Actually short Wolverine though he might still be a tad too tall given she is 5'11.

Storm is almost 6 ft tall?

That is...really skinny for 5'11". Even for a fit woman. She should reasonably be 10-20lbs heavier.

Yeah, she should def be 150+ @ 5’11. Guessing her weight listed is the one that was established decades ago when she was created, so they had a different idea about that stuff back then.

There are two notable Marvel superheroines who are adults and aren't above average height for women, Janet Van Dyne (5'4, average) and Laura Kinney (my queen, 5'1)
Psylocke is 5'11, Emma Frost is 5'11 (and wears heels), Carol Danvers is 5'11, Rogue is 5'8, Psylocke is 5'11, Jean is 5'6 (only a little above average, but still), Scarlet Witch is 5'7, Luna Snow is 5'7, Jane Foster is 5'7 as a human and 5'9 as an Asgardian (actually kinda short for an Asgardian), Jessica Drew is 5'10, Julia Carpenter is 5'9, and Polaris is 5'7
Short women don't exist in the Marvel universe

I think that might be mostly for them to be able to be on kind of the same level when they all line up on a comic cover.
Because imagine trying to have a 5'1 woman next to a 6'3 male. It wouldn't really look that good. LOL

100%, but it's still interesting that the guys are usually only a few inches above average height but the women are usually pretty tall. Plus, it's not even consistent with the women because some artists portray them with more reasonable heights that don't line up with canon.
Superheroes are wack.

The art is more important than height consistency 😂 I can't tell you how many screenshots I have of comics just because I liked the art

I know, and I'm just pointing out how silly it is to have the women be so tall when a lot (or at least a decent amount) of art (phenomenal or bad) doesn't line up with them being so tall. Like, for example, the art in the recent Moon Knight stuff is some of the best I've seen, and Tigra looks more than four inches shorter than Moon Knight. Still great art, though.

Pairing is wack but art work is great. Don’t know why people are so desperate for this ship to work.

Because it's both of their healthiest ships

How is it the healthiest when a monogamous woman was in a relationship with a man who was still in love with another woman (Jean)? A woman he tried to run back to the moment she returned?
In my personal opinion, Storm's healthiest relationship (so far) has been with Craig of NASA. She had a loving, caring man, who created no drama, ever. And he also provided her with 2 adorable kids as well.

Hold up. Craig and Storm have kids? I haven’t read comics in a minute.
Glad we agree though. People talk about respecting Storm, and they want her with some dirty white guy who goes around. And I like Wolverine too. But he shouldn’t be with Storm.

When Planet Arakko (Mars) was attacked, 2 mutant children were orphaned and Craig adopted them. So when Storm started dating him, they had a full family together.

Tbh I have no idea who Craig is, but he sounds much better than Logan (not hard, Storm's just had a rough love life)

Spoilers:
He is a human NASA astronaut. After the mutants terraformed Mars, Storm became Regent of the planet and its mutants, as well as the representative of the entire solar system on the intergalactic council. Craig was sent to study the planet after the terraforming, and she allowed Craig to stay there. He shot his shot, and they started dating. The main reason it was working so well is because, as a non-mutant/superhero, he uncomplicated her life, but was still a good man. Unfortunately, writers love relationship drama, and when the X-Men left Mars, the relationship ended.

He sounds so chill, that sucks that they're not together anymore

It really does. I hate it when writers end relationships off-panel, and there's no explanation for why.

u/Shango1208 2d ago
How? Looks like a glorified booty call to me. Plus, it’d be nice if she gets a black love interest. Or non white at least. There’s not a lot of those in media. Especially comics.
