Tornado/Air Blast

I remember this old-time DC comic book character called the Red Tornado.
Really cool powerset - tornado's eminating from his hands, etc.
Would be really nice to have something like that in this game, we already have Storm Summoning, so some of the graphical effects already exist.

Powers:

1. Air Blast - ranged minor damage ( cold, slows enemy )
2. Wind Gale - ranged moderate damage ( energy, foe knockdown )
3. Dust Devils - targeted AOE ( energy, slows enemy ) -
graphical effect would be of a number of mini-tornados swirling around the target.
4. Tornadic Form ( +Dmg, +Acc, + Speed ) - slight increase to damage, accuracy, and travel speed. Legs temporarily turn into a tornado. ( duration 30 secs )
5. Tornado Bolt, Ranged Snipe - superior damage. ( graphical effect would be dual tornados eminating from both hands going horizontally to the target ).
6. Sand Storm - short range cone, moderate damage. ( foe disorient )
( graphical effect would be of a wall of dust - like a desert storm ).
7. Water Spout - ranged high damage. Double water spouts eminating from the hands - to the target. ( enemy slow )
8. Down Draft - ranged AOE ( moderate damage ).
9. Cyclone - superior damage PBAOE. ( graphical effect would be similar to hurricane, but would have a short duration ).

Effects could be varied from what I've specified. I know most sets concentrate on just 1 effect, such as slow or knockback. I'm not picky in that regard.

Edit:
Guess I should have put this in the suggestions/ideas forum. My bad.

Think this would be a great set. And, assuming they kept up with the super amazing standards of the Watee Fx..could be gorgeous.

The Torandoic form sounds great..would be cool too see. Dust devils also (I recall a few threads were people said they wanted the devils Scirocco has).
Not sure what damage type it would be..but you could have powers in it with different ones, ala water. Such as teh Lightning blast with an energy component, water spout with cold, sand storm with fire.

I am picturing it as the guy in X Men First Class (cant remember his name). The bad guy in the suit, who makes lil dust devils from his palms.

I'm not sure whether Air Blast is a good idea for a powerset.

You know, we already have a powerset that could be called Air Blast: Sonic Attack. (Sound is just motion in the air, after all.) In order for Air Blast to be a different powerset, maybe it should rather be Weather Blast, or something like that?

Very cool idea, and I do think a Wind Blast set will make its way into the game at some point in the future. Just make sure to build around existing and likely future Wind ******* powers, so as not to cause namespace collisions or too much duplicated functionality. The names of the following two powers, in particular, are problematic.
