Beginning a post with "ah shut up" may be a sign that's it's time for you to get some of your prescriptions refilled...why don't you take care of that right quick while I re-read some X-Men back issues
The initial salutations part of the original poster aside, Storm kind of was the face of female Marvel for quite a while. There were other females (Wasp, Sue, Jean, Wanda even had her own book with Vision) but Storm seemed to be the go to as X-Men was Marvel's key book in the 80's and beyond. They even loved Storm so much that they decided to make her leader of the X-Men even after she lost her powers and became a mo-hawk wearing leather clad badass.
