Heroes of GottaLetitgo Part 1-Aquaman 
Could life suck any more for this superhero? Here he has all these superpowers and they stick him on the bottom of the ocean. Here is how that meeting went: "Okay, Batman is going to take the city crime and Superman is going to take the overall global spectrum and...where's Aquaman? Okay, buddy, you get the Ocean. If a squid acts up, we want you on it. If the seaweed gets out of control, whip it in to shape. There's a lot of major crime that goes on 20,000 feet below sea level and you're our man." My guess is they just didn't like him so he got the suckass job. And Superman and Wonderwoman and Batman and all the rest of those bastards just laughed and laughed. But in the end, Aquaman gets the last laugh because he gets fresh seafood every night and doesn't have to do squat. And mermaids dig him too. Stay tuned for the next exciting installment of Heroes of GottaLetitgo... All good things they say never last... | |

Typical Episode of Aquaman
A crime spree has broken out in the city. Several banks have been robbed and the public is threatened. Aquaman calls into the police commissioner. Aquaman: So, chief, what can I do? How can I stop this horrible band of thiefs. Police Chief; Um...well, yeah. I guess if they fall in the ocean, it's all on you. Aquaman: Alright chief. (To self) I'll just wait and if they jump into water and then I'll get them. Several days pass. Aquaman works out, redecorates his undersea apartment, plays some solitaire on the computer. Aquaman finally calls the police chief. Aquaman: So chief, can I help with the robbers? Police Chief: Uh, yeah. Superman got them. But we here there is a band of real pissed off dolphins coming your way. Aquaman: (unenthusiastically) Gee...that's...great. Aquaman hangs up the sea phone. Aquaman sighs. All good things they say never last... | |

Prince Namor the Sub Mariner could fly. Nope. He's actually DC's knock-off of Namor to begin with. Namor debuted during WWII (long before the company was called Marvel), while Aquaman first appeared at the close of the Golden Age, a few years after Namor. At first, he was just Namor without the attitude. Over time, DC creators decided to make him a little more interesting, giving him the ability to telepathically comminicate with ocean life. This power has expanded in recent years, with him now able to incapacitate villians by accessing the primordial part of the human brain that evolved in the ocean. He now is a major bad-ass, who cut off his own hand at one point! 
Real name: Arthur Curry Orin
Occupation: Waterbearer of the Secret Sea, exiled King of Atlantis Base of Operations: Atlantis Marital Status: Married Height: 6' 1" Weight: 325 Eyes: Sea blue Hair: Blond First Appearance: MORE FUN COMICS #73 (November, 1941) Born of royal and sorcerous Atlantean blood, the infant Prince Orin was abandoned on Mercy Reef for having blond hair, which according to Atlantean myth signifies the Curse of Kordax. The child, left for dead, was rescued and raised by the dolphin Porm until finding his way into the care of Arthur Curry, a lighthouse keeper. Coming of age, Orin - by then having taken the human name Arthur Curry in honor of his adoptive father - discovered he possessed tremendous strength and speed and the ability to communicate telepathically with all marine life. As Aquaman, Orin helped found the Justice League of America. Discovering his royal heritage, he reclaimed his birthright as King of Atlantis, eventually taking Mera - the deposed queen of another dimension - as his bride. The tumultuous nature of that relationship, which included the death of their child, was only worsened by the events of the Imperiex War, during which Aquaman sacrificed himself and his people, trapping them thousands of years in the past. The Atlanteans were enslaved by their sorcerous ancestors for more than fifteen years before Aquaman - aided by the JLA - returned them to the present. To effect the rescue, Aquaman was forced to re-sink ancient Atlantis. For this, he was deposed as king and once more banished from the seas. Barely alive, the outcast King of the Seas was visited by the Lady of the Lake. She restored his health and appointed him "Waterbearer" - a role whose full depth Orin has only begun to explore.

See that's not interesting to me! Namor was regal! He was a king! And he had to deal with the trappings of power. Plus he was a deep thinker and brooding person! Namor rules! I didn't realize Aquaman was a knockoff. I thought it usually went the other way, with Marvel ripping off DC. | |

Whenever I think of Aquaman now, I can't help but think of him in the Superfriends Budweiser commercial parody..."Just watching the game, having a Bud." | |

I didn't realize Aquaman was a knockoff. I thought it usually went the other way, with Marvel ripping off DC. Oh, I agree. Namor is way cooler. Aquaman has definitely improved over the years, but he still isn't half as cool as the Sub-Mariner. Sure, Aquaman is also a king, dealing with the trappings of power, but he just doesn't have the edge that Namor does.
