History: (Sea Devils #7) - The aliens of the Water Planet captured an Earth spacecraft headed towards Venus, and kidnapped the astronaut aboard. They sent one of their number to return to Earth on the spacecraft to see if the planet was worth colonizing. The Sea Devils investigated the rocketship after it crashed into the sea, and found the alien aboard, whom they dubbed the Human Tidal Wave. The Tidal Wave fought them to test their abilities, and decided Earth would fall before his people and humanity could serve as amusements in their aquariums. He revealed his people’s plan, but couldn’t let the Devils live after what he told them, so he tried to drown them, but they made their way back to their ship the Sea Witch. The Tidal Wave destroyed the Sea Witch, and Sea Devils leader Dane warned his team that the Tidal Wave was a telepath, and they had to show teamwork and make plans to defeat him without thinking. Dane assured them they could trust him implicitly, and commanded they follow his every lead, and after several near-evasions of the alien they lured it near a volcano, where the intense heat turned it to steam.
