History

Henry Croft was a biochemist attached to Empire State University. He was mutated into an amphibian by Dr. Hydro's experiments, and came into contact with Namor and the Atlanteans. When the Atlantean people were exposed to a nerve toxin, Croft assisted Namor in uncovering a cure for his people. He began working out of Walter Newell's Hydrobase as a laboratory.

Croft eventually consulted with Reed Richards, who speculated that Hydro's amphibian process bore a resemblance to the Inhuman, Triton. With the assistance of the Inhumans, the Hydro-Men's transformation was identified as Terrigen based, and an Anti-Terrigen Compound was used to restore Croft and the others to normal humans.
