So we have our super-idealistic ultra powerful-type, our mythical warrior-person, our speedster/teleporter. What’s left for a classic superhero team? How about a telepathic alien or an ocean-dweller? How about both?!
CETACEA
Bio: CETACEA is of an ancient race of humanoid aliens, from a massive planet, completely covered in water. She has revealed little of it’s culture or history to her friends, nor what her place was within that society or if all her species possesses the gifts that she does. She was sent hurtling to the Earth in a stasis pod, adrift for thousands of years. She crash landed on Earth, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, her stasis pod automatically deconstructing itself on the molecular level (a failsafe, she guessed, to keep advanced technology from falling into the hands of underdeveloped civilizations.) She remained hidden for centuries, glimpsed by maritime travelers and inspiring legends of women in the water. In the 21st Century, the superheroine Pinnacle encountered her while saving the crew of a collapsing oil platform. Apparently Cetacea had been saving people in these kinds of situations for centuries, always erasing their memories of the event to preserve her anonymity. Pinnacle kept Cetacea’s secret for a few years, but upon deciding to form her team, she knew Cetacea’s talents would prove invaluable…
Abilities: Much of Cetacea’s abilities come from her alien physiology. She can breathe both air and water, but her body more efficiently metabolizes oxygen from the latter. Her body is incredibly durable, able to withstand the crushing pressures of the ocean, and her strength and stamina are proportionately enhanced. She has razor sharp claws on her feet and hands that are incredibly dense and can rend through rock and metal with ease. Her eyesight is enhanced to the point where she can see clearly with very little light and at many fathoms below sea-level. The appendages growing out of her head have a sensory function, and can detect electrical activity (such as in the nervous systems of living organisms) and motion in her surrounding environment.
Cetacea is also a vastly powerful telepath. She can the read thoughts and memories of others. Because she cannot physically vocalize human language, she projects her voice into the minds of others as a form of communication. Offensively she can release devastating blasts of psionic energy or impose her will over the minds of her opponents. In times of severe stress Cetacea has been able to release telekinetic force on her environment, but this ability is wildly uncontrolled so she does not tend to use this ability unless given absolutely no other option.
