DC Just Proved Aquaman is the Most Important Member of the Justice League

by

DC Comics is pouring all its resources into Superman, especially with the upcoming movie release. This film presents a fantastic opportunity to attract new readers to DC Comics. Enter “Superman Treasury 2025: Hero for All” #1, a comic squarely focused on Superman. In this story, two of his long-standing adversaries join forces to overtake Earth and eliminate Superman. However, it’s more than just a Superman comic; it highlights the broader DC superhero community, as they band together (even Lex Luthor!), aiming to prevent Earth from being overrun.

When Superman is apprehended by extraterrestrials, members of the Justice League step up to fill the gap, and among them, one team member assumes a critical role.

In a different perspective, Aquaman has frequently been criticized as one of the least effective members of the Justice League due to various factors. His powers, beyond super strength and invincibility, are primarily suited for underwater expeditions, which can make his land-based adventures seem rather dull. However, it’s essential to note that Aquaman is far from being the most ineffective member of the team. In fact, the remarkable “Superman Treasury 2025: Hero for All” #1 assigns him a crucial task, one that only the King of the Seas can perform. Aquaman is currently experiencing a new phase in his comic book series and appears poised to play a significant role in the epic narrative of the All-Encompassing DC Universe. This comic book reveals that when the world faces an attack, Aquaman is the first person the League contacts for their most vital mission.

Aquaman Is Trusted With the Fate of the World

Superman Treasury 2025: A Hero for All #1 begins with Superman engaging in a fierce fight against a colossal battle robot, leading to his capture in a cunningly designed trap meant for him. This marks the initial attack in a significant alien invasion, as an armada of gigantic warships appears over Earth, obliterating the Justice League Watchtower and taking control of the planet. The Earth’s defenders swiftly respond, confronting smaller yet potent war robots attacking the Earth. Throughout history, DC’s heroes have been the most valiant superhumans in comics, so they not only engage in combat against the alien invasion force but also strive tirelessly to protect the innocent populace of the world. The League also initiates the evacuation of the world capitals, including the leaders of various nations. However, a problem arises when an alien invasion fleet appears in Earth’s orbit without any orbital defenses — they can not only detect targets but also destroy them from afar. A solution to this predicament is proposed by the Justice League — Aquaman.

Aquaman Plays a Key Role in Saving the World

One creative and unanticipated approach taken by the Justice League to secure global leaders is their underwater hideaway. Since it’s unlikely anyone, even those aware of Atlantis, would consider looking beneath the ocean for protection, this solution ensures maximum safety. Though not every world leader may require the same level of security, maintaining government continuity is vital.

The team’s lesser-known member, Aquaman, plays a crucial role in our strategy. He’s the one providing shelter for the leaders and taking risks if the invaders manage to locate them. As a government leader himself, his unique qualifications make him ideal for this kind of plan. Aquaman is not just the man who communicates with fish; he’s the man who saves the world in an unexpected manner.
