Aquaman

Arthur Curry aka AquaMan is a powerful member of the Justice League and King of The Sea. Much like Wonder Woman, AquaMan can be associated with Greek Mythology with his use of Poseidon’s Trident. The Trident grants AquaMan more powers outside his Atlantean strength like hydrokinesis and weather manipulation over aquatic areas. This power addition is similar with Thor, who also gains additional powers over the elements with his use of his hammer Mjolnir.

In the comic world, there are characters with similar powers like The Flash and Quicksilver, Hawkeye and Green Arrow and AquaMan and Namor the Sub-Mariner. AquaMan and Namor are both half Atlantean, while AquaMan is half human, Namor is half homo superior. This explains Namor’s winged ankles and the ability to fly. Their hybrid forms make them much stronger than Atlanteans. AquaMan wields the stronger Trident than Namor, which is the Trident of Neptune. 

We have seen an early version of an AquaMan with Kevin Costner in Waterworld. Only difference is that The Mariner was not a metahuman, more like the first human who has evolved to perfectly adapt to a planet now covered in ocean water. The vision of an AquaMan will return in the Justice League with Jason Momoa. Will Jason become a big enough feature on the Justice League film to receive his solo feature?
