After all, SHE WILL MEET YOU AT THE MONORAAAAAAAAAIL!

That's true! Apocalypse took a major misstep though, and was mainly the Magneto fan club, again (Singer just cannot make ensemble pieces). Mystique, Moira (who has never been Moira), Psylocke, and Storm were all victims of cardboard cut-outitis. Jean was the only one truly involved, and even then Singer has this obsession with Xavier controlling her power levels..

At least Hasbro have got the formula right, though. Phoenix, Rogue and Kitty in this wave, Dazzler and Polaris in the next (rumoured) wave, and X-23, Mystique and Lady Deathstrike in the (also rumoured) Wolverine wave. That's some solid representation of the X-Men's core female characters!

I also doubt that anyone could write Storm the way Claremont did. Across any media. He wove so finely her aspects of strength, doubt, regality, earthliness, darkness and raw power that no-one has come close to since. (imo, of course!)
