Known Powers
Sub-aquatic species capable of surviving the depths of the ocean.  Due to their adaptations to the greater pressure of the ocean depths, Atlantians are stronger and have longer life expectancies than surface humans.

Atlantians can not survive out of water for prolonged periods of time without mechanical assistance.

Note: There are several examples of Atlantian-human hybrids who are able to defy the limitations typical to their species.

Origin
In ages past a samll continent in the Atlantic Ocean became the cradle of an advanced civilization known as Atlantis.  When an earthquake caused the continent to sink into the ocean the civilization died, but their structures and technology remained upon the ocean floor until it was discovered by an aquatic offshoot of humanity over 10,000 years ago, giving rise to an undersea Atlantis.
