History
Arkus was the Captain of the Atlantean Army. He succumbed to the heat being spread to Atlantis by Dr. Hydro.[1]
Arkus was sent out to deal with the "the School" who operated out of the slums of Atlantis and had captured inhabitants of the city and held them hostage. Arkus arrived just after Namorita had knocked the group out. He attempted to welcome Namorita back to the city but she left.[2]Attributes
Powers
Arkus possesses the conventional attributes of Atlanteans (Homo mermanus): gills that extract oxygen from water, superhuman physiology to withstand extreme pressures and temperatures, and acute vision. He can swim at approximately 30 miles per hour. He can remain out of water for approximately nine minutes before beginning to suffocate. However, he can operate on the surface by wearing a water-filled helmet or using a chemical that enables him to draw oxygen from the air.
