Arthur Curry is the King of Atlantis and the superhero known as Aquaman.
Biography[]
In the Flashpoint timeline, instead of being a superhero and joining the Justice League, Aquaman became King of Atlantis. When he and Diana Prince (Wonder Woman) had an affair, his wife Mera attempted to intervene and was killed by Diana. Feeling betrayed, he declared war on the Amazons. During the war, he captured Captain Atom in order to power a doomsday device, with which he intended to kill the Amazons. His forces sank Western Europe into the ocean, but the Amazons were protected by magic, renaming the occupied British Isles, New Themyscira.
As Deathstroke and Lex Luthor attempted to search for Aquaman's weapon, Aquaman led his Atlantean forces to kill the crew, however, Luthor transmitted the coordinates to the United States Government. In a bid to try and end the war, pilot Hal Jordan attempted a kamikaze run with an alien spacecraft and a powerful explosive, yet Aquaman ordered a sea dragon to devour Jordan's craft and the payload. Aquaman and his fleet were unaffected by the blast and prepared for the invasion of New Themyscira.
On New Themyscira, Aquaman launched an immense final battle and was surrounded by Grifter's resistance, who were trying to call off the war. Aquaman simply resisted and fought the heroes. During the battle, Aquaman mortally injured Cyborg, before his right arm was blasted off by Superman's heat vision. Seeing his forces dead, Aquaman was ambushed and pierced by Wonder Woman's sword. He refused to surrender, knowing full well that his people would be slaughtered by the Amazon Queen. He boasted that for the greater good, he would not let Wonder Woman have the final victory as activated his Captain Atom-powered bomb, vaporizing the Flashpoint Earth until it was erased from existence by the Flash.
