River ,'War Stories'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
Does Aquaman have powers his compatriots lack?
Sure. He can breathe underwater (which, OK, so can Supes) and can communicate with and control sea life. And, while the Martian Manhunter's telepathy is more "powerful," Aquaman has pulled a few stunts with it that J'onn hasn't exhibited.
Aquaman is the shiznit, y'all.
Not quite up there with the Submariner, but so close.
How come he can do that, and other Atlanteans can't?
They can; they just all realize what a lame power it is.
He can breathe underwater
Atlanteans are air breathers?
Batman could beat the crap out of the fish until it decides to talk to him verbally.
Batman wouldn't have to beat up the fish. He'd just sit still and stare at the fish until the fish got so uncomfortable that the fish confessed to everything.
"Yes! YES! I admit it! I shoved Flipper into the net! STOP STARING AT ME!"
Frank,
Gracias, victor.
Wolverine always seems to make it look like heroics are coming between him and a cold beer.
This is would be Hellboy, too. Right?

Bwahahaha!! Now I'm cross-polinating genres so I've got Keifer Sutherland as Batman pounding a large-mouth bass in the kisser and yelling "Who are you swimming for?!?!?!?"
but Cyclops seems an undeniable superhero to me.
I totally agree. And, really, I think that one of the places that Joss seems to be going with "Astonishing X-Men" is that "super-hero" may well be a role that Scott's more comfortable with than, say, "Mutant freedom fighter/teacher/activist," or whatever it is they've been doing for the past few years.
Funny how, for Cyclops, the more idealized role comes easier than the more realistic one.

I think Supes just holds his breath.

That's because he's an ass.
Still -- Storm, Jean, Beast, Colossus -- heroes all, no?
This is would be Hellboy, too. Right?
I always felt comic Hellboy was a hero. But my heroimeter is a bit broken.
I'm now thinking that ita meant "Atlantean compatriots".
If I recall correctly, Aquaman, being half-human, can stay out of the water longer than his fellow Atlanteans. I don't remember if other Atlanteans can talk to fish like he does.
