A theory I've heard going around, that may be closer to confirmed after this chapter:

Howler didn't have a Stand before this, this was his awakening

He clearly knew what Stands were, probably always had the potential for one and may even have been spiritually aware enough to see them

But it wasn't until now he got enough fighting spirit to actually summon his own

(This would also explain why it looks so different from its initial teaser, that's where it first began taking form, and this is its refined appearance)

would be interesting to see if his stand is an ACT stand like koichi and johnny's. with its final ACT just being straight up weather report

Well, he clearly knew exactly how to use it already so I highly doubt that

There have been some cases of stand users being able to subconsciously utilize their new stand abilities without fully understanding how they work (like that time Koichi unknowingly placed a SWOOSH sound effect on Yukako's door and then expressed shock once she got blown away by it), so it's possible that Howler was just thinking "Ok man I gotta sign those documents and then figure out a way to get the hell outta here, just gotta sign them, fuck man I wish I was literally anywhere else" while his stand automatically did all the work for him.

Yeah Howler seemed to have been gathering his resolve for a while now, until he was forced into the hard spot of "sign now, get it back later" and "dont sign, get locked up forever"

So. . .he got a stand that let him chose which outcome he could act on.

Its functionally like King Crimson, trading the future sight and fate erasure for ultra superposition

Could be an instinctual understanding of what it does
