History
Lagoon Boy met his two best friends, Blubber and Sheeva, at King
Orin's birthday party. All three were fascinated by the surface so they soon
formed the Landlovers. Their first skirmish was to New York and it was both
funny and disastrous. They frightened the New Yorkers and Blubber
was wounded. Fortunately, Aquaman and Tempest came to their rescue. Lagoon
Boy made a second, solo trip to Gotham City during its No Man's Land period
and met Robin, Superboy, and Impulse. They had to stop Kobra Prime from
enacting revenge on Gotham and with Blubber's help, who showed up just in time,
they did.
Lagoon Boy had been hanging around Atlantis since. Blubber, Sheeva, and
him built a TV and a computer that work under water. Lagoon Boy was also the
ringbearer at Tempest and Dolphin's wedding.
While Young Justice was taking a well deserved vacation, Lagoon Boy,
Changeling, Captain Marvel Jr., Batgirl, and Flamebird stood in as the new YJ.
Their one and only battle was with Klarion and L'il Lobo.
In early 1999, Robin III (Tim Drake) foresaw a need for back-up heroes on
a mission his team Young Justice were embarking upon, and approached Lagoon Boy about joining the team as a reserve member.
He spent many more years helping Young Justice with the occasional mission, always happy to lend a hand. In 2008 he and Sheeva wed, and children were soon to follow.
Lagoon Man led a relatively quiet life from then, on until the death of his liege Aquaman in 2019. Never a fan of Koryak, and seeing a great opportunity for him and his family (those he hadn't sent to the Knight Academy), Lagoon Man approached Superman about forming a team of heroes again. Little did he know Kon was already thinking along those lines himself, and invited Lagoon Man to come and be with him on the new JLA.
Powers and Abilities
Can suck in water and expand himself, breath above and under water, possesses super-strength and semi-invulnerability. The onset of adolescence brought about further abilities in Lagoon Man; his skin is now much like a chameleon's, allowing him to blend in with his surroundings; additionally, when he now "puffs up" his body absorbs ambient moisture, "puffing-down" expels said moisture in an explosive gush of water from his mouth (He can also convert this water into ink before expelling it).
Lagoon Man is unnaturally capable at learning, abosrbing any and all information around him.
