Powers and Abilities
Andromeda has all the powers inherent to the Homo mermanus, but her strength and speed are far greater than that of any ordinary Homo mermanus, though not as great as that of her father or Attuma. She is adapted to live underwater, having gills that allow her to breathe underwater, she can swim at high speeds and her body is resistant against the pressure and the cold of the deep oceans. Her specially developed vision allows her to see clearly in the murky depths of the ocean.
She can survive only for 10 minutes out of water, unless she uses a special serum that gives her the ability to breathe air. Her stamina, agility, and reflexes are reduced when out of the water.
She has been trained as an Atlantean warrior, and is very skilled in the arts of hunting and war, wielding a trident as her weapon of choice. She carries a short sword and an 8" dagger as additional weaponry.
Andromeda also has extensive knowledge of biochemistry.
