Ominous , metaphorical tempest clouds have been gathering over Black Panther ’s Wakanda for some prison term now as the ancient Orisha have seemingly desert T’Challa and his people . But just as the old deities have go away , a new(ish ) goddess is coming into her powers in Marvel ’s comics , and it ’s long overdue .
As is typically the case , Wakanda has been under assault from outsider who desire to see the powerful nation gloam . In improver to a restored and significantly more muscular Ulysses Klaw attacking Wakanda , T’Challa and Shuri have been desperately endeavor to figure out why the ancient gods who once watched over the country have deserted them , make it possible for all manner of villainous otherworldly creatures to cross over from the religious aeroplane . Long before the first Wakandans settled on the country enriched by the vibranium hammock , beings known as Originators lived in peace and harmony that would only be disturbed when the human first arrived .
For a time , the early Wakandans were able to coexist with the Originators , but finally , they declare warfare on their neighbors and were able-bodied to tug them off to another proportion . The sheer power of the Wakandans ’ trust in some of their earliest leaders is what transformed them into the Orisha ( including Bast ) , and it ’s the Orisha ’s bearing that acted as a kind of stamp that kept the Originators locked forth . With the Orisha missing and the Originators swamp through portals pop up arbitrarily all over the state , many Wakandan hoi polloi turned to a man have it away as Ras the Exhorter , who has been spreading the word of a supposed unexampled god , Sefako .
As it ferment out , the being send for itself Sefako was never a newfangled deity or Orisha , but actually the Adversary , the ancient federal agent of topsy-turvyness who ’s often clashed with the X - Men in the past . All the unsound orphic SOB go down in Wakanda ? It ’s the Adversary ’s doing .
With the Adversary ’s office in Wakanda ’s troubles exposed , T’Challa and his allies finally have a clear target to attack , but what ’s less obvious is just how one would go about reversing the demon ’s magical encroachment on the humans . Though the demon can be weakened by iron and vibranium , T’Challa ’s forces alone are n’t quite able to drive the Adversary back — something that would require the strength of an evenly - powerful divine being .
Though tempest was first insert as a mutant back in 1975 , over the decennary the quality has been revealed to have warm mystic potential that ’s usually see in her alternating - dimension vis-a-vis likeBloodstorm . In Black Panther # 172 , Ta - Nehisi Coates list into this particular part of Storm ’s character in a big direction when T’Challa reveals the final part of his program to defeat the adversary .
As the king of Wakanda , T’Challa explain , he is the ghostlike embodiment of the commonwealth and its people , something that allows him to imbue a hero with all of Wakanda ’s religion in the same way that the first Wakandans did for produce the original Orisha . Bolstered by Wakanda ’s spiritual energy , Storm taps into the power of the Hadari Yao , a Wakandan female parent - goddess shape who maintains the balance of all thing , and form quick oeuvre of the Adversary , blackball the Originators in the process .
Though the specific nature of Storm ’s newfound ( and perhaps temporary ) ability are n’t fully explained , the Adversary and the Originators ’ defeat implies that for all purport and purposes , violent storm is an Orisha now whose presence maintains the seal between worlds . It ’s a meaning growing for Storm that ’s likely to have conspicuously inher forthcoming solo serial publication , but the most shocking of surprises Black Panther # 172 delivers is far more mundane :
