Top 10 reasons why Aquaman rocks.
What's #7 on the list, you ask?
QuoteMany superheroes patrol streets looking for carjackers, muggers and drug dealers. Aquaman regularly guards Earth from the "Night Gods", ancient monsters and demons that try to invade the planet through hidden doorways.
Basically, he fights Cthulhu. Every year at around the same time. And wins.

Not only does Aquaman cry, he cries a LOT! (He's had a rough life.)
That's okay, though. Real men can cry.
And punch Superman's clone with a tsunami made of blue whales.
(Not crying that time, just pissed.)

That said, the "strong as Superman, invulnerable as Superman" line is wishful thinking. True compared to Siegel and Shuster Superman, I guess.
That said: he dominates elder Lovecraftian space gods into submission and makes them cry as they apologize for offending him and crawl into a bag of holding.
(He was reasonably boss before Peter David's run, but David put him to work.)
To put it shortly: Aquaman == Kratos but about 20 times more capable.
Admittedly, not Wonder Woman level. ;) But often more ruthless.

World's Most Useless Super-Heroes #1: Aquaman
http://magus71.wordpress.com/2008/04/09/worlds-most-useless-super-heroes-1-aquaman/
QuoteHis powers are a regrettable mix of silly, useless, and restrained to an environment in which no man lives–except for Aquaman. The only thing his powers may be good for is getting chicks, because we all know how women adore dolphins
...
Actually, what would be better than killing off Aquaman would be to have him go rogue, start jacking cruise liners with armies of Sea Monkeys or destroying the economy of coastal Maine by marching all of the lobsters down to Mexico for spring break. The women he'd score when he marched his horde of lobster onto the shores of Rosarito Beach would boggle the mind. I think Rogue Aquaman would have starfish attached to his belt, that he could toss like shuriken. Only in a pinch of course, otherwise they'd be decorative starfish.
The Justice League comic and cartoon invariably found reasons to include this useless hero in all of the team's escapades. Superman and Batman would be slugging it out with Solomon Grundy and Bizarro, while Aquaman would be scooping hapless and intoxicated sea-kayakers out of the murky waters of the YMCA swimming pool.
And if anyone makes a real movie with Aquaman as the lead hero, I'm calling for a revolution. They rarely get superhero movies right in the first place, and to make a movie about the worst hero of them all would be catastrophic. I know what they'd do too. It would have some sort of Broke Back Mountain twist to it. I guarantee it. The only way they'd get people to go the film would be to throw gayness into it and feed off the sliver of people that will do whatever they can to partake of that which is gay.
That is epic, BC...so damn funny!! And a rogue Aquaman would be cool...still gay, but cool.

(I see what you did there with "rusty", though "crusty" would have made an even better pun == crustacean. ::) )
I don't remember them doing much together, probably for obvious reasons.
Still, with Ollie as the friendly militant liberal of the League, that would have made for an interesting set of stories, since Arthur is necessarily concerned about the environment but protects it in a radically conservative way. (As a king, with armies.)

Goodness. Why, I never.
In this case the intentional intransigence is also rather tasteless: Aquaman was the first DC superhero to marry, have a son, and then have his baby son killed by a supervillain. And that was back in the 70s.
It was later retconned (though still in an insanely tragic way, though in an insanely tragic way that did allow everyone to get better later), and Jr. took over as Aquaman for a while before being killed again (if I recall correctly -- I had stopped reading around that time, as Peter David had just left the series and I didn't care for the stunt of having Jr take over so "Aquaman" could have both hands again and look "like he used to", and the writing tanked back to mediocre.)
Iron Man lost me in a similar manner, when young Tony from another dimension took over - I just thought WTF and gave up on it.

Yes, yes he does. :uglystupid2: (<Wigout emoticon placeholder)
You're old enough to remember the Lich, aren't you? Used to do the, 'Band In Demand,' weeknights and whoever won got like an hour of nonstop tunes. I heard a lot of RUSH, AC/DC, Zeppelin, Hendrix, Allman Brothers, et al that I never hear on the radio now. Of course, that was a lot closer to when they were recording and releasing those tunes, but, still...
And then Sunday nights on WHCN, it was the Comedy Hour at 9 followed by Dr. Demento until midnight. FUCK YEAH!! AWESOME times!!!
Yeah, I remember Lich and Mike Lapitino, along with Stoneman, and Smith&Barber later on. AFA programs, I'm sure you can recall the 'Floyd Void' and the 'Dead Zone' as well. The two other AOR stations, WCCC and WHCN have really fallen far. WHCN went from being 'The Rock' to 'the River', playing mostly pop hits, and WCCC just got sold to a Christian Broadcast Megacorp. it's last day of broadcasting Rock&Roll was last year, on the day before my birthday.
I never realized, until recently, how much of what makes Oldies stations today was all being released as I was growing up. I just thought great music had always existed ;)
CCC carried Howard Stern in the early days. It was my dad what got me into it. Lesbian Dial A Date was my fav.
