How about this scenario Jean TK's Arthur into the air Iceman freezes him solid and Cyclops hits him with an eyeblast shattering him into itty bitty pieces. The remainder of the team just chills.
But if he was hit simultaneously by that trio I'm sure that he would think twice about getting back up. Shoot if you really want to get down like that Cyclops could put a world of hurt on him alone. Cyclops was blasting the flesh off of the Hulk just recently, it didn't stop him but Aquaman is no Hulk when it comes to strength. Jean could also be a problem for him alone, all together they would overcome him IMO.

Jean Was barely able to lift beast back in the day. And Iceman threw snow balls. We need a time reference for the 5. I'd say if it was when the 5 where on the xmen blue and gold teams, aquaman is going to get his ass kicked good.
ahem... cough! The X-Men back in the day could run with Magneto and drive him back... surely Arthur would fall... like I said Cyclops is the X-Factor here no pun intended, if he was taken out then i could see Arthur giving them the fight of their lives. The Question is could Arthur move faster than Cyclops could blast him? doubtful.
Surely you jest. Magneto could errect force fields strong enough to stop Cyclops optic blasts, manipulate salt irons in the blood stream, there is no version of Aquaman that could take Magneto out ever. Magneto was also shielded to telepathic assault as well. To be honest he could imprison Arthur in a steel cage and if he was feeling particularly evil that day, crush the cage with Aquaman in it until he screamed holy Bat Shit!
Actually, there is a very good chance that Arthur could dodge Cyke's blasts, his reflexes are unholy. Back in the day, Cyke's blasts weren't as powerful as they are now. Ohh, and yes, the time reference would be the ORIGINAL team during their ORIGINAL adventures. So, we're talking about them when they were all neophytes. I could definitely see Cyke hurting Arthur, and I could see this being a great fight, but I would hardly call it one sided. For example.... http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/...sblind021kj.jpg http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/95...sblind038me.jpg
He's pretty durable. I think it's conceivable that he could take a blast from classic Cyke and keep coming, but I'm not entirely sure just how powerful his optic blast was back then. I remember seeing him shatter a brick wall, but my memory is fuzzy.

from what I remember Cyclops has only learned how to channel his blasts more efficiently, both as far as raw power goes not much has changed. Hence if he took his visor completely off, he may even kill Arthur straight out.
