Powers and Abilities
His NEXT power is the ability to breathe underwater which severely limits his usefulness in the field. At one point he tries, unsuccessfully, to goad a purse snatcher into fighting him in the water.

His costume consists of an orange and white body suit, a matching mask with green goggle lenses that covers his whole head, matching gloves and orange boots. He also has a black chest piece with a round bronze piece featuring the letter 'B' on the left side, and a grey tube on the right side which goes over his shoulder and attaches to a cylindrical gray tank. He wears a yellow belt and orange metal bracelets and anklets with many wholes, which appear to help him float.
