King Arthur Curry, also known as Aquaman, is a superhero from DC Comics. He appeared in the 104th episode and Season 6 Premiere of Death Battle, Aquaman VS Namor, where he fought against Namor the Sub-Mariner from Marvel Comics.
History
Arthur Curry was born to lighthouse keeper Thomas Curry and the queen of Atlantis, Atlanna. As he grew older, Arthur discovered he had unique superhuman abilities thanks to his Atlantean heritage. Through self-discovery, experimentation, and some teachings from his father, Arthur fine-tuned a good many of these gifts from swift swimming to communicating with marine life. When he became a young man, his long-lost mother appeared before him, revealing to him his lineage. This would be the day he would return beneath the waves and claim his destiny as the king of Atlantis. Through various trials and tribulations, Arthur became a respected figure, becoming a superhero known to the public as "Aquaman", as well as a founding member of the Justice League. But no matter where he stands, Aquaman will always be fighting to maintain the balance between the world above and beneath the sea.
