Aquaman (Arthur Curry) is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by Paul Norris and Mort Weisinger, the character debuted in "More Fun Comics #73" (November 1941). During the late 1950s and 1960s superhero-revival period known as the Silver Age, he was a founding member of the Justice League.

The character's original 1960s animated appearances left a lasting impression, making Aquaman widely recognized in popular culture and one of the world's most recognized superheroes. Jokes about his wholesome, weak portrayal in "Super Friends" and perceived feeble powers and abilities have been staples of comedy programs and stand-up routines, leading DC at certain times to attempt to make the character edgier or more powerful in comic books. Modern comic book depictions have attempted to reconcile these various aspects of his public perception, with many versions often casting Aquaman as serious and brooding, saddled with an ill reputation, and struggling to find a true role and purpose beyond his public side as a deposed king and a fallen hero. Since his comic book debut in November 1941, Aquaman has appeared in a number of adaptations. These formats include television shows, video games, and films.

The alter egos of Deadpool, Daredevil and Arrow are Wade Wilson, Matt Murdock and Oliver Queen respectively.
