Triton is able to breathe water, to swim at great speeds, and to withstand the pressures of the deep sea. He cannot naturally breathe air and needs near-constant contact with water to survive, and cannot exist out of water without artificial aids. His resistance to deep sea pressure also gives him superhuman strength and speed underwater. He has the ability to survive underwater indefinitely, and the ability to withstand the temperature and pressure of ocean depths.<br /><br />Triton has undergone basic Inhuman royal militia training. When on land, Triton employs a water circulation system consisting of lengths of plastic tubing which run along his torso and limbs, maintaining a constant mist of water and providing a supply of fresh water to his gills."johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02826626604746650253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15624230.post-52179724194539247402011-09-18T19:21:35.995-04:002011-09-18T19:21:35.995-04:00thanks for the info about triton's stripe. tha...thanks for the info about triton's stripe. thank you also for the info pertaining to this week's number.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02826626604746650253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15624230.post-65595086143857496032011-09-18T19:16:27.830-04:002011-09-18T19:16:27.830-04:00My mistake, John.

As far as Triton...My mistake, John. This IS 31.<br /><br />As far as Triton's outfit, I seem to recall that the little stripy things up the arm and such are part of the rig they made up early on so that he could breathe out of water.Bookstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797445163866512849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15624230.post-84816496868113023202011-09-18T18:17:23.759-04:002011-09-18T18:17:23.759-04:00Triton indeed does look cool. i never understood t...Triton indeed does look cool. i never understood the boots, gloves and stripe up his arm however. it seems like he would just go with the trunks like namor does.
