Let's clear up a few Aquaman misconceptions, shall we?

[The Question]

Looking around the hype, I see quite a few Aquaman misconceptions. This, for me, just doesn't fly. So, before the show starts, I think it would be best to clear up some of these misconceptions.

1) "Aquaman's powers are so lame. All he can do is breath underwater and talk to fish." Not true, my friends. While Aquaman can do both of those things, there is much more to his abilities than that. First of all, let's have a little lesson about the ocean.

At the very bottom of the ocean, the pressure is eight tons per square inch. Atlantis is at the vert bottom of the ocean. Meaning that everyday, every square inch of Aquaman's body is pushing against eight tons. His thumb alone pushes againts eight tons regularly. And he moves around and does things like normal people. He eats, he sleeps, he takes walks, he watched TV. All with eight tons of pressure per square inch pressing down on his body. And Aquaman is in great physical shape for an Atlantian. He was physically active practically from birth, giving him an amazing physique. In many ways, he is physically to regular Atlantians what Tarzan would be to humans.

With that much pressure bearing down on him, he posseses vast superhuman strength and speed on land. Now, he's not as strong as Wonder Woman or Superman, but he's most likely in the same League as them, and could probably hold his own in a fight againts them if he fought smart. And while nowhere near as fast as The Flash, he can probably run several hundred miles per hour on land. And, his reflexes are also superhumanly developed.

Here's something else about Aquaman. He's a mutant telepath. That's what makes him different from most Atlantians. Having grown up in and near the coean, he is used to talking to marine life. But he's hardly limited to marine life. He can sense the thoughts an imotions of humans aswell. He's also, through practise, learned how to manipulate the immotions of others to calm them down, and can give people painful psychic seizures, which gives him a serious edge in a fight. He's nowhere near Martian Manhunter's level, but he's still quite good.

2) "Aquaman is so lame. He just sits around the hall of justice and does nothing while the others go and kick ass." Again, not true. Aquaman is in fact a veteran of the League. He was a founding member, and was on the team before Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman ever were. Before they came along, he was the leader of the group in many ways. And today, amung the big seven, he's still considered to be the veteran of the group, and his descisions carry much weight in the League.

3) "Aquaman is a fruity little wuss." Not true at all, my friend. In many ways, he is actually one of the most badass members of the League. He's a skilled fighter and tactitian, and is not hesitant in using his skills and powers to lay the hurting down on some bad guys. And, unlike Batman, he's actually capable of inflicting physical harm upon League level threats. He's also been known to take on things that most people wouldn't. One time, J'onn was disguised as Superman. Aquaman, who was very angry at Superman at the time, then punched him and continued to yell at him about how he would be respected on the team, thinking that he was in fact punshing and yelling at Superman. He's hardly a wuss.

4) "Aquaman's villains are so stupid." Not true. While Aquaman doesn't have many villains, the ones he does have kick major ass.

First, you have Black Manta. Born an autistic savant, Black Manta was treated very poorly in the orphanige he grew up in. This, combines with the staff's limited knowlege of autism and inability to properly take care of him, filled him with much hate. Later, he became a test subject for a possible cure for autism. However, all they really did was pump him full of mental stimulants to see what would happen. It did make him much more lucid and cognitive, but combined with his past traumas, it also drove him completely insane. Now a drug lord and priate, he hides beneath the waves, coldly calculating his next move. He is one seriously ****ed up individual.

Then, you have Ocena Master. Aquaman's half brother who was extremely jelous if Aurthur. When Aquaman reclaimed the Atlantian throne, Ocean Master came to challange him. He was quickly defeated and sent into exile. He then began dabbling in both science and the ocult, eventually selling his soul to the demon Neron for vast sorcerous powers. Now a very powerful mage, he is hell bent on destroying his brother and claiming Atlantis as his own.

Of course, there's Koryak. Aquaman's iligitimate son. Posseses his father's mutant abilities. Wants to take the throne from his father. Not a particularly nice person.

The Shark. Basically, a mutated tiger shark with powrful psychic abilities. He's basically an underwater serial killer. His vast strength and psychic abilities make him a very real threat to anyone. However, his low inteligence makes him unable to use his psychic abilities to their fullest potential. But, he's still a sociopath who eats people and rapes their minds while doing it. So yeah.

[blksuperman2]

First off I would like to appauld you on your efforts to enlighten the masses. Many Aquaman supporters would try and say that Aquaman is just as powerful as Superman and Wonder Woman and that's certainly not the case. But he is no slotch either. I think that many people have a stigma about Aquaman from the Superfriends cartoon. That really gave him a "Lame" label.

My only gripe is that I don't think Aquaman has any real superspeed. Wonder Woman possesses the speed of Hermes. For those that don't know he is the Messenger of the Gods and is superfast. Captain Marvel has the speed of Mercury who is the Roman version of Hermes, but for some reason in the comics Captain Marvel is shown as being superfast while Wonder Woman isn't. Technically I can see your point that Aquaman is fast but unless you can give me a few references, I'd have to disagree.

[The Question]

Wonder Woman has been shown to have super speed. And Aquaman has been shown to be super fast in the past. One example of this is when he dodged sniper fire and pushed a civilian out of the way all in an isntant. Sniper fire moves very fast, so....

[The Question]

Here are some examples of Aquaman feats. Thanks to Yenaled for posting them:

I hope he seems "more defined" now.

[Ultimate_Superman]

Thank You very much though I doubt this show will show just how good Aquaman is. Instead I have a feeling the reason for the new Aquaman is so A.C. can come to the comics.

[Assassin]

A. C. Stands for Aurthur Curry..Aquamans name

[blksuperman2]

I think Tony Montana's talkin' bout DCs revamp of Aquaman in the comics. He may be right, it just might coincide w/ Mercy Reef. Only time will tell.

[Ultimate_Superman]

I know I mean A.C. like the one from SV his acting and all going into the comics now.

[The Question]

Do you honestly think that would happen?

[Kaboom]

good job question, admittedly im not the most versed on Aquaman, so i appreciate your efforts.

[Red]

Can see the logic in your post Question, but not everyone see's Aquaman as lame

[celldog]

He will not be using telepathy. :mad:

[The Question]

What?

[Red]

Was that addressed at me?

[Ultimate_Superman]

Do you honestly think that would happen?Did you ever think Catwoman the movie would have happened? Did you think Sins of the past would have happened? Did you think Spider-Man would have claws?:confused::(

[The Question]

Fair point.

[The Batman]

black Manta is one of the most badass villains ever. just watch the JLU Dead Reckoning...

[Ronny Shade]

I wish I knew more about Aquaman so I could be more satisfied with this thread. I've always respected him, though. Always wished he'd be done justice on screen.

[The Sage]

Looking around the hype, I see quite a few Aquaman misconceptions. This, for me, just doesn't fly. So, before the show starts, I think it would be best to clear up some of these misconceptions.

He was a founding member, and was on the team before Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman ever were. Before they came along, he was the leader of the group in many ways. And today, amung the big seven, he's still considered to be the veteran of the group, and his descisions carry much weight in the League.

Of course, there's Koryak. Aquaman's iligitimate son. Posseses his father's mutant abilities. Wants to take the throne from his father. Not a particularly nice person.

The Shark. Basically, a mutated tiger shark with powrful psychic abilities. He's basically an underwater serial killer. His vast strength and psychic abilities make him a very real threat to anyone. However, his low inteligence makes him unable to use his psychic abilities to their fullest potential. But, he's still a sociopath who eats people and rapes their minds while doing it. So yeah.

Thanks. I constantly forget about Aquaman's other abilities.

[Assassin]

i still dont like him

[amazingfantasy15]

Ok, so Aquaman isn't quite as lame as I always thought, but will these abilities make a compelling show?

[Assassin]

nope

[The Question]

Ok, so Aquaman isn't quite as lame as I always thought, but will these abilities make a compelling show?


Possibly. If they play their cards right, the show could be a political sci-fi/fantasy epic. But then, they might not play their cards right.

[jusblaze21]

Interesting Post......:up:

[Lord Blackbolt]

If they ignore the whole telepathy thing....I'll ignore this show. :)

[The Question]

Yeah, that would be lame. His telepathy can be used quite well if you have some imagination.

[Kaboom]

Possibly. If they play their cards right, the show could be a political sci-fi/fantasy epic. But then, they might not play their cards right.

the show will be on the CW...how political could it get without alienating its 13 year old fan base.

[The Question]

Like I said, they might not play their cards right. But then, Jack and Bobby was able to mix political stuff with what the WB fanbase was more into.




And Jack and Bobby got cancelled after one season. :(



Still, if they play their cards right, it could be pretty kickass.

[Lord Blackbolt]

Since Lori Lemaris isn't gonna show up in Smallville...this is a perfect show for her to show up in. :)

I think there's a lot of possibilities with this show. Anyone see that show...Surface. If they keep the whole Atlantis thing as a ongoing mystery... and reveal the kids powers real slow..it could work. In Surface...the kid has powers...he can talk to fishes..and live underwater!!!!! I was like...WTF!!!! And has electrical powers.

[Carter]

Interesting but Aquaman is just so.......lame

I'm sorry, but I think he's incredibly lame and I don't know how well this show will do.

Mercy Reef? Sounds too much like Smallville for Aquaman.
And Smallville itself can be pretty crappy from time to time.

So if this is a poor attempt to copy Smallville, I don't see it doing well.
Even Birds of Prey went bye bye

But I'll give it a chance

[The Question]

Why do you think he's lame?

[user123456789]

Why do you think he's lame?

I think the reason why I don't like Aquaman as much as some of you do is because he's just not 'popular' enough for me. Yes, i'm a conformist in this case.

[Carter]

Why do you think he's lame?

I can't get past the orange shirt and green pants.
Even though that's changed since I just cant shake it out of my head

It's hard to explain

Even his name bothers the hell out of me

[The Question]

Well, depending on the artist, the green pants and orange shirt can look pretty cool. And I usually go back and forth between refering to him as Aurthur and Orin. I use Aquaman, but not as much as Orin.

[Spider-Gamer]

Aquaman is so badass. He is VERY underrated. I hope this show is good enough to show the general audience that he is not a total wimp he is portrayed as already in the public's mind. :up:

[Avalanche]

Well, I've never thought Aquaman to be lame. That said, I completely dislike his character. I'll only watch Mercy Reef if they take a slightly different approach to him.

[Ultimate_Superman]

Aquaman is so badass. He is VERY underrated. I hope this show is good enough to show the general audience that he is not a total wimp he is portrayed as already in the public's mind. :up:Thats the only way I will watch this show if they show just how much of a badass he is. I remember in JLA vs Avengers Aquaman brought a Killer Whale out of the water and dropped it on them.

[jayg02747]

Sadly, I don't think this show will do very well. Warner Bros. has a poor track record of translating comic book characters to screen. Look at the earlier Batman movies. They started out okay and went downhill. Birds of Prey was a flop. It could have been better had they mirrored the comic book and reflected the relationships within the comic book. The only reason Smallville has done as well as it has is because of the good writing on the show. They keep doing the "villain of the week" as being some Kryptonite radiation induced monster. Brainiac wasn't quite as used as he could have been. The screwed up Jor-El (although I like the fact Terence Stamp does his voice [He played Zod in Superman II]). The only recent successful translations of DC characters to the screen have been Bruce Timm's animated series (Batman, Superman, Justlice League, Batman Beyond) and Batman Begins. I'm not even sure that Superman Returns will be that good. And I'm nervous as hell about Wonder Woman. I love Joss Whedon as a writer and I'm hoping he does her justice. It seems nobody wants to do anything Post-Crisis with these characters.

[Trigger]

I hope this show doesn't get too silly. Poor Aquaman gets enough crap. I checked out of Smallville when Lana became a lesbian vampire with Clark's abilities.

[JackBauer]

I can't get past the orange shirt and green pants.
Even though that's changed since I just cant shake it out of my head

It's hard to explain

Even his name bothers the hell out of me

I know it's been a while since this post, but how is, say, Superman any better a name?

[kiuju2k]

I personally have a problem with all underwater type characters(namor included). I respect his character and his experience and what he brings to the table with the league... to me he's a sovereign leader and should be just that. I think hes often compared to the MM. The less informed readers think he is a waste of a character and can never reach superman/WW levels of power. Which we all know is clearly not the case. I think Arthur has that same road ahead of him.

[MaskedManJRK]

I have a question for the current Aquaman readers--what's with the magic water hand? :confused:

[The Question]

Aurthur was given the hand as a gift by the Lady of the Lake. The hand can morph into any shape he can think of, heal wounds, and nullify magic. It also makes it so he doesn't get dehydraited out of water.

[MaskedManJRK]

Ah.

Can you recommend to me any good Aquaman trades?

[The Question]

I've actually read less Aquaman than I'm proud to say I have. But I've heard good things about Peter David's run.

[Blomberg]

Ah.

Can you recommend to me any good Aquaman trades?


Unfortunitly, Time and Tide by Peter David is the only Aquaman trade out and I think it's out of print. You can still pick it up on Amazon and ebay, but good luck finding it anywhere else.


I wasn't a big fan of David's run, but I am in the small minority there, which I guess means everyone else is an idiot.
