Wally West is the fastest man alive. Splattered with lightning-charged chemicals as a pre-teen, he gained super-speed and became the sidekick to the second Flash, eventually succeeding him. Powered by the extradimensional Speed Force, he can not only move at near-lightspeed, but can transfer speed to and from others. He used to be able to vibrate through solid objects, but now doing so causes them to explode. Wally is the only speedster who can travel through time precisely without using external calibration (such as the Cosmic Treadmill).
For most of his solo career, his identity was known to the public. Recent actions by the Spectre have caused the world to forget.

Junior high school student Wally West, president of Blue Valley, Nebraska’s Flash Fan Club, was visiting his aunt Iris in Central City and her boyfriend Barry Allen. Barry offered to introduce Wally to the Flash—in costume, he explained to Wally the accident which gave him his powers, when suddenly it reoccurred, granting Wally the same abilities! Barry took him into his confidence, and made him his sidekick, Kid Flash. Wally was a founding member of the Teen Titans.
Unfortunately, the accident had a slightly different effect on Wally’s adolescent body. He developed a disease which would kill him if he used his speed. A blast of energy during the Crisis on Infinite Earths—the same war in which Barry sacrificed his life—cured Wally of this disease, but left him with a top speed roughly that of sound.
In honor of his mentor, Wally took the name and costume of the Flash. He went through a difficult period of emotional instability during which he used his powers irresponsibly, developed a reputation as a womanizer, and finally sought psychiatric help, As he matured—much of which he credits to his now-longstanding relationship with reporter Linda Park—and learned to fulfill his responsibility, Wally slowly developed confidence and regained his earlier speed.
Finally breaking through his mental block of replacing Barry Allen, he achieved full speed, only to find himself changing into energy. In the midst of a battle for Keystone, he sacrificed his life and his humanity to save Linda—and became the only person known to return from the other side of the speed barrier. Wally now has a direct connection to the speed force, and subconscious knowledge of new ways to use it, including the ability to lend speed to other objects and people (Terminal Velocity and aftermath: Flash #95–101, 1994–1995).
Wally now wears a costume made of concentrated speed force energy. Unable to wait for both broken legs to heal and inspired by a then-recent Justice League case, he gained enough control over the speed force to create a costume which would support him and enable him to run despite his injury (Flash #131, 1997).
Wally and Linda finally married, but Linda was kidnapped from the wedding by Abra Kadabra and retroactively erased from history (Flash #142, 1998). Wally’s sacrifice at the end of “Chain Lightning,” entering the Speed Force to defeat Cobalt Blue, appeared final. He was, in fact, drawn back into reality when Linda escaped her prison outside of time. Trapped alongside her in an alternate reality, battling first a blue-eyed version of himself driven over the edge by his own Linda’s death at the hands of Kobra, then Kadabra himself, he and Linda searched endless alternate realities before finally returning to their own and tricking Kadabra into reversing his spell (Flash #153–158, 1999). Restored to their own world at last, they immediately picked up where they left off, holding the wedding that afternoon.
Several months into Linda’s first pregnancy, Zoom attacked Linda to “teach” Wally about tragedy first-hand. Linda survived, but the unborn twins did not. In his grief, Wally made a deal with the Spectre to make the world forget who he was, hoping that Wally and Linda would be safe from the Flash’s enemies. What the Spectre did not tell him was that he and Linda would forget as well.
Wally and Linda have since regained their memories, though it took time for them to pick up the pieces of their their life and marriage. Miraculously, a time-travelling rematch with Zoom created a “fissure in time” that restored Linda’s pregnancy, just in time for her to give birth to twins Iris and Jai. Children of The Flash, and the new Kid-Flash/a.k.a Impulse, his adopted son; who takes his place as The new Flash.

The Future of Bruce Wayne & Clark Kent:
Terry McGinnis was born in Gotham City on August 18, 2023, by Bruce Wayne and Mary McGinnis, an affair, she had behind the back of her husband, a research scientist at Wayne-Powers and an astronomer at Astro-Tech respectively. By his own admission, he was once a "bad kid." As a former member of a street gang run by youthful racketeer Charlie "Big Time" Bigelow, Terry has his fair share of run-ins with the Gotham City Police while in his early teens, even serving a three-month stint in juvenile hall. Years after Batman is last seen, he finds himself on the run from another street gang, the Jokerz, led by The Joker's son, who model himself after his deceased father, the Clown Prince of Crime. The new villian, known as "Terminal", is the son of Batman's nemisis; The Scarecrow. Terry flees onto the grounds of Wayne Manor, where an aged Bruce Wayne comes to his defense. The strain of the fight places substantial stress on Bruce's heart, and he collapses. Terry helps Bruce into the mansion (not knowing and doesn't discover for quite some time, that Bruce is really his biological father) and gets him his medication; Bruce proceeds to fall asleep afterwards. Before leaving, Terry notices a bat stuck inside a grandfather clock. As he tries to free it he stumbles upon the entrance to the Batcave.
After Bruce scares him away, Terry returns home to find his stepfather murdered, and later discovers that Derek Powers, with help from his son Paxton Powers — has assumed leadership of a merged Wayne-Powers — is responsible. He seeks Bruce's assistance in bringing Powers down, but despite Terry's insistence, Bruce, still shaken from an ordeal years earlier of having relied on a gun for self-defense, maintains that he has given up the cowl. Terry takes matters into his own hands and steals the latest incarnation of the Batsuit. Bruce admonishes him through the suit's communicator, and even shuts down the suit, leaving Terry helpless in a fight. Terry, however, is able to convince Bruce to help him confront Powers, who ordered Warren's death after the latter discovered Powers' plan to mass-produce biological weapons. In the end, Powers, who has been exposed to his own hazardous chemicals, experiences the onset of his mutation into Blight.
Convinced that there is still a need for a Batman, Bruce hires his son, Terry as his "personal assistant" (because Bruce suspects that Terry might be his illegitimate son) and begins secretly training him for his new role as Batman. In addition, Bruce assists Terry in the field primarily by keeping in continual contact with the boy at the Batcave. Beyond the vigilantee duties as Batman, Terry is also Bruce's chauffeur.
After Powers' criminal identity is revealed to the public and he finally brings retribution to his father's killers, Terry decides to continue his role as Batman to make up for his past sins, in hope that his heroic role is his chance at redemption. Despite his role as the new Batman, Terry leads a very different, far less privileged life than Bruce. In addition to coping with his stepfather's death, Terry struggles to keep his secret identity from his mother and younger brother, much like Tim Drake (who settled down, married and has three sons) did during his tenure as Robin in the comics. Because of his responsibilities as Batman, he is not afforded the same licenses the Robins enjoyed and is expected to be on the call whenever he is needed. As a result, Terry is just barely successful at balancing out his dual life, on several occasions prompting both men to reconsider Terry's reliability.
Terry and Bruce develop a respect for each other, with Terry regarding Bruce as a surrogate father. This is demonstrated in the episode "Sneak Peek" (1999). In turn, Bruce treats Terry the same way he treated Dick Grayson (who married his lover Starfire; and has a son, named Nightstar) and Tim Drake (who later returns to being a crimefighter, after being brainwashed by The Joker). In time, Terry grows into the cowl, and Bruce grows to accept him as his heir to the Batman legacy. The Justice League Unlimited episode "Epilogue" reveals that Terry is Bruce Wayne's biological son due to Amanda Waller's "Batman Beyond" project. This twist may be foreshadowed by the Batman Beyond season one episode "Disappearing Inque" when Inque asks Terry, "What is he, your father?" and the season three episode, "Inqueling", when Max notes that Wayne may be more of a "father figure" than Terry realizes. it is also revealed that his brother; Max, may also be in fact, Bruce Wayne's son too (Max would later become the new Robin). When Static, the biological son of Green Lantern, John Stewart is sent 40 years into the future from the time of the Static Shock series, he is forced to work with Terry to rescue future Static from the KOBRA organization. While Terry doubts his abilities at first, he eventually develops respect for Static. Terry also sees the resemblance in both the teenage and adult version.
Terry seems to have rejoined, as later episodes of Justice League Unlimited show him as a regular member (and possibly leader). In the alternate timeline of Justice League Unlimited ("The Once and Future Thing, Part 2: Time Warped,"), Terry fights alongside Static (of that era) and Warhawk, another son of Green Lantern. He was almost killed in the episode, his life was spared thanks to time travel.

This Superboy (The Son of Superman) hails from the parallel Earth known as Earth-Prime or Ultraverse, where Superman and the other DC superheroes only go if they are nearly killed.^[25] Brought over from his dimension by Superman to aid in the universe-spanning battle at the heart of the Crisis, Superboy helps the Earth-Two defeat the Anti-Monitor, the villain who spawned the Crisis. With their home dimensions altered, Superboy, Superman of Earth-Two, Lois Lane and The original Superman; soon have a son of their own: Alex Kent (As featured in the movie "Superman Returns" & The new "Superman" Comic in (2011). Alexander Luthor, Jr. The son of Lex Luthor, together with Supergirl journey to a "paradise dimension", and eventually have a son, who becomes the new sworn enemy of The new Superboy.^[26] In DC's 2006 Infinite Crisis miniseries, Superboy, Alex "Kal-L" Kent and Lois are revealed to have been watching the DC Universe since they entered this "paradise". Unhappy with what they have been seeing, they decide to take action, and return to the post-Crisis DC Universe.

Justice League of America (vol. 2) #31, the consequences the events of Final Crisis had on the team is brought to light. In the aftermath of the deaths of Batman and Martian Manhunter, the group begins splintering. Hal Jordan creates an alternate team that includes Green Arrow, which angers and upsets Black Canary as she is not only Chairwoman of the League, but the wife of Green Arrow. Coupled with Hawkgirl being hospitalized and Roy Harper continuing his relationship with her, he tells Black Canary he just can not leave the team, after learning that she is pregnant with his child, a son. Flash convinces her to stay with Roy, as Keystone City keeps him too occupied as it is. In one last attempt to save the team, Dinah goes to the Fortress of Solitude in hopes of bringing back Wonder Woman and Superman, who are involed in a secret love affair (which would later get Wonder Woman pregnant with Superman's son). Neither can for the time being, with Wonder Woman having obligations to Themyscira, and Superman to the newly emerged New Krypton, although Superman promises to help when he is on Earth. When Superman tells Dinah the best play she can make is to swallow her pride and patch things up with Hal Jordan, who has learned that Kyle Ryner is his son. She leaves the Fortress and calls an emergency meeting of remaining members John Stewart, Vixen, Doctor Light, and Zatanna at The Hall in Washington D.C.. Giving up hope of the League re-uniting at the power level it needs in order to be effective, Black Canary announces that she is assembling a new Justice League of America utilizing the return of Barry Allen & The Spectre, and bringing back together heroes thought to be dead or missing: Tempest & his son- Cerdian, Terry McGinnis & Damian Wayne (The sons of Batman), The New Superboy (The son of Superman & Wonder Woman), Blue Lantern (another son of Hal Jordan), Aquaman and Aquaman II (Aquaman's long lost son: Arthur Joseph Curry/Arthur Jr.), Supergirl, Robin (Tim Drake), Batgirl, Bart Allen (Flash IV-Son of Barry Allen/Original Flash), Nightwing & Starfire, and their son- Nightstar.

Green Arrow &

Speedy

Speedy's first animated appearance was in the Teen Titans segments in The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure. In those episodes, Speedy serves in the effective place of Robin.

Speedy has appeared on the Teen Titans (Animated series), where he is voiced by Mike Erwin. Although his real name is not given, his appearance is clearly based on that of Roy Harper. He is described as employing "a veritable arsenal" of arrows, in a nod to his future persona. While not a member of the main Titans team himself, he appeared as a supporting character in the episode "Winner Take All", and fought Robin, trying to convince him if winning is really that important. Speedy later joined up with the team's sister group, Titans East. As depicted in the series, Speedy is serious and businesslike as in his Arsenal years in comics, leading Beast Boy to comment on his similarities to Robin. However, when he reappears in "Titans East Pt. 1", more of his traditional bad-boy Speedy personality is seen, as he refuses to apologize for buying fish tacos, which offends Aqualad to no end. He was mind-controlled by Brother Blood in "Titans East Pt. 2" but saved by the Teen Titans.

Speedy's bow was broken by Cheshire in "Calling All Titans" when she overpowered him. However, in the episode "Titans Together", Speedy somehow regained possession of his bow when he was freed from his suspended animation.

Speedy appears in the Justice League Unlimited episode "Patriot Act". Speedy clearly states that he is Green Arrow's "ex-partner", and is visually designed as a slightly older, better built version of his Teen Titans incarnation - his costume is the same; he is voiced by Mike Erwin here as well.

Speedy is the name of two superheroes, that have each served as teenaged sidekicks for the Green Arrow (a.k.a. Oliver Queen). The original Speedy currently operates under the name Red Arrow, and is in a relationship with Hawkgirl; who is pregnant with his son, which Speedy plans to name after his Mentor Green Arrow- "Oliver Harper"..

One year after the events of Infinite Crisis, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman reunite in the Batcave to re-form the League in Justice League of America #0, the kick-off for a new series by Brad Meltzer and Ed Benes. They select a number of heroes including Captain Marvel, Power Girl and Cyborg, but eventually wind up with Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Black Canary, Red Arrow (Green Arrow's former sidekick), Red Tornado, Vixen, Black Lightning/Static, and Hawkgirl after a large team-up and fight against Solomon Grundy and Amazo, and decide to stick with the lineup fate has provided rather than the one they chose (an idea similar to the formation of the Marvel Comics team the New Avengers). The three founders built a new headquarters for the team, consisting of two buildings linked by a transporter. The first site is The Hall, located in Washington D.C. at the location of the Justice Society of America and the All-Star Squadron's former headquarters, which was paid for by Batman, designed by Wonder Woman and John Stewart, and built by Superman. For this, John Stewart was elected to the team along with Hal Jordan, giving the team two Green Lanterns.
The Hall, functioning as the League's embassy on Earth, features an extensive collection of rare historical items of significance to the League and its fore bearers, including several pieces of deactivated weaponry and technology from former heroes and villains. The transporter leads both to the Batcave and to the League's new orbiting satellite headquarters in space: the new Watchtower. Black Canary is elected as the first official Chairperson. In issue #10, the Flash (Wally West) is brought back from another dimension, and then inducted into the Justice League. Actor, Dr. Frank V. Beckles, Jr.,(a.k.a "Vic" Beckles) took over the writing job with #13. At the end of issue #15, Firestorm is "invited" to join the League so that someone with his powers, but lack of experience will not be "unsupervised". After the Injustice Gang story arc, Amanda Waller had taken those villains in custody and transported them to Hell Planet without any regard or without anyone's consent. Recently the Key, among other villains, broke into the headquarters of the Justice League.
They surrendered themselves to the League, as a method of seeking safe haven from Waller. They were transported to individual cells on the JLA satellite, where their powers were nullified. Batman has been secretly communicating with J'onn J'onzz, finding out that Waller has been sending villains to this distant planet. Upon notifying the League, they quickly went to the planet to check on the villains. Telepathically communicating with the League in space, J'onn asked for help. Little did the League know, it was Kanjar Ro impersonating J'onn, who then tried to capture the League and extract their DNA. The Justice League quickly disposed of Kanjar Ro and have since stated that they will find out where the villains have been transported to and also to rescue J'onn.
Recently, Flash has been ignoring his calls from the League for help, including a recent fight with the Injustice League. Wonder Woman makes an effort to see why Flash has been ignoring the calls. Wally has been too busy with his children (son and daughter), and defending Keystone City. As Wonder Woman and Flash talk, they confront Queen Bee, who has invaded Earth. Once they prevent that invasion, Flash vows that he will now take all emergency calls from the JLA and even go on Monitor Duty.
Most recently, Libra, an old villain making his return, assembles a brand new Secret Society, claiming that if villains join his society he will fulfill all their wishes. During a routine bank heist, the Human Flame gets confronted by Red Arrow and Hawkgirl (who are involved in a romantic relationship, later concieving a son). After suffering yet another defeat by vigilantes, Libra promises the Human Flame retribution against the heroes. An old battle between the Martian Manhunter and Human Flame has forever angered him against the alien from Mars. Fulfilling his wildest dream, Libra boom tubes J'onn to their headquarters and not showing and compassion, only promised dreams, Libra stabs J'onn with a flaming staff, thus killing him and gaining a new ally in the Human Flame and proving to the other villains that he is serious about his powers.
Red Tornado's soul was once again being transferred into a new robotic shell with the help of Zatanna, Batman and others such as Will Magnus. During the transfer, Amazo's mind has once again re-surfaced and found its way into the new robotic body and is once again wreaking havoc on the League.
When Zatanna and Red Tornado finally resolve the crisis, Vixen goes to seek Animal Man, since he's been affected by similar power fluctuations, and left unable to tap into the powers of Earth-born animals. There, they're both sucked into the Tantu Totem, where, like in Zatanna's vision, they're entrapped in Anansi's net. Anansi, the Trickster God of African folklore, reveals his powers, possibly related to the former hypertime, and how being the king of the stories, he changed Buddy and Mari's personal histories and sources of powers to test them.
In an attempt to keep them contained, Anansi restores them their connection to the Red, but alters the personal histories of the Leaguers, to prevent them from ever founding the JLA. Vixen however escapes, and seeks the new Leaguers to fight Anansi at their side.
After reality is repaired and Vixen regains her powers, the team comes into conflict with a mysterious group called the Shadow Cabinet, when said group attempts to steal the mortal remains of Doctor Light. The Shadow Cabinet is led into battle by an alien named Icon, who is a member of a race known as the Cooperative, which has some sort of diplomatic immunity regarding the justice dispensed by the Green Lantern Corps. During the scuffle, it is revealed that Icon and Superman are actually aware of the true reason behind the Shadow Cabinet's intrusion into the Watchtower. As the melee continues, Hawkman enters and warns both the Justice League and the Shadow Cabinet of the impending threat posed on the world by Shadow Thief. Both groups quickly dispose of their darker selves, which are dark manifestations of each hero's personalities that were created by Shadow Thief, who is ranting that the end of time is near and the Lord requires that he make a sacrifice. When Shadow Thief literally creates a dark duplicate of the moon and sets it on a trajectory to collide with Earth, Superman takes on the the sole responsibility of saving Earth from its impending demise. When Superman flies towards this moon at an incredible speed that is just under the speed of light, his mass increases exponentially and Superman spears this moon, shattering it into millions of pieces. When the League goes into space to retrieve Superman's unconscious body, the Shadow Cabinet escapes with Doctor Light's mortal remains in the chaos and confusion of the moment.
Recently, in the May issue of Justice League of America (vol. 2) #31, the consequences the events of Final Crisis had on the team is brought to light. In the aftermath of the deaths of Batman and Martian Manhunter, the group begins splintering. Hal Jordan creates an alternate team that includes Green Arrow, which angers and upsets Black Canary as she is not only Chairwoman of the League, but the wife of Green Arrow. Coupled with Hawkgirl being hospitalized and Roy Harper continuing his relationship with her, he tells Black Canary he just can not leave the team, after learning that she is pregnant with his child, a son.

Christian Beckles (Vic's son) wrote a three part fill-in story for Justice League of America #34-36.^[6]

Detroit

In 1984, in an attempt to emulate the success of DC's most popular comic at that time, The New Teen Titans, DC editorial had most of the regular members replaced by newer, younger characters. DC also moved the team from its satellite headquarters into a base in Detroit, Michigan. This move was highly unpopular with readers, who dubbed this period of time the "Justice League Detroit" era. The major criticism was that this Justice League was filled with second-rate heroes. Created by Conway and artist Chuck Patton, the team was initially led by Aquaman and featured Justice League veterans Zatanna, Martian Manhunter and the Elongated Man, but the majority of the stories focused on newly recruited heroes Vixen, Gypsy, Steel and Vibe. Aquaman left the new team after only a few issues, and was replaced as leader by the Martian Manhunter. Even the return of Batman to the team in Justice League of America #250 could not halt the decline of the series.^[3] The final issue of the original Justice League of America series, issue #261 by Writer J. M. DeMatteis and artist Luke McDonnell, culminated a story arc involving long-time Justice League enemy Professor Ivo's murders of Vibe and Steel at the onset of DC's Legends miniseries.

Modern incarnations

Justice League International

Main articles: Justice League International and Justice League Europe

The 1986 company-wide crossover Legends featured the formation of a new Justice League. The new team was dubbed "Justice League" then "Justice League International" (JLI) and was given a mandate with less of an American focus. The new series, written by Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis with art by Kevin Maguire (and later by actor Matt Gagston), added quirky humor to the team's stories. In this incarnation, the membership consisted partly of heroes from Earths that, prior to their merging in the Crisis on Infinite Earths, were separate. The initial team included Batman, Black Canary, Blue Beetle, Captain Marvel, Doctor Light (a new Japanese female character, emerging from the Crisis of Infinite Earths, not the supervillain who had appeared previously), Doctor Fate, Martian Manhunter, Mister Miracle, and Guy Gardner; and soon after inception, added Booster Gold, Captain Atom, Fire (formerly known as the Global Guardians' Green Flame), Ice (formerly known as the Global Guardians' Ice Maiden), and two Rocket Reds (one was a Manhunter spy, and one was the son of Adam Strange). The series' humorous tone and high level of characterization proved very popular initially, but writers following Giffen and DeMatteis were unable to maintain the same balance of humor and heroics, resulting in the decline of the series' popularity. New writers gave the storylines a more serious tone. By the mid- to late-1990s, with the series' commercial success fading, it was eventually cancelled, along with spinoffs Justice League Europe, Extreme Justice, and Justice League Task Force.

Milestone Media is a company best known for creating the Milestone & Ultraverse comics imprint, in which Dr. Franklyn V. Beckles, Jr., was the Editor-in-Chief (a.k.a "Vic" Beckles and was published through DC Comics) and the Static Shock cartoon series. It was founded in 1993 by a coalition of African-American artists, actors, sport athletes, and writers (namely Vic Beckles, Hayden Thomas (half-brother), Dwayne McDuffie, Denys Cowan, Adrian Green (now Mrs. Beckles & mother of his children), Fredrick Davis, and Derek T. Dingle) who believed that minorities were severely underrepresented in American comics. Milestone Media was their attempt to correct this imbalance, fighting racism, and feminism.

Rev. Dr. Franklyn Victor Beckles, Jr., participated in the early planning stages of Milestone Media, and was originally slated to become the editor-in-chief of the new company, but bowed out, to be a full-time Church Pastor, and Book Author before any of Milestone's titles were published.

Dr. Franklyn Victor Beckles, Jr., or "Vic The Iceman" Beckles, a co-founder of Milestone and Static's co-creator with Dwayne McDuffie, retained a substantial amount of control over the series' plot and characterization, and wrote several episodes, and establishing Static's real background, as the son of Green Lantern/John Stewart (a fact not realized until Virgil, is a grown man & new leader of the future Justice League (a.k.a "Black Lighting", in 2030; where he fights crime, along side the sons of other legendary heroes like: Batman, Superman, Hal Jordan/Green Lantern II, other children of John Stewart, Aquaman, Robin, The Flash, Green Arrow, and Hawkaman).

Early in the series, similarly to the comics, the setting was explicitly not in the DC Animated Universe (DCAU), and DC superheroes such as Superman were treated as fictional characters, most notably when Virgil once remarked that "even Clark Kent had a day job." However, it later featured guest appearances by characters from other DC animated series, including The New Batman Adventures, Justice League, Batman Beyond (where he teams up with one of the sons of Batman) establishing itself as part of the DCAU. An older version of Static was later featured in a two-part episode of Justice League Unlimited (where he finally discovers that his real father is John Stewart, The Green Lantern, and that his whole life with the Hawkins Family, was just a lie).

Other guest characters have included real-world individuals (voiced by themselves) such as basketball player Shaquille O'Neal, A.J. McLean, Mr. T, Vic The Iceman Beckles, Matt Gagston & Alex Pope of the Star Trek: The Continuum (tv series), and recording artist Lil Romeo, who also performed the theme song used in the final two seasons of the show.

Characters

Hawkins-Stewart family

Virgil Ovid Hawkins/Static (voiced by Phil LaMarr) – The main character of the series, he is a high school student in the fictional city of Dakota. As a result of accidental exposure to an experimental mutagen in an event known as the Big Bang, he gained the ability to control and manipulate electromagnetism, and uses these powers to become a superhero named "Static." Countless others who were also exposed gained a wide variety of mutations and abilities, and Static spends much of his time dealing with these "Bang Babies", many of whom use their abilities in selfish, harmful, and even criminal ways. During his young adulthood, his true family origin, is never revealed to him, because of his mother's bitterness, and hatred toward his real father-John Stewart, so John's borther takes Virgil, as his adopted baby boy, to raise him, and protect him from the dangerous crimefighting life, of the green Lantern. He is named after the first African-American to go to law school (who was himself named for the Roman poets Virgil and Ovid). The name may also refer to Virgil Hawkins, the lead plaintiff in the fight to desegregate the University of Florida College of Law.
Robert Hawkins, John Stewart's Half-Brother (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) – A social worker who runs the Freeman Community Center as head counselor. A widower and the foster father of two teenagers (it should be noted that in the Static comics, Virgil is the illegitimate son of John Stewart; the idea to make Robert, his half-brother the legal guardian was the idea of Kids' WB!, and co-creator Vic Beckles fought to keep Jean alive on the show, to no avail), Robert is a caring, understanding, but strict foster parent. He dislikes gangs and the destructive attitudes of most Bang Babies, and his work at the community center is motivated by a desire to counteract their bad influence on young people. In the episode "Static Shaq", it is mentioned that Robert; like his brother John, has also been in the Marines and a camp counselor. In the episode "Blast from the Past", Robert states that when he was a kid, he was a fan of Soul Power, and still is a fan. In the episode "Linked", it is revealed that Robert and John played football in college, and he was nicknamed "Streak." At first, Green Lantern disliked Static, believing that Static would one day go bad; his open opinion about Static in the episode "Aftershock" left Virgil worried that the Big Bang might have after effects. Robert remained unaware of his foster son's secret identity; as he also, keeps Virgil in the dark, about his true biological father through most of the series, although Static's career as a hero, eventually leads him to the path of uncovering his true heritage, as the son of a legendary super-hero. In the episode "Kidnapped", Robert acknowledged the truth that Virgil, was really, John Stewart's son. In the end, Virgirl forgives Robert, and it is also revealed that Richie/Gear's true family secret, that he was adopted too, and that Richie is really the son of a super-hero, named "Aztec".
Sharon Hawkins (voiced by Michele Morgan) – Virgil's older foster sister, a strong-willed, annoying, but caring young woman, but not related to John Stewart. Sharon attends college, but still lives at home.
Trina Jessup (voiced by Sheryl Lee Ralph) - Robert's new girlfriend, Trina is a policewoman at Dakota Police Department, she is like a second mother for Virgil and Sharon, even if the former has no initial affinity towards her. She didn't discover that Virgil is Static, but indirectly she helps him and Gear, learn and except their true family origins, and continue their father's legacy, as super-heroes, by evetually joining the Justice League, and later teaming up with the sons of heroes like: Batman, Superman, Hal Jordan, Aquaman, Green Arrow, Hawkman, and The Flash...
One year after the events of Infinite Crisis, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman reunite in the Batcave to re-form the League in Justice League of America #0, the kick-off for a new series by Brad Meltzer and Ed Benes. They select a number of heroes including Captain Marvel, Power Girl and Cyborg, but eventually wind up with Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Black Canary, Red Arrow (Green Arrow's former sidekick), Red Tornado, Vixen, Black Lightning/Static, and Hawkgirl after a large team-up and fight against Solomon Grundy and Amazo, and decide to stick with the lineup fate has provided rather than the one they chose (an idea similar to the formation of the Marvel Comics team the New Avengers). The three founders built a new headquarters for the team, consisting of two buildings linked by a transporter. The first site is The Hall, located in Washington D.C. at the location of the Justice Society of America and the All-Star Squadron's former headquarters, which was paid for by Batman, designed by Wonder Woman and John Stewart, and built by Superman. For this, John Stewart was elected to the team along with Hal Jordan, giving the team two Green Lanterns.
The Hall, functioning as the League's embassy on Earth, features an extensive collection of rare historical items of significance to the League and its fore bearers, including several pieces of deactivated weaponry and technology from former heroes and villains. The transporter leads both to the Batcave and to the League's new orbiting satellite headquarters in space: the new Watchtower. Black Canary is elected as the first official Chairperson. In issue #10, the Flash (Wally West) is brought back from another dimension, and then inducted into the Justice League. Actor, Dr. Frank V. Beckles, Jr.,(a.k.a "Vic" Beckles) took over the writing job with #13. At the end of issue #15, Firestorm is "invited" to join the League so that someone with his powers, but lack of experience will not be "unsupervised". After the Injustice Gang story arc, Amanda Waller had taken those villains in custody and transported them to Hell Planet without any regard or without anyone's consent. Recently the Key, among other villains, broke into the headquarters of the Justice League.
They surrendered themselves to the League, as a method of seeking safe haven from Waller. They were transported to individual cells on the JLA satellite, where their powers were nullified. Batman has been secretly communicating with J'onn J'onzz, finding out that Waller has been sending villains to this distant planet. Upon notifying the League, they quickly went to the planet to check on the villains. Telepathically communicating with the League in space, J'onn asked for help. Little did the League know, it was Kanjar Ro impersonating J'onn, who then tried to capture the League and extract their DNA. The Justice League quickly disposed of Kanjar Ro and have since stated that they will find out where the villains have been transported to and also to rescue J'onn.
Recently, Flash has been ignoring his calls from the League for help, including a recent fight with the Injustice League. Wonder Woman makes an effort to see why Flash has been ignoring the calls. Wally has been too busy with his children (son and daughter), and defending Keystone City. As Wonder Woman and Flash talk, they confront Queen Bee, who has invaded Earth. Once they prevent that invasion, Flash vows that he will now take all emergency calls from the JLA and even go on Monitor Duty.
Most recently, Libra, an old villain making his return, assembles a brand new Secret Society, claiming that if villains join his society he will fulfill all their wishes. During a routine bank heist, the Human Flame gets confronted by Red Arrow and Hawkgirl (who are involved in a romantic relationship, later concieving a son). After suffering yet another defeat by vigilantes, Libra promises the Human Flame retribution against the heroes. An old battle between the Martian Manhunter and Human Flame has forever angered him against the alien from Mars. Fulfilling his wildest dream, Libra boom tubes J'onn to their headquarters and not showing and compassion, only promised dreams, Libra stabs J'onn with a flaming staff, thus killing him and gaining a new ally in the Human Flame and proving to the other villains that he is serious about his powers.
Red Tornado's soul was once again being transferred into a new robotic shell with the help of Zatanna, Batman and others such as Will Magnus. During the transfer, Amazo's mind has once again re-surfaced and found its way into the new robotic body and is once again wreaking havoc on the League.
When Zatanna and Red Tornado finally resolve the crisis, Vixen goes to seek Animal Man, since he's been affected by similar power fluctuations, and left unable to tap into the powers of Earth-born animals. There, they're both sucked into the Tantu Totem, where, like in Zatanna's vision, they're entrapped in Anansi's net. Anansi, the Trickster God of African folklore, reveals his powers, possibly related to the former hypertime, and how being the king of the stories, he changed Buddy and Mari's personal histories and sources of powers to test them.
In an attempt to keep them contained, Anansi restores them their connection to the Red, but alters the personal histories of the Leaguers, to prevent them from ever founding the JLA. Vixen however escapes, and seeks the new Leaguers to fight Anansi at their side.
After reality is repaired and Vixen regains her powers, the team comes into conflict with a mysterious group called the Shadow Cabinet, when said group attempts to steal the mortal remains of Doctor Light. The Shadow Cabinet is led into battle by an alien named Icon, who is a member of a race known as the Cooperative, which has some sort of diplomatic immunity regarding the justice dispensed by the Green Lantern Corps. During the scuffle, it is revealed that Icon and Superman are actually aware of the true reason behind the Shadow Cabinet's intrusion into the Watchtower. As the melee continues, Hawkman enters and warns both the Justice League and the Shadow Cabinet of the impending threat posed on the world by Shadow Thief. Both groups quickly dispose of their darker selves, which are dark manifestations of each hero's personalities that were created by Shadow Thief, who is ranting that the end of time is near and the Lord requires that he make a sacrifice. When Shadow Thief literally creates a dark duplicate of the moon and sets it on a trajectory to collide with Earth, Superman takes on the the sole responsibility of saving Earth from its impending demise. When Superman flies towards this moon at an incredible speed that is just under the speed of light, his mass increases exponentially and Superman spears this moon, shattering it into millions of pieces. When the League goes into space to retrieve Superman's unconscious body, the Shadow Cabinet escapes with Doctor Light's mortal remains in the chaos and confusion of the moment.
Recently, in the May issue of Justice League of America (vol. 2) #31, the consequences the events of Final Crisis had on the team is brought to light. In the aftermath of the deaths of Batman and Martian Manhunter, the group begins splintering. Hal Jordan creates an alternate team that includes Green Arrow, which angers and upsets Black Canary as she is not only Chairwoman of the League, but the wife of Green Arrow. Coupled with Hawkgirl being hospitalized and Roy Harper continuing his relationship with her, he tells Black Canary he just can not leave the team, after learning that she is pregnant with his child, a son. Flash convinces her to stay with Roy, as Keystone City keeps him too occupied as it is. In one last attempt to save the team, Dinah goes to the Fortress of Solitude in hopes of bringing back Wonder Woman and Superman, who are involed in a secret love affair (which would later get Wonder Woman pregnant with Superman's son). Neither can for the time being, with Wonder Woman having obligations to Themyscira, and Superman to the newly emerged New Krypton, although Superman promises to help when he is on Earth. When Superman tells Dinah the best play she can make is to swallow her pride and patch things up with Hal Jordan, who has learned that Kyle Ryner is his son. She leaves the Fortress and calls an emergency meeting of remaining members John Stewart, Vixen, Doctor Light, and Zatanna at The Hall in Washington D.C.. Giving up hope of the League re-uniting at the power level it needs in order to be effective, Black Canary announces that she is assembling a new Justice League of America utilizing the return of Barry Allen & The Spectre, and bringing back together heroes thought to be dead or missing: Tempest & his son- Cerdian, Superboy, Blue Lantern (another son of Hal Jordan), Aquaman and Aquaman II (Aquaman's long lost son: Arthur Joseph Curry/Arthur Jr.), Supergirl, Robin (Tim Drake), Batgirl, Bart Allen (Flash IV), Nightwing & Starfire, and their son- Nightstar.
Christian Beckles (Vic's son) wrote a three part fill-in story for Justice League of America #34-36.^[6]

Detroit
In 1984, in an attempt to emulate the success of DC's most popular comic at that time, The New Teen Titans, DC editorial had most of the regular members replaced by newer, younger characters. DC also moved the team from its satellite headquarters into a base in Detroit, Michigan. This move was highly unpopular with readers, who dubbed this period of time the "Justice League Detroit" era. The major criticism was that this Justice League was filled with second-rate heroes. Created by Conway and artist Chuck Patton, the team was initially led by Aquaman and featured Justice League veterans Zatanna, Martian Manhunter and the Elongated Man, but the majority of the stories focused on newly recruited heroes Vixen, Gypsy, Steel and Vibe. Aquaman left the new team after only a few issues, and was replaced as leader by the Martian Manhunter. Even the return of Batman to the team in Justice League of America #250 could not halt the decline of the series.^[3] The final issue of the original Justice League of America series, issue #261 by Writer J. M. DeMatteis and artist Luke McDonnell, culminated a story arc involving long-time Justice League enemy Professor Ivo's murders of Vibe and Steel at the onset of DC's Legends miniseries.

Modern incarnations

Justice League International
Main articles: Justice League International and Justice League Europe
The 1986 company-wide crossover Legends featured the formation of a new Justice League. The new team was dubbed "Justice League" then "Justice League International" (JLI) and was given a mandate with less of an American focus. The new series, written by Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis with art by Kevin Maguire (and later by actor Matt Gagston), added quirky humor to the team's stories. In this incarnation, the membership consisted partly of heroes from Earths that, prior to their merging in the Crisis on Infinite Earths, were separate. The initial team included Batman, Black Canary, Blue Beetle, Captain Marvel, Doctor Light (a new Japanese female character, emerging from the Crisis of Infinite Earths, not the supervillain who had appeared previously), Doctor Fate, Martian Manhunter, Mister Miracle, and Guy Gardner; and soon after inception, added Booster Gold, Captain Atom, Fire (formerly known as the Global Guardians' Green Flame), Ice (formerly known as the Global Guardians' Ice Maiden), and two Rocket Reds (one was a Manhunter spy, and one was the son of Adam Strange). The series' humorous tone and high level of characterization proved very popular initially, but writers following Giffen and DeMatteis were unable to maintain the same balance of humor and heroics, resulting in the decline of the series' popularity. New writers gave the storylines a more serious tone. By the mid- to late-1990s, with the series' commercial success fading, it was eventually cancelled, along with spinoffs Justice League Europe, Extreme Justice, and Justice League Task Force.

THE CHRONICLES OF AQUAMAN & THE CITY OF ATLANTIS:

February 19, 2009

Most of Aquaman's early Silver Age adventures were written by George Kashdan^[4] and Bob Haney, while Nick Cardy took Ramona Fradon's place as the primary Aquaman artist. With Aquaman #40, the writer-artist team of Steve Skeates and Jim Aparo brought new levels of sophistication to the characters and stories. (2010) Reported Hollywood Insider News, word is that a movie is in the works for "Aquaman" and for the success to build a franchise!

Staring Famous Actor Brad Pitt (replaced by actor Charlie Hunnam), as Aquaman,

and Nationally acclaimed Writer/Author/Actor/Director- Vic "The Iceman" Beckles (a.k.a Dr. Frank V. Beckles), as his ultimate nemisis, Black Manta, Elijah Wood as Garth/Aqualad, Dwayne Johnson (a.k.a The Rock) as The Royal Captain of The Guard, Colin Farrell as Ocean Master/Orm, Famed Rapper- "Little Bow Wow", as The New Aqualad, Famous Porn Star Macy Lane as Mera (Aquaman's lovely wife to-be & future mother of his sons) and an all-star cast to portray the other legendary characters of the "Aquaman" Mythos, profiled in the classic comic book series.

It's going to focus on the entire Aquaman comic book saga, and have appearances of other DC Heroes & Villians. It should rival, and might beat the Wolverine & Spiderman Franchises.
The original Aquaman series ended with issue #56 (Mar-Apr 1971). Aquaman was given his own feature again in Adventure Comics #435-437, and #441-452, this time as the main feature in most of these issues. The Aquaman series was restarted with issue #57 (Aug-Sep 1977) and ran until issue #63 (Aug-Sep 1978), when it was finally canceled. Aquaman continued to appear in Adventure Comics #460-466, when his feature moved to World's Finest Comics from issues #262-264, and back to Adventure Comics (for the final time) from issues #475-478. Aquaman appeared in a backup feature in Action Comics which he shared with the Atom and Air Wave in various issues. Throughout this time Aquaman also appeared in various series (such as Justice League of America, The Brave and the Bold, World's Finest Comics, and DC Comics Presents) in partnership with other superheroes.
After becoming king of Atlantis, Aquaman began a policy of slowly reintroducing the once-secretive Atlantis to the surface world. After he was briefly ousted from the throne by the Shark (whom he defeated), he made the decision to leave the throne to become a more traditional superhero, and Dr. Vulko was elected as the new king.

End of an era

In the mid-1980s, after his own feature's demise, Aquaman was briefly made the leader of the Justice League of America. In a storyline told in Justice League of America #228-230, an invasion of Earth by a race of Martians occurred at a time when the core members were missing. Aquaman was thus forced to defend Earth with a League much-depleted in power and capability, and he took it upon himself to disband the Justice League altogether in Justice League of America Annual #2 (1984), thereafter reforming it with new bylaws requiring members to give full participation to the League's cases. With the help of a small number of veteran Justice League members willing to fully commit to the team, Aquaman recruited and trained four new and untried members, also relocating the team's headquarters to a reinforced bunker in Detroit, Michigan after the destruction of the JLA's satellite headquarters during the invasion.^[5] Aquaman's participation in this new version of the Justice League ended in #243 (Oct 1985), when he resigned to work on his marriage with Mera. Subsequently, two of the four new recruits (Vibe and Steel) were killed in action.

Modern Age

After the 1985 Crisis on Infinite Earths limited series, several short limited series were produced in the late 1980s and early 1990s — beginning with 1986's, four-issue Aquaman (Feb-May 1986), featuring Aquaman in a new, largely deep-sea blue, costume. The series was well received and a follow up limited series was in the works, though it was eventually canceled due to creative problems.^[6] This series also expanded on several details of the Silver Age Aquaman's origin as well as Aquaman's relationship with his half-brother, Ocean Master, whose origin was retold in more complete detail. The series also added mystical elements to Aquaman's mythology and reinvented Ocean Master as a sorcerer. Aquaman reappeared in his blue costume in the Aquaman Special #1 (1988).

Retelling origins

In 1989, the Legend of Aquaman Special (officially titled as Aquaman Special #1 in the comic's legal indicia, the second Special in back-to-back years) rewrote Aquaman's mythos and origin, though keeping most of his Silver Age history intact. The special was by writer Robert Loren Fleming, with plots/breakdown art by Keith Giffen and full pencil art by artist Curt Swan.
The Modern Age Aquaman is born as Orin to Queen Atlanna and the mysterious wizard Atlan in the Atlantean city of Poseidonis, was abandoned on Mercy Reef as a baby because of his blond hair, which was seen by the superstitious Atlanteans as a sign of a curse they called "the Mark of Kordax." The only individual who spoke up on Orin's behalf was Vulko, a scientist who had no patience for myth or superstition. While his pleas were to no avail, Vulko would later become a close friend and advisor to the young Orin.
As a feral child who raised himself in the wilds of the ocean with only sea creatures to keep him company, Orin was found and taken in by a lighthouse keeper named Arthur Curry who named Orin "Arthur Curry" after himself. One day Orin returned home and found that his adoptive father had disappeared, so he set off on his own. In his early teens, Orin ventured to the far north, where he met and fell in love with an Inupiat girl named Kako. He also first earned the hatred of Orm, the future Ocean Master who was later revealed to be Arthur's half-brother by Atlan and an Inupiat woman. Orin was driven away before he could learn that Kako had become pregnant with his son, Koryak.
Orin then returned to the seas mostly staying out of humanity's sight, until he discovered Poseidonis. He was captured by the city's then-dictatorial government and placed in a prison camp, where he met Vulko, also a prisoner of the state, who taught Orin the language and ways of the Atlanteans. While Orin was there he realized that his mother was also being held captive, but after her death he broke out and fled. Eventually, he made his way to the surface world, where under the name of "Aquaman" he became one of several superheroes emerging into the public view at the time. Upon his return to Poseidonis he was made the king, and sometime later he met and married Mera. The Modern Age Aquaman's history is nearly identical to that of the Silver Age Aquaman from this point on.

As detailed in the five-issue Aquaman limited series (Jun-Oct 1989) (by the same creative team of the 1989 special of Robert Loren Fleming, Keith Giffen, and Curt Swan), which continued a few of the themes from the Legend of Aquaman Special, Mera was eventually driven insane by grief over the death of Arthur, Jr., and was committed to an asylum in Poseidonis. Shortly afterwards, an alien force conquered Atlantis. Arthur was forced to save the city but was hampered by an escaped Mera who personally blamed Arthur for the death of their son. In a fit of rage, Mera left Aquaman's dimension.
The publication of writer Peter David's The Atlantis Chronicles #1-7 (Mar-Sep 1990), which told the story of Atlantis from antediluvian times to Aquaman's birth, successfully revived interest in the character. Significantly, it was in this limited series that the ancient Atlantean characters Orin (whose name was given as Aquaman's Atlantean name) and Atlan (who was revealed to be Aquaman's father) were introduced.
A new Aquaman ongoing series (#1-13) thereafter ran from December 1991 to December 1992, which portrayed Aquaman reluctantly deciding to remain in Poseidonis as its protector once again. For a time, he served as Atlantis' representative to the United Nations but always found himself thrust back into the superhero role. Becoming more and more of a workaholic and solitary figure, Aquaman eventually returned to the oceans. He soon became tangled up in another attempt by Black Manta to destroy Atlantis by dragging it into a war with a surface nation.
Peter David returned to the character in another limited series, Aquaman: Time and Tide, a 1993/1994 four-issue series which further explained Aquaman's origins as he finally learned all about the history of his people through the Atlantis Chronicles (presented as historical texts passed down and updated through the centuries). Aquaman learned that his birth name was Orin and that he and his enemy Ocean Master shared the same father, "an ancient Atlantean wizard" called Atlan. This revelation sent Orin into a bout of rage and depression, setting the stage for later confrontations between the two, as it was said that "two brothers will also battle for control of Atlantis" (the Silver Age Aquaman had always known that the Ocean Master was his half-brother Orm, although Orm's amnesia prevented him from remembering that fact for some time).

New direction

The 1990s version of Aquaman. Aquaman (vol. 5) #17 (Feb. 1996). (Art by Jim Calafiore.

Aquaman received his own series again with the publication of the fifth Aquaman #1 (Aug 1994), initially scripted by Peter David, following up on his 1993 Aquaman: Time and Tide limited series. This new Aquaman series was the longest-running for the character, lasting until its 75th issue. David left the series after issue #46 (Jul 1998) after working on it for nearly four years.
Soon in Aquaman (vol. 5) #2 (Sep 1994), Aquaman lost his left hand when the madman Charybdis stole his ability to communicate with sea life and stuck Arthur's hand into a piranha-infested pool. This caused Aquaman to become somewhat unhinged, and he soon began having prophetic dreams. Soon after, he attached a harpoon spearhead to his left arm in place of his missing hand. This was the start of an entirely new look: the classic orange shirt was discarded for a gladiatorial manica. Forsaking his former clean-cut appearance, Aquaman grew long hair and a longish beard. After the destruction of the harpoon, Aquaman had it replaced with a cybernetic prosthetic from S.T.A.R. Labs. This new harpoon had a retractable reel that he could fully control.
A major storyline, culminating in #25, concerned the Five Lost Cities of Atlantis. Facing an unearthly invading species linked to the origin of the Atlanteans, Aquaman had to search out and unite the lost cities. This storyline established him as a true Warrior King, and he became a major political power. The remainder of Peter David's run focused on Orin coming to terms with his genetic heritage and his role as a king.
After a brief stint by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, David was replaced as writer by Erik Larsen with issue #50 (Dec 1998). Larsen's work proved unpopular with readers, however, and with issue #63 (Jan 2000) he was replaced by Dan Jurgens, who saw the series through to its cancellation with issue #75 (Jan 2001).
Aquaman rejoined the JLA when it reformed and remained an active member of that team until the Our Worlds at War event, during which Aquaman and the city of Poseidonis disappeared and were presumed to be destroyed. The JLA later discovered that Poseidonis and its inhabitants were taken into the ancient past by a powerful Atlantean sorceress named Gamemnae. The people of Poseidonis were made slaves by their Atlantean ancestors, and Aquaman himself was transformed into living water and imprisoned in an ornamental pool.
After a few months of their time — but fully fifteen years for the Atlanteans — the JLA freed Aquaman in "The Obsidian Age" storyline in JLA #66-75 (Jul 2002-Jan 2003), and Poseidonis and its people were returned to the present by the JLA, though not before Aquaman was forced to sink ancient Atlantis.

What's Happening in Aquaman's Corner of the DCU?

Aquaman is a major character in Brightest Day, and one of the "White Lantern" characters returned from the dead, just like his first son; Joseph Arthur Curry, a.k.a "Arthur Jr.".
Mera has been fighting Black Lanterns and became a Red Lantern to stop the Blackest Night from happening, she may be the mother of The New Aqualad. She is now reunited with Aquaman in Brightest Day, and has rekindled their marriage, and plans to have more children together.
Lorena (The New Aquagirl) has been an active member of the Titans, along with The New Aqualad; and has learned that she is the daughter of The Ocean Master; the evil brother of Aquaman.
Garth (Tempest/Aqualad) was most recently spotted as a Blue Lantern and has rescued his wife Dolphin, and son Cerdian; and plans to fight Joseph Curry, Aquaman's son for the throne of Atlantis.
Joseph "Sword of Atlantis" Curry is in the DC Universe to stay, although he has learned that the original Aquaman is his father, which allows him to become the heir to the Kindom of Atlantis.
Dolphin last appeared in limbo along with her & Aqulad's son, but has been rescued by Tempest; a Blue Lantern with more powers than he has ever had before. And Dolphin later discovers that she is pregnant with Garth's second child.
Vulko last appeared as a ghost advising Joseph-Aquman's son at the Windward Home.
Jackson has been introduced in Brightest Day, first thought to be one of Aquman's many sons; but has been revealed to be one of Black Manta's sons.
Black Manta (a Navy Seal & Green Lantern before he turned to evil & joined forces with Sinestro) is no longer a Villian; and the story about him giving his soul to a demon for powers, is revealed to be a lie, (like Green Lantern/Hal Jordan losing his soul to become The Parrallax), when in fact Black Manta regains his humanity, and is no longer a mutant- and decides to fight for justice, by joining the Green Lantern Corps., and working with his brother John Stewart, as a Green Lantern and fighting The Sinestro Corps.
Atlantis was ruled by Tempest after Mera refused to return to the city, but may soon be ruled by Aquman's first son; Joseph Arthur Curry.

Cartoon Network has confirmed that a new animated series called “Young Justice” based on the 1998 DC comic book series will premiere on the network in the 2010-2011 season. The Warner Bros Animation project follows a group of teens who are the sons & daughters of superheroes that struggle with growing up while proving themselves to be Justice League material.

The team behind “Young Justice” includes executive producer Sam Register (“Batman: The Brave and the Bold”) and producers Greg Weisman (“The Spectacular Spider-Man”) and Brandon Vietti (“The Batman”).

Tempest Quick Bio: Young Garth was abandoned by his own people because of a superstition concerning his unique purple eyes. Befriended by Aquaman, the underwater orphan became his sidekick as Aqualad! Years later, Garth discovered his secret mystic birthright and emerged as the powerful aquatic hero known as Tempest, and later has a son, who becomes the new Aqualad.

The birth of Garth - from TEMPEST #1 [1996]

Garth's origin is retold in TEMPEST #1 [1996]

Royal Beginnings
The Idylists were a group of pacifists living in self-exile from Atlantis in the Hidden Valley for over 4,000 years. They knew no violence; Peace and serenity were their way of life. King Thar came into power and ruled from Shayeris, the Idylist capital city. Thar had inherited much of his ancestor's mythic power, and practiced sorcery alongside his brother, Slizzath. The history of Atlantis is fraught with a recurring theme: brother against brother. King Thar was no exception.
Thar's brother Slizzath thought the power should be his and resented his brother taking it from him. Slizzath was denied his birthright because he dabbled in the black arts by practicing necromancy – the evocation of the dead. He was banished from the Hidden Valley but returned 20 years later with an army of undead soldiers. Fearing his brother's attack, Thar assembled an armory of weapons, specifically designed to stop Slizzath. The Idylists, however, thought Thar was going insane. The peace-loving people revolted, killing their once-beloved king. Fearing the monarchy was tainted by foul violence, the Idylists banished his now-pregnant wife, Berra, who found her way to Atlantis and gave birth to a son - who she named Garth.
Before Thar died, he was able to use his magics to trap Slizzath in an other-dimensional prison. It was, however, an imperfect imprisonment. Slizzath would be able to manipulate particular spells as a means of escape. Such a spell was Garth's birthright ritual - which he would one day perform to seal his mystical powers. Upon giving birth to Garth, Berra gazed upon his purple eyes - the Idylist mark of power. At that moment, her son's destiny seemed clear: Garth would one day perform the very spell that would free Slizzath. Feeling she had no other choice, Berra left her son to die.

Aqualad's fear of fish

Aqualad's first appearance in ADVENTURE COMICS #269

Meeting Aquaman
Miraculously, Garth survived in the ocean depths on his own. As the infant grew into boyhood, he eventually met Atlantis' greatest hero, Aquaman. Befriended by Aquaman, the youth was cured of his fear and became Aqualad, the Sea King's junior partner in crime-fighting. Aqualad possessed abilities which, while not increased by a hybrid metabolism as are Aquaman's, were greater than those of the average Atlantean. Like Aquaman, he could telepathically control and converse with all manner of sea creatures, as well as being able to breathe underwater like all Atlanteans and to swim at fantastic speeds with super-human endurance. Also like his mentor, his sole weakness lay in his inability to remain on land without contact with water for longer than one hour without asphyxiating.
After roaming the ocean depths with Aquaman (while attending school in Scotland by special arrangement), Aqualad returned to Atlantis as a permanent resident when Aquaman married Mera, the queen of an extra-dimensional water-world, and became the new king of Atlantis, and later have a son; which they named Arthur Jr.

Teen Titans Form

Garth meets Aquachick... er, Aquagirl in the pages of AQUAMAN #33 [1967].

A few years later, Robin, Kid Flash and Aqualad joined together to stop the menace of Mr. Twister. It was the first time the sidekicks joined forces.

PRE-TEEN TITANS: Robin, Kid Flash and Aqualad team up for the first time in BRAVE AND THE BOLD #54 [1964]

The second meeting of the teen sidekicks was more eventful: Robin,Kid Flash, Aqualad, now joined by Wonder Girl and Speedy, fought against their mentors, who had been possessed by the evil Antithesis. At this second meeting, the five youngsters decided to become a team and the Teen Titans were born! The sidekicks would continue to operate with their mentors, as well as spending time with their peers in the Teen Titans.
Aqualad eventually took an extended leave of absence from the Titans in order to aid Aquaman in a lengthy quest for Mera, who had been abducted by parties unknown, and to care for the royal couple's infant son in their absence. Aqualad was replaced in the group by Speedy. It was about this time that Garth began dating Tula, who was also known as Aquagirl. This began a long relationship that lasted until Tula's tragic death.
In his absence, the Teen Titans had undergone radical changes, becoming the non-costumed, pacifist participants in the special training program run by Mr. Jupiter. Aqualad rejoined the Teen Titans, only to find himself at odds with their new ideologies, under the guidance of Loren Jupiter. He became an occasional member, helping out with a handful of cases. And as he did participate in the group, he was plagued with an undiagnosed sickness, which was actually a manifestation of an inferiority complex. It seemed Garth felt useless to the team, largely in part due to his one hour limitation away from water. Garth officially resigned from the team shortly before they eventually disbanded anyway.

Garth discovers the truth behind his parents in ADVENTURE COMICS #453-455 [1977]

Truths Buried
After a falling-out with Aquaman, (because of Black Manta's attack on Atlantis, and kidnapping Aquaman's son, Aquaman blamed Garth for not rescuing him in time). Garth decided to search for the truths behind his family roots. Aqualad barged into a meeting of the Idylist ruling council, demanding information about his parents. The council refused to give Aqualad any information as they feared he may learn the truth. Soon after, Aqualad found a banished Idylist hermit who admitted to killing King Thar. Upon seeing a picture, Aqualad immediately recognized Thar as his father.
Aqualad broke through security and accessed the ancient files to learn his parents were King Thar and Queen Berra, who ruled peacefully until King Thar went mad and became hungry for war. The Idylist recorded history made no mention of Slizzath's dark magics; When Garth investigated, the Idylist archives only made mention of King Thar's insanity and the Idlysist's subsequent revolt. Garth also believed he was left to die because the superstitious Atlanteans thought his purple eyes were a sign of inferiority. Garth left believing his mother was dead and his father was indeed insane. He would later discover that this information was false.
Titans Ally & Tragedy Strikes

Aquagirl dies in the pages of CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS #9 [1985]; She is pronounced dead in CRISIS #10.

The next incarnation of the Teen Titans was gathered by Raven, which Aqualad was not to be a part of, although he did assist the team on various cases - including the shattering Crisis on Infinite Earths. During the Crisis, Garth's longtime love Tula was killed. Garth was devastated.
Aqualad remained in Atlantis, and grieved for a long time after the death of Tula. Still, Garth assisted the Titans on various missions. On one such case, Garth was abducted by a then-insane Mento (one of the sons of Black Manta). Mento used his helmet that granted him vast mental powers to inflict psychological torture on Garth. This somehow effected his ability to telepathically control sea life. It did, however, allow him to come to terms with the death of Tula, to some degree.
Garth's marine telepathy would return a short time later, during the 'Millennium/Manhunter' conflict. Following that, Garth remained a close ally of the Titans. When the Titans were attacked and captured by the Wildebeest Society, Garth and Golden Eagle were savagely attacked; Golden Eagle was seemingly slain, and Garth lay in a coma for weeks. Once revived, Aqualad donned a new costume and helped ease the Titans into their next phase under the auspices of the United States government.
Becoming Tempest

Garth's training with Atlan is explained
in TEMPEST #1 [1996]

Garth began to team up more regularly with Aquaman at this time. As the Aqua-allies tried to stave off an alien invasion, Garth was whisked away by Aquaman's father, Atlan, a mage who existed in another dimension. Atlan told Garth his destiny was to become a powerful mage as well. Atlan trained Garth in his dimension, and taught him how to greatly augment his powers. Garth studied with Atlan for a couple of years, although only a couple of months passed in Aquaman's world. Thus, Garth returned a short time after his disappearance (yet aged a couple of years) with new powers, including the ability to control the temperature of water and fire mystical power blasts from his eyes. Garth was also given a new purpose by Atlan, who told him his destiny was to protect all who live in the ocean.
Upon his return, Garth encountered his uncle - Slizzath - who had transformed himself into a demonic sea creature through dark magic. Slizzath sought to escape his mystical imprisonment using Garth as a conduit. Slizzath created a mystical a doppelganger of Tula, who was created to trap Garth and siphon his new powers. Garth saw through the plan and was able to defeat Slizzath, and once and for all maintain a sense of closure about Tula's death. Garth also adopted a new identity as Tempest.
During this time, Garth also discovered his mother Berra was still alive, and living with a group of Idyllists. This forced Garth to confront his feelings of abandonment by his mother, and mother and son began to take tentative steps toward rebuilding their relationship.
Finding Love Again

Garth and Dolphin celebrate the birth of Cerdian in AQUAMAN #63 [2000]

Shortly after this, Garth began a relationship with Dolphin, who was once romantically involved with Aquaman. Initially, Garth and Dolphin concealed their relationship from Aquaman, unsure of what his reaction would be. Eventually, Aquaman learned of their relationship and gave them his blessing.
The Titans later gathered together to save their former member, Victor Stone "Cyborg" (played by Victor Beckles in the movie "Teen Titans"), from alien influence. The original five Titans - including Tempest - decided to re-form the team with five additional recruits.
Dolphin later discovered she was pregnant. Garth was happy at the news and proposed marriage. Garth and Dolphin were married in a traditional Atlantean ceremony with friends and family in attendance. Dolphin has since given birth to a son. Dolphin and Tempest's first child was named Cerdian by Aquaman as a gesture to the surface-country Cerdia, which had recently fallen under Atlantean control.
Meanwhile, Aquaman's long lost son, is trapped in another dimension. But years later, returns to the modern DC Universe, with the help of The Spectre, his memory of his father, and background is altered, and he is brainwashed into becoming the new Aquaman.

Alter ego Arthur Joseph Curry/Arthur Jr.

Abilities Undersea adaptation,
Enhanced physical attributes,
Limited empathic communion with sea life

Arthur Joseph Curry is a fictional character and the long lost son of Aquaman, the returned from the dead DC Comics superhero's son, thought to have been killed by Black Manta, but was hidden in a alternate universe by an entity known as "The Spectre", the boy grew up to become his father's replacement as the new Aquaman. Created by Kurt Busiek and Frank Victor Beckles, Jr., he first appeared in Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis #40 (May 2006).

Publication history
As part of DC Comics' One Year Later event, Aquaman's series was renamed Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis with issue #40 (May 2006). The new developments include a new lead character, a new supporting cast, and the inclusion of sword and sorcery-type fantasy elements in the series.

Fictional character biography
While awaiting transport unknown to him, from an alternate universe, called the "Ultraverse" (where the original Aquaman, Green Arrow, & The Flash has been), to present day Miami, Florida, a young man named Arthur Joseph Curry Jr. Is washed out to sea when a storm ruptures the tank he was in. This Arthur Curry, whose origin closely resembles that of the Golden Age Aquaman as well as that of Neptune Perkins, is the son of oceanobiologist Dr. Phillip Curry, (Arthur Curry's third half-brother). Dr. Curry was forced to lie about Arthur Jr.'s true origin by Spectre, for fear of his threat to kill his kidnapped wife and two sons. Dr. Curry, with the help of The Spectre created in Arthur's mind that he had lived his whole life in the main tank of his father's research facility at Avalon Cay, his only window to the outside world being television.
Shortly after his arrival in the sea, Arthur Jr. Is mentally contacted by the mysterious "Dweller of the Depths", a deformed humanoid with tentacles instead of hair and a left hand made of water. The Dweller urges him to help King Shark, who still bears scars from a previous battle with The Real Aquaman during the recent Crisis. The Dweller, confusing Arthur for Aquaman and calling him his "charge", tells Arthur and King Shark of a prophecy regarding Arthur's future, a prophecy which seems to be a distorted version of the original Aquaman's history. The Dweller reveals that the original Aquaman was "transformed into one akin to another dimension, to return to greatness once again in the future."
Arthur Jr.'s first trip causes him to meet many of Aquaman's supporting characters including Mera, the Sea Devils, Vulko, and eventually Ocean Master (the brother of Dr. Phillip Curry and Arthur Curry- the original Aquaman). During this adventure, the Dweller progressively realizes that he himself is the original Aquaman, who slipped out of the pocket universe, The Spectre had him trapped in, despite having no memory of his former life, being married, and having three sons!
Later Arthur Jr. finds a humanoid squid named Topo, a naive youth attracted by superheroics, seeking to become a sidekick, and Tempest, now the father of a son and twins by his wife, Dolphin, he is unable to breathe water (re-gains all of his powers later) and implanted with a post-hypnotic suggestion warning of an upcoming battle. The Justice League is called in to evaluate Orin's situation, but are unable to determine if he is truly dead, or if he can somehow resurrect himself due to his new magical nature.
In Sword of Atlantis #57, the series' final issue, Aquaman II is visited by the Lady of the Lake who explains his origins. The original Aquaman had given a sample of his water hand to his father in order to resurrect his dead son, Arthur, whom he had named after Orin. When Orin attempted to resurrect Sub Diego, part of his soul attached itself to the body of his son, Arthur Joseph Curry Jr., while Orin's physical form mutated into the Dweller. Blaming himself for Orin's disappearance into the Ultraverse, Aquaman II, vows to never be called "Arthur Jr." again, refraining from using the "stolen" name, asking only to be called Joseph in the future.
Arthur Jr., is considered as a candidate for the new Outsiders by Batman (secretly knowing that he is in fact, Aquaman's son). After seeing him in action with Metamorpho, however, Batman decides against his induction.
In their quest to rid the Earth of all forms of kryptonite, Superman and Batman journey deep below the sea and find a large amount of it. The two of them are met with hostility by Aquaman and King Shark. A brief fight ensues, but eventually Joseph allows them to take what they came for. Before doing so, he points out that not everyone may want Superman to find all of Earth's kryptonite, and that he would have to be at least part human to know that.

Powers and abilities

Orin
Aquaman II, has a number of superhuman powers like his father, and superhuman strength, most of which derived from his father, and from the fact that he is adapted to live in the depths of the ocean. Primary among his powers is the ability to extract oxygen from water, allowing him to 'breathe' while submerged. He is unaffected by the immense pressure and the cold temperature of the ocean depths; further, he possesses an enhanced resistance to injury and superhuman strength (he can easily throw a car hundreds of feet). He is likewise able to swim at very high speeds. He can see in near total darkness and has enhanced hearing. Although he can remain underwater indefinitely without suffering any ill effects, Aquaman grows weak if he remains on land for extended periods.
Aquaman II's most famous (or infamous) power is the telepathic ability to communicate with/command oceanic life. The range of this power is unclear; certainly he can summon sea life from vast distances. Although this power is most often and most easily used on marine life, Aquaman II, has on multiple occasions demonstrated the capacity to affect any being evolved from marine life (e.g., humans), or that lives upon the sea (e.g. sea eagles).
Aquaman II's telepathic abilities are otherwise unrefined but it has been demonstrated on multiple occasions that he can use his abilities to supplement other more skilled telepaths such as J'onn J'onzz. He has also demonstrated classic telepathic abilities like telepathic eavesdropping on people's thoughts, but this ability was displayed infrequently.
After the loss of his hand, Aquaman II, initially replaced it with a cybernetic harpoon that responded to his thoughts and could be fired while staying attached via a retractable line. Later, the harpoon was replaced by a magical hand made out of water given to him by the Lady of the Lake, which grants Aquaman II Numerous abilities, including but not limited to: the ability to dehydrate anyone he touches with it, killing them instantly; to make the hand extremely dense, thus taking Aquaman II, to the ocean floor quickly; to shoot jets of scalding water; healing abilities; and the ability to nullify magic.

Arthur Joseph Curry Jr. (a.k.a "Arthur Jr.")
The new Aquaman has many physical abilities in common with his father, the original Aquaman, including underwater breathing, submarine speed, and superhuman strength. Like the Golden Age Aquaman, Arthur Jr. Can't survive outside of water for long. He also gained telepathic powers. He now speaks and understands the languages of the sentient sea peoples unaided, and has a limited ability to communicate with nonsentient sea life. He cannot speak directly to them as his predecessor could, but can send and receive emotional impressions and desires, such as communicating a need for help. He is working to expand the latter ability, and in one instance has been able to "see" through the eyes of nearby fish. In the motion picture; "Aquaman" (2014), Charlie Hunnam, who beat out Brad Pitt for the legendary role, as Arthur Curry a new "Savior" to the rediscovered lost city of Atlantis in Aquaman... This Aquaman, who will be the Golden Age version of the iconic hero, but will have all the flare and saga of "Aquman's Son" Arthur Curry, Jr., (or Arthur Joseph Curry): based on the 2007 comic book series "Aquaman: The Sword of Atlantis", and the "Young Justice" 2011 cartoon series; this movie series will kick butt, and fans are going to really love it!! AQUAMAN the movie trilogy, will bring back to life all of the characters & core heroes of the Aquaman comic book mythos, and revamp the abandoned "Aquaman" comic book title & reboot the series to a whole new level. Redefining & increasing powers of the legends of Aquaman, Aqualad, Mera, and Vulko as irreplaceable heroes in the DC Universe. The Movie saga will inspire fans, and have all the combination themes of other fan favorite movies like: STAR WARS, (the special effects & magical powers of HARRY POTTER), LORD OF THE RINGS, AND TRON: LEGACY, BATMAN & ROBIN, SUPERMAN, AND THE MATRIX TRILOGY....

MORE FACTS ABOUT THE LEGENDARY AQUAMAN & HIS SON AQUAMAN II:

February 19, 2009

In his early Golden Age appearances, Aquaman had the ability to breathe underwater with the help of gills and superhuman strength enabling him to swim at high speeds. He was also shown to have the ability to communicate with sea-life and have them do his bidding. Initially, he was depicted as speaking to sea creatures "in their own language", and only when they were close enough to hear him rather than being telepathic in nature. While he was often described as the "sovereign of the sea," with the waters of the entire globe his "domain," and almost every sea creature his "loyal subject," the title was never an official one. Aquaman's adventures took place all across the world, and the only base he appeared to have was "an ancient temple of lost Atlantis, kept underwater," in which he kept a solitary throne.^[2] There was also a structure called the "Aquacave", a dry series of caves in which he kept the "Atlantis Chronicles", although it is unclear if this is distinct from the ancient temple, or the same location.^[3]
During his wartime adventures, most of Aquaman's foes were Nazi U-boat commanders and various Axis villains. The rest of his adventures in the 1940s and 1950s had him dealing with various sea-based criminals, including modern-day pirates such as his longtime archenemy Black Jack, as well as various threats to aquatic life, shipping lanes, and sailors.

Silver Age

Starting in 1959, Aquaman's backstory was revised, with various new supporting characters added and several adjustments made to the character, his origins, his powers, and persona.

Aquaman, Mera, and Aqualad, as depicted by Nick Cardy in Aquaman #18, (Dec. 1964).

In Adventure Comics #260 (May 1959) and subsequent Silver Age comics, it was revealed that Aquaman was Arthur Curry, the son of Tom Curry, a lighthouse keeper, and Atlanna, a water-breathing outcast from the lost, underwater city of Atlantis. Due to his heritage, Aquaman discovered as a youth that he possessed various superhuman abilities, including the powers of surviving underwater, communication with sea life, and tremendous swimming prowess. Eventually, Arthur decided to use his talents to become the defender of the Earth's oceans, first starting a career as "Aquaboy" (that also became the name of Aquaman's last son, years later in 2009, after his discovery that his first son; Arthur Jr., whose name was changed to Arthur Joseph Curry, was still alive and protected by The Spectre; was conceived by Mera, after falling in love with him again, and became re-married) and meeting Superboy (Earth's only other superpowered hero at the time) on one occasion (Superboy #171, Jan 1971). When Arthur grew up, he called himself "Aquaman".
It was later revealed (in Aquaman #29) that after Atlanna's death, Tom Curry met and married an ordinary human woman and had a son named Orm Curry, Aquaman's half-brother. Orm grew up as a troubled youth in the shadow of his brother (along with Nathan Hayes, a black navy seal, who becomes "Black Manta"), who constantly bailed him out of trouble with the law. He grew to hate Aquaman not only for the powers that he could never possess but also because he knew that their father would always favor Aquaman. Orm disappeared after becoming an amnesiac and would resurface years later as Aquaman's archnemesis, Ocean Master.
By the late 1950s, Aquaman's ability to talk with fish had been expanded to full-fledged telepathic communication with sea creatures even from great distances, but in Adventure Comics #256 (Jan 1959) he was also retroactively given a specific weakness akin to Superman's vulnerability to Kryptonite or Green Lantern's vulnerability to the color yellow: Aquaman had to come into contact with water at least once per hour, or he would get weak (prior to this story Aquaman could exist both in and out of water indefinitely). This problem was later explained as a characteristic of all Atlanteans. But it doesn't apply to Aquaman anymore, because over the years, he develops new powers and abilities, and discovers that he is involving into a powerful being. More powerful that Superman.

Allies and foes

Aquaman was included in the Justice League of America comic book series, appearing with the team in their very first adventure in The Brave and the Bold #28 (Feb-Mar 1960). He was a founding member of the team, as shown in a flashback in Justice League of America #9 (Feb 1962). Aquaman took part in most of the 1960s adventures of the superhero team.
With Adventure Comics #269 (Feb 1960), Aquaman's supporting cast and rogues gallery began to grow with the addition of Aqualad, an outcast, orphaned youth from an Atlantean colony whom Aquaman takes in and begins to mentor. Adventure Comics #264 (Sep 1959) introduced the submerged fictional city of New Venice, which was later revealed to be based in Florida and which also became Aquaman's base of operations for a time in the early 1980s, beginning with World's Finest Comics #263 (Jun-Jul 1980).
Aquaman continued to appear in Adventure Comics until issue #284 (May 1961), when the feature moved to Detective Comics from issues #293-300 (Jul 1961-Feb 1962), then to World's Finest Comics from issues #125-139 (May 1962-Feb 1964). After four tryout issues in bi-monthly Showcase (#30-33, Feb-Aug 1961), Aquaman gained his own series for the first time with the publication of Aquaman #1 (Jan-Feb 1962).
Aquaman eventually met the Atlanteans and became their ally. He was recognized as the son of Atlanna and later voted to be the King after the death of the former regent, who had no heirs. By this time Aquaman had met Mera, a queen from a water-based dimension, and he married her at the same time he was crowned king of Atlantis, Aquaman #18 (Nov-Dec 1964). They soon had a son, Arthur, Jr. (nicknamed "Aquababy") in issue #23 (Sep-Oct 1965).
The 1960s series introduced other such archenemies as the Ocean Master (Aquaman's amnesiac half-brother Orm), Black Manta (a former Navy Seal, College Professor, and Millionaire-Business Genius, like Lex Luthor), the Fisherman, the Scavenger, and the terrorist organization known as O.G.R.E. Other recurring members of the Aquaman cast introduced in this series include the well-meaning but annoying Quisp (a water sprite); Dr. Vulko, a trustworthy Atlantean scientist who became Aquaman's royal advisor and whom Aquaman eventually appoints to be king after leaving the throne himself; and Tula (known as "Aquagirl"), an Atlantean princess who was Aqualad's primary love interest (she died with the secret of baring his first son, Ethan).

COPIED & WRITTEN BY MATT CHOINAIRE AND EVAN WADE:

Back to basics

2003 series' initial look by Yvel Guichet.

A sixth Aquaman series began shortly afterwards, initially written by Rick Veitch, Matt Gagston, and Dr. Frank Beckles who sought to take Aquaman in a more mystical direction, by bringing back Aquaman's son, Arthur Jr., and re-naming him Arthur Joseph Curry. Subsequent writers who contributed to the series include John Ostrander, Will Pfeifer, and John Arcudi. This series ran from issue #1 (Feb 2003) to #39 (Apr 2006) when it was renamed Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis (see below).
As shown in this next series, The original Aquaman returns and his decision to sink ancient Atlantis caused displeasure among some of the city's citizens, and Arthur Jr. Was once again driven out of Poseidonis. He spent some time in Ireland, where he met the Lady of the Lake, who gave him a new prosthetic hand composed of mystical water with unusual properties. From there he returned to his more traditional look: orange shirt, short hair, and beardless.
Later, Aquaman went to San Diego after a massive earthquake plunged half the city into the Pacific Ocean. He soon discovered that the survivors of the catastrophe were able to breathe underwater and began helping them to rebuild the submerged portion of the city they now called "Sub Diego".
During this time, Aquaman picked up a new sidekick named Lorena, who eventually became the new Aquagirl. For a time, it appeared that Aquaman might reconcile with Mera, as he attempted to take her to the surface in order to save her from the Atlantean mages who had transformed her into an air-breather, they fell in love again, and she concieved another son, so one day Aquaman's rightful heir will take his place at the throne.
Shortly thereafter, during the Infinite Crisis event, Atlantis was nearly destroyed by the Spectre, and many of its citizens were transported to a Pocket Universe, called "The Ultraverse"; where Spectre revealed that his intention was to bring back Aquaman's son, and restore peace and honor to Atlantis, including Aquaman's second son, Koryak and his oldest friend, (and father figure), Vulko. Arthur Joseph Curry (Arthur Jr./Aquaman's son) led the survivors to Sub Diego in the hope that the two displaced peoples could help each other. When Black Manta attacked the sunken city, Aquaman defeated him and left him for dead, he survived; and joined forces with Lex Luthor to destroy Aquaman & Superman, but Black Manta betrayed him and took LexCorp, and he took Lex's woman, made her his lover, and she bore a son; who will later grow up to replace him, as "Devil Ray" (Justice League: Unlimited) and try again to kill Aquaman and his family and fail, because of Aquaman's increasing powers & abilities (simular to Superman), during the course of his life he is rediscovering his aquatic, mystical, and untapped awesome abilities. To become the true "Savior" and Protector of Atlantis...
Aquaman made a brief appearance at the memorial for Superboy in 52. With Aquaman (vol. 6) #40 (May 2006), the series was renamed Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis and taken in an entirely different direction by writers Kurt Busiek, Matt Choinaire, and Vic "The Iceman" Beckles.

The Missing Year

During week 39 of the "missing year" depicted in the weekly comic book 52, Ralph Dibny, seemingly accompanied by Dr. Fate's helmet, meets a bearded, long-haired, and amnesic Orin in the ruins of Atlantis. The helmet portends that "if he lives... if he lives... it is as a victim of the magicks of legend and the power of the sea".
Orin was transformed into the Dweller of the Depths during Week 50 of 52 in the World War III event. In a desperate bid to save the life of several Sub Diego inhabitants who have lost the ability to live in water, Orin makes a deal with the gods of the sea to gain the power to save them. Using the bones of his severed left hand in a magical ritual, the sea gods give Orin the power to raise Sub Diego onto dry land. However, Orin mutates into the Dweller of the Depths as a side effect of gaining his new abilities and loses his memories as a result. He is presumed dead in Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis #50, and his son Arthur Joseph Curry officially becomes the new Aquaman (for only a brief moment in the DC Universe).
The original Aquaman returns to life in his original costume, without a full explanation, in Final Crisis #7. All that is said is that he and his son (along with Garth & his Son Cerdian) was prophesied to return to Atlantis in his people's hour of greatest need (2010).

The A-Team is an American action adventure television series about a fictional group of ex-United States Army Special Forces who work as soldiers of fortune while being on the run from the military for a "crime they didn't commit". The A-Team was created by writers and producers Frank Lupo and Stephen J. Cannell (who also collaborated together on Wiseguy, Riptide and Hunter) at the behest of Brandon Tartikoff, NBC's Entertainment president.
Despite being thought of as mercenaries by the other characters in the show, the A-Team always acted on the side of the good guys and helped the oppressed. The show ran for five seasons on the NBC television network, from January 23, 1983 to December 30, 1986 (with one additional, previously unbroadcast episode shown on March 8, 1987), for a total of 98 episodes.
It remains known in popular culture for its cartoon-like use of over-the-top violence (in which people were seldom seriously hurt), supposedly formulaic episodes, featuring the ability to form weaponry and vehicles out of old parts, and its distinctive theme tune. The show also served as the springboard for the career of Mr. T, who portrayed the character of B. A. Baracus, around whom the show was initially conceived.^[1]^[2] Some of the show's catchphrases such as "I love it when a plan comes together",^[3] "Hannibal's on the jazz" and "I ain't gettin' on no plane!" have also made their way onto T-shirts and other merchandise.
Although not directly referenced in the series, the name of the show comes from "A-teams", the nickname for Operational Detachments Alpha (ODA). The US Army Special Forces uses the term ODA for their 12-man direct operations teams.

Development
Tartikoff pitched the series to Cannell as a cross between The Dirty Dozen, Mission Impossible, Seven Samurai (and its western remake The Magnificent Seven), Mad Max and Hill Street Blues, with "Mr. T driving the car."^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]
Initially, The A-Team was not expected to become a hit, although Stephen J. Cannell has claimed that "[George Peppard] said it would be a huge hit before we ever turned on a camera."^[8] In fact, the show became a huge hit and the first regular episode, which aired after Super Bowl XVII on January 30, 1983, reached 26.4% of the television watching audience, placing fourth in the top 10 rated shows, according to the Nielsen Ratings.^[9]

Characters

The main cast of The A-Team. Clockwise from top: Murdock, B. A. Baracus, Hannibal and Faceman.

Main article: List of The A-Team characters

The A-Team revolves around the four members of a former commando outfit and current group of mercenaries. Their leader is Col. John "Hannibal" Smith (George Peppard), whose plans tend to be unorthodox but effective. Lt. Templeton "Faceman" (usually referred to simply as "Face") Peck (Dirk Benedict — Tim Dunigan appeared as Templeton Peck in the pilot) is a smooth-talking con-man who serves as the team's appropriator of vehicles and other useful items. The team's pilot is Capt. H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock (Dwight Schultz), who has been declared insane and resides in a mental institution for the show's first four seasons. Finally, there is the team's strong man and mechanic, Sgt. B.A. "Bad Attitude" Baracus (Mr. T).
For its first season and the first half of the second season, the team was assisted by reporter Amy Amanda Allen (Melinda Culea). She was ultimately replaced by fellow reporter Tawnia Baker (Marla Heasley) for the rest of the second season. The character of Tia (Tia Carrere), a Vietnam war orphan now living in the United States, was meant to join the Team in the fifth season^[10], but she was replaced by Frankie Santana (Eddie Velez), who served as the team's special effects expert. Eddie Velez was added to the opening credits of the fifth season after that season's second episode.
During their adventures, the A-Team was constantly met by opposition from the military police. In the show's first season they were led by Colonel Lynch (William Lucking), but he was replaced for the second, third and earlier fourth season by Colonel Decker (Lance LeGault) and his aide Captain Crane (Carl Franklin). Lynch returned for one episode in the show's third season ("Showdown!") but was not seen after. Decker was also shortly replaced by a Colonel Briggs (Charles Napier) in the third season for one episode ("Fire!") due to Lance LeGault being unavailable for the episode, but returned shortly after. For the latter portion of the show's fourth season, the team was hunted by General Harlan "Bull" Fullbright (Jack Ging), who would later hire the A-Team to find Tia in the season four finale, during which Fullbright was killed.
The fifth season introduced General Hunt Stockwell (Robert Vaughn) who, while serving as the team's primary antagonist, was also the team's boss and joined them on several missions. He was often assisted by Carla (Judith Ledford, sometimes credited as Judy Ledford).

Casting

In the pilot, the role of Face was portrayed by Tim Dunigan, but he was later replaced by Dirk Benedict, because he was "too tall and too young".^[11] According to Dunigan's own account: "I look even younger on camera than I am. So it was difficult to accept me as a veteran of the Vietnam War, which ended when I was a sophomore in high school."^[12]
Tia Carrere was intended to join the principal cast of the show in its fifth season after appearing in the season four finale,^[10] providing a continuing tie to the team's inception during the war. However, Carrere was under a prior contract to General Hospital at the time, and was unable to join the cast of The A-Team. Her character was abruptly dropped as a result.
According to Mr. T's own account in Bring Back... The A-Team in 2006, the role was written for him from the beginning. This is corroborated by Stephen J. Cannell's own account of the initial concept proposed by NBC Entertainment President Brandon Tartikoff.^[4]
James Coburn, who co-starred in The Magnificent Seven, was considered for the role of Hannibal in The A-Team, while George Peppard (Hannibal) was the original consideration for the role of Vin (played by Steve McQueen instead) in The Magnificent Seven.^[13]

Notable guest appearances

Notable guest stars included:

Wendy Fulton — as Kelly Stevens in "Bounty". Fulton and Dwight Schultz had married a few years before the episode, and the episode plays on the theme of Kelly and Murdock falling in love.
Boy George — as himself in "Cowboy George"
Isaac Hayes — as C.J. Mack in "The Heart Of Rock N' Roll"
Hulk Hogan — as himself in "The Trouble With Harry" and "Body Slam"
Rick James — as himself in "The Heart of Rock N' Roll"
David McCallum — as Ivan Trigorin in "The Say U.N.C.L.E. Affair". McCallum guest stars as a former associate of Robert Vaughn's character General Stockwell. Vaughn and McCallum had co-starred together as friendly American and Russian in The Man from U.N.C.L.E.. The A-Team episode spoofed many aspects of the classic series.

Cultural and social impact, the Saga Continues:

Popularity

The A-Team was one of a wide variety of successful television shows from prolific television producer Stephen J. Cannell. Cannell is known for having a particular skill at capitalizing on momentary cultural trends, such as the helicopters, machine guns, cartoonish violence, and joyful militarism of this series, which are now recognizable as trademarks of popular entertainment in the 1980s as seen in the TV shows Magnum PI and Airwolf as well as the films Rambo II and The Final Countdown. Cannell had been producing shows for ABC in the early 1980s, but was fired by the network for not producing a hit for them. His next project would be The A-Team.
The show became so popular that in 1984 the main cast members of The A-Team, George Peppard, Mr. T, Dirk Benedict and Dwight Schultz were invited to the Netherlands. George Peppard was the first to receive the invitation and thus thought the invite pertained only to him. When the other cast members were also invited, Peppard declined, leading only Mr. T, Benedict and Schultz to visit the Netherlands.^[18] Unpredicted, however, was the immense turn-out for the stars, and they were forced to leave early as a security measure. A video was released with the present actors in which Dwight Schultz apologized and thanked everyone that had attended.^[19]

In syndication

The show has achieved cult status through heavy U.S. and international syndication. It has also remained popular overseas, such as in the United Kingdom, where the show has been on-air almost continuously in some form (ITV network, ITV regional re-runs, satellite) since it was first shown in July 1983.
In 2003, in research conducted by web-portal Yahoo! amongst 1,000 television viewers, The A-Team was voted as the one "oldie" television programme viewers would most like to see revived, beating out other popular televisions series from the 80s such as The Dukes of Hazzard and Knight Rider.^[20]
As of February 2008, NBC has begun posting the first season of The A-Team online for free with the option to download (pay for download). Netflix also has most episodes from seasons 1-5 available for instant viewing. All five seasons are also available for free viewing on Hulu.com.

Merchandise

As well as having huge ratings and being especially popular amongst children, there was countless merchandise available, including action figures of the characters, as well as their famous van and car. A cola flavored popsicle in the shape of Mr. T was also on the market at the show's height. Marvel Comics even produced a three issue A-Team comic book series. Mr. T has also appeared in his own comic books, while a Mr. T graphic novel is set for worldwide release in summer 2008, preceded by a Limited Advance Edition launched in February 2008. Similarly, in the United Kingdom, an A-Team comic strip appeared for several years in the 1980s as part of the children's television magazine and comic Look-In, to tie in with the British run of the series. It was preceded, though, by a short run in the final year (1984) of TV Comic, drawn by Jim Eldridge. A View-Master A-Team gift set, with 3-D viewer and 3 reels containing 21 3-D pictures of the A-Team episode "When You Comin' Back, Range Rider?", was produced by View-Master International.

Cast reunions

Bring Back... The A-Team (2006)

Main article: Bring Back...

On May 18, 2006, Channel 4 in the UK attempted to reunite the surviving cast members of The A-Team for the show Bring Back... in an episode titled "Bring Back...The A Team".^[21] Justin Lee Collins presented the challenge, securing interviews and appearances from Dirk Benedict, Dwight Schultz, Marla Heasley, Jack Ging, series co-creator Stephen Cannell, and Mr. T.
Collins eventually managed to bring together Benedict, Schultz, Heasley, Ging and Cannell, along with William Lucking, Lance LeGault, and George Peppard's son, Christian. Mr. T was unable to make the meeting, which took place in the Friar's Club in Beverly Hills, but he did manage to appear on the show for a brief talk with Collins.

Feature film

A feature film based on The A-Team is planned for release on June 11, 2010, produced by 20th Century Fox.^[22] As of January 28, 2009, director Joe Carnahan is set to direct and Ridley and Tony Scott are set to produce.^[23]^[24] The plot will involve a shift from Vietnam to the Middle East, and both Jules Daly and Stephen J. Cannell are involved in the project.^[25] John Singleton was initially assigned to direct, but in October 2008 he pulled out of the project.^[26]
The film has been in development since the mid 1990s, going through a number of writers and story ideas, and being put on hold a number of times. Producer Stephen J. Cannell hopes to update the setting, perhaps using the first Gulf War as part of the backstory.^[27] The cast has been revealed, Jim Carrey will take on the role of Murdock, while Tom Cruise as Quinton Beck (a.k.a "Face") and legendary Radio-Personality, Wrestler, Pro-Football Player, Book Author, and ex-Navy Seal: Vic "The Iceman" Beckles (also an Ordained Church Pastor) will assume the role of B.A. Baracus.^[28] It also has been rumored that George Clooney is being considered for the role of John "Hannibal" Smith. (2011 release of movie "The A-Team")^[29]

MALIBU & ULTRAVERSE COMICS:
under the leadership of owners and co-creators; Matt Choinaire, Matt Gagston, Alexander Pope, Rev. Dr. Frank Victor "The Iceman" Beckles, and Dwayne McDuffie. Following the success of Image (a studio of comics' top artists each publishing their own book contained in its own mini-universe) and Valiant/Topps/Malibu/Impact/Image Comics (a cohesive universe shared by all the Valiant characters - the model the Ultraverse line aimed to imitate), a number of new universes were launched including Milestone from DC and Comics Greatest World from Dark Horse. While it was not as successful as Image or Valiant Comics, Ultraverse was successful relative to the other universes. They boasted improved production values over traditional comics (especially digital coloring and higher-quality paper), and a roster of respected and/or talented new writers and artists. Following the Valiant Comics formula closely, Ultraverse emphasized tight continuity between the various series in their line, Malibu made extensive use of crossovers, in which a story that began in one series would be continued in the next-shipping issue of another series. Various promotions for special editions or limited-print stories also encouraged readers to sample issues of the entire line. Many fans loved the scope of storytelling this approach allowed; others complained of the effort and cost of buying the issues necessary to keep track of it all. Regardless, the Ultraverse line came to dominate Malibu's catalog.
As sales declined industry-wide in the mid-1990s, Malibu cancelled lower-selling series. The company was purchased by Marvel Comics in 1994 (with Dr. Beckles as part-owner). Reportedly Marvel made the purchase to acquire Malibu's then-groundbreaking in-house coloring studio, and/or its catalog of movie-licensable properties. Others believe that Marvel simply wanted to put a significant competitor out of business. Marvel did not cancell the entire Ultraverse line, but (during the controversial Black September event) Dr. Beckles (now Editor-in-Chief in 1999) re-launched a handful of the more popular titles as well as a number of crossovers with Marvel characters. The "volume 2" series (in 2000) each started with "# ∞ (infinity)" issues and were cancelled a short time later. Within the Marvel & DC Comics multiverse, the Malibu Universe is designated as Earth-93060.

Ultraverse revival (2005-Present)
In June 2005, Ultraverse editor-in-chief Dr. Franklyn V. Beckles, Jr., told an online interviewer that he will revive the Ultraverse Comics industry, and that the "initial structure" of Marvel's contracts with the Ultraverse creators, and partnership with DC Comics entitles them to share the profits made with these characters, making any revival "possible". Some creators have gone on to write for other titles with Dynamite Comics, explain that while the contracts do entitle them to a small percentage of profits, their characters are created as 'work-for-hire' and Marvel's ownership, allows them to write for new titles, including characters based on classic tv or cartoon shows, actors, musicians, and real life heroes.

In March 2005, a new Kojak series debuted on the USA Network cable channel and on ITV4 in the UK. In this re-imagined version, old African-American actor Ving Rhames portrays the character. The series only lasted one season. In May 2012, a new Kojak series will be debuted on the TNT Network cable channel and on ITV1 in the UK. In this re-imagined version, new African-American actor, firefighter, and ex-football great; Vic "The Iceman" Beckles portrays the character this time. Hopefully, the series will last longer than one season. The show was created by Abby Mann, an Academy Award-winning film writer best known for his work on drama anthologies such as Robert Montgomery Presents and Playhouse 90. Universal Television approached him to do a story based on the 1963 Wylie-Hoffert "Career Girls Murders". The crime involved the brutal rape and murder of two young professional women in Manhattan. Due to poor police work and the prevailing casual attitude toward suspects' civil rights, the crimes in the Wylie-Hoffert case were pinned on a young African American male, George Whitmore, Jr., who had been arrested on a separate assault charge. After illegally obtaining a confession, the police had the suspect all but convicted until a second investigation by a different team of detectives exonerated the suspect and identified the real killer, a white junkie. Mann developed the project as a gritty police procedural, but with a subtext focusing on institutionalized prejudice and the civil rights of suspects and witnesses. The result was the 1973 made-for-TV movie, The Marcus-Nelson Murders. The opening and closing titles of the film emphasized the point that it was a fictional account of the events that led to the creation of Miranda rights by the US Supreme Court in 1966. Telly Savalas starred in The Marcus-Nelson Murders as a police detective whose last name was spelled "Kojack." The film would serve as a pilot for the Kojak television series. Kojak himself was a composite character, based on a number of detectives, lawyers, and reporters who were involved in the Wylie-Hoffert murder case.
In 1969, while working on the movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Savalas met Sally Adams. Sally gave birth to their son Nicholas Savalas on February 24, 1973. Gardner filed for divorce from Savalas in 1974, but Savalas and Sally Adams apparently never legally married. In 1977 during the last season of Kojak, he met and fell in love with Julie Hovland, a travel agent from Minnesota. They were married in 1984 and had two children together, Christian and Ariana. Julie and Telly remained married until his death. Christian Savalas is a actor, singer and songwriter. Ariana Savalas is an actress and singer/songwriter. Julie Savalas is an inventor and artist.
Telly Savalas held a degree in psychology and was a world-class poker player who finished 21st at the main event in the 1992 World Series of Poker, as well as a motorcycle racer and lifeguard. His other hobbies and interests included golfing, swimming, reading romantic books, watching football, traveling, collecting luxury cars and gambling. He loved horse racing and bought a racehorse with movie director and producer Howard W. Koch. Naming the horse Telly's Pop, it won several races in 1975 including the Norfolk Stakes and Del Mar Futurity.^[9]^[10]
In his capacity as producer for Kojak, he gave many stars their first break, as Burt Lancaster did for him. He was considered by those who knew him to be a generous, graceful, compassionate man. He was also a strong contributor to his Greek Orthodox roots through the Saint Sophia and Saint Nicholas cathedrals in Los Angeles and was the sponsor of bringing electricity in the 1970s to his ancestral home, Yeraka, Greece.
Savalas had a minor physical handicap in that he was missing part of his left index finger.^[11] This missing digit was often indicated on screen; Kojak episode "Conspiracy of Fear" in which a close-up of Savalas holding his chin in his hand clearly shows the incomplete finger.
