Storm And Her Sexuality In Ultimate Black Panther #2 (Spoilers)

Today sees the publication of Ultimate Black Panther #2 by Bryan Hill and Stefano Caselli, with T'Challa married to Oyeke, and a prophecy.

Today sees the publication of Ultimate Black Panther #2 by Bryan Hill and Stefano Caselli, part of the seriously strong launch of Marvel's Ultimate line, and making all manner of changes along the way as you might expect. So we have T'Challa married to Okoye, and there is a prophecy to come.

A woman of light who will birth a child to T'Challa. Is it Okoye?

Possibly, possibly not, because there is another possibility suddenly in the offing. And no, we don't mean Killmonger.

Storm, his former wife in the 616 Universe, but in this new Ultimate Universe, mutants were sidelined rather. They may not even know what or who they are. It may also, however, be notable that Storm is wearing a rainbow coloured legscarf.

Again on the cover of next month's Ultimate Black Panther #3 as well. Might this be a chance to make text something that was intended by Chris Claremont, was teased in the 616, and much discussed for years, namely Storm being a bisexual woman? While she may have spent time with Black Panther, Forge and Wolverine, there was also Yukio. Whether that be them having a romp together…

…more than sisters, less than friends…

…never as happy since and wanting to join her…

.. though she may have been a little befuddled by the Axis switch around then, but no one else affected by that event had their sexualities reversed.

And there is always Luciano Vecchio's thoughts on the matter too.

Might they be setting something a little more textual in Ultimate Black Panther? Even while they are also teasing she is to be the mother of T'Challa's baby? Say, that couldn't be Maystorm could it?
