Arthur Curry - also known as Aquaman - is a superhero from DC Comics. Born from a union between a human and an Atlantean, he possessed common traits of both races. His Atlantean heritage afforded him an affinity for surviving underwater, the ability to control water currents and to communicate telepathically with sea-dwelling animals. Being of the royal bloodline, Arthur would inherit the throne of Atlantis and use this position to take an active role in safeguarding Earth's oceans. As well as protecting Atlantis, Aquaman would also fight alongside the heroes of the surface world as a member of the Justice League.
DC Animated Movie Universe[]
In the DC Animated Movie Universe, Aquaman is voiced by Matt Lanter and appears in Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, Justice League: Throne of Atlantis, Justice League Dark, The Death of Superman and Justice League Dark: Apokolips War. In Apokolips War, he joins the Justice League as they attempt a preemptive strike against Apokolips. Unfortunately, Darkseid learns all about the League's plan by hacking into Cyborg's systems, learning every detail as Cyborg does. When the strike takes place, Darkseid is more than ready for the League and unleashes an army of Paradooms: creatures that are half-Parademon, half-Doomsday. Many of the heroes are killed in the ambush, including Aquaman, who is blasted in half by Darkseid's Omega Beams.
