Well, Paz is clearly gonna save the day.
Especially since she can talk to Lindsey in the first place.

Still, it was a knee-jerk reaction for me to come here and post just that, but you beat me to it.

Tom had best be in the process of making a drawing of Paz dressed like Aquaman, because if there isn't a horde of marine life swarming this boat in a few pages, I will be sorely disappointed.

Ever since our drop-off service, I never read a book.
There's always something else around, plus I owe the library nineteen bucks.
I feel like this is gonna be the chapter where the kids who don't have superpowers (or at least not flashy ones) get a chance to shine, but I also vaguely feel like we maybe already had that one?

you know, it's kind of unfair that we're relegating paz down to aquaman status. she can at least talk to all the animals, not just fish. i guess what i'm saying is that i fully expect to see her ordering her labmouse army to go crawl inside all the robots and gnaw apart various connectors.

Down? Excuse me sir, but Aquaman is pretty god drat badass. The "He talks to whales!" meme should have been dead as a pejorative after Injustice. Apparently that's not the case. :colbert:

It's kind of amazing how people look down on Aquaman for being 'useless'. When at various points he had super broken powerful abilities. Telepathically communicating with marine life turned into one where it worked on anything that had 'origins' from the sea. And since all life had roots in the sea, he could use it on people. Albeit a bit weaker, but he could still influence people.

At one point he had a magic replacement hand that had what is frankly a supervillain power: instantly dehydrating someone by touch. All the water, gone.

I'd like to think Aquaman maintains his 'useless' image just so he can have an excuse to wreck everyone. Even people who are the 'good guys'.

I like how his current powers aren't even a huge stretch like those ones. He's as tough as superman (because he lives and survives in one of the deepest trenchs in the world) he's nearly as strong physically (for the same reason) he can almost mimic superspeed just by having the strongest jumps in the world (same reason!).

Like, I haven't read a comic book in 3ish years, but last I checked Aquaman was explicitly able to display like, a million pounds of force when he exerted himself.



He has cool powers by virtue of just secondary stuff he'd logically have to have to live, which is neat.

but none of those powers are helping him save annie and the rest of the students, now are they?

what we need now are for all those with powers labeled "no threat" to band together and take out all these robots and beat the ship

Aquaman is incredibly loving powerful in the water. Total-domination-over-all-Earth's-oceans powerful. On land, though, he's 'only' just above Olympic athletes (admittedly, in pretty much every field). Thus the meme: Aquaman is pretty lovely in most mega-crossovers, because they're on land. Like how Batman would suck if he had just woken up from a ten year coma.

Fairly certain that during one of his edgy eras Aquaman straight up gave a dude an anyeurism via telepathy because all earth creatures came from the sea, and he just doesn't do that poo poo because he tries to be cool.

Every species can smell its own extinction.
Aquaman should just be a really strong guy who fights giant seamonsters for fun. Maybe give him some magic weapons he got from an awesome adventure or something. The kind of guy who sees Space Godzilla attacking the Earth and goes: "I'm punching it in the face." See, powers sin,t really what makes a character interesting or not. Giving him more powers won't make people like him more. Just write cool stories.
