Aquaman

Created as a commercial comic-book character, Aquaman debuted in More Fun Comics #73 (November 1941). Sources describe him as the son of a human lighthouse keeper and the queen of Atlantis; his civilian name is Arthur Curry and his Atlantean name used in some stories is Orin. Over decades the character has undergone multiple reinventions across Golden Age, Silver Age, Modern, and Post-Crisis eras, including a 1986 miniseries (Aquaman vol. 2) that relaunched the character's mythology and costume.

The character's visual presentation has varied across publication eras and adaptations. Classic comic and animated portrayals established recognizable iconography, while the 1986 Post-Crisis miniseries introduced a new blue costume described in sources as a camouflage suit; that blue suit later influenced film costume design. The provided materials do not supply exhaustive physical descriptors such as height or hair color.

The supplied sources position Aquaman as a sea-associated hero and royal figure of Atlantis who operates within superhero narratives alongside other heroes (notably as a founding member of the Justice League). The notes do not enumerate canonical powers in technical terms (e.g., telepathy with marine life, super-strength), so this entry records only that he functions narratively as an Atlantean-human hybrid and combatant against named adversaries such as Black Manta and Ocean Master; modern portrayals have recast his public image from earlier 'wholesome' portrayals toward darker or more serious tones.
