Aquaman (DC Comics)

Aquaman is a fictional superhero who has been heavily involved in both the traditional DC universe (spanning several decades) and the more recent animated DC universe (which, by in large, inhabits a different canon from the mainstream).

Aquaman is depicted as the ruler of Atlantis with a number of superhuman abilities such as communicating with animals, superhuman strength and limited command over the sea - despite this he is often ridiculed outwith the DC universe for his perceived lack of power (many continually label Aquaman as the weakest superhero ever created).

Despite this continual mockery DC has never given in and has continually placed Aquaman in their products, they have also tried to "toughen" him up in some incarnations - making him a little more like the Marvel anti-hero Namor but in Batman: The Brave and The Bold he is once again softened up a bit (though still far from "weak").
