1.Black Manta

Okay, here we go. Black Manta. THE Aquaman villain. The one everyone agrees is cool.

That is one killer design. And we should get more of him. He's awesome. An angry and troubled young man, Manta eventually became obsessed with Aquaman and finding a way to destroy him. He also scored maybe the greatest victory over a Justice Leaguer ever. He killed Aquaman's infant son. HE KILLED A BABY. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

Black Manta is hard freakin' core. At one point, he made a deal with Neron for more power. However, instead of asking for enhanced powers like Abra Kadabra or Blue Devil, he just asked to be turned into a manta ray monster hybrid. Real creative. This was until Aquaman turned him back to normal with his magic water hand. Also, he had a kid, who would later become Aqualad.

Why he isn't more popular: He is. Like, even people who don't like Aquaman like Black Manta. Dude's rad as hell.

And there you have it. Some Aquaman villains who are cooler and weirder than you realized. And then also some less cool ones; but whatever, I like them. Do you have a favorite Aquaman villain I didn't include? I doubt it, but if you do, let me know! And then just make fun of Aquaman or whatever in the comments. It's fine, I get it.
