Now I know most people have a very low opinion of Aquaman based off of how useless he was made to be in the old SUPER-FRIENDS cartoon but that was a poor representation of what is really one of the coolest super-heroes around.

5. He Has No Problem Tugging On Superman’s Cape

Aquaman is no punk. If he is disrespected he will open a can of tuna fish style whoop ass on anyone who steps out of line…even if that someone has a big red “S” on their chest.

4. His Wife Is Like An Underwater Wonder Woman

Aquaman’s wife, Mera, is royalty from another dimension who has the power to control water in all of its forms. She is also a ride or die chick for Aquaman who is just as kick ass as her spouse.

And think about her power set: she controls water on a planet that is about 70% covered in the stuff and which is populated by 7 billion people who are all made up of about 60% of it too. If Mera was real she would be this planet’s Supreme Queen because we would be ass out if she ever got pissed at us. Don’t believe me? Take a gander at this:

3. His Arch-Enemy Is Much Cooler Than You Think

Black Manta is a bad mother…shut yo mouth! But I’m talking about Black Manta!
Manta is a cold-blooded dude who has made it his life’s work to screw over Aquaman at every turn and he has been pretty amazing at it too. While all Lex Luthor has ever done is be a gigantic, bald pain in Superman’s ass, Manta has actually delivered a crushing blow his enemy by murdering Aquaman’s toddler son. That’s right! Aquaman’s arch-nemesis is a baby-killing, power mad, would be conqueror. Now that is a bad guy fit for an A-list super-hero.
Plus his helmet is cool as heck.

2. He Talks To The Fishes…And That Aint No Joke

While on the face of it being able to talk to fish sounds incredibly stupid. The first thing anyone thinks of is communication with goldfish and seahorses. But in actuality that ability means you control all the creatures in the sea like whales, dolphins, octopi and sharks…all kinds of sharks.

1. Like The Honey Badger, Aquaman Just Don’t Care

What other hero would chuck a live polar bear at someone? Batman couldn’t even lift a polar bear let alone throw the damn thing at the bad guys like it was a Batarang.
