About me: Arthur Curry is the King of Atlantis, the firstborn son of Atlanna, the older maternal half-brother of Orm Marius, and a member of the Justice League, as well as the superhero known to the world as the Aquaman.
During his childhood in Amnesty Bay, Maine, he was secretly trained by his vizier Nuidis Vulko in hand-to-hand combat and gifted with his mother's trident as a blessing. While he was initially reserved and content with his self-imposed isolation from both the surface world and Atlantis, which was primarily due to his mother's forced abandonment of him and his father Tom Curry as a child by Orm's father Orvax, Aquaman would eventually be recruited by Batman to join the newly formed Justice League in order to help defend Earth against the alien forces of Steppenwolf and his Parademon army, despite being reluctant to get involved at first.
Following his recruitment to the team, Arthur played a pivotal role in reviving Superman a year after the latter's death at the hands of the monstrous Doomsday. With the Justice League now fully assembled, Aquaman contributed considerably into driving back Steppenwolf, even severely injuring the latter with his trident, forcing the failed alien invasion into hasty retreat.
Roughly a year later, Arthur reluctantly decided to finally pursue his rightful place in Atlantis – he retrieved the legendary Trident of Atlan from the depths of the Hidden Sea with the help of Mera and his long lost mother Atlanna, and defeated his half-brother Orm in battle, finally becoming the rightful King of Atlantis at last while embracing the Aquaman moniker, though in the process of accomplishing this he also inadvertently created a new and dangerous villain hellbent on his destruction: Black Manta.
Aquaman and the Justice League traveled to the Coverdale Ranch on the information of Amanda Waller to help the 11th Street Kids stop the Butterflies along with the Cow, but they were late, and the new heroes were the ones who stopped the invasion. In the midst of his duty as a superhero and king, Curry along with the Justice League defeated Charybdis, marrying Mera and discovering that she was pregnant, giving birth to their son, whom he began to raise while fulfilling his role as king, entering in conflict with the Council of Atlantis over their lack of interest in the throne and contamination by the surface.
Dealing with his conflict as king, Atlantis was attacked by Black Manta, who used the Black Trident to seek revenge against him. Seeking a way to stop the theft of Orichalcum and prevent the planet's destruction, Curry had to free Orm Marius from the Kingdom of the Deserters, forming a temporary alliance. After the kidnapping of his son, Curry and his allies headed to Necrus to confront the Manta Men and prevent the arrival of King Kordax, destroying the Black Trident with the help of Marius. After making peace with Marius and saving his son, Curry revealed Atlantis to the world to join forces and protect the planet from contamination.
