Commlink: I tried to make Aquaman at PL10/150pp but doggone it, I just felt like he needed a little extra oomph to encompass all of his abilities. The man is one main members of the great generation of DC heroes and I thought he deserved some props. He can rumble, he’s got skills and of course, he has telepathy. I built the Harpoon Hand version, because I thought that was a neat period in his history. The Water hand was a little much for me.
So let's get something straight and I’m only going to say this once, so don’t forget it. (And now the rant begins...)
EVERYBODY GET OFF AQUAMAN’S BACK!
OK, the man is not the greatest of heroes, but he takes more crap than just about any hero I can think of. Why? Because he’s super strong? Because he fights the good fight all the time? Because he overcame losing his hand to continue to be great hero? NOOOOOOO…It always comes back to the talking to fish. It’s aquatic racism, that’s what it is!
Please...Like other heroes don’t have lame powers, too. No one rips Tarzan for talking to monkeys. No one rips the Atom for being able to SHRINK, like that’s so freaking useful most of the time. And don't even get me started with AntGoliathYellowJacket Man again and his TALKING TO ANTS!
I got Aquaman’s back, period. And if you’re not down with that, I got just two words for ya: HANK PYM!!!
In the Thorpacoverse, Aquaman is a reserve member of the Justice League while he continues to deal with his duties in Sub Diego since Attuma has taken over the city of Atlantis and has declared war on all the undersea kingdoms. Orin and Namor have a shaky alliance in hopes that they can overthrow him in the near future.
Clean Up 3/27/08: The Sea King gets pumped up to PL11. Same pp, just some minor tweaks.
Clean Up 1/11/10: Since I was basing him on the awesome Alex Ross version from Justice, I had forgot his regeneration and I added some Progression to his Animal Control (thanks Baron).
