Why Storm is not Omega-Level Mutant. Welcome to the official disbelief.

You are allowed to bitch, cry, scream, deny and even put a blindfold to cover your eyes from seeing the reality. But for now, you can lay down and relaxe and enjoy the post. Denial sometimes actually works. Is the refusal to accept reality or fact, acting as if a painful event did not exist. Just remember wherever you are, you will be able to see it. Please concede....because this is getting tiresome.

I like Storm just like some of you but sometime you can’t refuse other things and think like it never existed. My post is about Storm vs ? That said, canon, non canon, Earth 616, non Earth 616, regardless they’re all Storm. But here, you will see that I do care a little for what you think. I’m putting up the best gallery show, ever.

Let’s begin with why she’s not Omega. So, why isn’t she Omega? Well, to be more specific, she has LIMITS.

Storm is not nearly as durable.

Storm vs Jean Grey/Phoenix

I like both of them!!! But who’s stronger? The reality is on panel. Jean would beat her. No contest. All she has to do is mess with her head and BAM she’s down and out for the count. Yeah, I know what you’re gonna say “Storm is a better fighter” but in the long run Jean could beat her

Another incident

AND another incident

Thanks to Magneto she didn’t die.

Storm vs Barnacle

Barnacle is a mutant from the Acolytes team. His mutant powers allow him to turn any type of moisture into a hardened shell and more. He can use this ability to encase people with their own bodily fluids and more. Hoping to capitalize on Storm’s claustrophobia, Barnacle jumped her and quickly began to encase Storm. Storm definitely struggled with Barnacle. Thanks to Nightcrawler for saving her.

Storm vs Sunspot/or should I say Eclipse???? I know that’s not really him.

Clearly he was faster than lightning. Thanks to Cyclops for saving her ass.

Storm vs Rogue

We know for a fact Rogue can sustain any power she absorbs from others. I see Storm struggling on her knees.

Storm vs War Machine

Despite what the Storm fanbase would like to believe, War Machine wins. War Machine who is way weaker than Iron-man tanked her attacks.

Storm vs Sage

Ain’t that’s the chick Storm was dating? Well she got her ass kicked by that chick.

Storm vs Polaris

Oh yes it counts. Despite This Polaris was a robot but she has exactly everything from the original Polaris.

Another incident

She did tie Storm in a knot and was about to fuck her up. Thank God she’s not like Storm who would’ve done it without thinking about it. It’s safe to say that in Gifted, Polaris seems stronger on screen than Storm has ever been.

Storm vs Domino

Domino guys, DOMINO even fucked her up.

Storm vs Sentinels

She has been depicted so poorly here. She couldn’t defeat those Sentinels but Jean could and did.

Storm vs Crystal

Crystal is an Inhuman and a Princess. She can also manipulate weather except she has the power of full control of the 4 elements. She’s a weather witch.

Storm vs Thor/robot Thor A FUCKING ROBOT THOR GUYS

Despite this was only a robot she couldn’t even beat that shit. Can you imagine the original Thor? She’ll be stomped.

Storm vs Proteus

Thanks to Wolverine she didn’t find herself in a claustrophobic place.

Storm Vs Nova

Yup! Nova from the New Warriors knocked her out.

Storm vs Madame Hydra

Don’t ask me where is this from. Consider Storm was knocked down by hydra

Storm vs Juggernaut

Well you already know the story lol

Storm vs StrongGuy

StrongGuy aka Guido Carosella from X-Factor. Sorry but he had the upper hand here.

Storm vs Snowbird

And yet, another weather manipulator. Sometime we keep forgetting there’s another weather witch aside from crystal. Storm got stumped by another weather witch from Alpha Flight.

Storm vs Apocalypse

What made Storm think she can beat Apocalypse? She’s not Magneto to compare to lol

Another Incident

Yup! Knocked the fuck out.

Storm vs Wonder Woman

Honestly, this is how it should’ve been. Lightning don’t do exact shit to WW as we saw in her amazing previous movie. Speed, Agility, Strength, Combat, Durability, resistance to cold wasn’t something for Storm to beat her with just lightning. WW can block those and fuck her up. Just saying.

Storm vs Valkyrie

Truly you can’t mess with a real God.

Storm vs Cyclops

We do know Storm can fight but so can Cyclops. Despite (I think) she was possessed by the Shadow King who used her to go against the X-men but this is only to show Cyclops can also fight in combat.

Another incident

LOL

Storm vs Legion

I posted this before only this time will post these two pages. We know how “powerful” her lightning is but apparently not too powerful for some. It took Chamber (who’s not an Omega) to put Legion down.

another incident

SHA-THOW! she was already on the ground lol. Legion mocking her prayers. I guess not even praying can make her Omega LOL.

Storm vs Chandra

We know there was another incident and a very interesting one where they were facing each other and Storm stumped her. Here is another incident where Chandra was paying back lol. She did fuck Storm’s up badly. You can see blood coming out of her mouth. I guess payback is a bitch LOL.

Storm vs Magneto

Magneto is stronger than Storm and we all know it. Magneto reacts with the speed of thought. What is more powerful than this shit alone? And as we know there are more incidents

Storm only charged Magneto’s power with her own lightning. Storm using her lightning is defenseless against Magneto. Same can be said for Polaris who can absorb electrical energy to make herself more powerful and we know it.

Another incident

and another incident

and believe me there are more incidents but this would be enough to make myself clear that between Storm vs Magneto....Magneto wins. No contest. Despite Storm winds and “holding herself back” she still lost battle.

Man, there are still more to come.

Storm vs Callisto

Storm and Callisto had a long history of fighting each other. It’s true Storm beats Callisto but usually Callisto gets the upper hand first. Storm did beat Callisto here but it wasn’t until after she was defeated first. My point exactly is that Storm got stumped big time.

Storm vs Dazzler

This was one badass Dazzler from Ultimate. She totally pounded Storm.

Storm vs Robot I guess

Her lightning once again can’t do shit to the robot.

Storm vs Sunfire

BROOOOOM! not once but twice

LOL

Storm vs Hussar and Earthquake

Yup!

Storm vs Doctor Strange

Yup! She’s nothing compared to real magic. Though I don’t think she ever uses magic.

Storm vs Black Panther

Can this count? I think so. Though there are more incidents of these two “lovers” trying to kill each other LOL

Storm vs Sienna Blaze

If I remember correctly, Storm couldn’t defeat Sienna.

Storm vs (you’re not gonna believe it) Thunderball and Wrecker

This is sososo but sososo funny LOL. She thought she was Hulk or something? LOL get the fuck outta here LOL.

Storm vs ? Can someone help me identify this man

Whoever he is, beat Storm.

Although even in game Scarlet Witch beats Storm LOL

Now let’s go to recent battles.

Storm vs Collosus

Oh yes, lightning doing nothing.

Storm vs Omega Red. All I know she was in the air and the next few panels she was on

the floor knocked the fuck out.

Storm vs Spider-Man I just has to post it

Storm vs Mosaic

Mosaic is from Inhumans and he can project from his physical body as a being consisting primarily of a previously unknown form of energy. He easily took Storm’s body. Naja thought it was the actual Storm so she started beating her up LOl.

Storm vs Archangel

Yes, Storm got Angel but what she didn’t know is that Angel also got her.

Ok. In extraordinary X-men, Storm was so incompetent and was getting beaten every second. She was getting beaten by a group from limbo. Her body was used against her will (like possessed if you ask me). Oh boy. I will name this Storm vs Hell LOL

Poor Storm and no, I’m not joking. She was treated so bad here.

And at last (out of so many more) Bloodstorm from x-men Blue which is where we’re at now.

Sadly we don’t know when Storm might get back from that. I assume she’s dead but since she’s shown on other future covers, that suggests she’s coming back. But this doesn’t stop from what I’ve been trying to say

Whoooo. This was ONE HELL OF A POST. So, how you guys like the gallery? Truly this is one of the most awesome galleries that you can find about Storm getting her ass kicked MANY TIMES.

So my question still remains for you guys.....it she an Omega-Level Mutant?

Empedocles' Ghost

“The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.” — Albert Einstein

KRÆ syndikatet and Noysky Projects presents Empedocles’ Ghost, a week-long exhibition and series of performances featuring works that explore the relationship between science and mysticism. Empedocles’ Ghost is a collaboration between artist-run galleries KRÆ syndikatet of Copenhagen and Noysky Projects of Los Angeles. Empedocles’ Ghost is Noysky Projects’ first off-site, international exhibition, which opens at Warehouse9 in Copenhagen.

Scholars have ruminated on the connection between science and spirituality for thousands of years, applying folk pedagogy to explain the complexity of the world. The Greek philosopher Empedocles was one of the first to formalize this concept, stating that the foundation for all matter consisted of earth, wind, fire, and water. Respectively, Buddhist, Egyptian, Babylonian, Hindu, and Chinese scholars also drew connections with the four elements, emphasizing the universal nature of this concept.

But with the widespread implementation of the scientific method, science and religion separated, leaving folk practices like alchemy and esotericism to decline precipitously. The fallout from this schism has fostered the rise of literalism, pitting the definitive logic of science against the ascribed doctrine of religion.

Many of the works in Empedocles’ Ghost reconnect the fields of knowledge with that which is mysterious: Melissa Walter mines from her work as an illustrator for NASA, referencing near-fictional concepts like string theory, dark matter, and gravitational lensing, while Michael Carter’s interactive sculpture based on the methods of the ancient Egyptian harpedonaptai (“rope stretcher”) aligns the earth-bound viewer to the celestial bodies with great precision.

Some link the technology of today with the supernatural: Sean Noyce’s video projection renders data visualizations from sound frequencies of an ancient Greek funeral song, while Jenalee Harmon’s laminated transparent sequential photographs are an ode to time, space, speed, and technology of the Futurists that subtly allude to the hidden entities behind those forces.

Others reference Empedocles’ contribution to science and philosophy: Debby and Larry Kline’s large format pen and ink drawings of the four elements contain the visual language of illuminated manuscripts, while Samuel Scharf’s sculpture alludes to Empedocles’ himself, who was said to have committed suicide by throwing himself into Mount Etna; Scharf playfully invites viewers to toss a period-styled sandal into a ring of cobblestones, loosely referencing the active volcano.

About the artists

Sean Noyce’s Funeral Procession merges the technology of today with the mysticism and rituals of antiquity. Sampling a modern recreation of an ancient Greek funeral song, Noyce stretches the recording over 100 times so that the audible moments are abstracted to haunting drones and chimes. The recording is then imputed into a program that Noyce has written, rendering visualizations from those sound frequencies. The video projection references the fleeting moment when the spirit leaves the body as it travels between the transitory plane between the living and the dead.

Debby and Larry Kline’s The Alchemist is part of a large-scale installation devoted to the living cycle of trash. The main character is both ancient and modern. His garb is based on Han dynasty (206 BC–220 AD) jade burial suits. Through a contemporary translation, he has become a sleek superhero, emblematic of industry. The Alchemist shapes our world by creating value added products from raw or recycled materials, though his tendency towards overproduction is often to our detriment. We have created many drawings detailing his journey. The drawings in this exhibition are based on the alchemical principles of the four elements (earth, air, water, and fire).

Samuel Scharf’s sculpture alludes to the ancient Greek philosopher, Empedocles, who was credited as one of the first to theorize that all matter consisted of the classical four elements of earth, air, water, and fire. Empedocles was said to have committed suicide by throwing himself into Mount Etna so that the people would believe his body had vanished and he had turned into an immortal god. Scharf playfully invites viewers to toss a period-styled sandal into a ring of cobblestones, loosely referencing that dramatic moment at the volcano.

Michael Carter’s Solar Alignment reconnects the viewer to the hidden forces, properties, and geometries that bind the universe. Not unlike a neolithic earthwork, Carter’s interactive sculpture positions the earth-bound viewer with the sun using technology of the ancient Egyptian harpedonaptai (“rope stretchers”). As the viewer grounds themselves near the square patch of soil at the corner of the Euclidean triangle, they are positioned in alignment with path of the sun, represented as a golden disc perched high up in the gallery. Solar Alignment stresses the importance of hidden affinities and shared experiences that affect us on a deep, visceral way, and have inspired higher thinking for several millennia.

Jenalee Harmon’s photographs represent the liminal space between two distinct moments in time: the one that has just passed and the one that is yet to come. Meticulously produced and staged, her works are inspired by the theatrics of performers, magicians, illusionists, and trick photographers of 20th century cinema. Harmon’s sequential photographs exemplify a world in constant motion — an ode to time, space, and speed of the Futurists, machine learning and technology of artificial intelligence, and the mystery and intrigue of the supernatural.

Melissa Walter visually explores concepts concerning astronomy and astrophysical theories. Walter has worked as a graphic designer and science illustrator for NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and as a team member of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Her experience has inspired her to visually articulate wonders of the Universe, such as black holes, supernovas, neutron stars, dark matter and more recently, dark energy. Walter’s use of sound, dramatic optics and lighting within her sculptural installations embed a transcendent quality to the experience of her work while infusing cosmic energy into ordinary materials such as ink and paper. She translates and materializes the intangible knowledge of the Universe into an aesthetic physical reality for a personal experience.

Camilla Reyman work within the fields of abstract painting, sculpture and installation art. She investigate the thought of consciousness being as a kind of matter and that matter might have agency of its own. Camilla prefer working with materials made by non-humans: plants, silk, dirt, bees wax, organic pigment etc, and sees her works as collaborations where her artistic intentions and the materials themselves create the final outcome on equal terms.

I am interested in how materiality has been perceived through out human history: how it is surrounds us in everyday objects, how it has been and is used in shamanic practices and how it is researched in science and dissolved in quantum physics.

Alexander Holm GiVa1G is a wooden usb drive amulet holding a number of files documenting an exploration of hollow oak trees collected in the southern forests of Norway in summer 2017. The drive includes sound, images and video, aswell as 1 hour of music based on these files. The material were collected in company with biologist Ross Wetherbee, and are originally thought to serve the Norwegian University of Life Sciences's research on the fading numbers of hollow oaks in Norway and the impact they have on local biodiversity as well as our time's global mass extinction. The files on the amulet captures a specific process, which goes as follows: When an oak tree is 2-3 hundred years old a goat horned beetle eats halfway trough the tree into the core of the trunk to eat it’s marrow. The beetle carries a virus that infects the tree to let it die slowly over the following 4-9 hundred years as a hollow grows inside it. As time passes the hollow hosts an increasingly huge number of plant and insect species which only exist in the conditions of the tree. The files points towards a specific time and place: Scandinavia around 1st millennium. Covered in forest — “Trees Of Life”. Norns sitting at the foot of Yggdrasil spinning the fade of humanity. A dragon slowly eating the roots. A squirrel bringing messages from the dragon to an eagle. The eagle sits in the crown watching over middle earth. On it’s beak sits a hawk waving its wings, pushing the winds. Somewhere else four deers are resting, eating off the crowns leaves.

Nymphaea/Åkande by Daughters of the 12th house (Naja Ryde Ankarfeldt & Elena Lundqvist Ortíz) Growing from a society that sees the human as outside, beyond or above nature, we initiated an exploration of the nature that is closest to us: our own bodies and the space surrounding. By very concretely placing our bodies directly on paper as templates and tracing the outlines of our limbs in different postures. Through the union and crystallization of our two practices and bodies, a new body emerges, that appears as an inversion of the Vitruvian Man. Rather than reproducing the narrative of anthropocentrism, and the white male human form as the measure of all things, Nymphaea re-figures the human as always entangled with other species. Using this method we want to craft another story of the human. The work is influenced by spiritual practices in a secularized society, in an attempt to re-integrate spiritual and material worlds. The project is part of an ongoing research and collaboration, where we use tarot and astrology, and more concretely investigating the 12th house, which represents the mystical and unknown dimensions of life. Initiating our collaboration we drew the tarot card “Philosopher of Stones”, more commonly known as “Page of Pentacles”, as a guide for our composite energy. The card renders a human in a lotus position that is also used as template for Nymphaea.

Katya Usvitsky’s sculpture explores concepts of birth, growth and decay through the process of alchemy. Using women’s pantyhose as her primary material — a vestige from Victorian-era corsets and garter belts that constrict the female body — Usvitsky allows the materials to blossom, infusing her sculpture with energy that give the materials a new life, outwardly reminiscent of biological processes including cell division, mutation, and replication. The mysterious transmutation of the piece can be observed in the bell jar, as the piece is on the verge of becoming too large for its vessel.
