I got this idea when I was watching Kamen Rider Double recently and its been bothering me.

Long story short, in Kamen Rider Double, one of the antagonists has the power to manipulate the Weather. And he's shown to be powerful. Very, very powerful. And the reason is how versatile and varied his abilities are. Whereas most of the characters on the show only have one or two abilities, this guy has (to date), electrified people, frozen them solid, drowned them, summoned gigantic tornadoes, caused clouds to darken the sky so much it becomes pitch-black, etc.

And in the Winx Club, we have Darcy, who on paper should be the strongest of the Witches. Icy's powers should be ridiculously easy for her to emulate, and Darcy's might be a bit more of a challenge, but depending on how you define "weather" this could apply to eclipses and then she's got a whole new area of domain to have fun with.

... Just throwing this out there for people to think about and discuss, really.

Well, her power is just...tornadoes. It keeps people in the air for a few seconds, that's basically it. Since she is the third one in the group she doesn't get to you her powers as much as Icy or Darcy and she only has one spell(I think) whereas Icy and Darcy have at least three.

Really? Just tornadoes?

Jeez, talk about getting the short end of the stick.

She is the youngest, and doesn't have the patience of concentration to refine her powers. She is a kill now, think later person. Whereas Icy is a kill now, laugh lager, and then get beaten person. Darcy appears to be the think now, try to kill, insult about her fialure later

... Such a shame too. They go from being relatively competent and planning villains in season 1 and then in 2 and 3 they're just underlings of the main villain.

And the only way the writers could think of making them a genuine threat again was getting possessed by their ancestors, by the looks of it. V_V

I agree!

I think the only reason Icy's the leader, is because of her personality and Darcy and Stormy are afraid of her? But anyways, Stormy I think, should have the potential to be much, much stronger than she appears. Darcy too even.

I agree with Wkw. She probably just doesn't care to develop her powers that much, because she rarely thinks the attacks through.

Posted by: mightymarty2 Apr 18 2010, 7:04 AM

Well stormy only seems to focus on wind based attacks, i think shes too impulsive and she is not that well trained.

Icy is deffinatly the strongest though I see Icy as the strongest and darcy and stormy are fairly equal

I always taught her powers were lightning based..... y'know, like zapping stuff.

Posted by: Jahnavi Apr 18 2010, 1:46 PM

Well, all the spells/attacks I've recalled her actually using in the show have all been some forms of tornadoes or lightning.

Posted by: P-girl Apr 18 2010, 1:50 PM

Well, I think it's the same as with Valtor's sudden power drop: she'd be too strong for the heroines.

Posted by: MorriganAensland Apr 18 2010, 4:05 PM

I really wish they would have done something with the witches in the third season. Simply because they should have realized by then that things never really worked out for them. Darcy especially, she's the planner of the group and you'd think she'd be able to realize what always happened to them.

But you can't always get what you want and at least they quietly pushed the Silly Rabbit Cereal Squad off to the side so they can make a better impression in the movie.

Season 3 was filled to the brim with wasted potential. The skipped over home realms, Cassandra and her daughter, fairy Mirta, Griffin's previous allegiance with Valtor and the Witches, Valtor's origin as, basically, a construct, Bloom's Enchantix, I can't be the only one that went 'What about EARTH?!' during her 'I don't have a way to gain my Enchantix 'cause my planet's dead, boohoo'-moods, etc.

I sure hope the 2nd movie has them back on top as the badass and nasty foes that they were. As far as I've seen Season 4, they've learned from some mistakes.

Posted by: mightymarty2 Apr 18 2010, 9:00 PM

While I aggree with the waste especially tecna (potentially a very interesting planet), valtor etc being wasted. Bloom's planet is sparx not earth. I doubt earth would have counted even if she lived there her whole life after being sent there

Why not? It could be a nice lesson about your true home not being where you were born, but being where you grew up, and where you have the fondest memories. Same goes for parents. And I'm really impressed by Winx actually exploring this dilemma with having two sets of parents for Bloom, one she has known for all her life and one that is her blood-related set of parents. Which one would be considered her true parents? But that might just be my personal experience.

Posted by: MorriganAensland Apr 19 2010, 12:36 AM

No, it's a good idea. And it deserves props for the fact it didn't go the route of either her adoptive or birth parents being horrible people.

Posted by: wkw427 Apr 19 2010, 12:58 AM

I think her birth parents are going to end up being the horrible people

Posted by: CrowSama Apr 19 2010, 1:07 AM

I don't get why you'd say they'd be horrible people... in the movie they don't seem like total loosers

Posted by: Princess-Mariah Apr 19 2010, 2:32 AM

Hmm I can't picture them horrible people I mean have you seen blooms adoptive mom she's all Sweet and lovey dovey it is kinda really creepy to me lol

Posted by: {§hani} May 8 2010, 12:03 PM

yeah to be honest they've completly gotten the witches powers all wrong. Icy's powers of "ice" should be relatively easy to controll and use, and i think they're quite limited also, so i really dont see why she's the head witch. I mean she has the personality and looks but still.
Darcy is amazing, i love her. But i wish they could've developed her powers more. I think she could be the head witch and the most powerful witch also. I mean her powers are basically manipulation and deception.

But yeah on topic, Stormy's weather powers should get her more places. She's heavily underated i think. I also really hated when in Season 3 they basically said she's weak and not a proper witch and made fun of her with Valtor. She could be so much more. Better than Icy even.

Posted by: Another Morning May 10 2010, 2:00 AM

I didn't think Stormy controlled all weather as much as just storms, which would mostly be lightening with some wind a a little rain/water. I guess she could make some already standing body of water flood, but I don't know that she could actually control the flood.

I always thought that Darcy should be the most powerful, because both her powers and personality are so manipulative and sneaky. My brain wants to say that she was really the leader and she was using Icy as a puppet to take the brunt of the damage.

Posted by: {§hani} May 11 2010, 10:15 AM

mm same thing here with Darcy. She'stoo manipulative to be a minor witch. to be honest i only think Icy is the leader because of her ego and her big talk. *wants darcy to be the lead witch*

Posted by: Winx4eva! May 12 2010, 5:51 PM

I personally don't mind the balance with Icy the head, Darcy and Stormy. BUT, I would really like it if she could rage out more! It's really fun X3

Posted by: Another Morning May 13 2010, 4:10 AM

The other thing that hinders Stormy (that I think somebody might have mentioned, I'll be upfront and say that the whole topic is tl;dr so I'm not sure what all has been brought up exactly) is her infamous temper. Stormy is a "shoot first, ask questions never" kind of girl, and that really doesn't work well in leadership positions. Regardless of how powerful she is, she doesn't plot, and that's what separates the evil leaders from the evil support team.

Darcy has always been my favorite and I have never understood why she wasn't more powerful or the one in charge. She seems like most of the time she is the one that has it together while stormy is short tempered and Icy is too set on revenge to focus on the little details.

Posted by: P-girl Apr 25 2013, 3:07 PM

Ambition, mostly. Darcy seems to be the one to just kick back and let somebody else do it. Not what you call leader material.

Posted by: Abby Apr 25 2013, 7:51 PM

I guess. But I could also see that being her way of letting others do the dirty work for her in certain contexts while she is the mastermind of everything.
