10 Inappropriate Stories You Won't Believe DC Comics Published

10. Aquaman Falls In Love With A Dolphin - Aquaman: Time And Tide

Aquaman's central love interest is the Xebel queen, Mera. In fact, they were the first mainstream superheroes to get married in a comic book. But Mera is not the first person to win the marine monarch's heart.

That honour belongs to... a dolphin. Upon hearing this premise, you would naturally assume King of the Seven Seas loves this creature as a friend or a family member. But that's not the case.

In the mini-series, Aquaman: Time and Tide, the title superhero details how he was taken in by a pod of dolphins when he was a baby. Most of the group regarded the young Arthur Curry as useless but one dolphin, Nera, bonded with him and promised to look after him. Because Nera was the only one to constantly show Arthur kindness, he developed romantic feelings for her and informed her family, "I want to court Nera."

At first, you may think this is just another typical silly story that were all too common during the 1950s and 1960s. But here's the thing; this story was written... in 1994! And people wonder why Aquaman wasn't taken seriously as a superhero until recently.
