Aquaman – Arthur Curry of Earth-2

Aquaman… Researching the Unknown Depths….

Origin

Aquaman of Earth-Two is distinctly different from the Aquaman of Earth-One in a few key areas.  This Aquaman has no ties to Atlantis royalty, instead he gained his powers from a series of experiments by his parents, a marine-biologist and an oceanographer.  This Aquaman can breathe under water and talk with marine life, but for the most part that was about it.    His adventures were mostly to educate regarding the mysteries of the depth.

This Aquaman never really became a true heroic figure staying to research and avoiding exploits with the All-Star Squadron or the Justice Society of America.

First Appearance

Aquaman was created by Mort Weisinger & Paul Norris

Powers

Communicate with Marine Life – Aquaman can use his mental powers to communicate with sea life.

Freedom In Water – Aquaman can move through water with no impediment whatsoever which makes him quicker than most other characters.  While he does not have super-speed, his reflexes are extremely quick.

Hearing/Sonar - Aquaman can hear things from a far distance and has demonstrated some form of sonar while in the quiet ocean.

Immunity to Cold – Aquaman’s body is built to survive the cold depths of the ocean, as a result, the chill is not a problem for him.

Super-Strength – Aquaman is super-humanly strong thanks to the ocean conditioning his muscles

Swimming – It seems to go without saying, but Aquaman is a superb swimmer and can move through water faster than many other characters with super-speed.

Telepathy – Due to human kind’s aquatic evolved brains, Aquaman can exert some limited telepathic/mental control over humans but it takes effort.

Underwater Breathing – Aquaman can breathe in water just as easily as we can breathe air on land.

Vision Powers – Aquaman can see in the dark as can most fish at the lower depths.

Withstand Pressure – Aquaman’s body is very dense and built to withstand the pressures of the deep.  This makes his body very resilient to damage.

Vulnerabilities

Fish Out of Water – Aquaman can typically survive out of water for up to 1 hour at a time with no detriment.  He wears a costume that assists him in extending this limit to 1 day, after this Aquaman must have water or he will begin to die.

Skills

Scientist – Aquaman is a highly skilled ocean-biologist.

Equipment

Aquaman possesses access to high level lab equipment of the day in order to do his ocean research.
