“	His surface friends seek relief and refuge in disguises and insignificant jobs while Arthur does neither and assumes greater responsibility. He is nothing less than a global leader, charged with safeguarding an entire nation and its people - and leading them into tomorrow. For Arthur, there is no dual life, no opportunity to ignore the needs of others. He is king. Of the Seven Seas and more.	„

Weaknesses: Being without water for over an hour can weaken and eventually kill him, although the Waterbearer hand negates this, and he can even hydrate with blood if absolutely necessary. Prefers not to use his telepathy to directly control others, usually only using it to its full potential when pressed into a corner. His telepathy tends to be less effective on beings that are less related to sea-creatures, although this is sometimes ignored.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Atlantean Physiology: The Atlanteans are an offshoot of humanity that is biologically adapted to the deep ocean environment. For most Atlanteans, this means that can breathe underwater, endure the pressures of the deep (among other adaptations), and can only spend a very limited time out of water. He also possesses superhuman levels of strength, speed, endurance and durability, all by-products of his body being adapted to survive unprotected in the tremendous pressures of the ocean depths. Although other Atlanteans possess similar adaptations, Aquaman's royal lineage makes him a super-Atlantean as well as super-human, and as such he has greater physical capabilities than does a typical Atlantean.
• Marine Telepathy: Aquaman has the ability to communicate directly with sea life and has done so throughout most of his life. Lately he possesses a greater range of control that can actually force sea creatures to obey his whims. Currently, he requests their assistance and they comply. He has chosen to continue to request since, if he forces them to comply, they will ultimately lose respect for him. Aquaman is also an accomplished telepath in general and can perform such telepathic feats as mind to mind communication, mind probes, mental domination of a non-aquatic mind, and mental attacks. His telepathy as of the events of Brightest Day also cover the likes of Artificial Intelligences and Undead Sea-Creatures.
• The Trident of Poseiden:  An unbreakable three-pronged leister that serves as an extension of the god's own power. It can be used for base offensive purpose, but can also be used for a variety of mystical effects, such as cleaving a spatial aperture in the middle of the ocean. The trident is capable of controlling any body of water, creating water elementals, speed ships and other water vehicles with water, create fogs and storms of high intensity, summon waves of water to propel him at great speeds, and create earthquakes by increasing water pressure.
• Arm Replacements: Over his various adventures, Aquaman has used a variety of different implements to take the place of an arm he lost to a group of disobedient piranhas.
  • Harpoon Replacement: Initially affixing his missing hand with the tip of a whaling spear he owned, Orin made use of it as a melee weapon both in and out of the water. He donned it as a symbol of his own title and authority as a hero and ex-monarch of Atlantis after his decisive battle with Charybdis, feeling he needed a new look to match his new mindset. The spear head was lost in a battle between the two elemental's Corona and Naiad when the later, his former flame and mother of his son Koryak, flash melted it to little more than a stump of molten steel.
  • S.T.A.R. Labs Hook: Replacing the harpoon that was later destroyed by Corona, S.T.A.R. Labs engineered a multi-functional hook replacement. Its primary weapon, a retractable lancet, could be drawn into its casing to be temporarily replaced with a prosthetic hand. The harpoon line was made of a tungsten steel cable that was capable of supporting 2 tons without breaking. It also was equipped with the ability to carry a powerful electrical charge. The harpoon, made of a high-grade hardened vanadium-titanium alloy, could be made to spin at high speeds and act as a drill, launched at an opponent to entangle them, or to wrap around an object to prevent a fall.
  • Liquid Metal Hand: Later, Orin had found a new bionic hand made by Atlantean technologies that functioned as his normal hand does, it was comprised of liquid memory shape alloy able to change its form in a limited capacity; mainly used to create shielding, armor or various bladed weapons with a direct application of his will.
  • Waterbearer Hand: Given to him by the Lady of the Lake. The hand was magical in nature and possessed various abilities. The waterbearer hand like its namesake suggests, can manipulate vast if not astronomical amounts of water for various means and ends, be it shooting scalding water jets at varying pressures or erecting and splitting massive tidal waves clean in half. He can alter the shape and density of the hand, for example Orin can make his hand into a sword or harder than steel. It can be used to heal injuries and even bring back the recently deceased, allow him to perceive spiritual energies in water, travel to the secret sea, create portals to different realities, and even allow Aquaman to regenerate from injuries if he travels to the Secret Sea mid-battle.
