Character Spotlight: Aqualad

Aqualad


Aqualad is another of those characters that was created for a tv show but appeared in comics first (which, as I mentioned in the Aya character spotlight, is becoming increasingly common).  He debuted in Brightest Day #4 (June 2010) and first appeared on the tv series Young Justice in the pilot movie (November 2010).  He's a great character that was pretty much forced to be the leader of the team in Young Justice but has really grown into the role (although he might be a mole working for his father, Black Manta).

Super Post Potpourri!

We conclude out Super Post series with a couple of entries that are just too big (and a little complicated) to fit into a previous post.  If it weren't for the Flash, I could've just made this a second Batman Super Post, but oh well.  Such is life.
