But yes, underwater zones would be a collasal waste of time in my opinion.

However, I more than understand your stance. At the same time, is there any possibility of maps with windows/portholes that make the rooms look like they are underwater without having to put up with the shenanigans of coding attacks for a submerged area?

ACK! I'm confused! We should already have most of the animations needed for such things : we already have a swimming animation, it would need to be adjusted for vertical movement though. We also have fly animations which would work just fine for fighting underwater.|

So other than making water effects, what do we need ?

And since I haven't seen anybody mention it (though I might have missed it), I kinda liked the underwater areas back when I played EQ2.
P.S. Be sensitive. Aquaman is conceptually challenged.

Disclaimer: bad text is my fault, tried to retext the dialog to appear larger than it originally was but that is the exact line he said.
Awwww, Aquaman's got "Little Man" Syndrome. He thinks he's one of the big dogs, it's so cute! There there, Fishpants, I'm sure your cephalopod psychiatrist wants to hear aaaall about it...
P.S. It looks like he's trying to make Supes smell his blue finger...

The problem with Aquaman is that unless you are talking about the Justice League Unlimited version (who could control water telekinetically) he's pretty much useless on the 99.9% of superhero jobs that occur on dry land and do not involve fish. He's actually pretty cool in comics based on just him, since he's actually underwater in Atlantis where his powers work. But add him to a normal (land-based) team and he becomes the guy who mans the communications relay and joins in on the once in a blue moon underwater mission.

- Undersea adaptation,
- telepathy,
- healing factor,
- enhanced senses,
- Super strength,
- durability and stamina,
- Extra resistance to heat/energy based attacks,
- Left hand is made of water and possesses mystical properties
The only thing I am not sure is how strong is he supposed to be (sans the mystical hand.)
Quote:
He actually has hardcore super strength though not to the same degree as Superman. On that note, he's more willing to "fight dirty" than most superheroes. I think it is canon that he's lifted an ocean liner (on land).

Interesting... they've really beefed Aquaman up in recent years. Back when I read more comics he pretty much had fish telepathy, the ability to swim at high speeds, moderate super strength, and enhanced toughness, speed and agility. He was certainly more powerful than a normal human on land, but not really in the same league as (for example) the Sub Mariner. A definite step up from the old Superfriends cartoon version, but still strictly a B-lister (especially in the Justice League).
If he's got full-blown telepathy, enhanced healing, and full blown super strength now then I can see him actually being a lot more useful on land. But what's up with the water hand? Last I remember he had a sort of harpoon style hook thing...

Personally, I like the little write-up that Heroclix put on their space map. Everyone is assumed to have oxygen suits and maneuver packs for this map. That's paraphrasing, but the intent is, it doesn't matter how the characters acquired the means to be in the environment, THAT's where the battle is.
