Some divers laid some traps including a giant fruit roll-up that turned invisible to capture the “Aqua boob.” Not sure what Captain Sly had against Aquaman though. And although it was funny watching Aquaman swim into a pane of glass like a stupid fish in a tank, it didn’t seem a terribly dangerous trap. The … Continue reading

Its the Sea Sorcerer! Yikes. Not only could he conjure sandstorms, but he also commanded a fire breathing dragon. Sometimes I wonder if the show writers forgot that the show was set under water because there sure were an awful lot of fire based attacks. I guess at least this time it could be attributed … Continue reading

Surprisingly they are about as scantily clad as their comic book counterparts. Not sure which violet spectrum wielders will appear, but its appears for the … Continue reading

Now I suppose it is about time I addressed the Aquacave. I get it that back in the day many of the superheroes were sort of interchangeable and made from the same mold. Green Arrow was basically a Batman clone, etc. And Aquman was just the ocean guy. Of course all heroes need a headquarters, … Continue reading

Uh oh, Tusky got lost. Then he got attacked by a serpent made of grass thanks to the Sea Scamp AKA Megamind. Aquaman turned the monster into a “tossed salad.” Next, a coral monster struck, but he turned out to not be rock proof.
