Jackson Hyde || Aqualad || 18 || Superhuman || Rank 1 || Nathaniel Potvin

✘ Aqualad is OPEN.

“Yes, I have gills, and no, you cannot touch them….”

BIOGRAPHY:

Jackson Hyde (Kaldur’ahm/Kaldur) has always had a pretty average life growing up, nothing of it was ever too special or out of the ordinary. He had two loving parents he’d always remembered being in his life, who had two everyday jobs to pay for their average sized house in New Mexico. If you were to ask anyone the only thing out of the ordinary was the boy’s severe fear of water, keeping a ten-foot distance between him and any body of water. When it rained his father would give him permission to take the day off school and do his work from the house, and when it came to the beach, he wouldn’t even think about going. He couldn’t quite remember where his fear came from, he couldn’t remember his father telling him from a young age not to go near water. Maybe if he did the boy would have questioned it more than he did.

It wasn’t until he was nineteen, one afternoon he was doing nothing more than walking home from school when the weather changed in a split second. Storm clouds began to roll over, gusts of wind picked up and what started slow and then hit all at once. It started to rain. He was in his front yard by this point, so close to the safety of living his life in ignorance. But it was too late, the moment it started to rain on him his eyes started to glow, streams of tattoos along his body began to light up. His hands grew webbed, and suddenly it all felt right. The rain at his fingertips he could control, he could move it and for a second he seemed hypnotized by it. By the thing he’d feared his whole life, and suddenly it felt like home.

But the moment was interrupted as his father rushed outside of the house, finding his son on the lawn in such awe of the one thing he’d tried to keep hidden from him his whole life. And in a split decision, he loaded him into the car and drove. The whole ride was silent, Jackson didn’t dare speak a word. Instead, he just stared out the window, watching the scenery pass until they finally pulled into the driveway of a seaside cottage. He remembered wondering how long his father had this place for, and why exactly he had it. 

Still silent the two of them piled out of the car, his father leading him inside before finally speaking. He started telling Jackson everything, from birth until now. He told the boy that they weren’t his real parents, that his real mother was killed when he was just a boy due to experiments he survived. That his father had been missing from that moment onwards, that he was brought to the surface world before he was old enough to speak from an underwater colony in Atlantis. There was more he was going to say, Jackson could see it, but before he could manage a man stormed into the cottage, almost killing his father before turning his sights onto Jackson.

That was when agents swarmed the cottage, he didn’t know how they’d found him so fast. But the men in suits offered him a safe place in a university for students just like him while he learned to control his abilities.

“This thing is my whole life. All righty, if I can’t stay in the game by playing by the rules… Then I’m sure as hell gonna burn the game board. In fact, you know what I think? I think I need a bigger venue.”

BIOGRAPHY:

Though born a simple human, Leslie Willis was always in her own way shocking. After graduating high school at the top of her class, Leslie attended a popular university in Metropolis, Kansas, though her only reason for going there was their radio opportunities. Soon her internship at the local college radio station turned into a full-time job where she had her own late show. Leslie used her time to address controversial topics no one else would touch on. No one was immune to the shock jock’s venomous words, not even Superman. She took cynical joy in bashing on the Man of Steel during her broadcasts.

One evening during a severe thunderstorm warning, Leslie was hosting a rock concert in honor of her first year anniversary working at the radio station. Ignoring her producer’s warnings about the coming storms, she demanded the show go on. As the show started, a huge bolt of lightning struck the stage and it caught fire, trapping the DJ. Another bolt was headed right for the stage, but she was saved by none other than Superman who pushed her to safety and took the shock. The lightning ran through one of the wires and electrocuted Willis.

When the girl woke, she saw that her skin had turned ghostly white and her hair turned blue. On the television in her hospital room, they spoke of the incident. One live reporter, a co-worker of hers, insinuated that Superman, fed up with her criticism against him, may have pushed her into harm’s way to punish her for her arrogance. She blamed Superman for her transformation caused from the freak accident, refusing to take the fact that she should have shut down the concert that caused her transformation in the first place. Angered by the thought, Leslie ripped the alarm clock from the wall. She was about to whip the clock at the television when it suddenly turned on. There was no power to it and no batteries in it. She discovered she could manipulate electricity, but she wasn’t the first to know this.

Soon after her waking up, two people representing a government agency were in her room. They detected strange electromagnetic frequencies that traced back to her and insisted she come with them to a place called Novus Academy where she could train and learn to become a hero. More vigilante justice was the last thing she wanted. That’s what got her into this mess in her mind so at first, she declined the offer but soon enough, their insisting sounded more like she had no other choice.

The people of Xebel were exiled from Atlantis many years ago and were trapped within the Triangle, the gateway to Xebel only opening for the unlucky sailors who happened to shipwreck there. The people of Xebel’s time there caused them to grow very cold towards Atlantis and all of its people.

Being that Mera was of a royal background, the decision was made for her that she’d also marry into royalty once she came of age. One day, Mera’s father received word of a boy who was of both land and Atlantean descent. The boy’s name was Arthur Curry, and he was the heir to the throne of Atlantis. Throughout her life, Mera was trained to master her powers, so that when the time came, she would be able to leave Xebel and kill the future king of Atlantis.

After years of searching, the people of Xebel had finally been able to locate Arthur. The time had finally come for the girl to fulfill her duties, and so she set out to murder Arthur Curry before he was given the chance to discover Atlantis and claim the throne as King. He was now a student, attending the Novus Academy, which was located in the state of Florida. Prior to her departure, she was promised to be the betrothed of a man named Nereus. Their wedding was to take place upon her return to Xebel.

In and out of juvenile homes throughout his childhood, Lucas dreamed of becoming a major New York racketeer until he finally realized how his actions were hurting his family. He then sought to better himself as he got older, and find legitimate employment. Meanwhile, Stryker rose through the ranks of crime, but the two men remained friends. When Stryker’s activities angered an organized crime group referred to simply as The Syndicate, he was badly beaten in a mob hit, saved only by Lucas’s intervention. When Stryker’s girlfriend, broke up with him in distress of his violent work, she sought solace from Lucas. Convinced that Lucas was responsible for the breakup, Stryker planted in Lucas’ apartment and tipped off the police. Lucas was then arrested and sent to prison; contact with his family was sparse due to the resentment of his brother who intercepted Lucas’s letters to their father James, still bitter at his brother’s previous dealings. In prison, Lucas was consumed by rage over Stryker’s betrayal and his brother’s spite, engaging in frequent brawls and escape attempts. After one such attempt, research scientist Dr. Noah Burstein recruited Lucas as a volunteer for experimental cell regeneration based on a variant of the Super-Soldier process he had been perfecting. During his treatment, Burstein miscalculated. Lucas’s treatment was accelerated past its intent, inducing body-wide enhancement that gave him superhuman strength and durability. Shortly after, Lucas used his newfound abilities to escape prison and not long after, he witnessed an armed bank robbery. Shortly after, Lucas quickly intervened, incapacitating the criminals.  Several agents, who had been tailing him since leaving the prison, found themselves impressed with his heroics, and as opposed to arresting him, offered him a second chance at Novus Academy. Agreeing to their terms, Lucas left with him, under the stipulation he can take on a new alias, going by Luke Cage.

BIOGRAPHY:

At a young age, Stephen Strange had dreams of becoming a doctor. The eldest child of three, Strange was born while his parents Eugene and Beverly Strange were on vacation in Philadelphia. At the age of eleven he aided his younger sister Donna when she was injured, which proved to be a formative experience for him, and he was inspired to attend med school after high school. Ironically, it was his inability to later save her from drowning when he was nineteen and on leave from college that undermined his belief in life’s meaning and the value of idealism. Nevertheless, he rapidly finished med school at a young age and became a successful neurosurgeon.

Strange displayed phenomenal talent in his chosen field, and quickly attained wealth and notoriety. The more successful he became, the more arrogant he grew. So distant and self-absorbed did he become that he refused to visit his father on his deathbed. His enraged younger brother Victor Strange berated him for this, and then was killed as he ran into traffic.

A car accident that damaged the nerves in his hands changed everything for Stephen Strange. He was no longer able to be a surgeon, yet he refused to become an assistant or consultant, instead squandering his money traveling the world and searching for a cure. One day he heard a rumor of a mystical personage known as the Ancient One in Tibet. Marshaling the last of his inner and outer resources, Strange diligently searched until the fortress of the Ancient One was revealed to him. Though initially outraged that the aged mystic refused to cure his hands, Strange’s anger was quickly replaced by amazement when the reality of magical forces was demonstrated before his eyes as he witnessed an attack on the Ancient One.

Novus got a hold of Strange, telling him that they would try their best to teach him how to use his powers of Sorcery and maybe even try and find a cure for his nerve damage.

BIOGRAPHY:

Robert Bruce Banner was born to atomic scientist Dr. Brian Banner and his wife, Rebecca. Although deeply loved by his mother, Bruce’s father who was mentally unstable harbored a deep jealousy and hatred for him. Brian was convinced that his work in atomic science had altered his genetic structure and because of this he also feared that Bruce would grow up a genetic freak, when actually, Bruce was just a very gifted and intelligent child. While growing up Bruce was subjected to Brian’s drunken rages and abuse, as was his mother. Tragically, Rebecca was killed by Brian when she attempted to take young Bruce and leave him. His mother’s murder and his father’s arrest left Bruce in the care of his aunt, Mrs. Drake, and he grew up a social outcast due to the trauma of being abused by his father as well as witnessing his mother’s abuse and murder at the hands of his father.

After graduating high school, Bruce began studying nuclear physics at Desert State University and later at the California Institute of Technology. He gained employment with the military at Desert Base, New Mexico under the command of General Ross, who was overseeing the test of Banner’s newly-created Gamma Bomb. On the day of the bomb’s scheduled detonation Banner saw someone in the testing area. Hoping to rescue this person, Banner went into the dangerous area where he encountered the person he’d seen; a young teenager named Rick Jones, who had sneaked onto the test site on a dare. Banner managed to push Jones to safety. However, rather than delay the countdown and halt the detonation as instructed, Banner’s assistant allowed the countdown and the subsequent detonation to occur. This resulted in Banner being caught in the Gamma Bomb explosion and thus exposed to an incredibly massive amount of gamma radiation. Banner was later picked up by the base’s military personnel and taken back to Desert Base where they were placed in isolation and observation due to their exposure to gamma radiation. They were still in isolation at sundown when Banner transformed into a green, monstrous, and lumbering brute for the first time. This brute was quickly dubbed “the Hulk” by military personnel.

Immediately following his change, the military was pulled from the fight and a government agency called S.H.I.E.L.D. took over to defuse it. The monster soon turned back into the scared young man and he was taken away by the men in the suits. Instead of locking him up and throwing away the key, they offered to place him in a school that was designed for students like him. A place where he could learn to control and possibly harness the power of the Hulk. He accepted.

His first opponents included the Red Skull himself and Nazi attempts to duplicate Erskine’s serum with their own super soldiers. During a mission to the African nation of Wakanda, “Cap” befriended the nation’s ruler T’Chaka and obtained a sample of the rare metal Vibranium. Subsequent experiments with this metal produced a uniquely indestructible Vibranium-steel alloy disc, which proved impossible to duplicate. The disc was given to Cap as his new shield.

In the closing days of World War II in early 1945, Cap broke through Nazi troops for his final wartime confrontation with the Red Skull, who was seemingly slain by bombing debris (but lived on in suspended animation). Days later, Cap and Bucky arrived in England too late to prevent brilliant Nazi scientist Baron Zemo from obtaining and launching an experimental drone plane armed explosive device on it. Rogers and Barnes reached the plane, but when Bucky tried to defuse the bomb, it exploded in mid-air. Rogers was hurled into the freezing waters of the North Atlantic. The US government presumed both were dead. However, Bucky was secretly retrieved by Soviet operatives, while Cap was recovered by Nazi agent Lyle Dekker, who hoped to exchange bodies with him. Cap escaped Dekker’s base by air, but was shot down and fell back into the ocean. Due to the Super-Soldier serum Captain America survived, entering a state of suspended animation and eventually freezing in solid ice.
