10 Terrible Moments Featured In DC Comics' The New 52

10. Aquaman “Claims” Mera

There were not a lot of positives about the entire arc of the Convergence storyline. Brainiac had taken cities and heroes from various timelines and left them on a planet and then abandoned it. In Convergence: Justice League #1, Jesse Chambers has gone into labor at her baby shower and Zatanna, Vixen, and Jade hurry her to the hospital just as a dome goes up, robbing them of all their powers.

For a year, the heroes live regular lives but their friend and former Atlantean princess Mera was having trouble dealing with life as a land dweller. Just then, the doom fell and Tellos tells the cities that they must fight. A different Aquaman from the Flashpoint timeline sees a Mera like the one he lost and decides he must have her. Supergirl spots Mera being dragged away by Atlanteans who call forth a Kraken to block their escape.

Mera is brought before an Arthur that she knows is not hers. He forced a kiss on her and she punched him in the mouth. He said that he hoped in time that she could forget their differences and embrace each other. When she said that her friends would come for her, Aquaman laughed and said he welcomed all challenges.
