No I'm not leaving until this afternoon.

Yes, it is quite amusing.

Something that's been rattling around my head for a while, you know who really needs a revamp from DC Comics? Aquaman. It's like "Oh I'm the sea king!" and he has really cool powers, we just never see him do anything particularly awesome because he's already the king! His only real personal fights are to try and keep his throne and protect Atlantis from his brother and various undersea villains whose epicness is also undersold a lot.

I want to see how he BECAME the king. Set it up like, the previous king had Orrin (Aquaman), and told Orm (OceanMaster) he was going to give the throne to Orrin instead. Then Orm lead a rebellion, slew his father, took the trident, and killed baby Orrin. Or so everybody says. Now sixteen years into his reign of terror Orrin's lured into the rebellion by Myra (I believe is his queen's name) who he meets when he rescues her from some of Orm's guards because Orm's taken a shine to her and wants her captured. Orrin takes off on a quest to find the heir to the throne with Myra (because he doesn't know who he is yet) they pick up a straggling waif, who becomes Aqualad, Orm winds up hiring Black Manta who's grabbed along with his crew as an interloper to hunt down Orrin in return for his life, I mean you can see how this could very very quickly turn Aquaman into a very popular character.
