X-Men
Ororo Monroe is the descendant of an ancient line of African priestesses, all of whom have white hair, blue eyes, and the potential to wield magic. Her mother was an African princess who married an American photojournalist and moved to Manhattan where Ororo was born. The couple relocated to Cairo, Egypt, where they were killed when Ororo was five years old. Forced to survive on her own, she became a skilled thief and was caught picking the pocket of Professor Charles Xavier, a powerful telepath and leader of the X-Men.
Ororo’s ability to control the weather emerged during her time in Africa, where she was worshiped as a goddess for her gift. She was later recruited by Professor Xavier to join the X-Men and given the codename "Storm."

Wonderfalls
It's not everyday your best friend tells you she speaks to inanimate objects. Mahandra McGinty, cocktail waitress at the The Barrel in Niagra Falls, is sarcastic, witty and loyal to a fault. That loyalty went only so far when her best friend Jaye Tyler confessed she had a special gift, the ability to communicate with objects around her.
But Mahandra had a secret of her own. A secret romance with Jaye’s brother Aaron Tyler. Though she was convinced her friend had officially gone insane, Mahandra and Jaye’s friendship not only survived, but continued to grow stronger.
