Aquaman vs. Amazo
While no match for Amazo one on one, Aquaman still manages to hold the fort. Showing his agility, hurting Amazo with a single punch, taking a blast of Superman's heat vision to little effect, and finally delivering the finishing blow on the weakened Amazo.

snoopdogg Big Pimpin

Damm...AC is the man. I don't understand why people hate on him so much.

Lucid Lui Air Laki Laki

Ah, he's an easy target because of the Golden Age stuff. And when he's ripped on well, it can actually be very funny. But in most cases people just recycle the same old jokes.

King_Mungi ...........

Well this is interesting, the new Aquaman is on a cover with the rest of the Outsiders in "BATMAN AND THE OUTSIDERS #1"

Lucid Lui Air Laki Laki

Indeed he is. Aquateen on the Outsiders!

Could be good.

Martian_mind telepathy+debates+=Pwned

i find it funny how Grace is on the team....don't Jonn and Aquaman kinda make her moot?

Lucid Lui Air Laki Laki

Well, i dunno if Aquateen makes her obsolete, she's probably got more showings to back her up than he does at this point. But yeah, with J'onn on the team she doesn't really bring anything to the table that they don't already have.

The Dwellar in the Depths

Sacrificing himself to save the people of Sub Diego, Aquaman was transformed into the Dwellar in the Depths, with some new powers, no memories, and word of his existence spreading throughout the ocean. Believing his memories to be a prophecy about the coming of Aquaman, the Dwellar begins training one Arthur Joseph Curry, who's similarities with the original Aquaman are uncanny.
Here you'll see the few abilities the Dwellar has shown so far, and his current not-so-dead status...
----------------------------------------------
Utilizing the dormant power in his own bones, Aquaman raises the sunken city of Sub Diego, but as a consequence is transformed into the Dwellar in the Depths.

Great sequence from the "For Tomorrow" Superman arc, drawn by Jim Lee.

I'll always respect Aquaman,for many reasons 🙂

BentonGrey Senior Member

Howdy guys, I'm working on something of an Aquaman mod for a game called Freedom Force. In working out the storyline, I'm looking to include several of his lesser known foes, so I'm hoping that the Aqua Experts here can help me out. Who are these guys:

http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/7671/aquamanv63705zv8.jpg

Specifically, the fellow with the trident and veil and the fellow with the skull mask in the bottom left. I know the rest, but those two are new to me. Any ideas?

BentonGrey Senior Member

Howdy, I just recently figured out who the veiled fellow is, just in case anyone other than I am interested. His name is Piscator, and he apparently made his appearance in the Suicide Squad title.

Well, it's been awhile since i updated so i guess i'll post this:
http://community.livejournal.com/scans_daily/3930492.html#cutid1

Nothing too impressive, but Gleason sure does draw an awesome Aquaman. Even draws an awesome 90's Aquaman.

And some ownage of Aquanoob by Batdick...

King_Mungi ...........

Now that's awesome and yeah even in the past Batman and Arthur were friends as they shared the same ideology and he helped him when he had to battle the Eel.

Also does that mean Aquateen didn't make the Outsiders then? I was sure he was going to

Lucid Lui Air Laki Laki

He's been on the cover to issues 1 and 2 so far, so i'm thinking he'll make it on the team based on his knowledge and access to the Hatches. Or he'll just be around for the first arc.
