Barnacle Boy
for Barnacle Boy in Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy
Suggested by mephilesthedark
Mermaid Man was “a young, handsome, muscular man” who fell asleep on the beach and was drawn into the ocean by a big wave and then sucked into a raging whirlpool. As he fell to the bottom of the ocean, he was rescued by mermaids who put a special starfish on his nose so he could breathe underwater. until one day he saw a young man drowning. He rescued him by using his powers to put barnacles in his lungs so he could breathe underwater – and thus Barnacle Boy was “born”. With both now stuck at the bottom of the ocean, they became partners. When alien invaders kidnap all superheroes, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy must team up with The International Justice League of Super Acquaintances and learn to work together if they want to save all heroes and the world.
