10 Things Everyone Always Gets Wrong About Aquaman

5. He Is Useless On Land

Aquaman Misconceptions
DC Comics

Aquaman rules the sea from his underwater kingdom Atlantis. This must mean that on land he is virtually useless right? Wrong. Not only has Arthur Curry joined his teammates in battle regardless of the terrain, but has been shown to be an incredibly important asset to the team, even outside of water.

While most get hung up over his telepathic abilities, Aquaman’s ability to survive the crushing depths of the sea, is just as important. While the average person’s body couldn’t possibly endure the massive amounts of pressure at the deepest depths of the ocean, Arthur's can, an attribute that proves to be even more useful on land.

His super durability and super density make his skin virtually bulletproof. He can also withstand what would otherwise be bone-crushing blows, from the likes of Despero, Darkseid, and even Superman on occasion. Arthur has tremendous striking power, and has used this ability to pierce Darkseid’s eye with his trident, go toe to toe with Wonder Woman, and battle the hordes of vicious Atlantean creatures of The Trench. Aquaman also was able to subdue Hercules, the demigod of myth, pretty quickly.

He has super quick reflexes, moving at extreme pace underwater, and is even faster on land, giving him the perfect combination of speed and strength. His rapid reflexes and quick thinking have won him his share of battles as well. With all that in mind, Arthur is not afraid to use these skills and neutralize the threat by any means necessary. No more fish jokes, please.
