'''Aquaman''' is a [[superhero]] appearing in [[American comic book]]s published by [[DC Comics]]. Created by [[Paul Norris]] and [[Mort Weisinger]], the character debuted in ''[[More Fun Comics]]'' #73 (November 1941).<ref>{{Cite news |title=Happy 70th Birthday Aquaman! |publisher=The Aquaman Shrine |url=http://www.aquamanshrine.com/2011/09/happy-70th-birthday-aquaman.html |access-date=9 October 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111028123352/http://www.aquamanshrine.com/2011/09/happy-70th-birthday-aquaman.html |archive-date=28 October 2011}}</ref> Initially a backup feature in DC's anthology titles, Aquaman later starred in several volumes of a solo comic book series.

The character's original 1960s animated appearances left a lasting impression, making Aquaman widely recognized in popular culture and one of the world's most recognized superheroes.

Aquaman has been featured in several adaptations, first appearing in animated form in the 1967 ''[[The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure]]'' and then in the related ''[[Super Friends]]'' program. Since then he has appeared in various animated productions, including prominent roles in the 2000s series [[Justice League (TV series)|''Justice League'']] and ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' and ''[[Batman: The Brave and the Bold]]'', as well as several [[DC Universe Animated Original Movies]]. Actor [[Alan Ritchson]] also portrayed the character in the live action television show ''[[Smallville]]''. In the [[DC Extended Universe]], actor [[Jason Momoa]] portrays [[Arthur Curry (DC Extended Universe)|the character]] in the films ''[[Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice]]'', ''[[Justice League (film)|Justice League]]'' and its [[director's cut]] ''[[Zack Snyder's Justice League]]'', ''[[Aquaman (film)|Aquaman]]'', the [[HBO Max]] series ''[[Peacemaker (TV series)|Peacemaker]]'', ''[[The Flash (film)|The Flash]]'', and ''[[Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://comicbook.com/movies/news/aquaman-2018-what-do-we-know/|title=Aquaman 2018: What Do We Know?}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=McWeeny |first=Drew |date=June 14, 2014 |title=JASON MOMOA WILL PLAY AQUAMAN IN 'DAWN OF JUSTICE,' AND WE KNOW HOW IT WILL HAPPEN |url=http://www.hitfix.com/motion-captured/jason-momoa-will-play-aquaman-in-dawn-of-justice-and-we-know-how-it-will-happen |access-date=June 14, 2014 |website=Hitfix}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last1=Rebecca Ford |last2=Borys Kit |date=June 16, 2014 |title=Jason Momoa to Play Aquaman in 'Batman v.

==Creation==
Artist Paul Norris spoke on the inception of the character stating, "One day when I had brought in a finished
script to [[Murray Boltinoff]], I was told that Whit wanted to see me...I stopped in [[Whitney Ellsworth|Whit]]’s office. They wanted to start a new feature about a character that lived in the sea.

==Publication history==
Line 53 ⟶ 63:
After a three-year hiatus, Aquaman returned as a backup feature in ''Adventure Comics'' for issues #435–437 before becoming the main feature in issues #441–452. This run transitioned into a revival of the ''Aquaman'' solo series in 1977, resuming the initial run's numbering at #57; however, the series ended after just seven issues with #63 in 1978.
Aquaman once again returned to ''Adventure Comics'' as part of the [[Dollar Comics]] revamp of the series, appearing in issues #460–466 over 1978–1979. When this ended, Aquaman appeared in three issues of ''[[World's Finest Comics]]'' (#262–264) and then returned to ''Adventure Comics'' as the first feature for four more issues (#475–#478) and as a
Aquaman's first Post-''Crisis'' appearance was in the four-issue miniseries ''Aquaman'' (vol. 2) in 1986, which gave the character a new blue costume which did not reappear in any later series. This blue "camouflage" suit, however, was used as inspiration for one of the main suits in the ''Aquaman'' film sequel ''Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom'' in 2023. In 1988 the character starred in the one-shot ''Aquaman'' #1, followed by the ''Legend of Aquaman Special'' one-shot issue in 1989. This was followed by the five-issue miniseries ''Aquaman'' (vol. 3). A new ongoing series, ''Aquaman'' (vol. 4), began in 1991, but was cancelled after 13 issues.
The character was reinvented in the 1993–1994 miniseries ''Aquaman: Time and Tide'', which provided a revamped origin for Aquaman. This was followed by a new ongoing series, ''Aquaman'' (vol. 5), which lasted until 2001 with 75 issues altogether, making it the longest-running Aquaman solo series to date.
Line 63 ⟶ 73:
''[[The New 52]]'' continuity reboot in September 2011 saw the beginning of the ongoing series ''Aquaman'' (vol. 7). A spin-off team title, ''Aquaman and the Others'', also ran for 11 issues from 2014 to 2015. ''Aquaman'' vol. 7 lasted for the entirety of the ''New 52'' era of DC, ending with issue #52 in 2016 as part of the line-wide relaunch ''[[DC Rebirth]]''. The ''New 52'' volume was immediately followed by the one-shot issue ''Aquaman: Rebirth'', preceding the launch of the current ongoing series ''Aquaman'' (vol. 8), which ended with issue #66.
Upon cancellation of Aquaman vol. 8, Aquaman did not have a self-titled release until a digital only series titled ''Aquaman: Deep Dives'' released in 2020. Throughout 2022 Aquaman appeared in both ''Aquaman: The Becoming'', and ''Aquamen'' which saw Aquaman train Jackson Hyde/Aqualad to take over his mantle. However, by the end of 2022, it seemed DC was moving away from this decision as they began publishing regular Aquaman team-up stories again. These included the seven

Following the "[[One Year Later]]" storyline (starting with ''Aquaman'' (vol. 6) #40 (May 2006)), the series was renamed ''Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis'' and taken in an entirely different direction by writer [[Kurt Busiek]]. In this version, Aquaman is missing and presumed dead following the events of ''Infinite Crisis''. A young man with aquatic powers by the name of Arthur Joseph Curry is summoned by the mysterious Dweller in the Depths to take up the mantle of Aquaman, but it gradually emerges that the Dweller himself is Aquaman, having lost much of his memory and been strangely mutated, while gaining magical powers (see the Arthur Joseph Curry section [[#Arthur Joseph Curry|below]]).
These changes were explained later during the "missing year" between ''Infinite Crisis'' and ''One Year Later'' depicted in the weekly series ''[[52 (comics)|52]]'', where Aquaman makes a brief appearance at the memorial for [[Superboy (Kon-El)|Superboy]]. Sometime later [[Elongated Man|Ralph Dibny]], seemingly accompanied by [[Doctor Fate]]'s helmet, meets a bearded, long-haired and amnesic Orin in the ruins of Atlantis. The helmet portends that "''if'' he lives...

During ''Infinite Crisis'', Orin makes a deal with the gods of the sea in a desperate bid to gain the power to save the lives of several Sub Diego inhabitants who had lost the ability to live in water. Using the bones of his severed left hand in a magical ritual, the sea gods give Orin the power to raise Sub Diego onto dry land. However, as a side effect of this, Orin mutates into the "Dweller of the Depths" and loses his memories.<ref>{{Cite comic |Writer=Johns, Geoff |Cowriters=Morrison, Grant, Rucka, Greg, Waid, Mark |Title=52 |Issue=#50 |

In ''[[Blackest Night]]'' #1 (July 2009), [[Garth (comics)|Garth]] returns to Atlantis and tells Orin's wife Mera that he is angry at the notion of Aquaman's body being buried on land. Mera relays to Tempest that Orin felt safe on land and that this is indeed what Arthur wanted.

Garth is killed and joins the Black Lanterns himself. Mera rejects Aquaman's corpse before fleeing. In the climax of the miniseries, Aquaman is among those resurrected by The [[White Lantern Entity]] and is reunited with Mera. The Black Lantern Ring helps reconstruct Orin's body and when he is resurrected, his hand is restored as well.<ref>Johns, Geoff (w), Reis, Ivan (p). ''Blackest Night'' #8 (March 2010).

====''DC Rebirth''/''DC Universe''====
Following the company-wide rebranding in ''[[DC Rebirth]]'' with one focus point to bring back legacy and relationships, Arthur finally proposes to Mera in ''DC Universe: Rebirth'' #1. Aquaman was given an eighth volume of his eponymous series, which started with a one-shot comic book entitled '''''Aquaman: Rebirth''''' #1 (August 2016). This series kept writer Dan Abnett, who had taken over the title for the last three issues of ''The New 52'' and who had previously written the character for a short time a decade earlier. ''Aquaman'' (vol. 8) focuses on Aquaman's role as king and diplomat with Arthur attempting to strengthen Atlantis-surface relationships by opening an Atlantean embassy in Amnesty Bay, with Mera appointed as ambassador. The series largely focuses on the main cast featured in the ''New 52'' series, consisting of Aquaman, Mera, and Black Manta while also fleshing out forgotten side characters such as Lagoon Boy, [[Aquagirl (Tula)|Tula (Aquagirl)]], Black Jack, and others.

{{redirect|Aquaman II|the 2023 film|Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom{{!}}''Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom''}}
'''Arthur Joseph Curry''' is the second [[DC Comics]] [[superhero]] to be known as '''Aquaman'''. Created by [[Kurt Busiek]] and [[Jackson Guice]], he [[first appearance|first appeared]] in ''Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis'' #40 (May 2006). As part of DC Comics's ''[[One Year Later]]'' event, Aquaman's series was renamed ''Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis'' with issue #40 (May 2006). The new developments included a new lead character, a new supporting cast, and the inclusion of [[sword and sorcery]]–type fantasy elements in the series. The character was short-lived, and was not seen much leading up to the revival of Aquaman in the 2010 ''[[Blackest Night]]'' miniseries, and he was not featured in DC continuity at all following its 2011 reboot, ''[[The New 52]]''.
Line 204 ⟶ 213:
Arthur's first trip to Atlantis and the oceans causes him to meet many of Aquaman's supporting characters, including Mera, the Sea Devils, Vulko, and, eventually, the [[Ocean Master]]. During this adventure, the Dweller progressively realizes that he himself is the original Aquaman, despite having no memory of his former life.
Later, Arthur finds a humanoid squid named Topo, a naive youth attracted by superheroics and seeking to become a sidekick and Tempest, who is amnesiac, unable to breathe water, and implanted with a post-hypnotic suggestion warning of an upcoming battle. The foreseen battle soon occurs, during which the Dweller is apparently killed. The [[Justice League]] is called in to evaluate The Dweller's situation, but are unable to determine if he is truly dead, or if he can somehow resurrect himself due to his new magical nature.<ref name="SoA51">{{Cite comic |Writer=Williams, Tad |Title=Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis |Issue=#51 |
In ''Sword of Atlantis'' #57, the series' final issue, Aquaman is visited by the Lady of the Lake, who explains his origins. She explains that the original Aquaman had given a sample of his water hand to Dr. Curry in order to resurrect Curry's dead son, Arthur, whom he had named after the hero. When the original Aquaman attempted to resurrect Sub Diego, a part of his soul attached itself to the dead body of Arthur Joseph Curry, while Aquaman's (Arthur Curry) body mutated into the Dweller of the Depths. Blaming himself for this death, Aquaman vows to never be called 'Arthur' again, refraining from using what he sees as a "stolen" name and asking only to be called Joseph in the future.<ref>{{Cite comic |Writer=Williams, Tad |Title=Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis |Issue=#57 |
Joseph is considered as a candidate for the new [[Outsiders (comics)|Outsiders]] by [[Batman]].

In their quest to rid the Earth of all forms of [[kryptonite]], [[Superman]] and Batman journey deep below the sea, where they find a large amount of the substance. The two of them are met with hostility by Aquaman and King Shark. A brief fight ensues, but, eventually, Joseph allows them to take the kryptonite. Before doing so, he points out that not everyone may want Superman to find all of Earth's kryptonite, but that Superman would have to be at least part human to understand that.<ref>{{Cite comic |Writer=Green, Michael |Title=Superman/Batman |Issue=#45 |
Joseph Curry would continue to be the stand-in king of Atlantis until after the ''Final Crisis'' storyline. It was revealed that Joseph had stepped down from his position due to being unable to deal with the pressure of carrying on the Aquaman legacy. [[Garth (comics)|Tempest]] later finds Joseph's trident and costume draped over a throne, confirming that he had abandoned his duties as Atlantis' king.<ref>{{Cite comic |Writer=Krul, J.
