Aquon

Aquon is a supervillain in the Marvel Comics universe.

The character, created by Steve Englehart and Herb Trimpe, first appeared in Hulk #165 (July 1973).

Within the context of the stories, Aquon was a foe of the Hulk. He was servant of Captain Omen.

While serving Captain Omen he assisted the Infra-Worlders in their attempt to rule three-fourths of the world, the parts under water. To suppress a revolution led Filius (his son), Captain Omen releases his deadliest of servants, Aquon, to force rebellion into remission. Filius had chose the Hulk to lead he rebellion. With no one amongst them as strong as the hulk it became his duty to fight back the beast. the powerful Aquon and the Hulk exchanged blows holding one another to a stalemate until Aquon took the upper hand when the Hulk cracked the hull of Captain Omen's submarine home causing it to flood. Being genetically created amphibious Aquon was more than able to take the advantage over the hulk. Aquon was able to out swim the Hulk and prevented him from taking in any oxygen. soon it would seem the Hulks death would be near, but Captain Omen was forced to pump out the water before it destroyed his home. The vacuum created from this was enough to sweep Aquon deep into the sea. The Hulk made it out in time having just enough breath to reach the surface.
