**Orin Atlant-son**, also known as **Arthur Curry** or more famously **Aquaman**, is a superhero from DC Comics. He is the king of Atlantis and by extension Earth's oceans as well as a founding member of the Justice League.

## Background

Aquaman aka Arthur Curry was born the son of Atlanna, a Princess from Atlantis. She was banished from Atlantis due to the fact she had a particular interest in the surface world and those people from Atlantis aren’t really found of the surface dwellers. When she got to the surface she eventually met a normal human - Tom Curry, a lighthouse keeper in Maine. Both Atlanna and Tom would meet after a terrible storm. Curry found Atlanna washed up on the shore by waves and rescues her before she can be hurt. Both Curry and Atlanna made the lighthouse their home and over time the pair would develop an extremely strong bond. Eventually the two would fall in love and eventually have a child - Arthur. Tom Curry that would quickly lead to a sentimental relationship when Arthur was born. Although Curry always knew there was more to his wife, he'd never ask her about her origins. By the age of two something strange happened to Arthur - he was playing underwater for an hour without drowning which would be impossible by any ordinary person.

However it was several years late when both Tom and Arthur would find out the truth about Atlanna. She told Arthur/Tom that she came from the learn the lost continent of Atlantis. Sadly Atlanna was on her deathbed when she was telling Arthur/Tom this but she did reveal to Arthur that he had the same skills as she did - increased strength, durability, speed and the power to communicate and control marine life.

After his wife’s death, Arthur's father decided to train young Arthur both physically and mentally to control his unique powers. Arthur was also taught mortality by his father Tom he truly believed that eventually he would become the King of the Seven Seas and the savior of the oceans. Eventually his father also passed away and Arthur decided to leave his Later, after his father's death, Arthur Curry would leave the lighthouse which had been a home to him and his home in the lighthouse in order to find his true calling where he would later adopt his superhero moniker - the Aquaman.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Atlantean Hybridized Physiology:** Like most Atlanteans, Arthur Curry is an offshoot homo sapien who is biologically adapted to the deep ocean environment. For most Atlanteans, this means they can breathe underwater, endure the pressures of the deep (among other adaptations), and can only spend a very limited time out of water. However due to either Aquaman's hybrid nature or his royal heritage, he possesses a number of traits others of his mother's side of the species do not; for instance he can spend an elongated time on dry land with little ill effect and is shown to be 20–50 times stronger, faster, tougher and more or less tireless compared to others of his race. Also akin to other amphibian life is his ability to not only function indefinitely within water but to easily withstand the crushing depths of the ocean deep, as well as the harsh environment of the sea itself. These powers make Arthur among other things a super-Atlantean as well as superhuman.
	+ **Superhuman Durability:** Tough enough to resist small arms fire with minor injury, the teeth of most trench dwellers break upon contact with his body. He survived an RPG blowing in his face and can thrive in the darkest, deepest bowels of the ocean deep suffering no discomfort. He even lived through falling back to Earth after being launched into orbit by Mera, coming back down hard on top of a sea monsters head, without injury.
		- **Energy and Heat Resistance:** Arthur has taken and lived through multiple energy blasts in the past, including being flash frozen by the dead king's ice magic. His ultimate resilience was tested when he dipped into an open lava bed beneath the sea and emerged unscathed.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina:** Aquaman is able to function much longer than any human, without tiring or becoming weak.
	+ **Superhuman Senses:** Aquaman's senses are several times more acute than human capacity; he once even heard a police siren from several miles away. His senses are similarly enhanced beyond the regular human norm, he can see perfectly fine in the pitch black abyss of an oceanic trench as well as hear things from a good distance away even while deep beneath the ocean line.
		- **Superhuman Hearing**
		- **Superhuman Vision**
	+ **Superhuman Reflexes:** Aquaman's reflexes are heightened to levels far beyond that of any human.
	+ **Superhuman Speed:** Arthur is phenomenally fast be it while running or swimming. In the sea he was able to outrace a spy plane owned by The Operative which can travel up to speeds of Mach 5.
	+ **Superhuman Strength:** Aquaman's super-Atlantean status enables him to lift insurmountable amounts of weight, for instance towing around fishing boats while tidal waves were crashing down upon them. He is capable of knocking the likes of Superman and Wonder Woman several dozen feet away with singular blows, lifting a 160000 ton Sea Liner barehanded, and lifting and throwing a sunken cargo ship. Some of his greatest feats of might include pushing a tectonic plate over the entrance to the trench's lair, and matching the legendary Hercules blow for blow.
		- **Super-Leaping:** Aquaman can make use of his powerful bodily muscles to launch himself into the air, either jumping on and off land or propelling himself out of open water like a torpedo.
	+ **Accelerated Healing:** Aquaman is able to recover from wounds far quicker then any human. It took him a matter of days to recover from his fight with the Shaggy Man.
* **Latent Magic:** Aquaman has the underlying potentiality to cast and manipulate arcanum. Normally he needs an item of power through which he can channel these abilities; like an imperial polearm of national design. An effect which is usually accompanied with a bright golden glow in his eyes, but at times he's been able to use such talents even without his ceremonial trident. Indicating this power is more innate than reliant on a channeling apparatus.
	+ **Magic Resistance:** Arthur is more resilient against arcane forces thanks to his dormant magical capacity.
* **Life Force Connection:** Aquaman has access to one of the seven hidden forces of reality related to the life-giving powers of the oceans themselves. This gives him access to a great many undisclosed abilities the likes of which he has yet to access on his own. Through the Life Force, Arthur is connected to all living beings as he is to the life giving waters which they spring from. Enabling the established supernatural link to any and all sentient entities throughout the cosmos and back towards earth.
	+ **Marine Telepathy:** While popular belief is often debated about Aquaman *talking* to fish or other aquatic fauna. He can 'Hear' the voice of the sea and 'Communicate' with its many denizens living within it along with those who spring from it. Being capable of sending out worldwide telepathic broadcasts with ease, and when necessary. Across space & time beyond mere oceanic psychic ability. Something Arthur has been able to do since when he was very young. He was able to assume control over the mind of the great sea Leviathan Topo but with extreme levels of difficulty as the stress of such an act left him comatose for six months. It seems Aquaman has developed better control over his power as commanding Topo to sunder a dreadnought from Thule wasn't as difficult as it used to be.
	+ **Transformation:** Through his use of the Life Force, Arthur could restore fallen gods to their divine selves once again. Even revitalizing them after they'd been subsumed into the primordial goddess Mother Salt. He could also use his powers to keep a divine beast from overtaking Caille's body and mind, enabling her to assume it's power without losing herself to it.
* **Hand-to-Hand Combat:** Arthur has beaten Black Manta in one-on-one combat. It has been revealed that Arthur was trained by Wonder Woman. Aquaman has admitted that he has trained with Batman.
* **Multilingualism:** Arthur can speak some Polynesian.

## Equipment

* **Trident of Neptune:** Forged from enchanted gold by Atlan, first king of Atlantis, the Trident of Neptune serves as a symbolism of the royal line. Arthur wields the Trident as both his right to rule and as a lethal weapon which can pierce mystical defences and draw blood from New Gods like Darkseid. He eventually lost this trident when the villainous Siren, posing as Mera, usurped his leadership and kingdom, but he has since regained it. Arthur eventually learned his trident is empowered by magical energies. The Trident of Neptune strengthened him by awakening his own dormant mystical capacity, enabling to combat magic in many forms. The Trident was destroyed during Aquaman's battle with the Abyssal Dark-possessed Rath, and currently sits broken in Atlantis.
	+ **Energy Transference:** The trident of Atlan has a natural proclivity to absorb, distill, channel and redistribute magical energy both from it's host and outside sources. Enabling the Aquaman to harness and manipulate his own inherent magical power through it, being able to create bundles of arcane energy to attack his enemies with. His magical abilities are likely due to his regal inheritance. He has already been able to overthrow the Crown of Thorns using his innate magical power as well as resist the effect of others' spells and enchantments.
		- **Eldritch Blast:** Arthur can combine his magic and that of the trident to execute great explosions of magic; these explosions are capable of destroying Atlantean fortresses. Through his trident Arthur can discharge potent blasts of raw esoteric power which can put down even the most savvy of magic practitioners.
		- **Force Field:** He is able to generate barriers of energy through his trident.
		- **Physical Augmentation:** The magic of his trident seemingly made Arthur all the more powerful as he absorbed its mystical energies.

* **Trident of Poseidon:** A divine blessing bestowed upon him by its previous wielder Poseidon. The trident given to Arthur blessed him with a host of mystical powers and enchantments as a means to help him battle the invading force known as the Thule. He eventually sacrificed it in order to destroy the encroachment of dimensions, but has been lent a replacement by the gods since then. He put this to full use in the League's war against the mad god Rao, conjuring a massive tidal wave teaming with sea horses. Arthur was gifted the relic by Poseidon once again when the vengeful Triumvirate of Sea Gods, who were wronged by the Grecian ocean divinity millennia ago, came to drown the world. After a lengthily battle with the ancient primal adept Namma with help from a cabaret of old gods, Father Sea would bestow Arthur with his trident once again.
	+ **Divine Empowerment:** After receiving the blessing and trident from the Olympian God of the seas, Poseidon, Aquaman gained various mystical powers.
		- **Weather Manipulation:** Aquaman states control over the storm, rain, wind, thunder, and lightning was bestowed upon him.
		- **Electrokinesis:** Aquaman was capable of summoning bolts of lightning from his trident.
			* **Electro-Blast:** Aquaman could project powerful bolts and arcs of electricity from his trident.
		- **Hydrokinesis:** Through both his blessings and the Trident given to him, Arthur was able to bend and manipulate water around himself for various purposes.
			* **Hydroportation:** With an extent water source, Arthur could teleport global-interplanetary distances at will.
		- **Cryokinesis:** Aquaman was able to use his trident to summon large icicles from the ground, and freeze an Atlantean by grabbing him.
		- **Thule Magic Resilience:** With the blessing he received from Poseidon, Aquaman was granted a degree of defense against magic, most prominently the magic of Thule users.
		- **Bane Field Manipulation:** Even before receiving Poseidon's gifts Arthur showed a limited capacity to bend the poisonous aura of Thule realm structures.
		- **Flight:** By Poseidon's blessings, Arthur could fly unaided.
* **Shell of Sounds:** Given to him by his mother. A relic that can contain recorded memories and dialog from the user, in order to convey their memories to future generations.
* **Tenth Metal Armor:** During his final battle with the Dark Knights and Barbatos, Aquaman and other members of the Justice League were gifted with suits of armor made from the element of creation itself. The Tenth Metal enables the changing and reshaping of all reality. Using the Element X armor, all of Arthur's natural powers were greatly bolstered. Tenth Metal can also change and morph its physical shape as well as bring the wearer's thoughts and desires into reality. Arthur wearing the Tenth Metal armor caused Atlantis to rise out of the ocean into open air, as this was something he subconsciously wished for.
* **Hook Hand/Cybernetic Hand:** During an incident where Aquaman's left hand was eaten by piranhas he got a replacement hand in the form of a hook hand. Eventually STAR Labs created a prosthetic that is multifunctional. It’s main weapon is a retractable harpoon, could be drawn into its casing to be temporarily replaced with a prosthetic hand. The Harpoon can be used as a grappling hook to get to higher places. The Harpoon itself can support 2 tons without breaking. It can even spin at high speeds and become a drill - easily able to drill through solid rock. It can even distribute a power electrical charge to the enemy. The Hook Hand can also entangle enemies. Eventually Arthur gained a new prosthetic hand that functioned as his normal hand does but it also has a unique feature is that it can morph into any blunt weapon such as a shield and a mace
* **Water Hand:** After he lost his metal hand he was given a new water based on by the Lady of the Lake. It is magical and gives him brand new abilities.
	+ **Hydrokinesis:** With the Water Hand, Aquaman can freely manipulate the water. Aquaman can manipulate vast amounts of water in various ways. He can fire scalding water jets off extreme pressure and split tidal waves in half as shown here as well as controlling giant tidal waves

## Weaknesses

* **Dehydration:** Though he can survive on land just as easily as he does in the water, Aquaman does need the oceans to survive, and the longer he remains away from the water, the weaker he becomes. However, he can fight for hours before this starts to take its toll.
* **Underestimated:** Even though Aquaman is one of the most powerful beings on earth he is still often underestimated by the humans of earth. At first in the New 52 no one believed Aquaman could do anything other than talk to fish before he joined the Justice League.

## Fun Facts

* Aquaman first came to being within the 1940s era. In his case being November of 1941 when he was first introduced on More Fun Comics Issue #73.
