Re: Common superhero types you've never seen in play
One of my longer-running PC's was Merlord. A scaled amphibious humanoid, real name Ichthar of Ichthion.
He had high-speed Swimming, Aquabatics, Superleap (Only from water), a trident which could be used with the pointy-end or could shoot PD water Energy Blasts, greater Strength on land than in the sea, and an amulet that let him Telepath with and Mind Control aquatic creatures.
