History: (New
Thunderbolts
I#3 (fb) - BTS) - Taking upon themselves the name of At'La'Tique, an ancient Atlantean phrase meaning the 'Fury of the Sea,'
the religious rebels followed various leaders, including Nagala,
Shakkoth, and Tamara Rahn. They formed a strike force called
Fathom Five, which included Dragonrider, Llyron, Bloodtide, Sea
Leopard, and Manowar. At'La'Tique's primary religious beliefs involved
wiping out life on the surface world. To achieve this goal, they formed an
alliance with Baron Strucker of HYDRA.
(New Thunderbolts I#2 (fb) - BTS) - Fathom Five led attacks against the Persian Gulf and China.
(New Thunderbolts I#1) - Fathom Five attacked New York City and began engaging in rampant destruction. Manowar attacked Blizzard of the Thunderbolts until Songbird knocked him aside. Fathom Five soon retreated.
(New Thunderbolts I#3) - Fathom Five opposed and defeated the small force Atlantis sent to deal with them.
(New Thunderbolts I#4) - Fathom Five attacked New York, and one of Dragonrider's beasts destroyed the Brooklyn Bridge.
(New Thunderbolts I#5) - Bloodtide drove Warbird into Manowar's grip, and Manowar defeated Warbird with an electric charge. MACH-IV (dressed as the Beetle) knocked Manowar from the air later.
(New Thunderbolts I#9 - BTS) - Most of Fathom Five, defeated, awaited their trial in a surface world prison.
Comments: Created by Fabian Nicieza, Kurt Busiek, Tom Grummett, and Gary Erskine.
It's never made clear exactly what Manowar is. It's possible he's a mutated Atlantean, but that's not necessarily the case. Sea Leopard isn't Atlantean and he's on the team.
