Aquaman

Aquman is a hero in the DC Universe

Origin
Born the son of princess Atlanna of Poseidonis and the exiled wizard Atlan, Arthur Curry and his mother were banished from the Atlantian city by the superstitious populace of Posidonis, who believed that blonde hair was a sign of the "Curse of Kordax", Atlanna and her infant son were found by a young lighthouse keeper named Tom Curry, whom Atlanna soon married. Many years later, Atlanna was dying of a terminal illness, and on her deathbed, revealed to her son the history of his royal lineage and of the powers he inhertited from Atlan. For the next few years, Tom raised his stepson to use his powers to protect the sea from the forces of evil. After Tom's death, Arthur journyed the seas, eventually coming across Posidonis, where he was arrested for his blonde hair. While in prison, Arthur met a friend of his mother's, a scientist named Vulko, who was arrested for speaking against the new superstitious government; It was Vulko who educated Arthur on the history of Poseidonis and it's mother country, Atlantis. Escaping from prison, Arthur ran into The Flash, who was on the trail of his nemesis, the Trickster. Saving the Crimson Comet from a pack of great whites, Arthur agreed to help the Flash capture the Trickster. In fact, it was the Flash who gave Arthur the name Aquaman. Upon returning to Poseidonis, he named was king after the people found out about his heritage. To this day, Aquaman is still the protector of both Poseidonis and two thirds of the world.
