The HydroVerse

The HydroVerse is a collaborative series of comics created by DeviantArt user theryanjake11, featuring his own characters including Hydro-Girl while also featuring characters created by his friends too.

The first official comic in the HydroVerse was released in 2017 and was a debut for the character of Hydro-Girl.

Two other comics released prior, Martha/Liza and Insect-Woman both featuring characters created by theryanjake11's friends, were added into the HydroVerse canon not long after and went on to have their own series of comics within the universe.

## Development

HydroVerse creator theryanjake11 had wanted to create his own character on Deviant Art as numerous other users that shared similar interests had various interesting characters of their own, he mentioned that he does not know why he chose to go with a character who had "water powers".

The character of Hydro-Girl was developed after theryanjake11 had adapted two of his friends' characters, Liza and Insect-Woman, into their own comics and originally depicted her as an anti-hero before she eventually became an actual hero.

The idea of the HydroVerse stemmed from featuring said characters such as Liza and Insect-Woman into the same universe alongside Hydro-Girl, and it grew from there to feature even more characters both from other users and theryanjake11 himself.
