Powers/Abilities: The Aquion are aquatic creatures; they are presumably adapted to the dark, pressures, and cold of ocean depths. They appear to have at least pectoral limbs...it is unclear whether they have pelvic limbs, or a caudal/tailfin, or what. It is unrevealed whether they can survive for any length of time out of their aquatic environment. It is also unrevealed whether their world is covered by fresh water, salt water, or some other liquid different than water.
    They may have possessed cloaking technology shielding them from Galactus' detection.

Traits: Next to nothing is known of the Aquion. The Aquion possess sufficient intelligence to communicate, perhaps telepathically, with the Galactus-powered Human Torch, confirming that they were no threat to a cosmic-powered being like Galactus.

History: Next to nothing is known of the Aquion.

(Fantastic Four I#521 (fb) - BTS) - The Aquion may have possessed cloaking technology shielding shielding their planet from Galactus' detection, possibly granted to them by Zius and the Survivors.

(Fantastic Four I#521) - Empowered as the herald of Galactus, the Human Torch (Johnny Storm) sought allies to help rebel against Galactus. He tried to recruit the Aquion, who made it clear they wouldn't be very useful by pointing out the simple fact, "We're fish." The Torch left them in peace.

Comments: Created by Mark Waid, Mike Wieringo, and Karl Kesel.

    Aquion is the name of the planet...the race's name may vary...
