Weather Control Machine: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[PS238]]'', the fact that the school is covered by Weather Satelites is frequently mentioned (and, at one point, weaponized), but even their control cannot stand up to the powers of The Rainmaker. (He's a lot more dangerous than he sounds.) The ghost of a [[The Nameless|nameless]] Native Shaman apparently also had weather-control powers when he was alive, and eventually gets to use them when he possesses a student with the ability to channel ghostly powers...

* In the first arc of ''[[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Mighty Avengers]]'' we learn that [[Iron Man|Tony Stark]] (already on the edge of the [[Moral Event Horizon]] after the [[Marvel Civil War]]) has launched weather altering satellites into orbit. They are hijacked by Ultron.

 

 

* In the ''[[Vampire Hunter D]]'' novels weather control systems used to be ubiquitous in the now-extinct vampire civilization, used for practical purposes as well as entertainment, and were occasionally even weaponized. They, like everything else is breaking down [[After the End]], resulting in some highly unpredictable or just plain unnatural weather patterns in large portions of the planet.

* In [[Robert E. Howard]]'s ''The Hour of the Dragon'', Xaltotun tries to trap [[Conan the Barbarian]] by creating a flood with rains. He dismisses it as a fluke when it fails; actually, other magic was used against it.

 

 

* Sir Raleigh in the first [[Sly Cooper]] game has a storm machine in the shape of an airship that he uses to cause squalls and sink ships.

* [[Final Fantasy XIII-2]] has one under the control of the Archylte Steppe nomads. Each weather condition has a different effect on the monster population: Sunny and rainy bring out more fauna-like monsters, cloudy spawns goblins and machines, and stormy brings out droves of Cie'th.
