this Ororo is just a freedom fighter. She’s not associated with the X-Men in any way or at least not that we know of yet. Also, the X-Men as a group doesn’t seem to exist in this universe yet.
Ultimate X-Men #4 Storm:
Next, I’m going to talk about the Vodu-Khan. They are set up as elder religious types in this title. They seem to be connected supernaturally to Bast and tries to guide the King of Wakanda. T’Challa actually doesn’t seem to like them nor trusts them in the first issue. However, after T’Chaka dies, we see that he starts trusting them more and more. However, I’m not really sure whether he actually trusts them, or if he just took his father’s advice in issue 1:
I’m focusing on this group because I feel like they might be the traitors of Wakanda. Maybe I’m also just thinking that because T’Challa already didn’t trust them in issue 1, but I feel like they have an ulterior motive. Also, I felt like they had the most to gain when T’Chaka died because after he died, T’Challa started trusting them more and going to them more it seems. I don ‘t really have any other proof of their treason yet, so all of this is conjecture for now. I’d love to know what you guys think though. I have heard that some people think that the traitor is Okoye because of her and T’Challa’s political marriage, but I’m not sure about that either.
I want to talk about this T’Challa for a bit. In the beginning of the series, he says “Traditions must change.” when talking to Okoye after his dream, but we haven’t really seen him change anything yet. I feel like his father’s death has only made him embrace the traditions of Wakanda more, hence why I wasn’t sure if he actually trusted the Vodu-Khan or not. I definitely feel like watching his father die made him more vulnerable and more accepting of the traditions of Wakanda because he’s grieving and need to rely on those traditions right now. After his father’s death, he also became a bit more paranoid to the point that Wakanda’s people are being arrested because T’Challa doesn’t know how many more spies are in his kingdom:
He’s very paranoid right now, which is understandable, but it also is putting so much strain on the faith that his people might have in him and in Wakanda as a whole. Also, we’re shown that this T’Challa doesn’t really know much about the world outside of Wakanda:
I could be reading into this wrong, but it feels like he’s been trapped inside Wakanda for a long time and that he needs to see for himself what the outside world truly is. He has a sense of the nations and countries outside of Wakanda, but he’s never truly experienced it for himself. I’m really excited to see him find out more about the world around him/the world outside of Wakanda and see how that affects his rule as king. Like how would he react to finding out that this world was tampered with by the Maker? He seems like he’s going to be part of the Ultimates at some point, so I’m excited to see how he changes. I also really like how much different this T’Challa is to the main universe counterpart. I feel like the main universe is sure of himself and more confident in his skills as a leader. However, this new Ultimate version of Black Panther feels like he has a lot to prove to himself and to his people. I’m excited to see him grow as a character and see him develop into a better king.
In this title, Khonshu and Ra seems to be trying to take over Wakanda or the whole of Africa for their Vibranium. I think ever since the Maker disappeared most of the illuminati of this universe are trying to take more power and to rule more land, so I think that’s why they send those spies to Wakanda that ended up killing T’Chaka in issue 1:
I also think that they might want to take whatever that little green planet-like structure was that we say at the end of issue 3:
I have no clue what this planet-like thing is, but my theory is that it’s the remnants or shadow of this old universe before the Maker changed everything. However, I have no proof of any of that. It’s just a crazy theory. I’m very excited to find out where this story leads. Also, one last thing about Khonshu and Ra. At the end of issue 1, T’Challa says that they call themselves Moon Knight and I kind of find it interesting that in this universe Moon Knight is more of an organization that Khonshu and Ra has formed rather than an actual character. I wonder if Khonshu and Ra in this universe are actually gods or if they’re just wealthy/powerful people of influence in this universe.
Lastly, I want to talk about Killmonger. We first see Killmonger with Ororo in the first issue helping out the people of West Africa fend off against Khonshu and Ra’s army. He seems to be a freedom fighter that wants to help out people wherever he can. I don’t think this Killmonger will serve as a villain but more so as a guide to open T’Challa’s eyes to the horrors that exist outside the walls of Wakanda. I also really like what he says in Issue 3, where he talks about how he got tired of sitting in paradise and watching people suffer:
I feel like by the end of this arc that T’Challa is probably going to feel similarly to Killmonger. His eyes will be open to all the cruelties this world has to offer and he’ll want to help the people not just his people in Wakanda but people who are suffering around the world. I think Wakanda will end up being known to the world rather than a secret.
Thank you for reading this post! Tell me what you think of Ultimate Black Panther so far. I’ve been enjoying this title so far, but I would love it if they started telling us what’s going on sooner though. I just have so many questions right now (specifically, after issue 3) and I just want some of those to be answered right now. Also, sorry if this post was a bit hectic. There was a lot that I wanted to talk about, so I hope I talked about it well. Speaking of, I totally forgot to compliment Stefano Caselli's art. I think he did a fantastic job in this book. That should be all I wanted to talk about. i never want to do a 3 issue discussion again. Have a great day! Thanks for reading this!

I'm not going to say that putting Wolverine in the Deadpool movie makes it less interesting... however, out of all the X-Men, you're going to use Wolverine to bring them into the MCU??
Not someone like Storm or Rogue, who's comic stories are inextricably tied to already existing MCU characters?
Storm's an Avenger and was the queen of Wakanda, and Rogue literally got her flight and super strength from another Avenger
I get that the reasoning is Wolverine is well known, but I'd argue that Storm at the very least is just as iconic of an X-Men, if not more so
#I'm just tired of 20 years of Wolverine atp#give me a Storm or Rogue movie#or even a Shadowcat one#I've waited literal years for that one#x men#storm#rogue#mcu

OK yay! It’s so hard to find Namor x male reader 😭
I was thinking if I could request a male reader x Namor fic where the reader is trying to convince Namor to not attack Wakanda. This would be before Namor kills Queen Ramonda. You could do whatever you want with the story if you decide to do it. Angst, smut, fluff, doesn’t matter to me.
Wakanda or him?
This is my first time writing Namor so I apologize if it's kinda bad, I made it angst and fluff so hope you like that!
Pairing: Namor x male!reader Content: Angst and fluff, SFW
You were heading up to Namor’s room, pretty mad at the fact that he was going to attack Wakanda, leaving angry footsteps behind you as you stormed into your room and found him, “Namor, I want to know why the fuck you’re gonna attack Wakanda” you said angrily, “Listen- love-” “I don’t want to fucking hear it, I don’t even wanna talk to you” you said, storming back out of the room.
Namor was left to his own devices, absolutely shocked at what he’d just heard come from you, he’d never seen you this mad before. Despite him really wanting to attack Wakanda he also loved you a lot, much more than anything else, so he was left puzzled as to what he would do. For once, you chose to not go along with his plans and he was shocked and disappointed at himself, but the urge was still there.
He looked at the picture of you on your nightstand, looking so precious as you always did, he realized you mattered more than Wakanda, sure, he wanted to attack Wakanda, but he needed you to be with him. With this in mind, he settled in his decision to not attack, at least for now, and decided to wait till you had cooled off enough to come back to him.
A couple of hours later, you came back looking at the floor as you opened the door,
“Listen-” you started,
“No, I’m in the wrong, I shouldn’t attack Wakanda” he said, looking at the floor too, you paused for a second before you went up to him and hugged him, “I know you want to, but it’s not what you should do” you talked to him, “but, I suppose you deserve a reward for not wanting to attack Wakanda, “What do you have in mind?” “Cuddles in bed” you smirked, “I like that” he said as he got up and you followed him as you laid your head on his chest, “You comfortable?” he asked, “It’s so soft here” you giggled, “it’s like a second pillow” “Alright alright” Namor said as he laughed, happy to be holding you at long last, Wakanda could wait, his boyfriend couldn’t.

Storm 1 (April 2006)
Eric Jerome Dickey/David Yardin
In 2006, in the then-present of the Marvel timeline, Ororo "Storm" Monroe and T'Challa "Black Panther" got married, and Storm became queen of Wakanda. I believe they ultimately broke up - presumably for some suitably insane comics-y reason, like Ororo had actually been Doctor Doom during the wedding or some shit - but obviously the romantic relationship between the two biggest Black characters in comics has always been a big deal, and the moment of their actual marriage an even bigger deal, referred to by Marvel at times as "the Weddine of the Century" - a tagline that they then re-used a few years ago for a different X-Men wedding, despite the fact that we are still very much in the same century as 2006.
All of which is by way of explaining why, in 2006, Marvel also published a six-part prequel series exploring how Ororo and T'Challa first met, decades before their wedding, when they were teenagers, which in turn is why we're reading that now. Everyone loves Storm, and T'Challa is cool too, but truthfully this series is kind of cringe. It's got a lot of..."African" stuff.
To be clear, the writer here, Eric Jerome Dickey, is Black: he's African-American, just as Storm's mother was and Storm sort of is, and the tension between that identity and an African one is a theme here, and feels quite well done, but the African detail in general tends to feel a bit thin.
That extends also to the villains, your generic white poacher/mercenary/big game hunter dudes: Storm steals from them at random, setting up the chain of events where they realise her powers and come looking for her which forms the spine of the series' plot.
It's...not a great plot, truthfully, and I won't recount it in much detail as we read these, but there's some interesting stuff to be said. And at least it's not about Wolverine!

In Reina In Waal | Chapter 1: The Siege
Pairing: Namor x Female Reader
Genre: Action, Adventure, Romance
A Sequel to This Request
Summary: You are a queen of a kingdom known for it’s weapons and unique healing herbs. Namor had been trying to convince you to fight with him against Wakanda. When you refused time and time again, he continued to see you and formed an intimate relationship with you. This relationship resulted in a son you kept from Namor. But when the Talokans attack your kingdom and take you to Namor, truths will have to be revealed.
Summary | Preview | Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3
“Your majesty!!!”
“MOM! MOM!” Your twelve-year-old son, Titus, shouted running up the stairs of the curtain wall.
You turned around quickly at his voice and gave him an angry look. “What are you doing here?!” You stormed toward him. A guard followed up the stairs and stopped seeing you talking to your son. You gave him a look as well, “Take him back to the Keep!”
“I did your majesty, the young prince escaped my grasp!” The guard bowed his head to you. You sighed in frustration and Titus stepped away from you.
“Mom let me help! I have a sword, General Marcus taught me how to use it!” Titus pulled out a long sword and smirked.
Your eyes grew wide and you turned to the general who looked away from you. “Titus...”
“Mom please, I wanna help!”
“It’s too dangerous.” You scolded him, “And where did you get that sword!”
“Hey, that’s mine!” The guard gasped.
You pinched the bridge of your nose, this is not what you needed right before battle. “Tite, redi nunc ad custodiam! (Titus, go back to the keep, now!)” You ordered your son in your native tongue. Titus pouted and walked back over to the guard and handed him the sword back. “Do you remember your archery lessons?” You asked him.
“Yes.” Titus answered.
You walked over to one of the archers and took their spare bow and quiver of arrows. “Come.” You said to Titus. Your son walked over to you and you handed him the bow and arrow. “Get up to the balcony of the keep with the guard. If our enemy breaches the walls and heads to the keep, you shoot as fast as you can. Understood?” You said firmly.
“Ita mater (Yes mother).” Titus nodded and ran off to join the guard back to the Keep. “Is...Is she going to be okay?” Titus asked the guard.
“She is our great and powerful queen, she will be just fine.” The guard nodded.
You watched the two leave and turned back to the ocean miles from the shore that led to your castle. You pulled out your scope and zoomed in on the waters. You saw a figure walking out of the ocean with orange feathers.
“My queen, what do you see?” General Marcus asked you.
“Our enemy is making their way.” You put the scope away and gestured for the archer to ready their arrows.
“And who is that?” Marcus watched you.
“Talokan.” You said firmly and Marcus’ eyes grew wide.
“Why are they after us? I thought they kept to themselves?” The general pulled out his sword.
You didn’t answer and readied your sword when you saw the Talokan army charging toward your castle. The arches fired the arrows and it managed to slow the army down a little bit. The warriors climbed up the walls and began to attack your knights. You charged toward them and fought against four of them, you pushed them back and killed them.
“Reina guerrera! (Warrior Queen!)” You heard someone shout and turned to see the great General Attuma on your right. He twirled his spear and walked toward you.
“Attuma.” You gripped the handle of your sword tightly and braced for his attack. Attuma clashed his spear against your sword. Your weapons clashed and you were strong enough to push him back. Attuma stepped back slightly then charged at you, stabbing the spearhead in your stomach. He smirked and gripped the spear tightly, watching you gasp for breath.
You gasped at first then your eyes flashed blue and the veins in your body shined a blue glow slightly. You gripped the spear and kicked Attuma in the stomach to push him back. You pulled out the spear and threw it to him. He was amazed...Not a drop of blood from the wound.
Namora saw this too and noticed your warriors weren’t dying from the battle. You charged toward him and Namora intercepted your attack. You grabbed her arm and kicked the back of her knees so she could fall onto them. “Yield now! Send your people back and no more blood has to be shed.” You growled.
“Retroceder! (Fall back!)” Namora shouted and you released her.
As quick as they invaded, they retreated and you checked in on your general.
“Is it really over?” Marcus panted.
“No. They’ll try again.” You helped him up.
Night fell and you stood at the top of the curtain wall with the patrolling guards. You and your warriors were gifted with impenetrable skin but your people...Your people were vulnerable. You heard small steps running the steps again. “Titus.” You simply said.
“Can I...Can I stay up here with you mom?” His voice was small and worried.
“Aye.” You nodded.
Titus walked over and stood next to you. “Why are the water people attacking us? Marcus has been wondering.”
“General Marcus, my son. The Talokan King is after our stone. You remember what the stone does?”
“It grants impenetrability.”
“Correct.”
“Momma, why can’t I hold it and see if I can get the gift? What about the other people?” Titus asked curiously.
“The stone is the one that chooses the bearer of the power. Our people have tried but some are not given the gift. But they understand because they know I love them all just the same and I will protect them always.”
“And me?”
“You are not at the right age yet.” You lied.
But Titus wasn’t stupid though but he decided he would let it be for now. “You would think that the Talokan army would’ve been more prepared.” Titus scoffed.
“They were just testing to see if the rumors were true. I anticipate them coming in the dead of night.”
“Oh, that’s why you’re here...”
You just nodded.
Titus was silent and moved his hand to hold yours. “It’ll be okay.”
You turned to look at him and smiled softly, Titus was a strong boy and a sweet one. “Thank you.” You pulled him in for a hug.
Titus hugged you back tightly, “Momma...Can I stay up here with you?”
“...I suppose. But when I tell you to go, you go, okay?”
Titus nodded.
It was midnight now and you were more on edge than before. Your guards were stationed by the Keep and at towers. Titus patrolled the long path of the curtain wall with General Marcus. You felt the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and felt the tip of a spear at your back. “Audaz u a nu'ukulil, Namora. (Bold of you, Namora).” You hissed.
“Ma' a péeksik wa yaan in meentik u Attuma ataque a waal. (Do not move or I will have Attuma attack your son)” Namora warned.
You spun around quickly and grabbed Namora’s spear and head-butted her. She stumbled back and you kicked her hard in the stomach then pointed the spear at her. “Ta'ab Attuma wa leti' kíimil! (Come out Attuma or she dies!)” You shouted and Attuma revealed himself immediately. He stood there and waited. But what was he waiting for?
You furrowed your brows then your ears began to hear the hypnotic song sung by the Talokans that were climbing the walls. You froze, succumbing to the song.
Attuma walked over to you and helped Namora up. He took the spear from your hand and handed it back to Namora. “Yaan k bisik le Ku. ku. lkán jáan. (Let's take her to Ku'ku'lkán quickly.)” Attuma said and moved to pull you to him. He stopped when an arrow was fired and lodged in the back of his thigh.
“Get away from my mom!” Titus screamed and aimed another arrow at Attuma’s back. He fired it and Attuma tired around to catch the arrow and broke it in half. He pulled out the arrow on the back of his thigh and cracked his knuckles.
“Oh shit!” Titus yelled and continued to fire his arrows while backing away.
Namora smacked you in the back of your head to knock you out.
Attuma grabbed Titus by the collar of his tunic and lifted him up from the ground. He was about to toss Titus over the wall when he noticed his ears. Attuma’s eyes grew wide as he realized the point in Titus’ ears. “Ka na'atiko' ba'ax táan in wa'alik. (Do you understand what I'm saying?)” Attuma narrowed his eyes at the boy.
Titus didn’t listen and struggled in his grip, “Let me go! Leave my mom alone!”
“Namora!” Attuma shouted and the female warrior walked over.
“U xikino'ob. Paakat le. (His ears. Look at them.)” Attuma said.
“Ku. ku. lkán...” Namora gasped.
“Hey what are you talking about?!” Titus struggled and managed to grab the arrow from his quiver and stabbed it into Attuma’s hand.
Attuma grunted in pain and dropped the boy. Titus made a run for it toward the towers. Namora was about to follow but Attuma stopped him. “Bis le. Tu perseguiré. (Take her. I will hunt him down.)” Attuma said and began to chase after Titus.
Namora called for one of the Talokans to help her carry you back to the waters.

Nashuri X Arcane AU
Setting: Piltover, land of innovation and prosperity
Mel Medarda/ Shuri
- The richest and most influential person in Piltover. Practically royalty.
- The experiments and prototypes her company produces are largely the reason Piltover prospers
- Her influence over the council is undeniable. They all follow her in the end.
- Her dream is for Piltover to keep progressing and gain power
- She strives for peace and mercy above all else (there’s no way to prosper without those) so unlike her family, the Golden Tribe (also the reason why she adorns herself in gold)
- She is estranged from said family for that very reason.
- Her mother, Queen General Ramonda, leads the Dora Milaje and their armies. She’s ruthless and would do anything for her family (home world Wakanda/ Nexxus)
Viktor-Jayce / Namor:
- Comes from the harsh undercity (Talokan / Zaun)
- Has known many hardships
- His wish is to help and elevate all those around him
- He does so by inventing things to better people’s lives (medical equipment, tools, enhancements, etc) [the sun]
- Worked his way up into a sponsorship (from Shuris company) to be at the Academy in Piltover
- His inventions catch the eye of Shuri, who helps him rocket his way up in the world and into the council after one of his inventions takes Piltover by storm and catapults them to the top
[hextech = vibramium tools]
* They’re an unstoppable power couple
* Shuri teaches him how to manipulate social and political situations to his advantage. Which allows him to bring Talokan up in the world
* He follows her dream for peace and mercy and creates things to accomplish that.
* He reinvigorates her love for inventing and painting, something she’d lost track of
