Storm was originally a soldier in the Battle Bird Armada who had significant problems with authority figures. He had a strong dislike for superior officers in particular, which culminated in an incident where he assaulted one and was thrown in the brig for it. There, Storm found himself alongside Jet and Wave who had been jailed as well for other unrelated inicidents, but the three of them did not stay behind bars for long. (SU: #18, #33)
