BLACK MANTA
If you look at aquatic super-heroes, the good guys are usually some sort of aquatic royalty, from a magical undersea kingdom. Or, sometimes they’re “as one” with the creatures of the ocean and can communicate with them like loyal subjects. It’s kind of BS, right? In real life, the ocean is a pretty fierce, Darwinian sort of place. Sink or swim. Kill, or be killed by something with bigger teeth. So, it stands to reason that an aquatic villain would see things in that light and be ready to burst that sentimental bubble.
