- 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. ~hiya gang, how goes it ? warm and away from snow i hope. well here's my newest project.i`ve made a few attempts at this character using premade files.but this time i decided to create my own from scratch.i did stay away from the `traditional` look he has in the comics and other works just so i could morph a new look for him.still workin on the texturing for future use but i'm much happier with this version. enjoy and as always *till he dragon flies again,hugs and regards* lee
