@5, excellent point. I suspect he'd use his super breath-holding abilities and be REALLY fast about fixing the leak. Or he could just borrow a nuke from Russia and be done with it.
Because Aquaman has one of the quite literally suckiest costumes evah. And the ability to talk to fish is probably one of the stupidest superpowers evah.
At least Prince Namor can fly - through the air - and doesn't go all limp biscuit if he spends more than 5 minutes out of the water.
No comic sells in appreciable numbers anymore. Aquaman comics, like Iron Man comics, are loss leaders for the IP rights.
Aquaman has appeared on TV in one form or another almost nonstop since 1967, starting with his own animated series on CBS (spoofed on Spongebob as Mermaid Man), Superfriends, his appearance on Superman: The Animated Series, recurring appearances on the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited animated series and his current recurring role on Batman: Brave and Bold, where he is voiced by John "Bender" DiMaggio (and funny as Hell).
He's one of the most recognizable superhero characters in the world, and still moves a lot of merchandise, though admittedly nowhere near Spiderman or Batman levels. Mattel must have Aquaman figures in at least 4 different toy lines on the shelf right now...
@17, unlike sealife from the benthic regions of the oceans, Aquaman's Atlantean people are amphibious and can survive at many levels of atmospheric and hydrostatic pressures. Living there didn't give his species their toughness - they are among the last remnants of an ancient magical race able to survive in the deep due to sorcery.
@2: DC is 90% crap. Sturgeon's Law applies. They've done some good stuff. Birds of Prey was usually pretty good in the Simone era. Blue Beetle was a lot of fun.
Of course, Vertigo is the real reason for DC to exist. :P
Also, what does Aquaman drink when he's thirsty? I guess I just don't understand why Chris Farley is such a staunch defender of Aquaman. Hi.

Just sayin'...
To me it seems wrong. Somebody should kick his ass.

The only good version of Aquaman is from Batman: Brave and the Bold.
