Tags: underwater diving (15 pics), water (13 pics) Mermen are mythical male legendary creatures who are human male from the waist up and fish-like from the waist down. They are less commonly known than their female counterparts, mermaids. Entertainment In some modern works and movies however, Mermen are portrayed as handsome, strong and brave. They are almost always portrayed wearing no clothing, no matter what the temperature of the water is, with the exception of armour or cloaks in some settings. The Thirteenth Year (1999, 13 years ago) is about a teenage boy turning into a merman. In The Little Mermaid animated TV series, an original character by the name of Urchin is a merboy and Ariel's new friend. He shares her love for adventure and is unofficially her adopted brother. Erotica author Megan Hussey has written several romantic e-books pertaining to the merman legend, including "A Good Catch" and "Prince of the Seas," released through Silk's Vault publishing, as well as "Azure Masquerade" and "Passion Storm" through Midnight Showcase (in print, audio and e-book versions). Mer-Man from He-ManThe Creature from the Black Lagoon could be seen as a modern adaptation of the merman myth. One of the main villains in the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe animated series was named Mer-Man; he was the lord of aquatic beings of similar appearance. In an episode of Family Guy, after falling overboard from a cruise ship, Lois Griffin is saved from drowning by a merman who, in reverse of tradition, has the upper body of a fish and lower body of a man. The merman, believing all women fantasize about making love with Mermen, is incensed when Lois rebuffs his advances. The merman attempts to force himself upon Lois before she pushes him down and leaves him flapping helplessly in the sand. Prior to Crisis on Infinite Earths, Supergirl had a romantic interest in Jerro the Merboy, similar to the one Superman had with Lori Lemaris. In Kamen Rider Kiva, Bassha is a Merman who takes a form of a young boy, and provides one of Kiva's weapons. He can spit deadly water bubbles. In Zoolander (2001, 11 years ago), Ben Stiller's character portrays a Merman in a commercial. In Funny People (2009, 3 years ago), Adam Sandler's character is an actor who played in several fictional movies, including one named "Merman".
