Aquaman

Aquaman is a Mythic character in DC: Dark Legion. Aquaman's weapon type is ranged and role is Firepower. Faction: Justice League.

On our DC: Dark Legion tier list Aquaman is B tier, 20th of the 36 characters ranked, from where 8 current tier lists put Aquaman.

Aquaman plays more like a crowd-control support than an actual Firepower damage dealer: his single-target lockdown and short-range knockback protect the frontline, and his Ultimate reliably drags the whole enemy squad together for follow-up hits. His own damage is weak for the class, though, and Breath of Atlantis barely reaches past melee range, so he tends to lose straight fights against surviving damage dealers late on.

We rate him B; he fits best in Position 3 backing up a real damage dealer, and his go-to home is a full Justice League squad with Martian Manhunter and Superman up front.

Pairs well with: Justice League: Martian Manhunter and Superman in front, Aquaman, The Flash (Barry Allen), and Green Lantern or Mera in back.

Arthur Curry was the child of a forbidden love between Atlantean queen Atlanna and Tom Curry, lighthouse keeper in the town of Amnesty Bay.

Atlanna had to return to Atlantis to fulfil her royal duties, but had to leave Arthur to be raised by Tom for his safety.

As he grew, Arthur showed signs of not just his mother's ability to breathe both air and water and swim at great speeds, but other vast powers.

Tom had Arthur's blood analysed by a scientist, but when he learned the scientist planned to release his findings, Tom destroyed it all except one vial of blood.

The scientist paid a mercenary named Black Manta to get the vial.

In the struggle, Tom had a heart attack.

Finding his father dead, Arthur fled civilization until he was found by Atlantis' royal advisor, Vulko.

His mother had died, making Arthur the new king of Atlantis.

Arthur ruled Atlantis for a while. He learned he had a younger half-brother, Orm, who was steeped in the old traditions and prejudices of Atlantis; Orm served as the acting king when Arthur was away.

During his initial reign, Arthur began an initiative to recover the weapons of the Dead King of Atlantis, the undersea kingdom's first monarch.

Of these weapons, Arthur kept the Trident of Neptune for himself.

Around this time, Mera, a woman from an offshoot city of Atlantis who wielded great powers of aquakinesis, was sent by her people to kill Arthur.

However, she fell in love with him instead, and he felt the same.

The King of Atlantis had found a queen.

Arthur re-established contact with the surface world, becoming known as the superhero Aquaman and helping found the Justice League.

He clashed with Black Manta and other enemies, both above and below the sea, including the Dead King of Atlantis, who returned after millennia to retake his kingdom.

At one point, Aquaman and Mera decided to leave Atlantis and live on the surface, ceding the throne to Orm, who had taken the title Ocean Master.

However, Orm came into conflict with the surface world, and Aquaman and Mera fought and deposed him, reclaiming the throne of Atlantis in order to restore peace.
