Cloud Man and the Black Storm is a conceptual fan-game by D-Boy Wheeler, starring Cloud Man. In this, Cloud Man must take on the Black Storm, a group of weather-related robots (which serve as the "Robot Masters" of this game), and eventually take on a storm created by the Evil Energy.
Cloud Man starts out with his Thunder Bolt, and since he can fly, he does not need to fear bottomless pits (he still needs to watch out for spikes, however). A husband and wife scientist team, the Graupel family, gives information along the way.

{The husband and wife scientist duo, the Graupels, repair Cloud Man.}
[Text] Dr. Maurice Graupel and his wife Belinda Graupel repair Cloud Man and reprogram him for good purposes. It was part of a project around the world. Since the passings of both Light and Wily, and Mega Man reverted back to Rock, people around the world deem such measures necessary.
{Cloud Man wakes up.}
Cloud Man: Where am I?
Maurice: Welcome back, Cloud Man. I am Dr. Maurice Graupel, and this is my wife Belinda.
Belinda: How do you feel?
Cloud Man: I feel like cloud nine, thanks.
{Cloud Man creates some beneficial rain showers.}
[Text] Cloud Man soon used his abilities to create helpful rain in impoverished lands, when suddenly...
{Crashing sounds, followed by other sounds of combat.}
[Text] A dangerous force soon landed on Earth.
{Purple glow with silhouettes of the eight bosses appear.}
[Text] Eight robots known as the Black Storm had emerged, and with them is a dangerous power.

Cloud Man: I recognize that energy--Rock told me of it! It's the Evil Energy he faced when he was Mega Man! I've gotta put a stop to it!
