Batman (The Drowned)

## Background

The Batman of Earth -11, **Bryce Wayne** disillusioned with metahumans after the death of her lover, Sylvester Kyle, systematically wiping them out one after the other until Aquawoman attempted to bring peace between the surface and undersea worlds. Refusing to believe such a prospect, Bryce ignited war between the factions, killing Aquawoman and seizing the Queen of Atlantis' trident for her own.

This only led to a cataclysmic event that would sink the world beneath the waves, but not before Bryce experimented on herself to gain all of the abilities of an Atlantean and converting others to be just like her. Bryce and her new "Dead Waters" then laid waste to Atlantis. Now known as **The Drowned**, she agrees to follow Barbatos to preserve her world, making an enemy of the **Aquaman** of Earth-0.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Surgical Implants:** Bryce performed several surgeries on herself to improve her fighting against Atlantis. Using the maligned DNA of mutated sea life, she was able to give herself pseudo water breather traits akin to Atlanteans.
	+ **Amphibian:** The Drowned, thanks to her eugenic modifications, can breathe and move underwater with the utmost ease as well as she can walk about on land. She can be immersed indefinitely in water without suffering any ill effects, and without the need of oceanic traversal gear or breathing apparatus.
	+ **Hydrokinesis:** She can manipulate vast if not limitless quantities of water and was able to drown her entire planet. Her mastery is so potent that it allows her to negate the control of other hydrokinetics. Due to her nature as a resident of the Dark Multiverse, her aquakinetic abilities take on a blackened hue with more corrupting properties to it.
		- **Summoning:** Using her water as a conduit, Bryce can summon her Dead Water army to herself at will. The Dead Water are voracious minions who heed her beck and call to swarm over and overwhelm her enemies.
		- **Infection:** Through her use of the Dead Water, Bryce is able to infect water around her, making others unable to control it, and making the water "hers". She can also convert others to her will by transforming them into insidious Dead Water sea creatures that do her bidding.
			* **Metamorphosis:** The Drowned can control and alter the physical forms of the Dead Water sea creatures under her thrall into any shape she desires, while they still retain their unique personal capabilities to aid her in battle.
				+ **Power Distribution:** Bryce can even give whole new powers to those whom she changes in order to increase their usefulness and lethal efficacy.
	+ **Accelerated Healing:** One of the many abilities she granted herself through auto-surgical processes.
	+ **Superhuman Durability:** The Drowned is tougher and more resilient than a typical human being, able to survive the crushing depths of deep sea traversal as well as trade blows with super Atlanteans with little to no physical injury.
	+ **Superhuman Speed:** She is a fast mover be it in the water or on solid ground, easily able to outpace Aquaman during mortal combat.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina:** She has augmented amounts of stamina, able to swim for miles at a time reaching end to end of her sunken city, having swam from its fringes all the way to where the Bat-signal was located.
	+ **Superhuman Strength:** The Drowned is incredibly strong, able to overpower Aquaman with just brute strength, as well as being able to batter the promethium clad cybernetic exo-mantel of Cyborg with nothing but her fists.
	+ **Enhanced Senses:** She can see, hear and speak perfectly while submerged underwater. She was able to perfectly visualize the lit Bat-signal on her earth without difficulty.
* **Gadgetry**
* **Genius Level Intellect**
* **Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced)**
* **Leadership**
* **Piracy**
* **Science**
	+ **Chemistry**
	+ **Mechanical Engineering:** Bryce is able to use a variety of technologies, such as the gear she uses to augment her physiology and her submarine, which are likely forged by she herself.
	+ **Marine Biology:** Bryce is able to engineer the Dead Water army herself.
	+ **Genetics:** Bryce is able to splice aquatic DNA into her own to give her powers.
* **Swimming:** Bryce is capable enough a swimmer to face down and kill Aquawoman.
* **Weaponry:** The Drowned is highly efficient with a trident.

## Equipment

* **Bat-Sub**
* **Trident:** A trident taken as a trophy from Aquawoman, it can boost the Drowned's hydrokinetic power.

## Weaknesses

* **Monstrous Appearance:** Because of her bodily alterations, Bryce no longer has a remotely human appearance - suffering from pale skin, blackened lips and teeth, coupled with dried out, cracked lower facial features akin to severe desiccation.
* **Vulnerability to Light Sensitivity:** Being down in the sunken deeps of her home city for so long, The Drowned has an acute reaction to bright light.
* **Missing Eye:** Because of her bodily alterations, Bryce no longer has her left eye, using a cybernetic visor as a replacement.
