What's he even on the team for? His powers are "super swimming" and "talking to fish". I guess if an underwater bank is being robbed he'd be pretty useful.
>>153179103Guy single handedly protects 70% of the Earth's surface and he's the useless one?
>>153179103I think it's weird that he wasn't a main character in Justice League just because they didn't want to "confuse audiences" at the time because there was a major plot point in the TV show Entourage Season 2 that had the main character playing the roll of Aquaman in a fictional adaptation.
>>153179224I heard another reason was because of the traitor plot line
>>153179103If capeshit weren't so awful, he'd actually be pretty important.
>>153179103That's already more going for him than Batman or Green Arrow.
>>153179103Hanna-Barbera's picks for the Super Friends were characters who had had their own show. Pic related came out 10 years before and gave us Black Manta.
>>153179224He's not as big as the Trinity, Flash or GLAnd they chose Hawkgirl to be the 2nd girlSo it would be between him and the Martian. And J'onn is useful in more situations, while also having easily exploitable weaknesses like fire or headaches

>>153179103>trying to force "lol Aquaman is lame" in 2026You're a fucking idiot.
>>153181546It's low effort bait for engagementOP just wants to make an Aquaman thread to talk about him but can't get any interest in it
>>153181570At least try a little bit. A better idea would've been to point out that he's a literal King Arthur. Also, why the fuck does EVERYTHING have to be bait? Why can't people just talk about stuff? 4chan users really are addicted to getting mad.
>>153179103The world is over 70% ocean so pretty much any crime that occurs on the ocean he deals with be it piracy, whaling, smuggling, trafficking, illegal dumping, dolphin porno shoots Aquaman has jurisdiction over.
>>153181593So if someone is fishing without a license will the trouble alert at the hall of justice go off? I'm trying to understand how this works.
>>153180656Shut up
>>153181505>J’onn>More useful in JL-auuughhhhhhhhhh!!
