Here's how that Storm storyline happened in the X-Men comic books.
As Storm, mutant mistress of the elements, Ororo Munroe commands and controls the weather. But by the end of Wednesday's two-episode series premiere of X-Men '97, titled"To Me, My X-Men" and"Mutant Liberation Begins," the goddess wind rider has another moniker: human. When she's stripped of her mutant powers, Storm decides to leave the X-Men — just as another former member makes their shocking return.
Entrusted with Xavier's dream of mutant-human coexistence, reformed mutant terrorist-turned-hero Magneto surrenders himself to Dr. Valerie Cooper and then stands trial at U.N. Headquarters for crimes against humanity. But when the Friend of Humanity's Carl Denti targets the trial of Magneto as the X-Cutioner, the extremist fires his laser rifle at the X-Men's new leader... and shoots Storm, who throws herself into the blast meant for Magneto.
In the comics, it's Gyrich who shoots Storm with the full power of a neutralizer gun in 1984's Uncanny X-Men #185. Storm is stripped of her powers saving a reformed Rogue, not Magneto, and is confirmed to be depowered in Uncanny X-Men #186 — the now-classic"Lifedeath" by writer Chris Claremont and artist Barry Windsor-Smith.
"This is not life, Forge, merely existence -- a shadow of what was. To believe otherwise is but the cruelest of deceptions." – Storm, Uncanny X-Men #186
