admonition ! Spoilers forDark Crisis # 1ahead !
In the DC Universe , Aquaman’ssituational world power set has famously will him as a punchline and this lack of regard does n’t convert when theJustice Leagueis down to one member , Black Adam . A confrontation between the Modern Superman Jon Kent and Black Adamperfectly encapsulates this sentiment , register that even other heroes have no problem taking potshots at the Martin Luther King of Atlantis . For all of their might and mettle , Aquaman ’s family of heroes ca n’t quite escape their perceive inefficaciousness on dry Din Land .
Despite being the mogul of Atlantis , Aquaman has often confront derision for his skill set : namely , the ability to breathe underwater and to pass along with and command sea life . Knowing that almost everyone suppose Aquaman is a joke , DC has repeatedly essay to amend his reputation in ways both pernicious ( pointing out the kind of enduringness take to function under the crushing water supply pressure of the sea without a suit ) and overt ( the hook - handed look from the ' 90s ) . Even with Mera and Jackson Hyde bringing hydrokinesis and bioelectricity into the mix , it has been unmanageable for people to recognize Aquaman as anyone other than the hero who talks to fish .
touch on : The New Justice League Ignores the Avengers ' Most Important Lesson
InDark Crisis # 1by Joshua Williamson , Daniel Sampere , and Alejandro Sanchez , Black Adam is recovering from the attack that pass over out the rest of the Justice League . While filling the other hero in on what happened , the new Superman tries to lead the next Justice League consisting of a motley transcription of characters such as Doctor Light , Booster Gold and Blue Beetle , Harley Quinn , Frankenstein , and Jackson Hyde . Black Adam straight off dismisses the batting order and even goes so far as to refer to Jackson Hyde as ' the fish . '
Black Adam is admittedly one of the least kid-glove members to have ever filled out the Justice League roster ; the magnate of Kahndaq is well - known for his brusque and scratchy attitude . However , it ’s telling that Aquaman bears the brunt of his acerbic glossa even when Black Adam is technically paying him a compliment . Even when the Justice League has been destroyed , even when Black Adam begrudgingly acknowledges thatthe Justice League has completely overlook Aquaman , Jackson Hyde ( or any of Aquaman ’s family ) can not escape being ' the fish . '
It ’s risible to see Black Adam put Jon ’s slapdash team in its place . There ’s a retentive chronicle of dunking on Aquaman , and it ’s hard not to chuckle at another joke at his disbursement . However , the Justice League face a dreadful threat in the Dark Crisisand will involve every hero they can muster . If the last survive hoagie of the Justice League ’s old roster does n’t respectAquaman , one of their few remaining powerhouse , the betting odds of them pulling through this Crisis without more casualties are a lot slim .
