Aquaman has always been badass and imposing. But I didn't like his design in this movie too much.

Fixed. Aquaman is so lame that he makes his own sidekick look 10x more badass.

The only exception to this that I'll accept is the Justice League version:

What? Aquaman has always been awesome. He hasn't been lame since the Super Friends.

Anyway, Aquaman's design in Flashpoint was too beefcake for my tastes.

The only time Aquaman was awesome to me was in Brave and the bold.

Yeah, Aquaman was just screwed over by a crappy cartoon from the 70s.

Hell, in Brave and the Bold, he came across as a very competent ham who loved his job so much that he made himself a theme song.

I liked him to they embraced his lame side and made him enjoyable to watch. Aquaman just isn't interesting usually. It's like Superman underwater edition except he varies from noble king to overly joyous hero.

Like Linkara said, Aquaman is the king of atlantis, ruler of an entire armad capable of destroying the surface dwellers in minutes if he choosed so. He can control life sea at will, the guy is able to survive in the bottom of the sea, in places that no human made machine has ever been able to reach due to the incredible high pressures.

This means that he is super strong, super resistant, has perfect night vision and super-hearing amongst many other skills that make Aquaman one of the most dangerous living being both in the sea and in the earth.

People make fun of him because the Superfriends show treated him like garbage. Not because he's useless, guy has always been and will always be a complete and utter badass.


Plus he rides a Goddamn Giant Seahorse!!!!!

Yeah it didn't work for him.

Aquaman has a cavalcade of superpowers and abilities that makes me wonder why people think he's useless.
Super strength, super speed, night vision, echolocation and super hearing, extreme durability, and he's able to breathe on both land and underwater.
Additionally, he has control of all sea and ocean life, regardless of size (Also, very rarely, but it's happened, some comics extend that ability to control and influence humans because of evolution).
He also commands an army as ruler of Atlantis, in addition to being an incredibly intelligent strategist and combatant, both hand to hand and with his signature trident.
And he owns a jetski.

The entire point of Aquaman in Flashpoint is to show that he could literally dominate the world if he wasn't on the side of good.
But you all view him based on a cartoon you've never seen and a one note Family Guy joke.

It's because most people think that his only superpower is breathing underwater, which is completely wrong and would be way too stupid.
