Dr. Kino Marin

Kino Marin is a brilliant scientist who studied marine biology and genetics practically his entire life. Searching for a solution to perfect human healing (without scar tissue) was his life's work. He developed genetically altered bacteria which helped modify starfish stem cells to aid in human healing, but his work was cut short by a horrific accident which may have killed hundreds of people, and left him a mutated horror. Eventually he was able to pull himself together using sheer will, and become the aquatic hero Starfishman.
