Man-O-War

Man-O-War is an eco-terrorist and seafaring menace who is driven by a fanatical zeal to see humanity pay for its many crimes against nature - especially those concerning the ocean, despite his tendency to take the moral high-ground he is also an opportunist who quite happily engages in acts of piracy, theft, kidnap and murder for his own gain. He is one of Aquaon's most dangerous and recurring foes next to the Emperor Of Atlantis.
===Origins===
Growing up in a fishing community Bobby Dick was never like the others in his community and often got into trouble with his radical ideas and criminal tendencies - as he grew older his crimes only escalated and he began to use his extreme environmental views as a convient excuse to continue his violent behaviour and general lawlessness.
Bobby joined HAG and began to cause mayhem on the high-seas by targetting fishing-fleets, comercial liners and even multinational oil-rigs - during one of these attacks he was shot by coast-guards and abandoned by his fellow terrorists, who proceeded to toss him overboard to drown.
However Bobby found himself rescued by Aquaon, who proceeded to take him to shore and heal his wounds - unaware of his crimes - after this experience Bobby became unhinged and developed a geniune fixation on the ocean: seeing Aquaon as an "angel" he quickly began to see the ocean as a spiritual realm he had to protect from humanity.
Yet old habits die hard and Bobby never gave up his old criminal lifestyle either, on the eve of a scientific unfolding of an experimental aquatic-suit designed for military use he broke into the hangar and stole it - with rumors he bribed a corrupt ISDF officer in order to evade security (a rumor later proven correct).
Now renaming himself Man-O-War he has become the scourge of the ocean and seeks to make humanity pay for their many trespasses against the sea, this has alerted the attention of Aquaon and to his surprise she fought him and condemned his actions - this embittered Bobby towards his former "angel" and he hunts her down as well: labelling her as a sympathiser of the corrupt human cause as well as a legitimate threat to his other criminal acivities, which he continues to practice.
===Powers===
Technically Bobby has no superhuman abilities but with aid from the Man-O-War suit he is fully aquatic (needing no air to breath), can swim at incredible speeds and is unaffected by the pressure of great depths - his suit also has eight extendible tentacles that can deliver electrical-shocks sufficient to stun or kill or be used as whips/constraints. In addition the suit grants him protection against the elements and temperature-extremes and is tough enough to withstand armor-piercing rounds.
