Absolute Aquaman when?
>>152555422
>>152555422>Arthur gets captured by deep one lovecraft esque creatures, experimented on, and becomes a soldier human/fish/coral hybrid monster>Manages to escape>Decides to hunt down all the other monster the deep ones created, and eventually destroy them. Fighting a cthulu and become king of the ocean in the processRate my pitch, yes it's basically Godzilla KoM + Kamen Rider
>>152555422I agree, but what would it even be?
>>152555815Probably close to the golden age version in origins.
>>152555893But what's different?
>>152555815the deep sea has always been linked to horror, it would be easy to just go lovecraftian with it but i think thats a little too obvious.
>>152556668Mountains of Madness but underwater.
>>152555815Aquaman, but Absolute
>>152555815Turn him into an actual fish monster
tie him to charybdis
>>152555453“Hey you killed my son, but no biggie.”
>>152555422I LOVE seahorsies!!
>>152558470basically just the aquaman from invincible or like the fish thing from ben 10?
>>152555815For one, his name is gonna be Seaman instead of Aquaman
>>152555422SPLIT YOUR LUNGS IN BLOOD AND THUNDER
>>152555815He's thousands of years old now and can summon these things
>>152555815
>>152555815have him be part of a fish god worshiping cult shadow over innsmonth style
>>152560900>raini think thats the first saibot clone thing i have not heard of.
>>152555815>Born royalty>Childhood hobby is fighting monsters>Turned exile at a young age during a revolution>Washed ashore>Homeless and is surrounded by humans who are repulsed by him >Secret plots humanity's downfall, the massacre of the revolutionaries, and the return of his kingdom>And then he discovers he's half-human
>>152555422I'd rather read Absolut Vadkaman
>>152561286https://youtu.be/5p0QtJMKt1s>"what is this? ice?"
>>152561286The more I think about it, the more it could work. Treat him like he's Ultimate Thor. Some drunk guy that always talks to the ocean and gets arrested. One day, the fish talk back and everyone is shocked.
>>152560836sounds painful
>>152560780>fish thing from ben 10Yeah like that, instead of a man that can talk to fish its a fish that can talk to men
>>152555815The thing about aquaman is that his basic concept is so simple you can pretty much do anything with him to make him different, all of the suggestions given under your comment could be used in a potential absolute version
>>152555815The obvious thing would be for Aquaman to have lost his kingdom, either he lost his seat to the throne to Orm or Atlantis has been destroyed or something else.
>>152555422maybe someday
>>1525556427/10 capeshit should use more of Lovecarfts characters, they all in the public domain and still very popular. Free money, nigga.>>152555815Absolute Aquaman should be a giant shark. Not a humanoid shark or a smart shark, no extra powers, not even a good guy just a giant shark that eats anything that moves and fucks shit up.
He shouldn't be Atlantean royalty, he should just be a nobody that wants to save Atlantis from its corrupt king/queen.
>>152563884
>>152556668There's already a canon abyss full of Lovecraftian horrors plus all the other weird shit in ancient Atlantis..They really don't play up Atlantian Sorcery much though.
>>152564127nice, who drew this?
>>152555815You know The Shadow Over Innsmouth? That but have Arthur be the guy going through a violent crash course of his Atlantian origin and powers. Make the sea scary as fuck and have him deal with the shit in it and the stuff trying to leave or enter it.
how about Absolute Orca instead
>>152555815He's in the desert now
>>152565648That would be a funny mix up for him. Every drop of water now a scarce resource.
Just reprint 90's Aquaman and call it Absolute
>>152561286>>152561351>slowly dehydrates hi,self from all the alcohol>>152565648...Don't ask me where, when or howYou're gonna dry upYou son of a pupYou're in the desert now.
>>152567713That honestly sounds better than it should. An aqua man in a dry desert.
>>152555815Lol I dunno
