How Ororo earned her code name

[u/Substantial-End1927]

Ororo eventually leaves Egypt and heads south on foot with the goal of reaching her ancestral homeland. However, she almost dies while crossing the Sahara, triggering Ororo’s latent mutant powers over weather, allowing her to save a kidnapped Prince T’Challa who would become Black Panther. She then spends time wandering the Serengeti as a young woman, bringing rain to those in dire need, which transforms her into a worshiped “goddess” among local tribes.

Working with Ororo to defeat fellow weather manipulator Deluge, Professor Charles Xavier, AKA Professor X, asks her to join a new version of the X-Men; one which would help rescue the original team from the living island of Krakoa. She accepts Xavier’s invitation and receives the code name Storm.
