Aquaman

 I'll be coming back to this, most likely, once I get my thoughts in order.

Aquaman has had a pretty bad rep, for the last few decades.
And most of the blame falls on the old Superfriends show for making him rather useless.
But a lot of the current blame, I think falls on 3 parties.
Family Guy and Robot Chicken (though I do love Robot Chicken) and the people that see these parodies and don't bother looking at the actual character before forming an opinion.

Thankfully, the show Batman: The Brave and The Bold has done a lot to make Aquaman cool again.

Aquaman has beaten Superman in a one on one fight, without the use of Kryptonite.
And Superman has backed down from a fight with Aquaman on occasion.
And he's beaten Wonder Woman in a fight as well.

And in Aquaman no.29, he beat Martian Manhunter, who was posing as Superman.
He beat Deathstroke (not impressive, considering he's human), while blind (impressive).
The second Aquaman nearly killed Superman, and Batman had to rescue him.

Pretty sure its "For Tomorrow" where Supes actually runs away from a fight with Aquaman.


He can operate at super-human levels while under 16,000psi.
He can swim at approx. 1.75 miles per second, at top speed.
Some sources say he can lift approx. 2 tons, though others report that on average he can lift about 60 tons, but at maximum strength (i.e. maximum hydration) he can lift approx. 10,000 tons.
And has been shown moving an oil rig (not sure how much it weighed but Rigs usually range from 38 - 20,000 tons).
He's been shown throwing a tank (approx 25 tons). He's also been shown lifting a city block.

And at one point his telepathy evolved to allow him to control any creature related to sea-life (i.e. Seagulls) and creatures evolved from sea-life.
Also, his telepathy, which works on more things than fish and was even powerful enough to get into Martian Manhunter's mind undetected.

Just setting the record straight.
