I can still remember Kitty Pryde's shocked reaction when Ororo first debuted her new look with the mohawk and leather outfit. I was just as surprised, this was well before internet spoilers could ruin such a moment and at a time when costume changes were not found as frequently as they are now. It was a cool look, even though at first I missed that beautiful head of hair and tiara that Storm was famous for. Chris Claremont provided characterization to go along with the change and it made for some good drama as well.
