Although profoundly not quite the same as the Arthur Curry fans have come to know, Aquaman first made a splash in More Fun Comics #73. He was created in 1941 by Mort Weisinger and Paul Norris. Arthur has advanced a lot from that point forward, however, he has had somewhat of an issue being taken seriously, due to his Super Friends appearances. Try not to misunderstand us, the King of the Seven Seas has a considerable amount of admirers, but despite various image overhauls throughout the years, Aquaman remains the butt of numerous jokes.

Brought into the DCEU in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in 2016, Jason Momoa’s version of Aquaman was significantly developed in Justice League the following year. While neither one of the films was received well, numerous watchers were inspired with Momoa’s depiction of the notable character. Here are the 7 Weirdest Things About Aquaman’s Anatomy.

7. HE WAS COMPLETELY TURNED INTO WATER

This is another ability that hasn’t seen a great deal of utilization throughout the years, but Aquaman was at one point made altogether of water. Amid a “Just’a Lotta Animals” story known as “The Obsidian Age,” Zatanna utilized her magic on Arthur to enable him to save Atlantis. She changed him into a living body of water who ended up being known as The Water Wraith.

The Water Wraith’s amazing hydrokinesis made him nearly god-like regarding his forces, however, one disastrous side-effect of this change was a modification of Arthur’s identity.

6. HE WAS COMBINED WITH NAMOR TO BECOME AQUA-MARINER

There was a period in the mid-90s where Marvel and DC blended their characters in a series called Amalgam. This new universe acquainted fans with heroes, for example, Dark Claw (Wolverine and Batman), Iron Lantern (Iron Man and Green Lantern), and Catsai (Elektra and Catwoman).

Obviously, the Marvel character to consolidate with Aquaman was Namor, and the two converged to end up Aqua-Mariner.

5. GOLDEN AGE AQUAMAN WAS HUMAN

The heroes who’ve figured out how to persevere since the Golden Age have changed a lot in the years since their debut. Superman couldn’t fly, Batman carried a firearm, and Aquaman was a simple human. That is maybe the most irregular difference since it implied that the majority of his great abilities were learned.

Yes, Aquaman figured out how to breathe submerged in water, speak with fish, and became sufficiently able to endure the profound sea through “training and a hundred logical secrets.” The first version of the character was later settled to be the Aquaman of Earth-2.

4. HE LOST A CHILD

Aquaman has encountered a ton of misfortune all through his long life, however, nothing was as shocking as the end of his child. Not long after his marriage to Mera, the two had a child, Arthur Jr., a.k.a. Aquababy. In spite of the fact that Arthur has a lot of foes, Black Manta is likely his most prominent adversary, and he ended the life of Arthur’s child.

Black Manta caught Arthur Jr. and caused his death by removing him from the water. It was the agony of this incomprehensible misfortune that at last shredded Arthur and Mera. This was certainly one of the darker stories in DC Comics, particularly during that day and age.

3. HE HAS BEEN PLAYED BY THREE DIFFERENT ACTORS

At this point, everyone knows that Jason Momoa is depicting Aquaman in the DCEU. While his interpretation of the character is exceptional, before this, the Aquatic Ace had an alternate adjustment on Smallville, in which he was played by Alan Ritchson. Ritchson wasn’t welcomed as Aquaman but has had more fortunes as Hawk in Titans.

Aquaman also almost had his own TV series. The pilot was shot with Justin Hartley (of This is Us) in the titular role.

2. SILVER AGE AQUAMAN COULDN’T SURVIVE OUT OF THE WATER

Aquaman has a long history of requiring water to survive. The amount of time he could stay out of the ocean depended on who was composing the story, but it had unquestionably established that Arthur couldn’t live ashore. This was especially huge amid the Silver Age when superhuman shortcomings were very normal. Superman had his kryptonite, Green Lantern couldn’t win a battle against anything yellow, and Aquaman required water each hour or so to endure.

However, the New 52 got rid of this shortcoming through and through.

1. THERE IS A LOONEY TUNES VERSION OF HIM CALLED AQUADUCK

There was also a whole Looney Tunes version of the Justice League called “Just’a Lotta Animals.” They were made during the ’80s by Roy Thomas and Scott Shaw, and they existed on Earth-C-Minus. It included Super Squirrel, the Batmouse, Wonder Wabbit, Green Lambkin, and the Crash. Obviously, no JLA team would be finished without their very own Aquatic Ace, so Aquaduck was also a part of it.

This isn’t the only occurrence of a Looney Tunes duck getting engaged with super-heroics. After a stir up with Hal Jordan, Daffy Duck ended up as Green Lantern for a little while.
