12 Most Dangerous X-Men

5. Storm

We've seen a lot of extremely powerful mutants on this list so far, but only one of them is actually worshipped as a God.

Ororo Munroe, also known as Storm, has complete control over the weather, able to manipulate it to her will. You just have to look at the real-world history of natural disasters caused by hurricanes, tornadoes, storms, typhoons, blizzards, sandstorms, wind, rain, and hail to see how ridiculously dangerous this power could be in the wrong hands.

Luckily, it is in the right hands. Storm has always been one of the most loyal and morally just X-Men, even when she went through her punk mohawk phase. Next to Professor X and Cyclops, she is one of the most successful and capable leaders of the team, potentially even more suitable to lead than any of her peers.

So while it's obvious that Storm is powerful, what exactly makes her dangerous? Well, let's put it this way: she's a mutant with God-level powers of manipulating weather patterns, yet she still hasn't done a damn thing to combat one of the biggest problems facing both man and mutantkind today: climate change. That's a dangerous lack of prioritising, Storm.
