My Valentine Post for Michelle Yeoh Choo Kheng (Poon/Todt) aka Michelle Khan

An absolutely magnificent woman!
Superb Oscar-winning actress with a range from heavy drama to light comedy with equal aplomb.
Has no actual martial arts training, but her extensive dance background enables her to perform fight choreography to perfection!
Has done her own fights and stunts whenever allowed.
Over 30 films and TV series, and I've seen every one (Even Owl and Dumbo!)
Thank Tech Heaven for multi-region DVD/Blu-Ray players!
Genre credits include
Wicked Part 1 /Wicked Part 2 (Madame Morrible)
Avatar 3 /Avatar 4 (Dr Karina Mogue)
Brothers Sun (Eileen Sun)
Ark: the Animated Series (Mei-Yin Li aka Beast Queen)
School for Good and Evil (Prof Emma Anemone)

It's rumored she was offered the role of Seraph in the second and third Matrix movies, but turned it down. (The role went to a male actor)

Note: The Invisible Woman in Heroic Trio is not the Marvel Comics character.
Nor is Wonder Woman (played by Anita Mui) the DC Comics character.

Halle Berry is STILL Ororo Munroe aka Storm of the X-Men!

I feel like re-running these pix of Halle Berry from the original X-Men series!

And, for the record, I believe she can still pull off the role when the X-Men officially join the MCU!
If you're good with Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart reprising their roles (as I am), why not her?
She's in buff shape, and CGI has improved remarkably since 2000!
The main complaint I had from the Fox series was that she was wayyyy underwritten by the scripters!
