Aqualad (Jackson Hyde)

## Powers & Abilities

* **Atlantean Hybridized Physiology:** Due to generations of living under the sea, Atlanteans have evolved greatly. Even hybrids are far superior to any other human.
	+ **Amphibious Nature:** Jackson discovered that he can breathe underwater indefinitely using his gills and even speak while submerged. Being born and having spent most of his life above the water, he is also adapted to prolonged periods without it.
	+ **Enhanced Senses:**
		- **Enhanced Vision:** A thin invisible membrane cover Aqualad's eyes that allows Jackson to see perfectly in the pitch-blackness of the ocean. His eyes also allow him to pick up energy patterns in the water, similar to wearing infrared goggles. He displayed this ability when he tracked Superboy by following his solar energy pattern.
		- **Enhanced Hearing:** Jackson's hearing is far greater than any human's.
	+ **Superhuman Durability:** He is adapted to survive the crushing depths of the ocean, where pressures up to 1086 pounds of force per square inch are applied.
	+ **Superhuman Reflexes:**
	+ **Superhuman Speed:**
	+ **Superhuman Stamina:**
	+ **Superhuman Strength:** Jackson was strong enough to cleave through a steel street light with his water sword.
* **Illuminating Body Marks:** Jackson has dark/tattoo-like, arrow-shaped body marks on the outer side of both arms. Whenever he uses his hydro- or electrokinesis they light up and turn bright blue. However, they weren't (permanently) visible when his powers first manifested during childhood.
	+ **Hydrokinesis:** Jackson has the ability to control water by "speaking" to it mentally. He inherited it from his mother (It is unknown how she acquired these powers, as they are usually reserved for Xebelian royalty). He was mostly self-trained at shaping water and usually focused it through his waterbearers to form weapons but after his training with Mera he has mastered his control over water. He has still shown some impressive feats, such as constructing a giant spear to kill the sea beast guarding the Black Pearl or collapsing a tidal wave. He can also use it to divert incoming water, like protecting someone from rain or sealing an underwater hull-breach, walk on a flat water surface, or influence the water/blood inside a living creature.
		- **Cryokinesis:** Aqualad is able to turn water he controls to ice and melt it quickly.
		- **Haemokinesis:** A facet of his water warping skills also enables him to control the hydration content that exists within blood flow in the same manner. Aqualad himself inferring he could twist a living person inside out by taking direct command over their sanguine fluids with enough concentration.
	+ **Electrokinesis:** Jackson can emit bioelectric shocks from his body. He can also transmit them through his hydrokinetic constructs.
		- **Electro-Blast:** Releasing his energy all at once creates a huge electric blast. With support from an external energy source he was once able to take out an entire army of Trench soldiers in one strike.
* **Swordsmanship:**
* **Driving:**
* **Swimming:** As an Atlantean swimming is as natural to Jackson as walking.
* **Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced):** Has been trained by Robin.

## Equipment

* **Waterbearers:** Aqualad possesses a pair of waterbearers which were given to him by Robin. These hilts allow Jackson to possess more control on his hydrokinetic abilities. He often uses the hilts to channel water into the shape of a weapon, creating something like a water sword or mace. He was also given a tank-backpack, for missions where water isn't available.
* **Jackson's Map Necklace:**
