Aqualad (Kaldur’ahm) – Aquaman

Perhaps the most underrated of sidekicks is Aqualad. Currently Aqualad’s shoes are filled by Kaldur’ahm, son of the villain Black Manta. What we love about this Aqualad is his dark past and strong willed leadership side. He is an asset to Aquaman and rarely a burden. Aqualad is a frequent presence in the comic books and in television adaptations of the story. With an Aquaman film slated to release in a few years time, and Aquaman making his first appearance in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and then again in The Justice League: Part One, we can only expect to see Aqualad following not far behind. And we would love for it to be Kaldur-ahm.
