Aquaman Deserve Some Respect

Before I start, I would like to have a couple questions answered- 1. Any chance you can clarify on your claim? 2. Could you provide sources to your points such as the origins of Aquaman in the 40's? This is for my curiosity more so than anything. Now, there are a few points I would like to cover. In order to prevent confusion and keep us both on the same page, I will try to cover the Aquman from New Earth. 1. Aquman, is the rightful heir to the Throne of Atlantis- a continent founded on it's intense magical energies connected to the Darkworld, leading to the development of arguably the first homo-magi. Because of the development and learned manipulation of the energies, Atlanteans grew to become arguably the most prominent and advanced civilization in existence. Through the development into homo-magi, the Atlanteans have become adept in magic and are biologically adapted to the sea, following the Great Deluge. As for Aquaman, he has been known himself to get into magic- obtaining several powerful magical weapons and powers. (1) (1) http://dc.wikia.com... 2. Aquaman may have water deprivation, however, his ability to physically adapt to the waters and land is significantly higher than any other Atlantean- giving him the ability to stay on land for longer periods of time. Besides water deprivation, no other weakness has been noted. (2) (2) http://dc.wikia.com...(New_Earth) 3. Aquaman leads his people well- hence, the writers have chosen to give him great diplomatic abilities, able to represent and protect Poseidonis ( the capital city of the continent of Atlantis) and command people with great tactical skill. Also, due to how 70% of the Earth is water, than Aquaman technically rules over 70% of the world, being that he controls all sea life. (2) 4. The joke that "Aquaman can talk to fish" may be true, but it is also proven throughout the comics that he has telepathic abilities, period. "Aquaman is also an accomplished telepath in general and can perform such telepathic feats as mind to mind communication, mind probes, mental domination of a non-aquatic mind, and mental attacks. The potency of such mental domination is unclear but he has been seen to use his powers to great effect against the White Martians and Doctor Polaris." As for "20 yds." I have yet to see a source that claims this. (2) 5. While it is debatable how strong and fast Aquman truly is according to measurement, it has been shown over the years how his strength and speed are immense and powerful. Strength-wise: "Aquaman's superhuman strength allows him to lift a Blue Whale which can weigh in upwards of 400,000 pounds or 200 tons, strength sufficient enough to allow him to rip a tank apart with his bare hands." While speed-wise: "He can swim at over 10,000 feet per second underwater. It means he can swim to from New York to London in about a half an hour. We are not given sufficient information to know how long he can sustain such speeds. Above water, he should be able to clock a decent 60 to 80 mph on land in short burst due to his superhuman strength and stamina and should be capable of increased reaction times in terms of raw hand-to-hand fighting ability." Granted, this is a Quora answer- however, if you examine the answer entry, you will find actual evidence to her points through pictures of recent New 52 comics. It is also noted that Aquaman has indeed rivaled Superman's power and abilities. ( Yes, this is a moment I went out of New Earth.) (3) (3) https://www.quora.com... Sorry for being so late to respond. No real excuse, it's just been hectic for me lately. Looking forward to your Round 2 and we'll cya' soon! Have a good day.
