DC Just Revealed Who’s the Justice League’s Most Terrifying Member

by

The DC K.O. tournament is happening, pitting DC’s most powerful heroes and villains against each other in intense, three-round battles. The winner gets the Heart of Apokolips, which they believe will allow them to defeat Darkseid and rebuild the universe. We’ve already seen incredible displays of power from heroes like Superman, Wonder Woman, and Captain Atom, but the fight between Aquaman and Hawkman in Aquaman #12 was a real standout. Unlike the previous close matches, Aquaman decisively defeated Hawkman, showcasing his rarely-seen control over the elements and revealing a brand-new power that establishes him as the most dangerous member of the Justice League.

Aquaman and Hawkman are both incredibly powerful heroes – Aquaman with strength rivaling Wonder Woman and the ability to swim at hypersonic speeds, and Hawkman with a long, detailed history in DC Comics. However, they’re often underestimated, with Aquaman frequently seen as just someone who talks to fish and Hawkman overlooked despite his power. The comic Aquaman #12 pits these two underrated Justice League members against each other, and only one will win.

Aquaman vs Hawkman is a Legendary Battle Between the Sea and Sky

The Aquaman and Hawkman pairing is so interesting because the two heroes are alike in many ways, yet also very different. Both are brave, skilled warriors who always rush into a fight, and both draw inspiration from ancient myths – Aquaman from Greek and Roman legends, and Hawkman from Egyptian history. They’re also both masters of their environments: Aquaman rules the ocean, while Hawkman dominates the skies with his wings. This combination of shared traits and opposing strengths makes for a truly captivating battle.

Okay, so the fight started immediately with Aquaman and Hawkman going at it – trident versus mace, and the impact was seriously shaking the ground! Hawkman initially seemed like he had the upper hand; all those lifetimes he’s lived gave him centuries of fighting know-how. But Aquaman quickly showed that experience can only take you so far when faced with sheer, brute strength. The crazy part? There wasn’t even a drop of water anywhere nearby! But Aquaman just…pulled it up from deep underground, conjuring this massive tsunami. Hawkman tried to fly out of the way, he really did, but the wave was just too big, too fast. It completely overwhelmed him and ended the first round right then and there.

At the start of round two, Hawkman suddenly becomes much more powerful. He receives a visit from Horus, the Egyptian God of the Sky, who offers to amplify his strength if Hawkman agrees to act as his representative on Earth. Empowered by this divine boost, Hawkman gains the upper hand against Aquaman, hitting him with incredibly powerful blows. He fiercely grabs Aquaman and flies him high into space, believing the Atlantean king will be defenseless without water. It looks like Aquaman is about to lose, potentially ending the fight like all the previous ones in DC K.O. However, the battle takes an unexpected twist as Aquaman unleashes his water-controlling powers in a shockingly powerful and unsettling way.

Aquaman’s New Power Makes Him Practically Unbeatable

Hawkman mistakenly thought Aquaman needed external water sources to fight, but he overlooked a key detail: the human body is mostly water. Aquaman, however, knows this well and used his ability to control water to manipulate Hawkman’s blood, effectively taking control of him from within. He paralyzed Hawkman’s muscles and veins, sending him crashing down to the planet. The impact was fatal for Hawkman, but Aquaman was unharmed, proving his strength and solidifying his reputation as potentially the most formidable member of the Justice League.

When people discuss the League’s strongest heroes, names like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, and Green Lantern usually come up. But Aquaman recently gained a new ability that makes him incredibly dangerous: he can now control or even eliminate those same heroes with just a thought. Very few League members could disable so many others at once, and Aquaman achieves this through his control of the Blue, an ancient, unseen energy that connects all water in the universe. While he’s typically used this power to create massive waves and floods, the most recent issue of Aquaman, number 12, showcases a particularly inventive—and unsettling—use of his enhanced hydrokinetic abilities.

Aquaman’s power over water and the fluids within living beings is incredibly dangerous, offering almost unlimited ways to harm or control someone. He could, in theory, manipulate a person’s body like a marionette, causing severe injuries or even fatal damage to their heart. No one in the Justice League, regardless of their strength, speed, or intelligence, has a simple defense against this ability. Even Superman wouldn’t be able to withstand such an attack. His victory against Hawkman proves that even those with extraordinary powers are vulnerable to Aquaman’s control over water. This terrifying ability all but guarantees Aquaman will be a major contender in the DC K.O. tournament, demonstrating why the King of the Seven Seas should never be underestimated.
