Arthur King was raised by the world’s greatest marine biologists. Henry King and his wife were trained in everything ocean. They taught Arthur everything they knew. Their hope was to clean the ocean so that one day sea life and humans can live in harmony. If they could build a working, thriving, real life Alantis, that would be their greatest dream.

Mrs. King was working on a way for humans and sea life to communicate with each other. She had great success with dolphins and whales. She wanted them to translate what they were saying to the other life in the sea, but the dolphins had the problem of eating the fish they were trying to talk to. Also, the sharks just didn’t like them too much.

Mr. King was working on a way to teleport themselves to his secret underwater lab. Secret being the key word. It was built without an actual door or gate so that anyone who happened to come across it would find that there was no way in.

When Arthur was only 14 years old, both his parents were killed in a swordfish accident. The 2 fish were just playing. They didn’t really want to stab anyone. The Kings just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Arthur promised to continue his parent’s work. He took his pet fish and his mother’s communication equipment and teleported himself to the lab. At least he thought he did.

He found himself in the water but breathing. No sign of the fish. Little did he realize that the teleporter was designed to take one living thing at a time. Now his DNA was merged with the fish. He grew to be a protector of sea life. Ocean Man, an Average Ordinary Everyday Superhero.
