While awaiting
transport to Miami, Florida, a young man named Arthur Joseph Curry is
washed out to sea when a storm ruptures the tank he is in. This Arthur
Curry, whose origin closely resembles that of the Golden Age Aquaman as
well as that of Neptune Perkins, is the son of oceanobiologist Dr.
Phillip Curry. Arthur's mother, Elaine, died in childbirth and Dr. Curry
was forced to use a mutagenic serum on his son when he was born three
months premature. Arthur has lived his whole life in the main tank of
his father's research facility at Avalon Cay, his only window to the
outside world being television.
Shortly after his arrival in the sea, Arthur is mentally contacted
by the mysterious "Dweller of the Depths," a deformed humanoid with
tentacles instead of hair and a left hand made of water. The Dweller
urges him to help King Shark, who still bears scars from a previous
battle with Aquaman during the recent Crisis. The Dweller, confusing
Arthur for Aquaman and calling him his "charge," tells Arthur and King
Shark of a prophecy regarding Arthur's future, a prophecy which seems to
be a distorted version of the original Aquaman's history. The Dweller
reveals that the original Aquaman was "transformed into one akin to a
great and terrible enemy of your people and became the vessel of power
strange, ancient and terrible."
