He’s a half-human, half-atlantean mutant. So what aspects of his powers/biology come from being a mutant vs being half-human/atlantean?

He has tiny little wings on his ankles that let him fly.
Most likely the flying wings on his feet. A lot of his other powers are explainable by virtue of the fact that he doesn’t explode when he swims from Atlantis to the surface in 10 minutes, not to mention being able to even move around in Atlantis. Maybe the air breathing? Not sure why Atlanteans in general (marvel and DC) are able to breathe air at all, given that they’ve lived for centuries underwater and the ability to breathe nonliquid air seems like something that would devolve in that timeframe.
The one thing that comes neither from his human nor Atlantean heritage is his ability to fly, and the little wings on his ankles. The fact that his “cousin”, Namorita, developed the same mutation might hint at an unknown factor that will always lead to this ability in a natural Human-Atlantean hybrid.
Those little ankle wings that let him fly. That’s why he’s the only one to have them.
