The Sorcerer who defeated Cthulhu: 8 proofs of Aquaman's Unreal Coolness

So, "Aquaman" is already on the screens, and they say different things about this movie. We propose to make a verdict on our own and instead of James Wan's work today we will discuss Aquaman as a character. Very undervalued, by the way.

Fans of comics have written hundreds of jokes about him and included him in the list of superhero losers. But Aquaman is great. Moreover, he is one of the coolest heroes of all DC comics. Yes, yes, you heard right. We'll justify it now.

He's an Avatar

In the DC universe, many elements and life forms of Earth are separated by various forces. Each of these forces chooses an Avatar to fulfill its will and keep the world in balance. For example, the Swamp Creature (about it, by the way, a separate series will be released soon) is an Avatar of Green, which covers all plants.

There is also Animal Man, the Avatar of Red, the force behind all animal life. But Aquaman was chosen as the guardian of the Blue (or "Clear"), which unites all oceanic elements and living creatures living in the water. In other words, Arthur Curry (Aquaman's real name) is not just the "King of the Seven Seas", he is a demigod of the sea.

He is a powerful sorcerer

Aquaman can do magic no worse than Gandalf. With the help of Neptune's trident or thanks to the blessing of the Lady of the Lake, Arthur can use many different magic spells, including the ability to cause lightning bolts, open portals and even resurrect people from the dead.

In short, Aquaman is both a physical and magical threat to anyone who stands in his way.

He DOES NOT TALK to the fish, but commands the inhabitants of the sea

Stop thinking that Aquaman is "talking to fish," because that's not the case. He telepathically forces the fish to do His will. Aquaman can also make octopuses grab something, attack enemies with a swordfish, or force a fleet of great white sharks to turn enemies into mincemeat. He can also control the primitive minds of plankton and other microscopic organisms of the sea and force them into the bodies of his opponents.

He controls more than half of the Earth, damn it!

Aquaman is the ruler of the legendary Atlantis and all the reservoirs on Earth. You need to be a very strong leader to not only rule the realm of people breathing water, but also own 71% of the Earth's surface covered with water.

His Neptune Trident is a powerful weapon

Although Momoa broke the trident at the premiere, but we all understand perfectly well that it was just a prop. The real Trident of Neptune not only gives Aquaman the right to control the sea, but can also summon lightning, create force fields and perform other magical tasks. Plus, they can banally stab someone.

It is bulletproof and almost invulnerable

According to the DC Wikipedia (yes, there is one), Aquaman's body is strong enough to stay strong and not be flattened under more than nine kilometers of water. No wonder that, having such a strong body, the guy wanted to sneeze at bullets.

Although he is not omnipotent, in the comics Aquaman often stood in battles with God-like creatures that can easily turn an ordinary person into clam soup.

He is one of the founders of the Justice League

In almost every original comic about the origins of the Justice League, Aquaman is among its founders. Considering his royal status and strength, there is nothing strange about this at all.

He fights Cthulhu every year... and always wins

Every year Aquaman has to protect the Earth from an apocalyptic nightmare that is trying to take over this dimension. To prevent a worldwide panic, few people know about this duty of Aquaman, except for some of his closest allies. Despite this, Aquaman successfully defeats this elder God over and over again.

And if that's not enough for you, then we don't even know who can please you!
