I know Storm has been on the Avengers for the last little bit, but thinking about it, how much have she and the Scarlet Witch gotten to hang out really?
Most X-Men-Avengers interactions involve them fighting each other. And there have been so many X-Men and so many Avengers over the years that the two teams could butt heads without either character being on either team.
And when you get into the whole Wanda being Magneto’s on-again, off-again daughter thing, it creates even more reason for her to be detached from mutantdom.
All of which begs the question: Are Ororo and Wanda “friends” as the solicit text suggests? Or, to quote Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation, are they work proximity associates?
While you ponder that, check out our exclusive preview of Storm: Earth’s Mightiest Mutant #2, out next week, and keep scrolling for the basic deets.
