That's just all she's ever known, is just bad," Shipp told Collider. "I don't necessarily see her as a bad person, or as a bad mutant. As Apocalypse goes on, it might be easy to label Storm a villain due to her alliance with Apocalypse, but Shipp doesn't see it that way. She wants to be recognized for her abilities in a similar way, and that's where Apocalypse swoops in. Following the events of X-Men: Days of Future Past, in which Mystique outed herself as a mutant and saved the President, creating more peaceful relations between mutants and humans, Storm idolizes Mystique. It's part of what makes Storm so susceptible to Apocalypse's charms.Īll Storm wants is a place to belong. Though her tragic background is never explicitly stated in the film, it's clear that Ororo is an orphan, just like she is in the comics, an assumption Shipp and director Bryan Singer confirmed in the above Collider interview. She's struggling to get by, using her powers to survive - a stark difference from the Storm we all know, who uses her powers to protect innocent lives. When we first meet Storm in Apocalypse, she is living in Cairo, using her powers to help her steal from the local merchants, just as her character, Ororo Munroe, did in the comics. It's not like she's in the mansion having a great time," Shipp said in an interview with Collider. So much of Wolverine's storyline in the X-Men movies has revolved.

And how her story evolves from there is a huge departure from the comics. It's Apocalypse who helps nurture Storm's abilities, not Charles. Storm is actually the first mutant to catch Apocalypse's eye, and the first of the four horsemen to join his cause. In the movie, however, Apocalypse gets to her first. In the original comics, Storm first meets Professor X when she attempts to pick pocket him in Cairo. So yes, Storm's origin story finally gets told in X-Men: Apocalypse, but as for how it measures up to her origin story in the comics? Well, it's actually pretty similar. In the film, fans finally get to see Storm's first brush with the X-Men, and even get a glimpse at what her life was like before she joined the mutant family. Instead, Alexandra Shipp is making her debut as a younger version of the character in Apocalypse, which takes place in he '80s. X-Men: Days of Future Past Storm fights in the dystopian future. Unfortunately, though, Halle Berry, who previously portrayed the superhero in four X-Men films, isn't reprising her role. Fans of Storm, the mutant goddess who can control the weather, are finally getting the origin story they've been waiting for in X-Men: Apocalypse.
