History: Professor Charles Xavier -- assembling a team of "X-Men" to help him stop the coming war between humans and mutants -- located Ororo Munroe in an Athens, Texas, jail using the psychic amplifier Cerebro. According to the police report, Ororo had stolen a 1978 Mustang. When authorities finally caught up to her and pulled her over, she used her mutant ability to create a lightning storm. Because she cannot fully control her powers, Ororo almost electrocuted a playground full of students. The police used force to subdue her.
The young telepath Jean Grey (Marvel Girl) used her powers to enter the Athens police lockup and make the guard believe she was an FBI agent dispatched to retrieve Ororo. In reality, Xavier had sent Jean to bring Ororo to his Institute for Gifted Children. Previously, the mutant now codenamed Storm had refused a similar offer to join Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants.
Though skeptical, Ororo has joined the X-Men in the hope of learning to control her mutant powers.
