Come up with a new villain for Aquaman that poses a unique and capable threat for him without feeling too similar to...

Roman, an alternate Aquaman from a shitty Universe.

He is a retarded fishman with wings on his feet that is angry all the time because he is retarded.

Davy Jones

So basically a pirate version of the night king

a haunted U boat manned by ghost nazis

Maybe a villain who can manipulate salt I guess.

Sorta like that, but he actually speaks and makes his presence known by slaughtering entire villages in places where contact with heroes wouldn't be easily available like Africa to bolster his ranks.

Right because what DC needs is more ice villains.....

A sapient Deep Sea creature that is the "superhero" for all creatures in the lightless depths of the ocean. They are running out of habitat and are trying to expand upwards, but instead of adapting to the light they try to alter the upper world's conditions to suit their needs.

Some sort of villain inspired by The Shadow Over Innsmouth would be pretty cool. Arthur could discover a race of fish people have been breeding with humans and offering them stuff in return like riches and fame while it keeps their own civilization alive.

A race of hostile rock people who live underground and want to forcefully take the Earth from those who live in the sea and above.

Really any subterranean race would be nice. Irony of “surface dweller” and how Atlantis has a negative impact on their race

>extragalatic alien god rollcall
that was super duper gay
who's the writer so i can avoid him

Call him Davy Jones or something and I'm on board.

X-Com Terror From The Deep

brave

>The Committee for a Harmonious and Prosperous Society

Or just, "The Committee," an authoritarian communist movement that seeks to overthrow the monarchy and replace current Atlantean society with one of their own making. They're also virulently anti-surface, and seek to conquer coastal areas to create a buffer zone between humans and the sea, of which they claim sole dominion. Think a mix of Robespierre and the Red Guards.

A crew of ancient Atlantean space travellers return to Earth but because of time dilation have only aged a decade despite 12,000 years passing on Earth. Seeing their beautiful empire beneath the ocean they swear vengeance on Aquaman for the sins of his ling dead forebears.

Sharkuza
A big fucking shark that fucks with aquaman any chance he gets and pops up from the least expected places
He also has an old Japanese scientist brain implanted so he makes stereotypical henchmen out of other fish like ninjas and shoguns

>Jojo
>rock people
>not Jojolion

Some sort of Fae Noble who is red magey magic swordsman. Also more handsome and sexy than even Aquaman. Representative of the hidden away races, ala Sandman Morpheus' coterie, who wants to replace the Atlanteans with their own fable races. When Atlantis arose again in the public mind it opened up the dreaming races to public knowledge too but they gotta enact the second fall of Atlantis to do it, to redo the cycle of it falling the first time. Because of the fable nature of it only Aquaman can travel there to fight them on their own home turf, on earth they manifest as slowly replacing bits of existing peoples and places.

alright, now make a unique and interesting captain america villain

A guy whose main power is control of Magma named Magmaman

Flashpoint Aquaman. Regular Aquaman turns into his Brave and the Bold counterpart.

Namor but with more powers. And he is named keerg

Panzer, what was going to be Nazi Germany's equivalent to Steve, a young, heroic German soldier selected by the Reich to be experimented upon. However, instead of giving him a serum, they instead opted to put him inside of a mech suit from the 1940's that was advanced beyond most other forms of technology at the time, making it possibly even stronger than an atomic bomb. By the time he is finished, everything is stripped from him, his flesh, his life, those he held dear, they're all gone. And then he's put in stasis or some shit, awakening over 70 years later after being released by HYDRA.
And upon awakening, he feels nothing but hatred for what the world has become. What's happened to Germany after all these years. How far it's fallen. Those neo-nazi disgraces making a foolish name for the beautiful reich. And then, he has only one desire. Not to assist HYDRA in their goals of world conquest. To burn down Germany, for basically dishonoring and being an embarrassment to their past.

Global Warming Guy

A tongue-in-cheek viral Youtube personality turned not-so-super villain turned super villain.

He doesn't have superpowers or fuck you money yet, he's just a former high school math teacher named Gary who made some wise investments and retired a little bit early. He heard about Aquaman years ago, and like everyone else immediately thought he was a fucking joke, but has taken to openly mocking him on the internet since he retired. Hilarious, well-shot videos of him apparently violating the ocean and sea critters in various ways as his alter ego Global Warming Guy became an overnight success with tens of millions of followers, significantly more than Aquaman's "Ocean PSAs" channel. He's even picked up a few corporate sponsors.

He's soon approached by a shadowy group like , not with the intention of drying up portions of the ocean because that's retarded you dumbshit, but to increase temperatures on Earth, thereby reducing human habitability everywhere, increase sea levels to encroach on coastal cities which is to be blamed on Aquaman, and decrease the biodiversity of the oceans in order to limit his powers. By assassinating his character and reducing his abilities, they hope to render him unable to stop their scheme of establishing a monopoly to haphazardly mine the deep ocean for fuel and minerals with robots.

Of course, things don't go according to plan. As Global Warming Guy's methods become more elaborate, well-funded, and negatively impactful, and all the while his videos becoming more popular, the fame gets to his head. He becomes more eratic, adopting his alter ego full time and goes on a power trip. He forms a flashmob of his followers and storms a globally syndicated news studio in order to more broadly spread his new manifesto which calls for the death of Aquaman. This culminates in his first face to face standoff with Aquaman.

Not a single main villain but a cabal of villains called The Thirteen who are secretly working together to make the thirteen colonies independent from the American union while ushering in a new world order.

Make her the main nemesis for Mera

>not making Black Jack into Black Manta's Black Manta
>not having Arthur strand them together on a deserted island and forgetting about them for years
>not having Arthur return and finding out that not only did they survive, but they now have a kid
>not having them turn into bitter, spiteful exes who put up the thinnest veneer of tolerance for the sake of their kid while still trying to murder each other on the sly
>not having them teach the kid to kill Aquaman even though she doesn't really know why
>not having Mera find this hilarious and keep offering to babysit just so she can watch a 4 year old try to stab her husband

Yes, yes I did.

Picture this.
>villian has a personal grudge against aquaman, so its very personal making him 1000% more dangerous than the usual villian.
>villian isnt natural water people sooo he wears an augmented suit that lets him go under water, but also enhances his strenght, ability and allows him to shoot lazers out of his hands.
>villian has been studying aquaman becuase of his obsession, and knows how aquanan thinks.
>viilian travels around in a submarine with atlantian tank. I'm suprised no writer has ever thought about this, i really wish i worked at DC so i could share my ideas with them.

Gay. I wanna see her and Mera duke it out

100% this!
