Aquaman is a fictional superhero featured in comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by Mort Weisinger and Paul Norris and first appeared in the pages of More Fun Comics #73 in November, 1941. He was originally introduced as Arthur Curry, the human son of an undersea explorer who, through scientific processes, had provided him with enhanced strength, swiftness of speed, and the ability to survive underwater. Later evolutions of the character established that Aquaman was half-humand and half-Atlantean and had the ability to thrive in the ocean depths and communicate telepathically with all sea life. As years went on, further exploration of the character established that he was a true Atlantean whose birth name was Orin, and he was descended from a long line of ancient Atlantean nobles. As Aquaman, Orin is a hero of two worlds - the depths of the sea and the surface world of the air-breathers. He has been a King, a father and a costumed adventurer. He was one of the founding members of the Justice League of America and was the leader of the group's Detroit-based detachment for a brief period.
