    I meant Marvel in an anachronistic way😊 . (He was Timely at the time, but people would know him from Marvel these days.)

    I kinda wanted to defend Aquaman a little bit: I think Aquaman only looks silly from a modern perspective. Back in the day he was a perfectly reasonable character, given the massive success of another underwater hero at the time.

    Of course, all DC superheroes have to deal with the existence of God-like characters like Superman making everybody else look like chumps!

      I’m fine with Aquaman as a hero. But “I’m a normal person who learned to breathe underwater and talk to fish because my dad learned the secrets of Atlantis” is very silly.
