AQUAMAN - A Uselss Hero???

Aquaman is more than the dolphin riding side show that we all saw him as on the 70's Super Friends TV show. He is a man who was at home both on land and in the sea, he fought a variety of menaces from super-villains to Nazis to sorcerers to beings from other planets and dimensions. He's fought alongside Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and others and has saved the planet on his own a few times.
Aquaman's telepathy can also influence non-aquatic life in subtle ways and does have super human strength.Bullets bounce off him, leaving only scratches. His senses are enhanced, his eyes able to see in complete darkness.

Much like the Bat Man TV show, the shows featuring Aquaman has made him more like a Dr. Doolittle in the minds of non-comic viewers. They portrait him as a joke and more like an animal trainer than a real super hero. Let's face it, once a hero reaches the big or small screen Hollywood has to put their take on it and they usually screw it up. Hell, in the Fantastic Four cartoon, they used a robot instead of The Human Torch. Producers were afraid kids would set themselves on fire to imitate him. Fact remains that Aquaman is a bad ass and no joke as a hero.
