 Powers & Abilities

* **Atlantean Hybrid Physiology:** Aquaman has a number of superhuman powers, most of which was inherited from his Atlantean origins. Although most Atlanteans possess superhuman physical capacities, Arthur's royal lineage & hybrid heritage makes him superior to any other Atlantean.
	+ ***Amphibious Nature*:** Aquaman can breath underwater & on land. He can be immersed indefinitely without suffering any ill effects.
	+ ***Superhuman Durability:*** Aquaman is extremely durable. He is resistant to energy/heat based attacks as he has with stood multiple blasts from Amazo's heat vision Black Manta's heat beams.
	+ ***Superhuman Stamina*:**  His stamina is also far beyond anything human as well as the vast majority of most metahumans. Nightwing once commented that his stamina was used as the ideal benchmark for powerful metahumans. He has been shown to be able to swim across the globe non stop for extended periods of time.
	+ ***Superhuman Reflexes:*** While no speedster, his reflexes are superior to even near metahumans such as Deathstroke. His reflexes are on the order of 12-15 times faster than a normal human. Aquaman is probably the greatest swimmer in the world.
	+ ***Superhuman Speed*:** Aquaman is said to be the fastest being underwater and capable of swimming at a constant speed of 175 mph for several hours. He's able to swim at very high speeds, having the ability to reaching speeds of 10,000 feet per second (20,000 under stress, Mach 17,7) & once swam through Niagara Falls upstream.
	+ ***Superhuman Strength*:** Aquaman possesses great superhuman strength sufficient to lift & throw a 50 ton tank, or punch a hole in a submerged submarine. It is generally accepted that Arthur can easily lift well over 100 tons. His is able to punch Superman & hold his own against Wonder Woman in hand to hand combat.
	+ ***Accelerated Healing*:** He heals more than ten times faster than humans & normal Atlanteans.
	+ ***Enhanced Vision*:** His ability to see in the murky depths of the ocean allows him exceptional night vision while on land. He has claimed that his eyes are adapted to see at 6,000 fathoms (or 36,000 feet below the surface of the water).
	+ ***Enhanced Hearing*:** His hearing is several times more acute than human capacity.
* **Marine Telepathy**: Aquaman has the ability to communicate directly with sea life & has done so throughout most of his life. He possesses a greater range of control that can actually force sea creatures to obey his whims. He requests their assistance & they comply.
	+ ***Access to the Clear***: Aquaman has the ability to sense the primal emotions of aquatic creatures through "The Clear". The Clear seems to function as a universal consciousness of all sea life. Via it he can communicate or command sea life on the other side of the planet. He can see what they see and much more what he is only beginning to realize.
* **Diplomacy:** His natural autocratic nature does not suit him well in environments where democracy is an issue but Orin is a natural commander & his ability has served him well in the protection of Poseidonis.
* **Hand to Hand Combat**: He excels at hand-to-hand combat & overall martial ability. He has trained with the Atlantean army (and at some point he was the one training his most skilled warriors), the Justice League & the Others. He is exceptionally skilled with his trident (and also swords) & excels in hand-to-hand combat with exceptional martial abilities.
* **Leadership:** Aquaman has natural leadership qualities, having led Atlantis & it's army multiple times.
* **Swimming**: Aquaman is a master swimmer. Perhaps the greatest there is.
* **Atlan's Sceptor:** Also known as the Trident of Atlan & the Sacred Trident. It is an ancient Atlantean relic forged for & originally wielded by Arthur's ancestor & the ancient king of Atlantis, Atlan. Upon finding the trident, Orin used the weapons to defeat Orm Marius and become the King of Atlantis. It is his standard weapon of choice. It's indestructible, able to hurt even the toughest of opponents. Through it, any natural powers he has are greatly magnified. He is granted possession over the full power of the seven seas & the ability to perfectly sense every creature of the ocean on the planet Earth & reach out to them all. Aquaman is always carrying the trident with him as a symbol of his authority & a deadly weapon if the need arises.
