Powers / Abilities
(List as many as you need)
Physiology - Aquaman, as a Half-Atlantean Half-Human, can breath underwater and on land. He can be immersed indefinitely without suffering any ill effects but being super-Atlantean due to his royal lineage, he can survive on land longer than an average Atlantean.
Superhuman senses - Orin’s senses are beyond even the finest of humans. His ability to see in the murky depths of the ocean allows him exceptional night vision while on land. He has claimed that his eyes are adapted to see at 6,000 fathoms (or 36,000 feet below the surface of the water) and even his hearing, smell, and equilibrium are several times more acute than is humanly possible. Arthur can use a form of sonar location that allows him to detect objects or persons, not unlike a dolphin, which also helps should he ever be blinded and he possesses the ability to sense water in any direction through any matter up to 47 feet away.
Superhuman Strength - Aquaman possesses superhuman strength well above 100 tons. His strength is more than a match for most barriers such as wood, metals, brick or concrete walls and only extremely durable metal reinforced barriers have any chance of slowing him for any length of time. While not as strong as Superman, he has proven capable of performing standing high jumps of well over 4 stories (both on land and from water), lifting and throwing a tank (at least 25 tons), lifted a city block and shifted oil rig platforms which would weigh thousands of tons as well, a transatlantic ocean liner (around 160000 tons) on land, hurled a nuclear submarine from the bottom of the ocean to the surface, and literally moved a tectonic plate. His strength is great enough that he has injured and floored the Martian Manhunter with a blow, defeated the Olympian, Poseidon's own son Triton, held his own against the likes of Lobo and Despero, fought to a standing against Wonder Woman, and with a single punch knocked out a weakened Starbreaker, a cosmic entity capable of moving planets. Aquaman possesses strength and stamina that allows him to swim up to 150 mph for at least a 4 hour period without significant breaks for rest or recuperation.
Telepathy - Aquaman has the ability to communicate directly with sea life and can force them to obey his whims. However, forcing them to obey is rarely done out of respect for their will. He also has access to a quantum field phenomenon called "the Clear”, a sort of universal consciousness of all sea life. Via it, he can communicate or command sea life on the other side of the planet. He can see what they see and much more what he is only beginning to realize. He can also push his telepathic powers to reach out to the higher land creatures to find that element of their brains that was once an aquatic dwelling creature. This may account for his facility with language. Orin is also an accomplished telepath in general and can perform such telepathic feats as mind to mind communication, mind probes, mental domination of a non-aquatic mind, and mental attacks. The potency of such mental domination is unclear but he has used his powers to great effect against the White Martians and Doctor Polaris. His defences against such attacks are on a high enough level that even Despero must work to overcome his mind.
Superhuman Durability - Orin's enhanced physiology enables him to withstand impacts that would kill an ordinary human, and critically injure an average Atlantean. He has gone to ocean depths of 20,000 feet (3.79 miles) below the surface of the water. That amount of pressure is 800 atmospheres, which is enough to turn an ordinary human into a smear of blood and bone dust and has gone as deep as 36,000 feet (6.82 miles). Orin has taken a blow from Starbreaker himself and shrugged it off with ease, taken strikes from Lobo, and forced Despero to use his telepathic powers instead of brute strength to overcome him. Aquaman is extremely resistant to energy/heat based attacks as he has fought in a dimension with multiple suns for hours without tiring, with-stood multiple blasts from Amazo's heat vision, Black Manta's heat beams, abd energy blasts from an OMAC and Starro. He is not completely durable against large firearms, but is able to take a direct hit by small arms fire without incapacitation. Regular bullets can make him bleed but otherwise glance off his thick skin and not even an RPG can cause any notable damage.
Superhuman Speed and Reflexes- His regular speed is approximately 175 mph swimming underwater, although slightly less on the surface, but he has the ability to reach up to 100,000 mph (20,000 under stress). While he exact top speed is unknown, Arthur has traveled underwater faster than a plan traveling at hypersonic speeds (anything between Mach 5-10) and can keep up, while underwater, with the Flash and even save a large group of people in the water and be gone before Superman can reach him. Aquaman's reflexes are superior to metahumans, such as Deathstroke the Terminator, allowing him to dodge point blank gunfire, lightning, and he has even battled Wonder Woman on an even keel.
Power - Description of the Power or Ability
Weaknesses
Dehydration - Aquaman can survive on land far longer than any normal Atlantean. This length can be extended by the humidity in the atmosphere but eventually prolonged dehydration will weaken him thus he must return to aquatic environment at various period. This weakness truly demonstrates as he is known to push himself for far longer than he should and the more exhausted he becomes, physically, the greater dehydration will begin to affect him.

He watched as the new born floated in the water, his infant eyes lighting up at the sights of the schools of fish that swam by with his tiny feet kicking and bubbles popping from his mouth as his lips smacked together. The babe's mother, a beautiful red haired and full figured woman, swam beside the boy, her own eyes shining with a wide smile on her lips as she watched her babe struggle a bit to get closer to the fish and, by extention, the coral reef. There wasn't a care in the world on her face as this was nothing more than an the child's "first steps" for an Atlantean. Orin, King of Atlantis, watched his wife and son with pride filling his heart. ~That's it Artie...~ he thought to himself ~keep going.~ He exchanged a proud look with his wife as their son continued to paddle wildy, barely making any progress but laughing all the same. Swimming over to the pair, his right hand came to rest on his son's back, lightly pushing him forward. "That's it! Come on Artie! Aw look at you go!" he smiled, laughing as the baby rapidly moved his little arms and legs with his wife joining in as well. A few feet from the reef, his son stopped paddling and turned his head too look back at Arthur. Then.... the babe's skin turned pale... then in an instant faded away, nothing remaining but the muscle and sinew beneath as the baby started to say, "Da-"
"AHHHH!!!!" Arthur awoke with a shout as the waves crashed about him next to the mountain, a mist of water striking his skin as his eyes blinked rapidly while his mind worked to grasp his location. ~I'm here... same place... it's alright...~ inhaling deeply before holding the breath, his light blue eyes continued to take account for a few moments that he was still here, amongst the rocks on the ocean side of a mountain in a place that only a fool would try and get to him from. A place where he could be safe. His body shivered, not from the cold of ocean water or the midnight air, but from emotion. Inside his chest, Arthur felt a burn that he swore would set him on fire or cause his chest to split open and kill him. He clutched at his chest and started to breath slowly, inhaling and exhaling as though he were hyperventilating but even that didn't help. "ARRRRGHH!" he shouted and twisted to his left, striking and burying his right fist into a large boldering, the force shattering it about his hand not moments later. "Artie..." he whispered his son's nickname. Rising up from his seated position, he looked out to the ocean. If anyone happened to see him, they'd have questioned not only how he'd gotten to where he was, but how a young man in nothing but a pair of blue jeans wasn't freezing to death. No matter what though, they would get the answer he was about to give his own emotions: the cold shoulder. The moment that he had lost his son, Arthur had only recognized one thing... one feeling: Rage. Revenge against the man that had taken his son consumed his nearly every one of his waking thoughts and, after he leapt nearly half a mile from his sleeping spot, dove deep into the water and began to swim at a speed greater than the fastest torpedo, the only thought he allowed him self to have came, ~I'm going to find you Manta... I'm going to make you pay... and then I'm going to kill you.~
