We all know that Black Manta could have been much better and is far from playable, but one way to get some use out of his E is playing Saboteur on the sucker.
For only 54 points total, you have a cheap and effective way to really throw a wrench into wild-card abusers' strategies - as they'll only gain the useless IL ability. This forces the opponent to devote their resources to get rid of him, but who cares since he sucks?
In the off chance that your opponent isn't using wildcards though, I'd recommend including some mastermind support so you can use him as a backup damage sponge.
Same as the Rookie but adds the Injustice League TA. With the ATA, is slightly better if he's helping out Wildcards. Otherwise, the Rookie is better for 10 points less. Playability is a 4 due to decent range, attack value and incap.
At this point there's almost no reason to use him. Frankly, even in his day he was a joke. The only thing I can say for him is that mine had a voodoo curse placed on his head. Everytime he died (Which was a lot...), everyone began rolling tons of critical misses. For that reason alone I'm commenting on him.
