X-Men series where secret group called 3K create their own mutants by finding a way to activate the X gene in adults. X-Men #2 saw this happen in the most devastating way possible: one of the group’s victims, Ben Liu, exhibited reality-warping powers that reflected his traumatized belief that he had been abducted by aliens. Although Cyclops chose to hide the mutant’s role in this situation, The storm took the opposite route in Storm No. 1.
Storm’s decision to reveal the mutant was complicit in the US nuclear crisis. Storm #1 is a direct contradiction to Cyclops’ point of view on the same issue – creating a potential confrontation between the two.
IN X-Men #2, Cyclops made the executive decision to hide Liu’s manifestation, leaving the “alien invasion” narrative to take hold in order to prevent the situation from getting worse for the mutants and to keep the mysterious mutant manifestations a secret from the already paranoid public.

Interesting, Storm No. 1 also reveals that the hero is on good terms with Frenzy, who is currently part of Havoc’s government-sponsored X-Factor team in the rebooted film. X Factor. This team couldn’t be much different from Cyclops’ X-Men, and Scott has already expressed disappointment with his brother in X-Men No. 3. In a world where Storm didn’t reveal this new mutant manifestation, she could mediate between the two sides, but that’s unlikely to be an option anymore.

With the X-Men so divided, Storm’s latest decision could push her away from Cyclops and further separate her from the rest of mutantkind.
If title Raid is done secretly, then Storm may not even know that it is happening, especially if she and Cyclops don’t talk after Storm No. 1. It’s hard to imagine what she knows about Graymalkin, since Storm isn’t one to put up with the government literally locking up her fellow X-Men in prison. In any case, which side will Storm take?

Because the X-Men are so divided, Storm the last decision may push her away Cyclopsand further separate her from the rest of the mutant race.
