    Black Manta

    The boy who would become Black Manta was an autistic youth who grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, and loved to play by the sea. As a youth he was kidnapped, raped, and forced to work on a ship for an unspecified amount of time. At one point he apparently saw Aquaman with his dolphin friends and tried to signal him for help but was not seen. Finally, he was forced to defend himself, killing one of his tormentors on the ship with a knife. Hating the emotionless sea (and Aquaman, whom he saw as its representative)

    • Leitner wetsuit

    "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"

    In the Southeast Pacific, lies the sunken city of R'Leyh. There lies C'thulhu waits to return to our world with the other Great Old Ones. A hideous creature of enormous size and alien power, it waits for it's time to return patiently. For it has all the time in the world while it waits for the stars.

      Nice and clean. One of my favorite characters. Thanks for sharing.

              Great one, Paul. That fabric really works for the "wet look".

                          Nice custom.
                          I didn't know the guy was raped??!!?? That is hardcore!!! Manta has always been one of my favorite villains (Probably growing up in the Challenge of the Super Friends era).
                          I didn't like how the JLU combined his character with another guy and called him Devil Ray or something like that on that cartoon. I think they should have went with Black Manta, nothing wrong with it.
                          You keep impressing me everytime I sign in here. Keep up the good work!! I did the same thing with the "wet suit" for my Black Manta except I went pitch black.
