Mermaid Man (Daddy Pig Continuum)

Ernie Jim Huckler, better known by his superhero alias Mermaid Man, was a metahuman who served as a crime-fighting vigilante for Bikini Bottom, Virginia, from his adult years until his eventual demise at the hands of Man Ray as an elder.
Mermaid Man appears as a minor character in the Daddy Pig Cinematic Universe, being posthumously mentioned in The SpongeBob and Daddy Pig Show.
== Appearance ==
Mermaid Man, an elderly human with a light tan complexion, white hair, and dark gray eyebrows, is depicted in his iconic attire. This includes an orange top paired with a lavender sea shell bra, deep green gloves and leggings, a black speedo adorned with teal scales, a light yellow utility belt featuring a yellow-orange "M" shaped buckle, and a dark lavender starfish positioned on his nose. Additionally, he sports pink slippers.
His younger self exudes a taller and more muscular physique. His hair is a blond hue, and his skin has a dark peach tone. Notably, the straps on his seashell bra and his pink slippers are absent from this depiction.
== Superpowers ==
Mermaid Man possessed a range of remarkable abilities, showcasing his mastery over the aquatic domain. These included summoning and exerting control over sea creatures, utilizing high-speed swimming techniques to conjure the formidable "Raging Whirlpool," generating water balls, exhibiting super strength, and displaying an exceptional capacity to survive and operate effectively underwater. However, it is worth noting that while he retained these abilities, their potency and effectiveness diminished somewhat in his elderly years compared to Mermaid Man in his prime.
In addition to his natural abilities, Mermaid Man's belt is a marvel of utility itself. This remarkable belt houses a plethora of abilities, often manifesting as beams or rays. One such ability, explicitly named as the "Small Ray," is capable of shrinking objects. The belt also harbors the extraordinary power of Wumbo.
== Backstory ==
Mermaid Man's origin story traces back to his days as an ordinary human. One fateful day, he found himself caught in the clutches of a perilous whirlpool, teetering on the edge of drowning. However, fortune smiled upon him as mermaids intervened, gifting him a magical starfish that bestowed upon him the ability to breathe underwater.
In a twist of fate, Mermaid Man mistook Barnacle Boy's harmless task of scraping barnacles off a ship's hull as a drowning predicament. Leveraging his newfound aquatic powers, he inadvertently drew barnacles into Barnacle Boy's lungs, granting him the same ability to breathe underwater. This serendipitous event inspired the duo to join forces and embark on a crime-fighting journey.
Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, armed with their unique aquatic abilities and a sense of justice, rose to become esteemed superheroes of Bikini Bottom, Virginia. Their heroic escapades garnered them not only local acclaim but also global recognition, resulting in a wave of merchandise, TV shows, and movies that solidified their iconic status. Fans, including avid enthusiasts like SpongeBob SquarePants and Hash Brown, eagerly followed their heroic exploits.
Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy would also played instrumental roles as founding members of the International Justice League of Super Acquaintances, or I.J.L.S.A for short. This formidable crime-fighting alliance aimed to combat evildoers and maintain peace within Bikini Bottom and beyond. The team boasted an impressive roster of additional members, namely The Quickster, Captain Magma, Elastic Waistband, and Miss Appear.
== Death ==
Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, after their illustrious crime-fighting careers, chose a more peaceful path in their golden years, opting for semi-retirement at the tranquil Shady Shoals Rest Home. However, their peaceful existence was shattered when their arch-nemesis, Man Ray, committed a heinous act, ending their lives in a devastating and untimely manner.
The loss of these beloved heroes sent shockwaves through Bikini Bottom and beyond, leaving their fans heartbroken and grieving. The dastardly act perpetrated by Man Ray was a somber reminder of the eternal struggle between good and evil, and the high cost that sometimes comes with standing up for what is right.
Their legacy, however, lives on through the memories and inspiration they left behind, continuing to fuel the fight for justice in the hearts of those who admired and respected them. The world mourned the loss of these iconic heroes, vowing to honor their memory and carry on their noble mission. Hash Brown would later form the Poundland Avengers, a new league of justice-seeking metahumans, as a direct response to Mermaid Man's death.
