Golden Age (Earth-Two)[]

Aquaman was born to unnamed parents, though it is unknown where. It appears as though his real name is Aquaman and if he had another name, no one seems to know it. As a boy, Aquaman was given superhuman strength and the abilities to communicate with sea life and breathe underwater by his scientist father. When he was old enough, he decided to fight for justice with his powers as Aquaman.

In the Spring of 1942, he briefly fought as a member of the superhero team, the All-Star Squadron.
