Storm was seen as a goddess across Africa and her influence on the real world is just as powerful. We examine Ororo’s hurricane-force impact on the X-Men, Marvel universe, and on popular culture.

Emma Frost’s name is known across the Marvel Universe, for reasons good and bad. We’ll spotlight the controversial ways in which the fashion queen catapulted Krakoa to success and turned the Hellfire Gala into one of the most hotly anticipated mainstays of the Marvel Universe.

Kate Bishop Hawkeye has been a Young Avenger, a West Coast Avenger, and a private eye. She might not have any super powers, but she more than makes up for it with courage, a true arrow, and sheer force of will!

Gwen Stacy lives a double life as Spider-Gwen (or Ghost-Spider or Earth-65’s Spider-Woman…). If all those names are confusing, don’t worry: writer Seanan McGuire will walk through her whole multiversal backstory!

The Wasp turns 60! Janet Van Dyne is a mother figure, a good friend, a team leader, and was responsible for naming the Avengers!

Princess Shuri is the Black Panther T’Challa’s sister and has been the Black Panther herself – and she is the ultimate scientific genius!

There’s a LOT going on in Jean Grey’s head! The first woman of the X-Men can communicate with others and move objects with her mind. Women of Marvel hosts - editor Ellie Pyle and writer Preeti Chhibber - examine how Jean tries, succeeds, and often fails to maintain her sanity with the universe on her shoulders.

Women of Marvel is celebrating Women’s History month by highlighting four of the artists that are featured in the Women of Marvel exhibit at Disney Hotel NY in Disneyland Paris.

Women of Marvel closes out our season on mentorship by bringing three “generations” of Marvel comics editors together for a roundtable conversation: Jenny Lee (Wolverine, Daredevil: Redemption, Ultimate Daredevil and Elektra), MacKenzie Cadenhead (Avengers and Power Pack, X-Men and Power Pack, New Warriors, Elektra: The Hand), and Sana Amanat (Ms. Marvel, Hawkeye, The Mighty Captain Marvel). Jenny mentored Mackenzie, who mentored Sana, who is a friend and role model to our three hosts!

Valeria Richards has had a complicated life with various influences….good and bad. In the Fantastic Four, Sue Storm is a loving mother, leader, and mentor to Valeria. Conversely, in Marvel’s Wastelander’s podcast, Valeria’s parents are dead, and the only person left who can match her intellect is Victor Von Doom. We examine and contrast these two very different mentors in Valeria’s life.

The X-Men fostered one of the greatest mentor relationships in the Marvel Universe – the one between Storm and her “Kitten”, Kate Pryde. Kitty first enrolled at Charles Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters at age 13 and Storm helped her become the leader she is today. Marvel’s own Robyn Belt walks us through their relationship via some key 1980s X-Men issues featuring heartbreak, Cyclops, Storm’s mohawk hairstyle, and more!

Possibly the most visible example of female empowerment in the Marvel Universe is the relationship between Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel.

They explore how a genius like Lunella can still have a lot to learn from mentors like Ms. Marvel and Wolverine and from connecting with peers as a mentor figure herself.

Who are the Wasps and why are there two of them?! In this episode, host Ellie Pyle digs into the relationship between Janet van Dyne and her stepdaughter Nadia van Dyne, why Janet was willing to share both her last name and the title of “the Wasp”, how her lessons helped Nadia grow, and how she helped Nadia manage her Bipolar Disorder.
