Born '''Ororo Munroe''' to a tribal princess of [[Kenya]] and an African-American photojournalist father, Storm was raised in [[Harlem]], New York City and [[Cairo]], Egypt. She was made an orphan after her parents were killed when a plane crashed into their house. An incident at this time also traumatized Ororo, leaving her with [[claustrophobia]] that she would struggle with for decades. Under the tutelage of a master thief, an adolescent Ororo became a skilled [[Pickpocketing|pickpocket]]. By coincidence, she meets the powerful mutant [[Professor X]]. Professor X later convinces Ororo to join the X-Men and use her abilities for a greater cause and purpose. Possessing natural leadership skills and formidable powers of her own, Storm has been a member of teams such as the [[Avengers (comics)|Avengers]] and the [[Fantastic Four]], as well as the X-Men. Storm is also a part of a highly promoted romantic relationship with [[Black Panther (character)|Black Panther]]. While she was married to him, she was also made [[queen consort]] of the fictional African nation of [[Wakanda]]. While she lost the title when the marriage was annulled, she has maintained her relationship with Black Panther in many subsequent stories.
