||
| − | '''Arthur Curry''', born with the Atlantean name '''Orin''', is the King of [[Atlantis]], as well as the superhero known as '''Aquaman'''. |
||
| − | |||
| − | While initially unwilling and hostile, Aquaman would eventually be recruited by [[Batman]] and [[Wonder Woman]] to be a member of the [[Justice League]], in order to help defend [[Earth]] against the imminent alien invasion of [[Steppenwolf]] and his [[Parademon]] army. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Biography== |
||
| − | ===Early life=== |
||
| − | Arthur Curry was born on January 29, 1979, in Amnesty Bay, Maine, to [[Thomas Curry]], a lighthouse operator, and [[Atlantis|Atlanna]], the [[Atlantean]] queen. This heritage caused Arthur to grow up with incredible strength, as well as the ability to breathe underwater. Arthur's ignorance regarding how to handle these Atlantean powers, however, induced him to become very conflicted, and somewhat gloomy, with internal struggles. |
||

| − | ===Monitored by Lex Luthor=== |
||
| − | [[File:Screen Shot 2016-08-17 at 10.23.02 pm.png|thumb|left|238x238px]][[Lex Luthor]] kept an eye on Aquaman, as he did with other recorded [[metahuman]]s. Lex did this by hacking into several high-clearance government UUV drones, which recorded a video of Aquaman while the Atlantean hid inside a wrecked ship in a Pacific Ocean trench near [[Tonga]]. One drone showed Aquaman emerging from the shadows, displaying blue eye-shine, and then aiming his [[Trident of Poseidon]] and angrily stabbing it. Another UUV drone showed Aquaman swimming away from the site, fast enough to cause an underwater sonic boom.<ref name="Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice">{{Film ref|Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Amanda Waller's Files=== |
||
| − | After her [[Task Force X|Suicide Squad]] successfully defeats the mystical duo of [[Enchantress]] and [[Incubus]] in Midway City and saves her, [[Amanda Waller]] meets up with billionaire [[Batman|Bruce Wayne]], asking him to take care of the rumors following the aftermath of the calamitous events, and in exchange, she gives Bruce her files on multiple notable metahumans, including that of the [[Flash]], Aquaman, and [[Cyborg]].<ref name="Suicide Squad">{{Film ref|Suicide Squad}}</ref> |

| − | ===Meeting Bruce Wayne=== |
||
| − | [[File:Arthur Curry meeting Bruce Wayne.png|thumb|250px|Arthur meeting Bruce for the first time.]] |
||
| − | {{Quote|Arthur Curry... I hear you can talk to fish.|[[Batman|Bruce Wayne]] to Arthur Curry|Justice League (film)}} |
||
| − | Arthur was visited by [[Batman|Bruce Wayne]] in Newfoundland,<ref>[https://www.comicbookmovie.com/justice_league/zack-snyder-shares-a-new-batch-of-set-photos-from-justice-league-a147024 Zack Snyder Shares A New Batch Of Set Photos From Justice League]</ref> [[Canada]], who had learnt of his location from files given to him by [[Amanda Waller]].<ref>{{Film ref|Suicide Squad}}</ref> He arrived during the winter, during which time Arthur brought fish to feed the hungry, always coming on the King tide. On the day right after the King tide, Bruce arrived at the village and asked to speak with Arthur. When Arthur revealed himself to be there, standing among the villagers, Bruce let the latter know that an impending enormous threat was coming to the world, asking Arthur to join the [[Justice League]] under his leadership. Arthur, however, was hostile, proceeding to angrily lift and pin Bruce against the wall, ultimately refusing to join at first.<ref>{{Film ref|Justice League}}</ref> |

| − | |||
| − | ==Personality== |
||
| − | {{Quote|Dressed like a bat? I dig it.|Aquaman to [[Batman]]|Justice League (film)}} |
||
| − | 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>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjShWmDOLHw Aquaman: Exclusive First look by the CW]</ref> Arthur is thus somewhat gruff and reserved, blatantly unwilling to accept [[Batman]]'s offer to join the [[Justice League]] at first, and gets annoyed with the young and humorous [[Flash]]<ref name="TheFlashPlaysAnnoyingComicRelief">[https://www.inverse.com/article/25471-the-flash-barry-allen-comedy-relief-justice-league-movie The Flash Plays "Annoying" Comic Relief in 'Justice League']</ref>. Despite his somewhat gloomy exterior however, Arthur is ultimately a selfless and compassionate person, indicated by him frequenting a certain Canadian village during the winter, in order to feed its hungry inhabitants with fish. Arthur also saves a fisherman, bringing him into the shelter of a local pub in the village, but casually shrugs it off by stating that his drinks would be on the fisherman. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Aquaman, while usually very serious, somewhat reserved, and even gloomy, occasionally demonstrates a dry sense of humor, notably complimenting [[Batman]] on the latter's vigilante suit.<ref name="JusticeLeagueTrailer2">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNdE1Gq_a1c JUSTICE LEAGUE Trailer #2 (2017) Zack Snyder, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot DCEU Superhero Movie]</ref>. He is also a realist, recognizing that he and the other [[Justice League]]rs could very well die in a battle against the New God [[Steppenwolf]]. |

| − | ==Powers and Abilities== |
||
| − | <tabber>Powers= |
||
| − | *'''Hybrid Physiology:''' Being half-[[Atlantean]] (as the son of [[Atlantis|Atlanna]]), Aquaman is an extremely powerful being, especially when exposed to water. |
||
| − | **'''Super Strength:''' Aquaman has incredible superhuman strength, on par with [[Ocean Master]], [[Nereus|King Nereus]] and [[Black Manta]], though not quite on the same level as that of [[Superman]] or [[Wonder Woman]], making him the third strongest member of the [[Justice League]].<ref name="The Dawn of the Justice League">''[[DC Films Presents: The Dawn of the Justice League]]''</ref> His strength allows Aquaman to easily lift and pin [[Batman]] against a wall (hard enough to make the latter grunt), to easily destroy an underwater [[LexCorp|LexCorp Industries]] drone with a single [[Trident of Poseidon|trident]] stab<ref name="Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice"/>, to impale multiple [[Parademon]]s at once with a hurled trident<ref name="JusticeLeagueTrailer2">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNdE1Gq_a1c JUSTICE LEAGUE Trailer #2 (2017) Zack Snyder, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot DCEU Superhero Movie]</ref>, to firmly stay on top of the speeding [[Batmobile]]<ref name="JusticeLeagueTrailer2">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNdE1Gq_a1c JUSTICE LEAGUE Trailer #2 (2017) Zack Snyder, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot DCEU Superhero Movie]</ref>, and to even stand without being moved by huge ocean waves. |
||
| − | ***'''Super Leaps:''' Aquaman is able to use his incredible strength to jump immense vertical and horizontal distances, with him leaping from the speeding [[Batmobile]]'s roof, up at a group of airborne [[Parademon]]s<ref name="JusticeLeagueTrailer2">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNdE1Gq_a1c JUSTICE LEAGUE Trailer #2 (2017) Zack Snyder, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot DCEU Superhero Movie]</ref>. |
||
| − | **'''Super Durability:''' Aquaman is incredibly durable, as he is able to withstand immense underwater pressures, as well as to survive unscathed and unwinded after falling from an immense height through several floors of a building.<ref name="Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice"/> |
||
| − | **'''Super Speed:''' While underwater, Aquaman can swim at supersonic speeds, managing to thus successfully escape from an underwater [[LexCorp|LexCorp Industries]] drone and cause a sonic boom in the water.<ref name="Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice"/> |
||
| − | **'''Super Agility''': Aquaman has a superhuman level of agility, allowing him to dodge [[Steppenwolf]]'s hurled battle axe, to balance himself while standing on a falling [[Parademon]] corpse (which subsequently falls right through a building), and to even balance himself on the speeding [[Batmobile]]'s roof. |
||
| − | **'''Marine Communication:''' Aquaman is able to communicate with sea life.<ref name="The Dawn of the Justice League"/> |
||
| − | **'''Underwater Breathing:''' Aquaman, due to his [[Atlantean]] heritage, can naturally breathe underwater, thereby earning his superhero nickname.<ref name="The Dawn of the Justice League"/> |
||
| − | |-| |
||
| − | Abilities= |
||
| − | *'''Skilled Combatant''': Aquaman, though not on par with [[Batman]] or [[Wonder Woman]] (due to having far less combat experience), has proven himself a very capable armed combatant (with his [[Trident of Poseidon]]), notably single-handedly taking down many [[Parademons]] in rapid succession. |
||
| − | *'''Skilled Leader:''' Aquaman, as the King of [[Atlantis]], is a skilled and capable leader, though not on par with [[Batman]], hence he follows the latter's lead when finally joining the [[Justice League]]. |
||
| − | |-| |
||
| − | Weaknesses= |
||
| − | *'''Beings of Greater Power''': Aquaman, when fighting beings of equal or greater incredible might, like fellow Atlanteans [[Ocean Master]] or [[Nereus|King Nereus]], the enhanced [[Black Manta]], his stronger teammates [[Wonder Woman]] and [[Superman]], or the New God [[Steppenwolf]], is more vulnerable, as they can generate enough force to knock out, injure and even kill Aquaman, bypassing his immense durability. Indeed, Aquaman himself recognized that he could perish in a battle with [[Steppenwolf]]. |

| − | *'''[[Trident of Poseidon]]:''' [[File:Aquaman_1.png|thumb|250px|Aquaman wielding his Trident's power.]]Aquaman's primary weapon (initially belonging to [[Poseidon]] prior to the [[War of the Gods]]), which, due to its nature, is one of the extreme few weapons that can actually injure the otherwise invulnerable Kryptonian [[Superman]],<ref>[http://www.themarysue.com/zack-snyder-defends-aquaman-batman-v-superman-date/ ''Zack Snyder Defends Aquaman’s Honor'' - The Mary Sue]</ref> in addition to also being able to help Aquaman summon and generate massive waves. |
