And he knows it which makes him all the more awesome in my book.<br/><br/>Aqualad is quite a bit more than an underwater aqua dude, but Aquaman continually gets no respect despite being quite the power house in the DC lineup... So I can't say I'm surprised at your statement.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I like Aquaman, I came around after justice league, brave and the bold and flashpoint paradox. Geoff Johns has done a good job with making Aquaman credible again as well as the rest of the aqua-family, I like Mera as well. I just don't like Garth because he's kinda generic, he seems like DC's attempt at recreating the original robin,  but undersea , he doesn't seem to have much going on for him that makes him stand out in any significant way. There's a reason why they gave  his character the axe in the darkest night series, they literally killed him off because the writers didn't like his character and I understand why exactly they haven't used the original aqualad much since the new 52. They can make him as cool as they want to be, he can punch Darkseid in the eye, but he'll always be just Garth. For the most part they've done a good job at rebranding Aqualad as a legit badass with Kaldur but Garth is a lost cause.<br/><br/>The truth is, he's underwater nightwing who's never been that over with the audience.  If given the choice I'll take Lorena over him. Now if they turned him heel, he could be interesting...
