Born in the underwater world of Atlantis, Arthur Curry leads a dual life as Aquaman, protector of the world's oceans. He is able to "breathe" water, swim at speeds up to 200 miles per hour, and communicate with most sea life. Though his strength diminishes after prolonged exposure out of the water, Aquaman's Fractal Techgear allows him to remain on land battle villains with his blasting Hydro Spear for extended period of time.
