HISTORY

The origin and backstory of maritime villain The Sculpin (named after a small fish of the same name) has not been revealed. In his one and only series appearance, we know that he has a history with the Justice League, because both Aquaman and Superman recognize him and his ship. His face does not to appear to be a mask, rather, it appears The Sculpin is a mutant of some sort, half-man and half-fish. He has a backpack that likely enables him to breathe out of water, kind of like a reverse Black Manta.

The Sculpin operates out of the Sculpin Ship, which also has a a Hydro-Copter feature as well as an Escape Pod. It appears that one of his hideouts is in a cove of a small Pacific island known as Jungle Island. It was in the Sculpin Ship that he and his 2-man crew activated their Hydro Freeze Ray and proceeded to freeze the world's oceans. The next step of his plan involved cutting the ice into large chunks with Heat Laser Cutters, and then selling them to the desert countries of the world, starting with the Gobi Desert. Freezing the world's oceans obviously alerted the Superfriends, and The Sculpin's plan was foiled and he was captured.

POWERS & WEAPONS

The Sculpin does not appear to have any powers other than a mind for criminal pursuits. As a fish mutant, he can breathe underwater with gills. His backpack allows him to also breathe on land. His Sculpin Ship is equipped with a variety of weaponry, including lasers, claws, and of course, the Hydro Freeze Ray.
