_________________________________________________________________
Character Bio - Lagoon Boy is an amphibious boy. He is small in stature, but stronger, quicker and more durable than an ordinary human. His body is covered in green scales and fins and he has sharp claws and teeth. When excited, Lagoon Boy also has the ability to blow up like a puffer fish, which makes him appear to be much larger and more intimidating, and develop quills that can cause great pain to other opponents who cross his path.

Lagoon Boy does not stop his movement when entering water spaces. Add 1 die to Lagoon Boy's attack and defense while he is on a water space.

I like the last one best.

[Hahma]

I don't anything about this guy, but seems like a nice low cost hero that will be extra useful on water maps, tagging along with Aqualad.

Intimidation I take it is from him blowing up like a puffer fish. Would that really intimidate a lot of characters though? Is it going to intimidate guys like Hulk or Darkseid? Like I said, I know nothing about him, so for all I know he has scared the snot out of Sinestro and Lobo on numerous occasions.

[quozl]

It probably wouldn't intimidate most anybody if they knew it was going to happen. Mostly, it takes them by surprise, scares them a little bit (like what's happening? Is he growing into a giant monster?) and then the surprise wears off and they attack him.

I wanted to keep a generic power name though so it can be re-used (and now that I look at it again, I should add the the number to it).

Not hugely in love with the sculpt (since it only sorta looks like Lagoon Boy and as far as I know he doesn't generally use a spear), but the rest is solid.

Do we have a better species? He's not from Atlantis, but would Atlantean work as a general "sea-person" term?

[quozl]

Atlantean could work as he's a citizen of Atlantis but not a native. However, I don't want it to mess with any Atlantean synergy.

Also, there's this:

[Lord Pyre]

We could easily make it so he could only intimidate figures without SuperStrength, so he doesn't scare Thanos.

Looks pretty cool, otherwise. Any chance of a Lagoon Boy mini in an upcoming HC release, Johnny?

Always possible, but there's no real hint toward a theme that would include him... no Titans or Young Justice expected within the next year or so.

[IAmBatman]

Should we break off his spear and take pictures and call it a modified figure?

15 should be added to Intimidation for sure. I could go either way on the SS thing.

Psyched to see someone else grabbing a Titan! Just for the sake of that (and for having the year wrapped up) I've swapped this guy into December's wave in place of Arsenal!

If we have Simian for our Gorilla City Soldiers, Amphibian makes sense to me here. With no origin story for the guy in the comics, we can't guess Metahuman or anything like that, so gotta go with that snippet from the comics (nice find, btw!).

[johnny139]

Simian is a bit more specific than Amphibian, though. It's more akin to calling Captain America "Mammal."

It's not a big deal, I suppose, as both are sort of inaccurate.

[IAmBatman]

If I thought we had something more specific we were sure of, I'd support it.
