This is “Beg Steal or Borrow,” a feature about when comic book characters are abruptly pulled from one book to another. I’m not talking about when comic book characters simply migrate from one title to another. I mean examples where a writer has a character taken out of the book against their wishes. It almost always happens in team books, but sometimes it occurs in solo titles, as well. Today, we look at how Storm was written out of the X-Men for her marriage to Black Panther.Obviously, as I have this whole feature for it, characters being pulled from one comic book title to another against the wishes of the writer is something that happens a lot. However, for the most part, it tends to be situations where the superhero has their own solo comic book, and naturally, the decisions of the solo comic book creative team are going to outweigh the decisions of the superhero team that the solo superhero also appears on. More unusual is when a comic book character ISN’T a solo hero, and then STILL gets pulled from their team book. When things like that DO happen, they’re usually cases where the book making the pull is the more popular title, like when the Batman office decided that they wanted Nightwing back from the Titans office after a decade of Nightwing no longer being a Batman-controlled character.Here’s the really fascinating thing about Storm being pulled from the pages of the X-Men. Chris Claremont had already split Storm off from the X-Men BEFORE he lost her as a character in Uncanny X-Men. You see, Storm had been one of the main characters in Claremont’s series, X-Treme X-Men, about a group of X-Men who set off to recover all of these diaries that the precognitive mutant, Destiny, had written, which contained a lot of valuable (and possibly deadly) information. Once that was resolved, Storm’s team evolved into a new group known as X-Treme Sanctions Executive, sort of a liasion between humans and mutants. X-Treme X-Men then ended, and Claremont took over as the writer of Uncanny X-Men with #444, bringing the X-Treme Sanctions Executive concept over to Uncanny X-Men, adding Nightcrawler to the team in the process.
