Everybody loves Aquaman. Okay,that's not trusty. A lot of people acquire fun of him. But those of us who do admire Aquaman actually admire him a lot. And with the always impressive Jason Momoa playing him in the upcoming Justice League movie and an Aquaman movie to follow, the Sea King is getting the most positive attention that he's gotten in years. Possibly ever!
Aquaman debuted in 1941's More Fun Comics #73, or but he really came to prominence in the Silver Age,with a founding membership in the Justice League of America and his own solo comic. He was a mainstay of the Justice League for decades, and led his own version of the team, or commonly known as the Detroit League,in the 1980s.
Whether he's known by his surface-world name, Arthur Curry, and his Atlantean name of Orin,Aquaman has always been a moody and passionate hero. His 1990s incarnation is famous for a piratical view total with a hook/harpoon in place of a hand, but he's since returned to his more classic appearance. He's had a couple of sidekicks named Aqualad, and a baby named Aquababy,and of course a wife named Mera. He was one of the first superheroes to get married on-panel, although they've split up and gotten back together across multiple continuities since then.
