An alien parasite which possesses and mutates anything it can find with enough of a “negative mindset”. It acts on pure id and forces the conscious mind to watch as it destroys everything it can find until it runs out of water and reverts. When Laurence Quinn was exposed to Strange Water (an unnatural water-like essence) he unleashed it on the Earth. A newer villain that comes off like the Fisherman at level 70. I haven’t read anything with it, but I look forward to getting there. (Imagine it got into Devil Fish)
This assassin couple are OLD characters forced by the Organization for General Revenge and Enslavement (O.G.R.E.) to kill Aquaman and Mera. The two turn out OK and our heroic couple help them escape the organization. I want these two to be a more permanent part of the Aqua-Rogues, but not so much them as their names. I’d like to see a Huntress and Typhoon, one in purple, the other yellow, with a cheetah print theme reoccur in one form or another through Aquaman’s history. They have a nice gimmick and the originals have a sweet love story. I could easily see OGRE replaced with NEMO in a retelling.
A Xebellian elite who was forcefully conscripted to the army, married an elite soldier who formed a peaceful protest group to change their peoples militaristic ways, and witnessed the killing of many form the group. Lucia turned to violence to get her way and this led to the group being seen as murderers. She left her people and city, found love with a human diver promising a better life if she helped him, she tested him and he failed, and he turned out to be Black Manta and nearly killed her. She’d gotten pregnant in the time they knew each other.
Aquaman is not the only Atlantean with a fascination for surface culture. The metahuman with visible gills and fleshy “wings” under his arms is a “self-taught Janissary” who joins n extremist group called Onslaught, who operate out of Kahndaq and Kasnia. He also attacks Sub Diego. While they don’t go too far into the backstory, Atlanteans are known for their mistrust and prejudice towards others and it couldn’t have been easy growing up in that environment as a meta. It’s not hard to see why he would become fascinated with another culture or how interesting he would be as an Aqua-villain if DC would use him more.
