THE WATER SIGNS
The Water Signs of the Zodiac include: Scorpio, Pisces, and Cancer.
Within the various incarnations of the Zodiac in Marvel Comics, the members have a particular connection to or are a living embodiment of the sign they have been named for. Human members, like those of the original Zodiac Cartel, are generally born under that zodiacal sign. The LMD creations were given appearances, personality matrixes, and power sets based on their sign, its symbol, and the typical noted characteristics of those born under the sign. Those who had actual super powers or were technologically enhanced had abilities inspired by their sign as well.
