''[[Trope Codifier|The]]'' [[Our Mermaids Are Different|Aquatic]] [[Superhero]].
'''Aquaman''' (AKA Arthur Curry AKA Orin) is a [[DC Comics]] [[Superhero]] with water-based powers. He's probably [[Ink Stain Adaptation|best known for his]] ''[[Superfriends]]'' appearances, the [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|lame nature]] of that version's powers and the fact that he is in practically every episode, whether this makes sense or not ("What's that? Trouble in the desert? Come on team, we haven't a moment to lose! And let's bring Aquaman with us; his ability to breathe underwater and talk to fish are ''sure'' to be useful there!"). In essence, having him take part in anything whatsoever was sort of the super-powered equivalent to [[Pity Sex]].
Said [[Superfriends]] persona also appears in a [[Needs More Love|highly-unknown]] ([[No Export for You|only released in]] [[Latin America]]) official parody series called [[Aquaman and Friends Action Hour]], which resembles [[Space Ghost Coast to Coast]].

* [[This Looks Like a Job For Aquaman]]: the [[Trope Namer]], most noticeable in the ''Superfriends'' cartoon.
{{tropelist}}
* [[A Nazi by Any Other Name]]: Atlanteans, [[Punctuated! For! Emphasis!|In SPADES]]. No matter how they preach about wanting nothing to do with the surface world, it always boils down to them returning to [[Kill All Humans]] and/or anyone in their society with [[Hates Everyone Equally|marine life deformities]] somewhere down the line given their unstable and flimsy way of life. {{spoiler|It is any wonder how they survived themselves for ass long as they did}}. Either thinking they are [[Entitled Bastard|at liberty]] to retake a world they'ed long since abandoned. Or are simply a prideful, narcissistic and war mongering sort with a fascist hatred of anything not of they're culture.
Line 153 ⟶ 152:
* [[Required Secondary Powers]]: Due to being adapted for life deep underwater as well as dry land Aquaman has basically won the [[Superpower Lottery]]: He's strong and tough to the point where he can lift around 20 tons, has several [[Super Senses]], is very fast, and his telepathic abilities are as strong as (if not stronger than) the [[Martian Manhunter]].
** Aquaman is actually far above twenty tons, both in and out of water. And he's even admitted J'onn is the more powerful telepath
* [[Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves]]: Happens often in this series given how many times Atlantis's [[Ungrateful Townsfolk|idiot citizenship]] betray Aquaman and put some [[Tyrant Takes the Helm|worthless asshat]] on the seat of crown
* [[Rogues Gallery Transplant]]: The Shark and King Shark started out menacing Green Lantern and [[Superboy]], respectively.
* [[Running Gag]]: Aquaman's love of hot dogs. This led to a hilarious moment when he was forced to see a doctor for an unrelated issue, and told he should be eating more fish.
