Appearance

Skin Tone: Smooth, aquatic blue, with a faint sheen that catches the light like wet scales. Slight mottled darker patterns across his body, particularly on his torso and limbs, giving him a natural camouflage-like texture.

Eyes: Solid white and pupil-less, glowing faintly in darkness, lending him an alien, unreadable gaze.

Head: Prominent head fin running like a crest from his forehead back over his skull. Sharp, angular facial features — high cheekbones, pronounced brow, slightly ridged nose. Gills visible on both sides of his neck, flaring gently when he breathes.

Arms: Sleek and muscular, with thin, fin-like ridges extending from his forearms/wrists. These flex slightly when he moves, helping him steer underwater.

Body: Lean, swimmer’s build with defined musculature. Torso patterned with natural aquatic mottling, almost like the spots of a fish or amphibian. Posture is upright and commanding, giving him an almost noble bearing despite his alien look. Hands/Feet: Webbed fingers and toes for propulsion. Nails are darker, hardened, and claw-like in shape.

Costume Integration: Wears a fitted, green-scaled bodysuit patterned to resemble fish skin (blending well with his natural coloring). Golden belt, gloves, and boots accent his heroic aesthetic, contrasting with his alien appearance. Costume material appears flexible enough for swimming but armored enough for combat.

Overall Vibe: Otherworldly but regal — somewhere between a deep-sea predator and an Atlantean knight, commanding respect even out of the water.

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.

Enemies/Foes

Codename: Pirahnus the Man-Fish

Real Name: Marcus Pirano

Designation: The Corrupted Reflection/The Savage Brute

Details: Once a brilliant marine biologist named Dr. Marcus Pirano, he was obsessed with genetic splicing to create “the ultimate survivor.” His funding came from a shadowy private military group, eager to weaponize aquatic soldiers. Driven by ego and obsession, Pirano began human trials on himself, fusing his DNA with that of aggressive predatory fish, including piranhas and deep-sea apex species.

The process destroyed his humanity—his body mutated, his mind fractured, and he was cast out by the very group that funded him. Consumed by rage, hunger, and alien instincts, he abandoned his human name and became Pirahnus the Man-Fish, prowling coastal cities and undersea routes as a terror of the deep. He believes himself the true ruler of the oceans, intent on devouring the weak and ruling over aquatic and land dwellers alike.

Codename: The Jellyfish Queen

Real Name: Nidarya

Designation: The Regal Tyrant / Dark Monarch

Details: Once the high priestess of an ancient undersea cult devoted to the preservation of the deep, Nidarya was betrayed by her fellow council members who sought power from surface dwellers. Cast into the abyssal trenches as punishment, she was believed lost to the crushing dark.

There, she encountered strange, bioluminescent organisms—jellyfish-like beings of immense size and psychic resonance. Infusing her with their venom and glow, they transformed her into something greater than mortal. Emerging from the abyss, she declared herself The Jellyfish Queen, determined to rule the oceans with her new divine power.

She views herself as chosen by the abyss, destined to lead both land and sea into submission.

Codename: Red Tide

Real Name: Hugo Borisov

Designation: The Corrupted Avenger / Poisoned Wasteland

Details: Hugo Borisov was a Soviet deep-sea diver in the late 1960s, sent to investigate a sunken nuclear submarine near the Arctic. The waters were already polluted with industrial waste and radioactive dumping, but Hugo dove anyway, loyal to his state’s secrecy.

While exploring, he became entangled in a glowing mass of irradiated red algae that had been feeding off the nuclear waste. The algae invaded his body, merging with his cells, poisoning him and keeping him alive in a horrific symbiosis.

When he surfaced, his comrades recoiled in horror. Declared a monstrosity and a liability, he was sealed inside his diving suit and abandoned in the sea to die. But Hugo didn’t die — the algae preserved him, mutating him over decades.

Decades later, he emerged as Red Tide, furious at humanity for poisoning the oceans and casting him aside. He sees himself as the “wrath of the poisoned seas,” determined to spread his toxic blooms across the globe.

Codename: Kingray

Real Name: Raymond Fisher

Designation: The Conqueror / Pirate Warlord

Details: Raymond Fisher grew up in a coastal Soviet-bloc fishing village, the son of a sailor who vanished at sea. The ocean provided his family’s livelihood, but it also took everything from him: his father, his home (destroyed in a shipping accident), and eventually his chance at a normal life.

Fisher joined the navy as a diver and engineer, excelling in underwater demolitions and tactical combat. But he was betrayed during a covert mission — left behind during a sabotage operation to cover his commander’s retreat. Trapped in the deep, Fisher nearly drowned, saved only by his own ingenuity and sheer will.

Consumed with rage, he abandoned his nation and forged his own path. Using stolen tech and salvaged wrecks, he built his Kingray suit, swearing vengeance on those who betrayed him and control over the seas that had taken everything.

Now, Kingray is a mercenary, pirate, and self-proclaimed ruler of the deep. He commands fleets of stolen vessels and mercenaries, raiding shipping lanes, sabotaging navies, and hunting anyone who dares stand against him.

Codename: The Leviathan Twins

Real Names: Levi and Ethan Fisher

Designation: The Henchmen /The Dark Legacy

Details: Levi and Ethan Fisher were born at sea, raised by Raymond Fisher — now Kingray — aboard his stolen fleet. Their childhood was one of brutality and indoctrination, learning combat, diving, and piracy from an early age. Kingray did not raise them as sons, but as soldiers, punishing weakness and rewarding ruthlessness.

In their teens, both lost an arm during a failed raid on a heavily armed oil rig. Kingray forced them into cybernetic enhancement, replacing their missing limbs with experimental harpoon-launcher prosthetics. Instead of seeing them as crippled, he reforged them into weapons — his “Leviathan Twins.”

From then on, Levi and Ethan served as Kingray’s personal enforcers, his right and left hand both literally and figuratively. Loyal to their father yet desperate for his approval, they carry out his dirtiest work: assassinations, hostage-taking, and terror strikes.
