If you intend the villain to encounter the heroes in different milieus throughout the story arc, you should feel free to alter the stat block to give the villain powers appropriate to the situation in which the players discover that villain.

The best way to accomplish this is to give the villain a few “signature powers” that the players can recognize as unique to the villain. Then the villain can have a few “variable” power slots that you can customize to the occasion. These variable powers should be fairly similar to one another, but still different in a useful way.
