Aquaman Origin
The character of Aquaman is played by Jason Momoa, an actor who was in the movie Wolves. Aquaman has the real name Arthur Curry, he is a half-human and half-Atlantean being.
His mother was the queen of Atlantis named Atlanna, while his father was a lighthouse keeper named Thomas Curry. Aquaman’s parents fell in love after Atlanna rescued Thomas from a storm at sea.
Unfortunately, the relationship between the two was not consented to, resulting in Atlanna becoming a prisoner of Atlantis. Until then, Atlanna managed to escape and gave birth to a baby boy on land, the baby was named Arthur Curry.
For the good of Thomas and his son, Atlanna was forced to leave them both and return to Atlantis. Little Aquaman was only raised by his father, without a mother by his side.
The power of Aquaman (Arthur Curry)
Here are the powers that Aquaman has. Aquaman’s main weapon is a spear that can manipulate water. All of Aquaman’s powers are related to water. Here’s the full power.
Physical Strength, Stamina and Super Endurance
Aquaman has extraordinary physical abilities (150x the maximum strength of a normal human), as well as super stamina and endurance.
Nightvision
Aquaman has extraordinary night vision abilities, he can see clearly even at the bottom of the sea or places with minimal light.
Telepathy
Aquaman is able to communicate with sea creatures through telepathy.
Breathing under Water
Like other Atlanteans, Aquaman is able to breathe underwater and on land, withstand water pressure and move at super speed underwater.
Aquaman’s Other Powers
Aquaman is also able to control the water around his body and is able to survive on land longer than a regular Atlantean. In addition, since Aquaman is of royal descent, he has much better abilities than the average Atlantean.
Aquaman’s (Arthur Curry) weaknesses
Aquaman must return to the water within a certain period of time, otherwise his abilities will decrease (weaken). But in DC’s latest film – Justice League, Aquaman does not look weakened. Even though it has been out of the water for a long time.
