So been watching the boys and there has been a thing I keep telling my wife about the character she loathes the most. The deep. My feeling is he has the best powers to have in that super hero dystopia. Now im taking from context clues that his powers equate pretty much to aquaman. On land some super strength and resistance. Sorta the “standard level” but can telpathically talk with sea life, super swim speed, can breathe underwater and presumably handle any depth (I think he said he went to the mariana trench), etc. This is the ideal thing to go do your own thing and maybe have some vaught tie ins for cash while keeping arms length distance. Basically do some high profile sea rescues and maybe a business protecting companies vessels. Vaught movies will likely every so often have a water thing and you get a cameo or tie in for some bucks. Stay away from the seven directly and homelander. Have a bunch of sea side realestate across the globe along with secret places in areas no normal person can get to. I mean the easy answer to have homelanders powers but that means having a target on your back. Even if you where not a nutter you gonna be the thing that like every country or such is gonna wann control. Thinking through the other powers I just don’t see any that give the freedom of being able to go anywhere in the ocean would along with the sea life telepathic communication and control as a bonus.

    This is a good point. One of the complications of the superpowers is they seem to come up at various ages but an ideal thing would be to like get a math degree with a strong liberal arts background or maybe philosophy or such since you powers are main thing but you want a good general grounding. The mind control would be very hard to not just cheat but if you look at deeps it would be easy to blow off studies for adventures at sea.
