Storm the Albatross


 * You may be looking for the leader of the Raiju Clan, Bride of Conquering Storm.

Storm the Albatross is a hulking, grey albatross and Jet the Hawk's right hand man.

Battle Bird Armada
Storm was originally a member of the Battle Bird Armada, but left the group with his teammates because of his disdain for their methods. (SU: #18)

Employed by Eggman
Storm began working under Dr. Eggman after Jet the Hawk was captured by the tyrant for attempting to steal a vapor accelerator. After cutting a deal with his captor, Jet recruited Storm and Wave the Swallow to help him defeat Sonic the Hedgehog. The trio approached Knothole setting off an alarm that brought Sonic out to confront them. Storm kept up with Sonic using his Extreme Gear, and proved his superior strength by knocking Sonic flying with a punch. He and his teammates then introduced themselves as the Babylon Rogues. (StH: #163)

The next day, as the trio returned to attack Knothole, Storm questioned whether Jet thought that Sonic would interfere with them again, though the Hawk proved confident that he wouldn't. Jet's belief was proven wrong as Sonic arrived on his own Extreme Gear accompanied by Tails and Knuckles the Echidna. The two teams then began a battle race to Knothole, with Storm grappling with Knuckles and learning to his surprise that the Echidna was as strong as he was. (StH: #164)


 * The final results of this battle have not yet been shown, though presumably the Babylon Rogues were defeated and driven off by the defending trio.

Going After the Armada
Some time after the fight with Sonic and friends, Storm and the rest of the Babylon Rogues showed up near Cocoa Island in their zeppelin, apparently planning to attack the Battle Bird Armada. When Wave made note of the Armada's fortress' damaged condition, wondering if other rougues were responsible, Jet simply brushed it off, stating that only the rogues could touch the relics of their ancestors, and they were "going to remind their old buddies why that is". (SU: #20)

Personailty
Storm is an imposing sight and powerful force, capable of destroying just about anything. Despite being committed to his duties, Storm has a very quick and fierce temper. He's somewhat simple-minded and easily insulted.

Storm is very loyal to Jet, and believes his loyalty is greater than anyone else's. Because of this, he is always ready for an assignment.

Abilities
Storm is the strongest member of the Babylon Rogues, equal in raw might to Knuckles, but is stereotypically stupid. He, like the rest of his team, is a specialist at using Extreme Gear, and often uses his brute strength to knock down other racers.

Background information
Storm appeared on the cover of Sonic X: #15, where he appeared as an action figure equipped with his extreme gear. He also made a cameo appearance in issue 218 as a silhouette in Sand Blast City.
