||
| − | [[File:Arthur Curry angry at Bruce Wayne.png|thumb|250px|Aquaman's fierce and irascible exterior.]] |
||
| − | Initially, Arthur Curry is a very conflicted individual, struggling with the fact that he has superhuman powers which he didn't know how to handle, due to him having not been trained in his childhood. Hence, Arthur grew up feeling alienated from both the human and [[Atlantean]] worlds, feeling trapped between them, yet having the responsibility of protecting both.<ref name="Justice League"/> In addition, Arthur is very bitter at his mother [[Atlanna]] for abandoning him and his father [[Thomas Curry]]. Arthur is thus somewhat gruff and reserved, unwilling to accept his place in Atlantean society, and equally unwilling accept [[Bruce Wayne]]'s offer to join the [[Justice League]] at first, as well as getting annoyed with the young and quirky [[Flash]].<ref name="Justice League"/> Surely, Arthur had previously reached an emotional rock bottom during this period in his life, even claiming that he had no concern for the ocean, and by extension, his own people. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Despite his somewhat gloomy and fearsome exterior, however, Arthur is ultimately a selfless and compassionate person, indicated by him frequenting an Icelandic fishing village during the winter in order to feed its hungry inhabitants with fish. He is later seen saving an unconscious fisherman found along the shore, bringing him into the shelter of a local pub in the village. However, he casually shrugged it off by stating that his drinks would be on the fisherman. |
||
| − | |||
| − | When confronted by [[Mera]], Aquaman initially pushes back against her reprimands, but upon learning that his mother [[Atlanna]] did not abandon him of her own free will, he begins to have a change of heart. After being unable to stop [[Steppenwolf]] from retrieving the Atlanteans' [[Mother Box]], Arthur's mind is finally made up and his joins the [[Justice League]]. He still clashes with [[Batman]], [[Flash]], and [[Cyborg]] a few times, but otherwise gets along with the team fairly well, eventually befriending them. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Arthur, while outwardly very serious, occasionally demonstrates a dry sense of humor, notably complimenting [[Batman]] on the latter's vigilante suit. When failing to intimidate Bruce due to the latter's profound experience in intimidation tactics, Arthur quickly drops his façade, revealing his laid-back and charming self. While he initially distrusted the isolated [[Cyborg]] (suspecting that he could be working with the enemy, due to his Apokaliptan cybernetics), Aquaman gradually developed a friendship with him as well, seen when Cyborg assisted him in taking down a group of airborne [[Parademon]]s. Aquaman is also somewhat of a realist, recognizing that he and the other [[Justice League]]rs could very well die in a battle against the New God [[Steppenwolf]], and agreeing with [[Wonder Woman]] that resurrecting [[Superman]] with a [[Mother Box]] is too risky. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Despite his gruff appearance and devil-may-care approach to battle, Arthur is quite intelligent and introspective, notably when he quotes Friedrich Schiller's ''William Tell'' to Bruce when asked to join the [[Justice League|League]], stating that 'the strong man is strongest alone', thus further emphasizing his preferred isolation from the surface world. When bound by the [[Lasso of Hestia]], Aquaman reveals that deep down he is very grateful for the team's acceptance, and even developed a slight crush on [[Wonder Woman]], despite the [[Atlantean]]s having once warred against the [[Amazons]]. Arthur, upon his release, became dismayed upon realizing the circumstances of his confession and angrily forbade [[Flash]] from ever sharing it with anyone. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Following the defeat of [[Steppenwolf]] and the return of the [[Superman]], Arthur is ready to finally pursue his place in Atlantean society. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Arthur is clearly a thrill-seeker who enjoys adventuring, displayed when he enthusiastically slayed Parademons alongside the Justice League and when he was introduced to his homeworld of Atlantis. He'll often employ words such as "badass" and "awesome" to describe his experiences, and even whooping in excitement when he jumped after [[Mera]] from a cargo plane without a parachute. |

||
| − | *'''Atlantean-Human hybrid physiology''': Being half-[[Atlantean]], Arthur Curry is an extremely powerful being, especially when exposed to water. Thanks to his human heritage, Arthur can also survive on the surface longer than any Atlantean could. |
||
| − | **'''Superhuman Strength:''' Arthur has tremendous superhuman strength, as he is able to lift an entire submarine over his head, destroy an underwater [[NSA]] drone with a single strike from his [[Atlanna's trident|trident]], and temporarily contend with [[Steppenwolf]] and [[Superman]]. With his trident, Aquaman was able to hold off a torrent of water single-handedly, preventing the rushing wave from overtaking the [[Justice League]] long enough to allow them to escape. Notably, Aquaman was able to strike [[Steppenwolf]] with enough force to send the latter flying several yards away. His strength was later sufficient enough to force his way into an enemy submarine and dispatch its crew members, even punching through one trooper's sword, but even more impressively lifting a submarine overhead and out of the water. |
||
| − | ***'''Super Leaps:''' Aquaman's incredible strength extends to his legs, making him able to jump immense vertical and horizontal distances, with him leaping up to the arena in Atlantis to face [[Orm]] in a duel for the throne. |
||
| − | **'''Superhuman Durability''': Arthur's enhanced physiology enables him to withstand impacts that would kill an ordinary human, and critically injure an average Atlantean. He has been seen in ocean depths as deep as 20,000 feet (3.79 miles) below the surface of the water, as well as survive unscathed after falling from an immense height and crashing through a building. With the pressure of the ocean floor, at its deepest recorded depth, being over 16,000 pounds per square inch, Arthur's body is extremely and highly durable to impact blows from even the likes of [[Steppenwolf]] as well as [[Kryptonians]]. His skin was unscathed when he punched through a sword held by a submarine trooper. |
||
| − | **'''Superhuman Speed''': While underwater, Aquaman can swim at speeds of at least Mach 4.6<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ooRCaklsF4 How Fast is the DCEU Aquaman Underwater?]</ref>, managing to thus successfully escape from the [[NSA]]'s UUV drones and cause a shockwave in the water. As such, while swimming Aquaman is able to propel himself from the water with the speed of a bullet and onto land, and can travel the ocean faster than any naval vessel. He was also able to leap onto the roof of a speeding [[Batmobile]]. |
||
| − | **'''Superhuman Agility''': Aquaman has a superhuman level of agility and coordination, allowing him to dodge [[Steppenwolf]]'s [[Electro axe|Electro Axe]] during their underwater battle, to balance himself while standing on a falling [[Parademon]] body, and even support himself on the speeding [[Batmobile]]'s roof. |
||
| − | **'''Superhuman Stamina:''' Aquaman's Atlantean musculature produces less fatigue toxins than that of a human's, thus allowing him to endure prolonged battles and adventures without tiring. |
||
| − | **'''Superhuman Reflexes''': While no speedster, Curry's reflexes are superior to average. Aquaman is shown to be able to respond to changing tactical situations and react accordingly. In his early life, he effortlessly caught a trident before it pierced his face. He was able to quickly impale a [[Parademon]] through the chest after being thrown into a free-fall, then follow up by striking down another to use to break his fall, afterward crashing through a building, then maintain his assault on land. |
||
| − | **'''Superhuman Senses''': As an [[Atlantean]], Aquaman possesses enhanced senses to help him better navigate underwater. |
||
| − | ***'''Enhanced Vision''': Aquaman's vision is better enhanced to help him see in the darker environment of the sea, with Aquaman's eyes distinctly gleaming as he stood within the dark hull of a sunken ship.<ref name="Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice"/> From his perspective, the seemingly dark environment of [[Atlantis]] is brightly lit, with the vivid and vibrant flora and fauna of the sea being as clear as though he were on land.<ref name="Justice League"/> |
||
| − | **'''Marine Communication''': Aquaman is able to telepathically interact with sea life, with him notably threatening to introduce the [[Flash]] to numerous piranhas. As a child, when this ability first manifested, he was able to defend himself from two bullies by summoning a shark to his aid, followed by the remaining animals in the aquarium. When he first used this ability, his eyes transformed from their original brown to a bright gold. |
||
| − | **'''Aquatic Adaptation''': Arthur, as an [[Atlantean]], can survive both on land and in an underwater environment. He can be immersed indefinitely without suffering any ill effects but due to his combined royal Atlantean and human lineage, he can survive on land longer than an average Atlantean. |
||
| − | ***'''Aquatic Respiration''': Aquaman is able to breathe underwater, thereby meriting his superhero nickname.<ref name="Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice"/> |

Even without his trident, Curry is proficient enough to out-maneuver Steppenwolf, quickly overwhelming the New God. |
||
| − | *'''Expert Swimmer''': Aquaman, like all [[Atlantean]]s, is an extremely skilled swimmer. |
||
| − | *'''Expert Marksman''': With his [[Atlanna's trident|trident]], Aquaman has been shown to be an immensely proficient marksman, striking down a number of [[Parademons]] with a single throw. Aquaman was able to throw his trident after being launched forward by [[Cyborg]], spearing a distant Parademon in the chest from a substantial distance away. |
