=== History ===
Aquaman originated in [[The Golden Age of Comic Books]]. He first appeared in ''More Fun Comics'' #73 (November, 1941). He was created by Paul Norris and Mort Weisinger. In his earliest appearances, Aquaman was also [[Super Strength|strong]] and [[Nigh Invulnerable|durable]] enough to deflect an artillery shell one-handed and outswim a torpedo. His powers were at first said to be [[Charles Atlas Superpower|the result of special training]], but were later described as the result of his scientist father experimenting on him. Rather than communicating with sea creatures telepathically, he could speak with them "in their own language".

* [[Advanced Ancient Acropolis]]: Atlantis.
* [[Already Met Everyone]]: Superboy, anyway, in the Silver Age as "Aquaboy," Earth-One's sole other superpowered superhero during Superboy's time-era. Yes, the Silver Age Aquaman was an active hero longer than nearly everyone else, even [[Batman]].
