Despite his heroics and association with the Justice League, he is mocked and minimized. "The man that spoke to fish" will be his epitaph. He is man of two worlds, beloved by neither. So then why does he persist, you ask? I will tell you..."

Because no matter what Arthur Curry pretends to be, Aquaman is a murderer! And my father's death will be avenged!"
