The Book of Black Manta

[Spidey'tilIDie]

Yea The only thing I find is David Hyde.

[Ronin]

Most versions seem to have last name unknown. We could go Bullseye precedent and call him "David ???" or Angel precedent and call him just "David". I have a slight preference for the latter, but it's probably worth pinging @A3n to see what he thinks. (Both on the secret identity and where the design landed in general - we just messed with the points, really, so I imagine he's on board)

yea

[Tornado]

Yea

I would like some kind of ruling on using ??? in a Secret Identity.

[johnny139]

Research suggests that "Hyde" is inferred erroneously from Jackson Hyde (his son). But that name comes from his foster parents pre-New 52 and from his mother in Rebirth, not from Manta.

We've moved away from including ??? on non-Joker designs and I'd like to stick with that. David should be enough as there are other Mantas, canonically (Kaldur in Young Justice being one, theoretically).

Yea

[A3n]

Yeah I'd prefer to stick with just David if the "?" aren't being done anymore.

Wording looks good to me.

Prowler's Protectile Arsenal lists the 'add to range' and 'add to attack' options in the opposite order, but I like this order better (range before attack), and we'll have to update Prowler's version to be Projectile Arsenal 2 anyway, so we should be cool here.

All the SP needs is the question mark trimmed from the secret ID, and the points updated to 230.

I propose a vote to move Black Manta to On Deck.
