X-Men Apocalypse Week: Storm

With the latest addition to the X-Men's growing cinematic library X-Men: Apocalypse releasing this week, we' re going to spend the next few days focusing on a few of the boys and girls out of the good ol' school for gifted youngsters. To be more specific, we'll spotlight a few of the film's "horsemen" of Apocalypse, one of the x-mythos most powerful mutant villains making his big screen debut this week thanks to Bryan Singer and Oscar Isaac. Although she is not known in the comics for following the metal clad Apocalypse, it seems she will be a key character in the film, and we're finally getting her with her fan-favorite mohawk.

Without further ado, here are some great Storm collectibles...
