Villain Design Thoughts – Doom Storm (Concept Stage) 🌩️

 I’ve been exploring some ideas for the main villain in my Elementals project  his name is Doom Storm. Still very early, but here are some thoughts I’m working with:

I’m thinking of a muscular and powerful body type  something Venom-like. Not smooth or clean, but wild, flexible, and full of chaotic energy. Maybe the surface of his skin could shift like liquid storm clouds?

I keep going back to Conquest from Invincible. I like how calm but threatening he is. That line,

"Stand ready for my arrival."
really fits Doom Storm. I might use something similar, but still deciding if I’ll keep the word "worm" in it.

His arms might have sharp, angled spikes similar to the ones on Batman’s gloves. I imagine them being part of his storm control abilities, like they charge with energy or slice through wind.

A big idea I want to try is having Doom Storm create smaller storm creatures from his own body  maybe I’ll call them Doomie Storms? They could fly around him like angry particles, or even work like scouts or attackers. 

I want him to be completely black maybe with some glowing cracks inside, like lightning trying to escape. I'm also thinking about adding some smoky or electric trails behind him when he moves.
