Notes

• Aquaman was only briefly associated with the All-Star Squadron.
• Aquaman was presented as the son of a human scientist who gave him the ability to survive and breathe underwater, and super strength, but had no other powers whatsoever. ^[1] In fact Aquaman is KO'd by a having a sandbag dropped on his head in that 1st ish!

• This version of Aquaman was, in later years (after the establishment of DC Comics' Multiverse) described as being the Aquaman of Earth-Two, an alternate Earth. The only appearances of the Golden Age/Earth-Two version of Aquaman after the Golden Age were in All-Star Squadron #59 and #60, just before he was retroactively eliminated from existence due to the changes wrought to DC's history by 1985's Crisis on Infinite Earths.

• In 1946, Aquaman's adventures moved from More Fun Comics to Adventure Comics, where he remained through the rest of the 1940s, the 1950s and early 1960s as a backup feature to the book's star, Superboy.

• Most of Aquaman's adventures in the 1940s and 1950s consisted of Aquaman dealing with various criminals, pirates, and so forth, as well as threats to aquatic life and sailors. The first recurring supporting character Aquaman gained was Topo, his pet octopus, in Adventure Comics #229 in October 1956.

• Starting in 1959, Aquaman saw his first major revisions to his mythos since the Golden Age, with various new supporting characters and adjustments made to the character.
  

Trivia

• Unlike his Earth-One/New Earth counterpart, Aquaman was not a true denizen of Atlantis.
