Biography:

The green skinned water elemental Fathom, is a character created to be part of the series Elementals. The Elementals was a dark superhero comic book series with strong mature story lines. It was first published Comico Comics in 1984 and created by Bill Willingham, for which he was both writer and artist.

Rebecca (“Becky”) Golden was an affluent Jewish debutante who died at the age of 18 when she drowned in a yachting accident. Becky then encountered the otherworldly spirit of water and was resurrected, imbued with the powers of water and sent back to Earth as Fathom to defend it from the evils of the Shadowspear.

Having led a sheltered and lavish life, Fathom has the hardest time of the Elementals adjusting to their new roles in society and the world. Fathom frequently suffers emotional pain at the rejection from her friends from before her death. Despite the fact that Fathom is the only Elemental to receive any support from pre-death associates, both from her father and her butler, Lawrence, Fathom often seemed the most lonely and least able to cope with the changes in returning from the dead.

Fathom’s somewhat carefree upbringing also left her unprepared to wield such tremendous power and shoulder responsibility for the entire world. Though Fathom’s powers are capable of creating massive tidal waves that kill hundreds, and flooding an entire subway system killing thousands, Fathom shows the most amount of remorse towards those killed from her actions, reflecting back upon these moments even years later. Though she eventually grows to accept the taking of life for the greater good, she always seems to be the most sensitive member of the Elementals, learning to control her temper and use only minimal force to neutralize without killing. She frequently admonishes her teammates as well for their more lethal methods of dealing out justice.

Of all the Elementals, Fathom maintains the most amount of interest in the goings on of the social world, marketing a line of clothing and frequently doing interviews and autograph signings. In personality, she seems to be the least detached of the Elementals, though it is still noted that she carries the same uncomfortable aura of death that other paranormals raised from the dead do.
