Synopsis for "Aquaman: Family Plot!"
Aquaman, Mera and Cal Durham learn the strange history of Aquaman's mother: that Atlanna was a survivor of the original Atlantis, thanks to her taking a serum of her own invention that made her amphibious and nearly immortal; that her sister, Atlena, was a priestess of the Delphius Oracle, which proclaimed that a savior would be born to become king of sea and land people; that Atlanna did not really die in Aquaman's childhood, but was merely rendered comatose, from which state she awoke, having become mad; that Poseidon himself is an android programmed with Tom Curry's memories; and that she believes Aquaman is the prophesied savior, and she wishes to kill him with Ocean Master's help.
