Code Name
Tempest
Appearance
Physiology
As the daughter of Thor Odinson, the Asgardian God of Thunder, and Ororo Munroe (Storm), the mutant weather goddess, N'Daré possesses a unique hybrid physiology that blends Asgardian durability with human-mutant adaptability and potent magical essence. Her Asgardian heritage grants her superhuman strength, stamina, and longevity far beyond that of a typical human, allowing her to withstand extreme environments, regenerate from injuries at an accelerated rate, and age slowly once reaching maturity. Infused with her mother's X-gene, she exhibits enhanced mutant traits tied to atmospheric manipulation, amplified by her divine bloodline. This fusion makes her body highly resilient to electricity, weather extremes, and magical forces. Notably, she can shift her physical form into a humanoid storm cloud a misty, semi-corporeal state where her body becomes a swirling mass of dark vapor laced with lightning, rendering her intangible to most physical attacks while allowing her to traverse vast distances or unleash elemental fury. In this form, she retains her consciousness and can reform at will, though prolonged use drains her energy due to her youth and inexperience.
Abilities
N'Daré's abilities are an evolved blend of her parents' powers, resembling those of a Storm Giant from Asgardian lore commanding tempests, thunder, and atmospheric forces on a massive scale, but grounded in her mutant genetics She manipulates weather primarily through storm clouds, generating hurricanes, tornadoes, or torrential rains with precision, but her control is still developing, leading to occasional unintended escalations. Her powers grow stronger in stormy environments or when channeling Asgardian magic.
Electricity Manipulation
Inherited from both parents, N'Daré can generate and control electricity with devastating potency. She fires lightning bolts from her hands for targeted strikes, or, while airborne, charges her entire body to unleash a massive lightning blast like an orbital cannon aiming downward to obliterate threats, capable of leveling three city blocks at her current skill level. As she matures, this could scale to far greater destruction, but her inexperience means she often underestimates the recoil or collateral damage.
Flight
By manipulating the air currents around her, N'Daré achieves seamless flight, propelling herself off the ground or through the skies at incredible speeds up to Mach 5 in atmosphere and even in the vacuum of space by encasing herself in a self-sustained air bubble. Her movement feels effortless, like gliding in her own personal storm, allowing for agile maneuvers in battle.
Cloud Manipulation:
N'Daré can summon and shape clouds at will, forming dense barriers for protection or concealment. These clouds can be electrified for defense, such as enveloping a base in an "electric cloud" to hide it from enemies or disrupt incoming attacks. In her storm cloud form, she becomes one with these elements, enhancing her stealth and mobility.
Ice Manipulation (Limited)
Drawing on magical reserves rather than her core mutant abilities, N'Daré can conjure ice and cold with moderate proficiency. She might freeze objects or summon a localized snowstorm to disorient foes, but it's not as instinctive or powerful as her storm-based powers requiring concentration and often leaving her fatigued if overused.
Runic & Witchery Knowledge
N'Daré is a prodigy in mystical arts, self-taught through trial and error with Asgardian runic magic, which she uses to inscribe protective wards, enhance her elemental attacks, or summon illusions. She blends this with witchery learned from her mother's ancient grimoires, allowing spells for healing, divination, or amplifying weather phenomena. Her unique "brand" of magic fuses these traditions, creating hybrid effects like rune-infused lightning storms. Though talented, her knowledge is patchwork, leading to experimental (and sometimes explosive) results.
Alternate Universe (AU) Origin
N'Daré hails from a shattered alternate universe (designated Earth-81999, a divergent branch of the prime Marvel 616 timeline) where cosmic catastrophe has unraveled reality. Long ago, Earth was obliterated in a cataclysmic war, scattering survivors across the stars. Heroes fell in droves Avengers, X-Men, and gods alike succumbed to an insidious cosmic entity known as The Scourge, a voracious, assimilating force that corrupts and consumes worlds, spreading like an unstoppable plague through planets and minds. This entity devours life essence, twisting victims into mindless extensions of itself, leaving barren husks in its wake. The universe teeters on oblivion, with dwindling civilizations clinging to isolated outposts amid the encroaching void.
In this grim reality, N'Daré lost her father, Thor, at age 19 during a desperate stand against The Scourge's advance. As one of the last 15 surviving Asgardians, she rose as second-in-command under Lady Sif, who leads their remnant people from a humble new Asgard a verdant, nature-dominated planet far from the golden spires of old, serving as a modest settlement of huts, forests, and rune-carved defenses. Struggling with her burgeoning powers, N'Daré trains relentlessly, often in solitude, to master her abilities amid the chaos. Seeking allies, she encountered remnants of the X-Men her mother's former family and granted them sanctuary in new Asgard, forging a fragile alliance. Though she couldn't prevent many losses, N'Daré's leadership provides a beacon of hope, blending her mutant heritage with Asgardian resolve to combat The Scourge's relentless tide.
