Charybdis is a terrorist and enemy of Aquaman.

History

Charybdis was driven mad when his wife and partner in crime Scylla was killed in an attempt to kill Aquaman. He had the ability to take over other people's powers and used this on Aquaman: he commanded piranhas to eat the hero's left hand. But he was unable to control this power and fell in piranha-infested waters. Instead of being eaten, he merged with them, becoming the Piranha Man.
