Weaknesses & Limitations

Physical Weaknesses

Dehydration Vulnerability: Prolonged time away from water dries out his skin and gills, weakening his strength and dulling his senses. On land for too long, his powers (especially hydrokinesis) begin to falter.

Saltwater Sensitivity (Mutant Quirk): Unlike his kind, his mutation makes him more sensitive to extremely concentrated saltwater (brine, industrial runoff, or desalination byproduct). Acts like acid on his skin, leaving him in pain and disoriented.

Pressure Imbalance: Though adapted to deep sea pressure, rapid shifts (such as being blasted suddenly from the depths to the surface) can leave him disoriented, nauseated, or even unconscious.

Extreme Heat: His body is adapted for cold oceans; high-heat environments (volcanoes, deserts, fire-based enemies) quickly dehydrate and overwhelm him.

Dependence on Hydration for Healing: His regenerative abilities are significantly slowed when away from water. Severe injuries on land may leave him vulnerable until he can submerge.

Psychological Weaknesses

Identity Crisis: Gilbert doesn’t remember his life before 1876 and constantly questions if his people abandoned him or if he was exiled. Manipulators can prey on his longing for belonging or his guilt about being “different.”

Trauma from Exploitation: His time in the sideshow left deep scars. He reacts strongly to cages, tanks, or attempts to restrain him, sometimes lashing out in panic or rage.

Protective Instincts: He feels an almost compulsive need to protect marine life and those he considers family. Enemies can exploit this by using hostages or threatening the ocean itself.

Alienation from Humanity: Despite being raised by a kind fisherman, he still struggles to connect with human society. Social isolation and mistrust can make him reckless or unwilling to seek help.

Fear of the Abyss: His fragmented memories suggest something deeper in the ocean — a throne, a voice, or an enemy. Part of him fears returning to the deepest trenches, where he suspects the truth of his exile lies.

Situational Weaknesses

Reliance on Water for Power: His hydrokinesis is weaker in arid or enclosed environments without access to water sources.

Magnet for Exploitation: Governments, corporations, and scientists see him as a living specimen. He must constantly avoid being captured or studied.

Unstable Brumation: While brumation kept him alive in the glacier, in modern times if he’s trapped in extreme cold or deprived of food for too long, he risks involuntarily slipping back into hibernation.
