[QUOTE="Klaus, post: 1936906, member: 607"] I like the cartoon explanation for Arthur losing his hand better than the comics' (A bad guy named Carybdis plunged Aquaman's hand into a river full of piranha... Wait! Isn't Aquaman capable of withstanding the pressure at the ocean floor?!?) Since then Aquaman had a harpoon installed that he could mentally shoot out (it had a trailing cord). The harpoon then got changed into a cybernetic hand that could change into a harpoon. Then comes Obsidian Age (urk!), and Aquaman is booted off Atlantis for it. He is cursed so that marine creatures automatically attack him, and he has to flee the ocean (urk!!). He is then visited by the Lady of the Lake and is appointed the Waterbearer of the planet, capable of chanelling the Secret Sea (some mystical mumbo-jumbo) through his newfound water-hand (urk!!!). More recently the mystical stuff has been scaled back a bit. In the newest direction, an earthquake sinks most of San Diego, which is renamed Sub Diego (urk!!!!). Thousands die, but some inexplicably develop the ability to breathe underwater, and Aquaman now has to play sheriff in this subaquatic No Man's Land. And he's no longer attacked by fish again. My favorite Aquaman? A mix of the cartoon version, the Grant Morrison version and the Paul Dini version from JLA: Liberty & Justice. [/QUOTE]
