Synopsis for Aquaman: "The Outrage!"
Aquaman is scorned by the citizens of New Venice after attacking their town under Poseidon's domination. However, one little girl asks him to come and see her cousin, Cal Durham, a water-breather and a former associate of Black Manta's. Cal tells Aquaman that he was released from prison a week ago and had come to stay with his New Venice relatives, but, on the way, discovered that Black Manta was in operation again at his old stamping grounds. On the way there, Aquaman and Cal are captured by one of Manta's mechanical fish. The villain holds them captive and informs them that he has built a new underwater army from former winos and derelicts, and intends to use them to invade Atlantis. His only motivation: to spite Aquaman. Elsewhere, a delirious Mera phases into an unknown location.
