Ocean's Armor:

Ekdíkisi' Okeanós wears a self-designed diving suit that enables him to survive underwater to unknown depths; it insulates him against the cold and protects him from pressure changes. The suit is sealed so completely that it cannot be entered even at the atomic level. It greatly increases his underwater mobility, primarily with some sort of diver propulsion vehicle and allows him to leap great heights when shooting out of water. It is also effective as a means of camouflage in dark water. He wears a distinctive manta-shaped helmet with two large eyes that allow for infrared and scope vision, as well as powerful optic blasts capable of hurting or killing meta-mutants. It also protects his head from trauma.

_____Artificial Gills: Ekdíkisi' Okeanós's helmet connects to an oxygen supply in his back which allows him to survive underwater for an unlimited amount of time. His suit is also atomically sealed so that no water can get inside.

_____Durability: Alt-Enhanced: Ekdíkisi' Okeanós can take hits from Trident without dying due to his suit.

_____Grappling Line: Ekdíkisi' Okeanós's suit comes with a built-in grappling line on his right gauntlet. This grappling line functions in a way like the one utilized by Vigilante and his allies, as it fires a strong cable that latches onto a surface and winches Ekdíkisi' Okeanós upwards.

_____Optic Lasers: Ekdíkisi' Okeanós can fire beams of heat energy out of his eye pieces capable of singeing an Atlantean's skin at maximum power output.

_____Shock Gauntlets: Ekdíkisi' Okeanós is able to produce an electric shock from his gauntlets powerful enough to stun an Atlantean.

_____Strength: Superhuman: Level 10: Ekdíkisi' Okeanós is strong enough in his suit to combat Trident.

Cybernetic Tentacles: Ekdíkisi' Okeanós amazing abilities derive mostly from the four mentally controlled, electronically powered, telescoping, prehensile titanium-steel tentacles attached to a stainless steel harness encircling his body from lower chest to waist. Each tentacle, approximately five inches in diameter, terminates in three single-jointed pincers. The pincers can rotate in relation to the arm for 360 degrees, in a screwdriver-like twisting motion. Each tentacle segment contains four high-efficiency electric motors equipped with a clutched, helical-gear train, independently mounted on frictionless gimbals, and housed in four thin, overlapping layers of titanium-niobium steel. The titanium-steel alloy is light, has high-tensile strength, a high melting point, and high thin-wall rigidity. The motors get their power from a small nuclear-powered thermo-electric generator, which can provide several hundred watts per hour for up to five years before needing to replace its U-239 core. The tentacles have been modified since the time of the original accident to include high-efficiency battery packs (enabling movement when cut off from the central power source) and individual micro-circuit control modules (enabling each arm to perform certain pre-programmed actions when Ekdíkisi' Okeanós loses conscious control). If Ekdíkisi' Okeanós loses consciousness, the control module of each arm has enough pre-programmed conditional responses in its memory chip to enable it to perform a relatively complex sequence of actions, such as saving his life. The trauma of his arm or arms being separated from the harness causes a period of disorientation in which his arms flail about uncontrollably until the pre-programming takes over.

_____High-Wind Generation: The tentacles can generate 50 mile per hour winds if spun like a giant fan.

_____Sensation Feeling: Although there are no nerve endings throughout the length of his artificial arms, Ekdíkisi' Okeanós can "feel" basic sensations with them. As a result of the mutagenic changes from exposure to radiation during the accident, electrical connections have been made from his chest harness to his spine. Thus, Ekdíkisi' Okeanós can mentally perceive "tactile" sensations by feeling the amount of electrical resistance that the pincer's electric motors feel when the pincers grasp an object.

_____Superhuman Striking Force: Each tentacle can move at a speed of ninety feet per second and strike with the force of a jackhammer.

_____Technopathic Tentacle Manipulation: Ekdíkisi' Okeanós can control the actions of his artificial arms psionically, even when they have been severed from his body and are separated from him by vast distances (900 miles has been recorded).

_____Telescoping: Each tentacle is approximately six feet long at full contraction but can extend to a maximum of 24 feet in length.

_____Wall-Climbing and Traveling: By combining the intrinsic strength of both his tentacles and the pincers, Ekdíkisi' Okeanós can scale stone, brick, or concrete walls by rending "handholds" in the surface of the wall. Ekdíkisi' Okeanós can use his tentacles for traversing horizontal distances as well. At full extension, he can travel high above the ground as if on stilts, either using two tentacles, or for maximum speed (approximately 50 miles per hour), four tentacles.

Submarine

He possesses a small submarine which he usually drives while travelling in the ocean. The submarine is shaped like a manta ray and can only fit a few people in it.
