Arthur urged Dolphin to find cover and rescue everyone she could, before leaping into battle and plunging what was left of his broken trident right into the eye of Rath, driving the Abyssal Dark out of the tyrant monarch and leaving him more fish than man. This was going smoothly until he heard a mind in great pain, and after tracking it to its source at Beckman College, Aquaman found what seemed to be a machine. The last thing he remembers hearing is that the best ones are the ones people cannot see. That the calamity they all face was brought on by the foolish few's misguided actions born out of paranoia and arrogance.

He’s a public figure and so are most of his loved ones. For most Atlanteans, this means that can breathe underwater, endure the pressures of the deep (among other adaptations), and can only spend a very limited time out of water.

As the Justice League gathers, Aquaman wants to stop the attack peacefully, but Orm appears on the coast. Aquaman goes into the pit, but Dolphin cannot follow all the way because of the pressure. During their struggle, Wonder Woman tells him that they have both been deceived. While underwater, Aquaman has been observed to possess even greater strength, and he has proven capable of lifting weights in excess of 1,000 tons. It was then that Poseidon revealed the truth to him, about how the sea gods were not the vainglorious invaders the history of Atlantis had made them out to be. Arthur was approached by Vulko and revealed part of the reason he was staying out of the limelight was in anticipation for when the leaders of the land inevitably attempt a stealth attack to undermine the new queen and her country.Despite their differences, Arthur implored Murk to keep him posted on the situation, but also to refrain from informing Mera about the incursion by the Suicide Squad in their midst.

Aquaman and his soldiers mount operations all over the world to recover stolen Atlantean technology from human smugglers and bring the smugglers to justice. They would also gift the wayward traveler knowledge of whom he really was as agreed upon after completing such a monumental achievement. Aquaman was among the twelve people revived by the White Lantern Central Power Battery at the dawning of the Arthur stops Manta and Siren from murdering the boy's adopted father after he charges Mera with finding someone to help protect the surface world from her people.
