You sure you weren't reading directions on how to be a douche?

If YOU understood, then it's definitely vague. You, The user that has a history of assuming rulings, based on personal reasonings and what you believe to be true, should step back and check yourself before you commit yourself to being a total dink.
Oh wait, that ship sailed long ago.

Sweet, the fireworks started earlier than I thought today!

I never said it did, it's just that's what anyone with common sense will do

This is called hedging: I never said that, but if I did, it is common sense. It's categorically false and don't try to weasel out of what you said as a supplement to somebody's explanation of how the power works. I can think of about 3 scenarios where the utility you are describing is far from advantageous.

It does not specify that where you place the Water Terrain has to be in a square another character occupies.

Neither does it specify that the character chosen has to be occupying the Water Terrain you just placed, just water terrain within 8 squares.

Therefore "Place that character into an adjacent square" could refer to;
- adjacent to the square of Water Terrain you placed.
- in a square adjacent to the selected character.
- in a square adjacent to King Aquaman.

As others have pointed out, previous instances like this would point to it being adjacent to King Aquaman.

Brainiac Skull Ship Ruling:

For each opposing character Skull Ship damages with a close combat attack, after actions resolve place adjacent a Drone bystander token.

In this example it equally doesn't specify "adjacent to what? - the skull ship or the opposing character" but the ruling was adjacent to the skull ship.

When 'adjacent to ...' is not specified, you should be able to gather the subject based on the context.

Just says 'place adjacent', self-referential

Does not just say 'adjacent', but says 'adjacent square', in the context, the 'chosen square' would be the subject for the adjacent square.

Would be a wacky power if it were a ladder from 6 squares away that warped you to a square of elevated terrain that was adjacent to Captain Cold. The subject is the square containing the marker.

Again, if it just said 'Place that character adjacent', the context would be self-referential, but it says 'an adjacent square'. The subject goes back to the chosen character.

No, I don't believe any of this is actually detailed in the rule book, or on WIN, it is just a common sense application of the English language. 'Adjacent' = 'Adjacent to character using power', 'Adjacent Square' = 'Square adjacent to the subject of the power'

Thank you for posting these, specifically Vindicator. Hers was the power I was trying to find yesterday, but couldn't remember the figure it was on. Aquaman has functionally the same wording as her, in that it is referencing the targeted character/square.

Here is the ruling :
