Backstory:
Shock Wave was a world renown fishman scientist that developed many different weapons for the heroes of Skylands. He was so good that eventually he started attracting the eyes of the villains. Kaossandra came to him one day and told him to develop a weapon for her. Naturally, he refused her. Anger at his refusal she cast a curse on him and turned him into an eel and cast him out into the Pirate seas.

Wanting revenge, Shock Wave spent the next decade scavenging parts along the ocean floor to build a watery mech. He made it out of seashells and tried to get it to work but something was missing.

He built a golden trident and attached it to the mech before taking it to the surface during a massive lightning storm. The waves were rushing and he worried it wouldn't work. The trident became detached and he leapt out of the water at it right when lightning struck. It supercharged him and the mech making it come to life. He also found he could swim through the air now using electrical fields.

Finally ready for his revenge he went searching for Kaossandra, only to find she'd been captured in a mirror prison by the Skylanders already. Not wanting any of it to go to waste though, he joined the shrink squad.

Personality:
Shock Wave is extremely intelligent and always does what is right. He has a nerdy personality and although he hates the stereotype, is obsessed with sci-fi. He is working on a 23 chapter fanfic based around the popular series "Sky Wars" currently.
