2nd Christmas


the Perfect Storm


I found this picture of Storm while looking for a T'Challa and Storm X-mas picture for the banner, 
and hit this chocolate wall.  (stunned I say)

Storm being all that;  in comics and cos play, 
I wanted to see which one of these women would make your top 5 list.

Lets set the criteria shall we?  It's only 2 rules
1.The outfit must look realistic
Regular holloween costumes are cute but no dice. I want to believe.

2. The cosplayer has to own Storms persona
Can't just be pretty girls.....sorry.  To be Storm you have to 
take command of the pose.
Fierce, sensuous or elemental fury; the look has to say goddess.

They can mix and match the looks or go head to toe in a matched set.

Who's your favorite 5




Fellas ....
It's really no need to pick just one, this is a win, win situation.
Don't say I never gave you nothing.

  2. damn, this posting looks like it was sponsored by KING or Black Tail magazine. sorry bro i would told you about that Cap. Atom posting about "taking his coffee dark" over here but as usual my blog role was behind schedule it didn't have this updated posting listed as of yet. i'll make it up to you by adding The Tiger Cage to the ROM blog role too. there's plenty of lovely ladies here to pick from but the best Storm cosplay hands down is the one toward the bottom in the classic original costume i think Dan had her posted on his blog a while back.

    2. The search for Storm was concluded for me when I saw that first picture in front of the waterfall. In the Captain Adom posting, I was talking to KOT. I would have thought by now he would of popped up over here talking shit.

      But anyway, Marvel has really done Storm and T'Challa wrong these days. I've been a Storm hater ever sense Marvel split em up. Still, deep down Storm's my girl. Hence this posting.

    3. "Storm hater", cmon dawg don't be hatin on everybody's favorite African queen. but feel free to hate marvel i do to but hate on Storm no matter how bad they fuck up the character? never. as for the Storm cosplay in front of the water fall yeah i'd so tap that ass too although i wish her boobs were a bit bigger but that pretty face of hers kinda makes up for it.

  3. I wanna hit that chocolate wall- shit, son...
    The top pic, most definitely... Then- 2nd group- third pic... I just love that costume, I think. -Bias.
    #3 and 6 in the first group- I hate that outfit... but it still looks good to me, probably a cartoon-bias... I was never a fan of mohawk-Storm though... don't know why.

  4. Storm up till the late 90's was the best X-woman by a country mile so it's good to see she has this many fans. When I wrote about second in from the left on set two, Karl commented that it was a dude. I still don't think so but either way the cosplay is awesome.

    To me the Jim Lee white suit has never worked well in cosplay land, and while the Extreme X-men one in the centre gets points for best cossie, the one top right in set one gets my vote.

    Attitude and grace means even when it rains it's hot.

    1. I saw second from the left over at your place and had to put her in the running for best Storm. The Storm in the extreme suit center is like BAM! feast your eyes on this force of nature. With that pose alone, I thought she would run away with half of the votes. And top right set 1's pose would get the other half. But in front of the waterfall ... that face that body in my favorite Storm outfit, by the summer rains of Paradise Island I was defeated.

      That's why I needed the Boyz to weigh in. To keep it fair and honest. I wonder if the girls are gonna comment on this one?

  5. The last one with the Xtreme X-men outfit wins it for me, although the one right above to the top left is also fabulous, as is the top box, bottom left.

  7. Storm with the Mohawk was just too extreme for my eclectic tastes...she went from her classic look to this and it was just too much for me.I did like her when she filled in for the FF a while back.

    1. Karl, thanks for stopping by. The mohawk look was to much for me as well, but those were some of the best X-men stories (for me) to date. And those issues of FF with her and T'Challa are in my holy grail of comics in my collection.
