His character, if I remember correctly, does carry plants on him, so the aquaman comparison, aside from being a bit dated (aquaman stopped being useless on land around the time I was born), is pushing it. Yes, he won’t fight at his best unless he’s in the right spot, but Glynda for instance could be argued would be much more dangerous in a dust shop due to her semblance, that doesn’t mean she will barricade herself in one.

Some fighters require conditions to be more effective, compare and contrast  a sniper preferring to fight in places where they can have multiple clear shots on their target, with a swordsman being able to fight at full capacity regardless of place provided someone’s in range. Phantoms character fits into the former, it’s as simple as that.
