Aqualad (Young Justice)

Aqualad's origin is unknown, except that his powers are somehow due to a mixture of Atlantean science and sorcery. He serves as Aquaman's teen sidekick, and tries to join the Justice League, but wound up forming his own team when they refused to give him a full membership.

• Electricity Generation: He has the power to generate electricity from the eel tattoos on his arms, which he can channel through water or use as a direct offense against opponents.
• Superhuman Strength: As an Atlantean, he possesses above average superhuman strength, as he was able to punch through solid concrete.
• Hydrokinesis: Aqualad is able to manipulate water to serve any number of uses i.e. water blasts, whips, waves, shields, or water spouts to lift him into the air. He can manipulate water from a nearby source, like fire hydrants, lakes, etc or his waterpack. His water blasts are capable at slicing through metal and other materials.
• Enhanced Durability: Most likely due to his Atlantean blood, he is able to sustain multiple blows from both Superboy and Blockbuster without tiring. This also allows him to withstand high water pressure.
• Hard-Water Constructs: Aqualad has the unique ability to solidify water into a myriad of different weapons for physical attacks. So far he has created swords, maces, sledgehammers, and a small shield. This ability, like his hydrokinesis and electricity generation is powered by his eel tattoos.
• Superspeed Swimming: Aqualad's webbed hands and feet give him above average swimming speeds.
• Underwater Breathing: Aqualad has the ability to breathe in water through the gill slits found on either side of his neck.

None

• Waterpack: A black metallic backpack that holds an unspecified amount of water that Aqualad can use. It also holds his Water-Bearers. • Water-Bearers: Twin hilts that can hold onto water which Aqualad then uses to create his hard-water weapons. They are also used as a type of water gun to shoot water from his waterpack and can be used to help manipulate sources of water.

This version of Aqualad was specifically created for this series, with his comic counterpart being made after this character was created but before the show actually aired. Aqualad's comic book counterpart, Jackson Hyde, made his debut in Geoff Johns' series Brightest Day. .
