HISTORY
Arthur Joseph Curry, son of oceanobiologist Phillip Curry, given an experimental serum by his father shortly after birth as Arthur's lungs weren't fully formed. As a result his body mutated and he grew gills and became able to breathe underwater. A great storm destroyed the oceanographic center where he lived and he was cast out into the sea, where he met the mysterious Dweller in the Depths and King Shark. Given new clothes by the Dweller, Arthur resembled the Aquaman of legend and has since been hailed by many as the new Aquaman, despite his protestations.
