It's been forever since I read it, but I think the cool suit was covering himself in sandtrout, which eventually led to the wormy fascism?

I did think more or less the same thing on seeing this meme though, in that my first reaction was "wait, wasn't that God Emperor?"

Yes, in Children of Dune, Leto 2 undergoes the water rite or something like that, and the concentrated spice in him makes sand trout (baby worms) cling to his skin and form an armor over his entire body except the face. And then 4000 years later in God Emperor, him big worm.

The worm armor makes him super strong and fast, but i don't remember him doing a lot with that in the books.

Oh right, that!

Been a while since I read them and my enjoyment of the series drops with each further book (except for the fun spike of b-movie wackiness in Emperor).
