HISTORY
Four undersea researchers, adventurers, and environmentalists who have been around since before the days of the JLA. They have frequently worked with Aquaman. Members are: Dane Dorrance (team leader), Judy Walton (who later married Dane), Nicky Walton, and Biff Bailey. Dane Dorrance was also a member of the Forgotten Heroes. The team utilized Neptimus, a giant underwater robot as a vehicle and a weapon, as well as their mobile headquarters.
More recently, Dorrance has headed up an international group of Sea Devils including Gideon Rivers (a former Navy S.E.A.L.), Henry Kucharski (a former wrestler, also known as Kooch), Melinda Spyros (a pearl-diver from Greece, who was killed by Marauder in the new group's first recorded adventure), David Davies (an Australian swimming champ with expertise in explosives) and Sigourney Amundsen (a Swedish electronics genius). The Sea Devils are currently based on Windward Home, the floating base of Jimmy Lockhart.
