Heroes: Riptide (Marina Kelly)
Marina was a marine biologist who operated out of the Bahamas, recording the habits of sea flora and fauna for scientific study. She has a huge love of the sea, often spending the majority of her time free-diving in the bay and interacting with the underwater creatures she loved so much. She even has a pet dolphin she named "Svo", an abbreviation of "svobodného ducha", which means Free Spirit in Czech. During a scuba diving tour she was leading, a ship containing a bootleg version of the Super Serum hit a rock, tearing a hole in it's side and causing the serum to spill out into the surrounding waters. The tour group and everyone else in the bay was violently mutated by the serum, causing them all to develop superpowers and drown. She was the only one to survive, as she developed the ability to turn her entire body into a being composed entirely of water. Horrified by what she'd become, she swam back to her lab and locked herself inside of her huge office aquarium. Shen then spent the next 2 weeks locked in her office, trying to figure out how to control her new abilities. During her time, she learned that her entire body is essentially malleable, and that she can bend her body any way she pleases. She also had the ability to control water, breathe underwater, turn essentially intangible, shape-shift into other people, and morph her entire body into a puddle, allowing her the ability to slip through crevasses. After finally getting control over her abilities, she left her office and stepped back out into the world. On her first day out, she headed back to her favorite beach, just in time to see a yacht crash into the pier and start to sink. She quickly leapt into action and saved everyone on the boat. Everyone was in awe of the "Aqua-Lady", as they called her. She was reported in the paper, with some people claiming that she was a "Goddess Of The Sea". While certainly not seeing herself as a "Goddess", she was inspired by superheroes like Bonfire and Ryuko to become her own hero. She then fashioned her own costume out of a wetsuit she owned, and made her official debut to the public a week later. While finally meeting up with friends at the Marathon Mall, the place was accosted by a team of robbers who were trying to rob the jewelry store. Seeing a golden opportunity, she leapt into action and stopped the robbers. She then introduced herself to the public as "Riptide". A year later, P.E.A.C.E. caught wind of a new superhero operating out of the Bahamas, and they sent Ultra-Violet and Black Streak to investigate and offer her a spot on the team. They happened to do it at the exact same time Hazmax & Toxzita moved their operation to the Bahamas, who were planning on infecting the water with a toxin that would turn anyone who ingested it into a toxic mutant. The three heroes then teamed up and combined their abilities to stop them and cure all of the citizens of Nassau. After this, she accepted their offer, and joined the team as their resident environmentalist hero. She now spends her time helping out along the coastline between the USA & the Bahamas, stopping smuggling operations, helping out during shipwrecks and oceanic archeology assignments.
The English
Streetlights changing
Shooting me into the past
Watching small raindrops collect
While I cannot collect my thoughts
Making it look like the glass is chipping
Until the windshield glasses over in a mosaic
Feeling the cold slipping in but I don’t mind
Feeling a shiver creep up my back
Reminding me of you
I take a breath
And I grab my bag and pretend that I'm putting on my armor
Suiting up
To go riding on a drunken horse, slipping on mud
While holding my breath underwater
And the English have longbows
It’s raining arrows that point me in the wrong direction
This is night
This is what I wanted
Now that I have it
I miss the struggle
An underwater graveyard in Llyn Celyn, Wales. The village it was located in was flooded in the 60’s to supply water to Liverpool.
