You can't compare the two except for the fact that their both goddesses. One can control the elements and another controls energy within the electromagnetic spectrum. I always loved Monica, she is one of the few heroes that can travel at the speed of light and able to travel through the vacuum of space. How many heroes can soar to the very surface of the sun and glow in sheer delight? A handful! But because of the way she has handled by Marvel and some writers of Marvel, she has meet very little to no exposer. I wonder why this is? She's powerful, beautiful, smart, and a natural leader, just like Ororo. Monica is a character with so much potential, but why can't Marvel see this? She could be in outerspace right now with the Silver Surfer or some other Cosmic Wanderer. Ororo and Monica have some similarities and many differences.

Yes, she might have been created by one of the most underrated writer in the business (Roger Stern) and one of the best artist of the Marvel modern age (John Romita Jr.)... Yes, she was beautifully drawn by John Buscema in his AVENGERS run of the 80's... Yes, she was in the funny and weird NEXTWAVE series... BUT, how can you say that she is the greatest black superheroine, better than Storm? You are nuts! Monica Rambeau/Captain Marvel, like Black Goliath, was just a already existing super-hero identity handed down to a black person. Now Storm was her own from the start. She has always been one of the most noble of the Marvel characters since she was created. She was one of the original New X-Men! She was her own. There were no white Storm character that lend her her identity. She was a goddess, a thief, a mentor (to the young Kitty Pride), she was a free-spirit, one of the top mutants right up there with Wolverine. She is now a Queen, the mate of another great noble character, Black Panther. Be serious once in a while. Please. Man are you out of your mind!
