With his business fialing, Hank Waters was taking his fishing trawler out for one lsat trip. Horrified to catch a stowaway on board, Hank was in the middle of berating her when the pair are caught in a shower of Energy X. Hank’s powers etend form his time with the ocean, and he has sworn to use them to protect the children of the world.

Analysis:
To succeed in certain levels of the game, Man O’ War is practically a requirement. He is resistant to electrical attacks, making him useful against the annoying onslaught of the Darkmen. His Storm Bolt does impressive electrical damage, not only making it deadly against the legions of robots near the end of the game, but also meaning it will stun most enemies. Ball Lightning is somewhat useful, though its randomness will sometimes make it a waste of energy. The water powers are all fairly low damage with high knockback, really only to be used if your electrical attacks are being resisted or if you need to make a quick retreat from a bad situation. With Man O’ War’s good speed and starting flight, he will be one of your faster heroes early in the game. If all else fails, he is strong enough and tough enough to go toe-to-toe with an enemy…for a little while.
