Personal InformationReal Name: Joshua Edwards
Hero Alias: Deluge
Aliases: Jack Frost, Homo Aquam, Aqua-homo, Hydro-Homo,
Age: 27
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 18th August
Relatives: Professor Neil David Edwards (Father), Lady Jane Elizabeth Tipping (Mother)
Appearance:
Josh stands at 6’2” with short brunette hair and neatly trimmed stubble. He always dresses in designer clothes.
Josh (now Deluge) has a chip on his shoulder from a bullied childhood due to his homosexuality as well as a constant self-imposed pressure to better himself to earn approval from his distant mother. Sure that he was the main cause of his parents’ divorce he has buried it deep within himself occasionally calling him to question his own abilities, driving him to become even more skilled and famous in a vicious circle of self-deprecation and attempted improvement. He is however a very loyal friend and a trusted member of the team.
From an early age Josh knew he was gay and despite the bullying he encountered at school he was at peace with himself and always very calm. Encouraged to be open by his progressive and intelligent father but spurned into secrecy by his socialite mother his mature openness about his sexuality was a catalyst for divorce at an early age. This was the first ripple in his calm demeanour. Choosing to live with his father post separation he threw himself into his swimming and assisting with his father’s oceanographic and marine biological research.
After graduating with a Masters in Oceanography and a member of the British National swim team, Josh decided that it was time to try and reconcile with his mother who subsequently revealed to him the real reason for her divorce from his father. The Professor had actually been a government scientist attempting genetic manipulation to create individuals capable of surviving in more extreme environments than the average human. Whilst his mother merely assumed her husband was doing in vitro fertilisation as they’d had trouble conceiving, Josh was the result of one such experimentation. He was a new species. A lack of DNA differences led his father to become obsessed with his work further to identify what had gone wrong.
With her husband’s increasingly erratic and reclusive nature combined with the realisation of what he’d done (Joshua becoming county swimmer aged only 9 and a childhood claiming he could talk to their tropical fish) she filed for divorce. When she revealed this to her son now aged 22 he confronted his father demanding the truth. As it was given to him he called bullshit and left the family home in tears. Shocked by his father’s actions and spurned by his mother’s new family he landed in a downward spiral of depression.
2 months later his powers unlocked themselves during a suicide attempt. He didn’t drown. His lungs filtered oxygen from the dark water that now filled his lungs. Shocked at the reality of his self and his father’s accomplishment he retreated to the Pacific Islands using his recently deceased Grandmother’s inheritance and developed his power. He gradually became a local legend amongst the indigenous tribes for combatting pollution and piracy. But with increasing globalisation he didn’t go unnoticed for long. After 2 years training himself he was picked up by the S.U.P.E.D. and has been part of the team for 3 years revelling in fame and fortune.
Combat Information
Deluge has an all in one body suit that monitors all his vitals and provides him with database access on a screen visor if needed. The cone shaped fin on his head is for streamlined swimming and also a store of pure water in case there is no nearby source for him to fight with although he prefers a defensive and tactical approach.
Hydrokinesis (Water Manipulation): He has the ability to shape and manipulate water in liquid states, including most other liquids with a 50% or above water content.
Cold Manipulation: He can create, shape and manipulate cold by reducing the kinetic energy of atoms and thus making things colder, ranging from subjective feeling of cool to absolute zero.
Ice Manipulation: By combining his hydrokinesis and cold manipulation Deluge can create, shape and manipulate ice, water frozen into a solid state and appears naturally in forms of snow, hail, icicles, ice spikes and candles, glaciers, pack ice, frost, and polar ice caps, and cold by reducing the kinetic energy of atoms and thus making things colder, for various effects and combinations.
Aquatic Adaptation: He is able to survive and adapt to underwater environments, being able to breathe water in lieu of, or along with, a gaseous breathing medium, to swim well and to endure high water pressure and extreme water temperatures. He is able to use their senses to perceive normally regardless of the distortion/pressure of the water, possibly including ignoring various impurities that would otherwise reduce the visibility. Summarised as: Aquatic Respiration, Cold Immunity, Enhanced Lung Capacity, Enhanced Senses modified to work in water, Pressure Resistance and Speed Swimming.
Cold Immunity: His body is immune to extreme cold, making Deluge immune to hypothermia and freezing.
Water Empowerment: Deluge becomes stronger, faster, more durable, etc. when in or beside a large body of water and enhancing his existing powers.
Aquatic Life Manipulation: Deluge can control marine life from creatures that dwell in the shallow water to the abyss.
Cannot create water - limited to manipulating only from already existing sources.
Distance and the amount of water depends on Deluge’s current strength and emotional state as controlling and manipulating great bodies of water (lakes, ponds, seas, oceans) is exhausting.
Susceptible to Electricity Manipulation.
Can be opposed by fire, magma and extreme heat. Removing water results in no material with which to manipulate or freeze.
Cannot reverse effects of cooling.
May not be effective against Oil Manipulation since oil is hydrophobic, meaning repelled from water – yet to be tested. Any oil villains out there want to try it?
He is more vulnerable to dehydration and hot or dry areas do weaken him.
Other Information- Constantly teasing Dan with outrageous flirting. I mean as elemental opposites they were meant to be together right?!
- Is really good friends with Lilly.
- He donates a fortune to equality organisations around the globe and has become a key global LGBT figure.
