Elliot managed to earn a scholarship to college when he graduated high school. He earned his degree in oceanology, and at school he discovered old texts talking about legends of Atlantis, stories he’d already heard as a child from both his parents. He became obsessed with finding proof of the society’s existence after graduating much like his dad, and he used his powers to scour the oceans in his work. After the ban, he was discovered by the NSA, who offered to give him funding to search for Atlantis if he would become a super for them. He agreed, and became Maelstrom. After he joined S-men, he finally found the lost city of Atlantis and his friends and parents were proud of his very successful achievement.
