Xavier, who acknowledged she was a mutant from her brainwaves, declined to contact Ororo at this point, not wanting to shock the young woman with the true nature of her powers. At that moment, Xavier was psionically attacked by another mutant, Amahl Farouk (absolute ruler of Cairo’s thieves), and Ororo used the opportunity to escape. The man proved no easy mark, however, as he was Charles Xavier, a powerful mutant telepath who used his abilities to stop the theft. During her time in Cairo, Ororo picked the pocket of an American tourist. Achmed trained Ororo in the arts of thievery and she soon became his prize pupil, excelling in picking both pockets and locks. Homeless and orphaned, Ororo was found by a gang of street urchins who took her to their master, Achmed El Gibár. Ororo managed to escape the rubble of her shattered home with nothing but the tattered clothes on her back and her mother's ancestral ruby. This traumatizing effect left Ororo with the severe claustrophobia that still afflicts her today. Ororo's parents were killed, but she survived, buried under rubble near her mother's body. When Ororo was six months old, she and her parents moved to Cairo, Egypt and, at the age of five, a plane crash destroyed their home. Born Ororo Munroe, her mother, N'Daré, was the princess of a tribe in Kenya, who married the American photojournalist, David Munroe, and moved with him to Manhattan, where Ororo was born. Ororo Munroe, also known as Storm, is the descendant of an ancient line of African priestesses, all of whom have white hair, blue eyes, and the potential to wield magic. In order to act on behalf of the Arakki people, Storm has assembled a Brotherhood. She has also become regent of the newly terraformed Planet Arrako, being part of its ruling faction, the Great Ring. With the foundation of the mutant-exclusive nation on the living island of Krakoa by Xavier, Storm has joined the Krakoan Quiet Council, the ultimate mutant government body. Storm also has strong ties with the nation of Wakanda, being its former queen due to her marriage to Black Panther. Later, she formed her own division of X-Men apart from Xavier's, that was officially sanctioned by the U.N. After losing her powers, Storm embarked on a self-discovery journey to reconnect to the source of her abilities. Her challenging experiences have led her to connect herself to violent aspects of her soul she had never believed to possess. With the X-Men, Storm has had the opportunity to explore the universe in unexpected ways, rising to prominence in the group and becoming the leader of the team for years. Adopting the name Storm, Ororo accepted the offer, intending to comprehend the origin and potential of her powers. She was eventually approached by Professor Xavier to join his X-Men, a mutant group aimed at implementing peace between humans and mutants. Venerated by the locals as a goddess, Ororo used her abilities to ease the droughts in the arid desert. As a teenager, she felt an urge to travel to the south, arriving to the Serengeti plains. The young Ororo became a sneak thief on the streets of Cairo under the tutelage of Achmed El Gibár, who provided her a home. As the daughter of a Kenyan tribal princess and an American photojournalist who lived in Cairo, Egypt, she became an orphan after a plane crashed on and destroyed her home. Ororo Munroe is a powerful mutant with weather-manipulating abilities, prestigiously known as the windriding Storm. It's fighting for what you have, what you believe in. It isn't a series of do-overs and restarts. The true measure of life is in the living.
