Storm was capable of doing boss shit like this, stopping a god damned tsunami in it's tracks.
Brian Singer: What if we make her do nothing at all except for lift toad in the air and have one of the worst one liners in movie history. Yeah that sounds great!
She wailed away pretty hard on Apocalypse.
I get you can't have Storm show off her power on a scale like this where she literally alters the weather patterns of the planet, but Storm was also the leader of the X-Men multiple, multiple times over the years. With several of those times coming before any of the live action movies.
I'd be over the moon if anyone ever got Storm or Rogue right in the movies.
