Biography

The dirt witch Ainet grew up in the Kenyan part of the Serengeti in a Maasi tribe. From early on she used her abilities to help her tribe. Thanks to her power and her status within the tribe she grew to an old age though she never bore children. After Achmed El Gibar had cast out a young Ororo Monroe and after she had met a young T’challa future leader of Wakanda and her powers had just begun to manifest, Ainet took her into their village and became her adopted mother. She was the first one to realize that Storm’s power allowed her to move around existing weather patterns as opposed to creating new patterns.

After Storm joined the X-men and lived in America they still kept in contact despite the distance. After the Onslaught Saga the Shadow king took over her mind after she summoned Storm for Aid. When Storm and her X-men arrived the Shadowking tricked Psylocke into setting off an effect which crippled the worlds telepaths. In the end they defeated the villain and the X-men helped restore the village to the way it was before. (X-men #77-78, 1997)

It’s assumed she remains in the village to this day.
