U.S. Navy man Jim Lockhart designed a one-man submarine he called “The Red Torpedo”. His superior officer Captain Wells dismissed the idea. Lockhart resigned from the Navy and built the sub anyway, with the help of his fiance Meg. The Red Torpedo travels underwater at high speeds and emits fire-based energy beams. As its name suggests, the sub was also an offensive weapon, with the capability of ramming ships and inflicting severe damage. Using his sub, Lockhart became the peacekeeper of the seas, the Robin Hood of the deep. His most common enemy was the pirate Black Shark. He discovered Merezonia, an underwater civilization inhabited by the Mermazons.
