Aquaman (Young Justice)

As King of the Earth's Oceans, Aquaman behaves in a very regal and at times overly formal manner, which can occassionally make him look a bit arrogant. However, he seems to have his soft spots, and will often joke in a subtle manner with his close allies and friends, such as his interaction with Aqualad at prior to their trip to the Hall of Justice.

Aquaman seems to respect the abilities of his protege Aqualad, and even the abilities of his Young Justice teammates. However, he can at times behave patronizing towards them, though not in an intentionally rude manner. Like many of his Justice League colleagues Aquaman also takes the view that the younger generation is not ready to join the League just yet. After Young Justice defeated Blockbuster, he attempted to lecture the youths, ordering them to stand down, and seemed both shocked and perhaps a bit impressed with his own sidekick who refused his direct order.

• Amphibious Nature: Aquaman, as an Atlantean, and the son of a wizard and Atlantean queen, can breathe both water and air, but must return to the aquatic environment at various intervals; this length can be prolonged by the humidity in the atmosphere.
• Enhanced Sight: His ability to see in the murky depths of the ocean allows him exceptional night vision while on land. He has claimed that his eyes are adapted to see at 6,000 fathoms (or 36,000 feet below the surface of the water).
• Enhanced Hearing: Several times more acute than human capacity.
• Enhanced Smell: several times more acute than human capacity
• Superhuman Endurance: Aquaman possesses strength and stamina that allows him to swim up to 150 mph for at least a 4 hour period without significant breaks for rest or recuperation.
• Superhuman Speed: Said to be the fastest thing underwater, he is capable of swimming at a consistent speed of 150 knots (175mph) for several hours. Aquaman can travel at much faster speeds for short "sprints." He has also been seen swimming at 10,000 feet per second. It's unknown how long he can keep up that amount of speed though. With his incredible speed in the water, Aquaman is able to create giant whirlpools.

• Master Swimmer: Aquaman is a master swimmer. Perhaps the greatest there is.
• Expert Combatant<: Aquaman excels at hand-to-hand combat and overall martial ability
• Expert Tactician: He has an advanced strategic sense, and has natural leadership qualities.
• Accomplished Diplomat: His natural autocratic nature does not suit him well in environments where democracy is an issue but Orin is a natural commander and his ability has served him well in the protection of Posidonis.

• Trident of Poseidon
