Abeni was a small mutant girl whose geokinetic powers manifested after a band of tormentors killed her family and her scream of pain was psychically sensed by Storm who ran to her rescue just as Abeni was using her powers against the tormentors. By talking to her about what had happened to her as a child, Ororo was able to calm Abeni and took her with her to the safe haven of Krakoa.
