Earth-1A Background Information[]

History not yet written.

Aquatic telepathy: Doctor Pelagian possessed incredible telepathic powers over marine animals. His powers of telepathy were so powerful that he could even block out Aquaman's telepathic powers if he were to try and control one of the marine animals that he already had control over. How he got this ability is never revealed, although it seems to have come to him naturally.

Engineer: He is an expert engineer, having designed a computer that can create tidal waves, and it even had it's own defense system. When Marvin and Wendy tried to sabotage the computer with milk and glue the computer initiated a defensive program against them, stopping them from putting foreign substances into the computer.
Marine biology: He is an expert of marine life. Aquaman referred to him as the most brilliant marine biologist he had ever met. He even found a means to communicate with marine life, in a similar manner that Aquaman does, by somehow finding a way to give himself the super power of aquatic telepathy.
Diving: He is knowledgeable about diving, and he even faked his death once diving off of Point Gander.

The word Pelagian means; "Inhabitant of the open sea." It is a reference to the Pelasgians, or more accurately, indigenous inhabitants of the Aegean Sea region and their cultures.
