Wil Scott always wanted to change the world, and he always loved the sea. Growing up as the son of a Florida fisherman, he worked his fathers boat the Manta when he could while he effortlessly flew through school. He was endlessly fascinated with the life the nets brought aboard, asked a million questions of the fishermen and divers and earned himself the nickname “Little blue” (from some wit who called him a walking book of the Big Blue). | Wil Scott always wanted to change the world, and he always loved the sea.

People noticed, including a government run special projects Lab. A young Wil was offered what he thought was the opportunity of a lifetime – to work on cutting edge marine science special projects. He saw it as a way to finally follow his dream and make the world a better place. |

At the heart of this project was a study on adapting workers for long term underwater mining. What Wil didn’t know was the source of the genetic templates he was working on – a captive Atlantean. He discovered this when he was working late one night and the Hero known as Stingray broke into the facility. Initially scared into submission, he was horrified to discover that his “work” was being extracted from a young Atlantean girl named Alora, whom Stingray had come to free. |
There and then his world crumbled, and his fury at being used led him to help Stingray get away with the girl. In the process, he destroyed all of project MUs research, crashed the mainframe and faked his own death in the resulting explosions. | There and then his world crumbled, and his fury at being used led him to help Stingray get away with the girl.

Blue Manta was, until the Civil War, a relatively unknown hero, although he had worked alongside a few of Floridas’ local vigilantes. He has disrupted the local drug and gun-running trade enough that the Cartels have put a bounty on his capture, dead or alive. He has also visited Hydrobase and Stingray more than once and managed to meet up with Alora again during one of his adventures. They have a tentative relationship, complicated by politics and their own differing physiologies. | Blue Manta was, until the Civil War, a relatively unknown hero, although he had worked alongside a few of Floridas’ local vigilantes.

The government knows him as Scott Williams, an identity carefully crafted to bear examination-if not looked at too deeply. Meanwhile, Wil Scott leads a triple life as a registered hero, up and coming CEO of a promising company and, deep inside, a young man who still wants to change the world for the better. |
