07-Waterboy

Waterboy is a very kind, honest, and proud worker at SDN, who enjoys work both as a janitor and a hero. However, he is shown on multiple occasions to freak out or get nervous. After Robert's advice upon being recruited for Z-Team, Waterboy quickly becomes more confident in subsequent episodes, stuttering less and forming clearer sentences when speaking. Despite his confidence issues, he is determined to be a hero and stands up for people in need.

Waterboy even shows concern to others he may not be close with. When Chase falls into a coma, Waterboy is evidently very affected by the situation that he gets so angry as to throw a chair at a vending machine.

Despite being terrified by most stuff, he absolutely isn’t a coward. He will throw himself into danger for what and whom he cares about. His comfort level is narrow but he can and will move out of it if needed.

Bodily liquid generation: Waterboy's body automatically generates water, which acts more as a hindrance than a boon to him. Everything in Waterboy's house needs to be waterproofed so it doesn't suffer water damage, and he is only seen wearing a wetsuit, as regular clothes would likely get drenched. Anything he grasps gets inevitably wet, meaning he can't properly handle paper without soaking it, and the puddles he leaves behind usually cause people to slip. It is also implied that this power gives him diarrhea. This makes Waterboy easily one of the most powerful heroes whose powers we know of, far more powerful than Flambae in particular once properly harnessed. While both could replace the need for the Colorado River in the operation of the Hoover Dam, for example, only Waterboy could do it in his sleep.

Hydro Vomit/Hydro Spit: Waterboy can expel streams of water from his mouth by vomiting. As a janitor, he frequently used this ability to cover whatever he was cleaning with water, which he would then wipe off. Waterboy can expel water at such a velocity that he can launch himself several feet in the air, allowing him to throw himself at his enemies. With training, his saliva can take on healing properties, as reflected in the Holy Water Spit power.

While Robert is watching an SDN ad featuring Phenomaman, waiting for Blonde Blazer in the lobby, he's nervously greeted by Waterboy, who claims his idolatry of the latter and makes small talk about him. Struggling to fix his tie, Robert sits next to him to tie it himself, noting how soaked it is. Robert asks if he's there for a job interview, which Waterboy admits to, explaining that his powers leave him soaked regardless, leading to others referring to him as 'Waterboy' for it.

While fixing Waterboy's tie, Flambae enters the lobby, causing Robert to inch closer to Waterboy and obscure his face from him. Waterboy recognises him as Mecha Man in return, saying he thought he was dead, and is surprised that he was smaller than he imagined. Blonde Blazer joins in to retrieve Robert for his onboarding, much to Waterboy's awe, standing up to greet her, exclaiming that she's a 'real hero'.

Sometime after Robert's first shift, Waterboy is seen cleaning his desk, nervously clarifying that he wasn't responsible for the mess, and explaining that Invisigal had come by to leave Robert's favourite donut as a gift before doubling back to smash it in her anger. While somewhat disappointed to be a janitor, he insists on cleaning up Robert's desk, and earnestly thanks Robert for helping him, implicitly revealing that he recognises him as Mecha Man as a civilian.

Waterboy lives with his grandmother, whom he cares for, along with several cats.

1-Splash Comic: Waking up from a dream where he can touch toilet paper without soaking it, Waterboy wakes up and begins his morning routine, and takes care of his grandmother before heading out. On his journey, Waterboy encounters various issues brought about by his powers, all of which end in him getting harmed in some way. As he crosses the road to get to the SDN Torrance branch office, he is hit by Flambae's car, the hero cussing him out for being in the way and tells him not to tell anyone before driving off. Entering the SDN lobby, Waterboy finds Robert Robertson, dressed as his Mecha Man alter ego, seated in a chair.

Waterboy is a lanky, young man with auburn hair and grey eyes, he has white skin and he's very tall, he's around 1.93 meters.

When preparing for his interview, Sometimes he wears a thin black tie, and a white dress shirt collar is visible from the neck of his wetsuit
