Aquaman

Forget the cliche about how Aquaman's powers are useless. That came from Superfriends. In his original element, Aquaman is awesome.

Why? Because he's insane.

^ The way Kate Beaton does body language is hilarious.

I saw the thread title and new what I must do, but then I opened it and saw that a8 had already done that...

Aquaman is also SuperStrong. Not SUPERMAN level, of course, but there's a long list of other Superheros from the DCU you'd probably want to be punched in the face by.

Also, apparently he has super-speed? Nice.

Do any versions of Aquaman other than the DCAU version have a hook for a hand?

Justice4243 · 2013-01-30 17:17:19

Yeah, originally he had the hook in the comics.

Let me see if I can find a pic.

Justice4243 · 2013-01-30 17:17:47

There we go:

Justice4243 · 2013-01-30 17:20:33

Apparently his hand was eaten by piranhas in the comic.

Mr. Darcy · 2013-01-30 17:25:47

Note that after writers tired of the hook hand, he got it replaced with a hand made of water.

Most superheroes have passed through many hands. Aquaman has done so literally.

Mr. Darcy · 2013-01-30 17:48:27

This is crazy yet beautiful:

Forget comics. There should be a picture book like this, like Dinotopia with sea creatures instead of extinct creatures.

I remember in Justice League he had to cut his own hand off to save a baby...

RocketRunner · 2013-01-30 22:13:17

Yeah, I remember that design of him in the cartoon.

My favorite version of Aquaman is the Brave and the Bold version.

A review I read once told me that this was the best version because it accepted Aquaman's more ridiculous aspects instead of denying them and an integral part of his character.

I like it because he yells 'Outrageous!' a lot and lives life to the fullest.

RocketRunner · 2013-01-31 01:30:56

Oh, yeah, the Brave and the Bold version is best.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-01-31 01:37:38

OUTRAGEOUS!

Brave & The Bold was awesome. It had the Doom Patrol in one episode.

Anonus · 2013-01-31 01:38:52

I should have watched Brave and the Bold when it was running

This Beware the Batman doesn't seem like it will appeal to me

^^ The Superdickery episode makes the entire show worth it.
