3/12/2023 0 Comments Aqua lad and aqua boy![]() In the pages of the new Teen Titans book, Jackson suddenly returned after disappearing for years, now looking more like Kaldur than before and, unlike his small screen doppelganger, gay and confirmed as such in Teen Titans #10, the second part of a short arc wherein he meets and comes out to his father during a hunt for undersea treasure. Beyond both versions sharing a similar costume and Black Manta as a father, there wasn’t anything linking the two together, mostly because Jackson disappeared almost immediately after he showed up, not really making a splash until 2016’s “Rebirth.” Like Kaldur, this Aqualad (albeit known as Jackson Hyde) had control over water and intricate tattoos over his arms. Though the show would debut in November 2010, his true first appearance was some months prior, in Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis’ Brightest Day #4. What happens when you take the former route? The result is the DC Comics character Aqualad, a boy who has yet to achieve any sort of unity or cohesion despite existing for nearly an entire decade.Īqualad arrived in 2010, an original creation for the animated series Young Justice who was also known as Kaldur’ahm. Marvel recently found themselves pursuing the latter option with the success of the Black Panther film, giving T’Challa’s sister Shuri her own comic to help her mirror the version played onscreen by Letitia Wright. At that point, a company can either choose to let them be similar but different – or try to bring them between a happy middle ground. Sometimes, though few and far between, there’ll be a character that’s very different from who they are between screen and panel. Batman will always be a stoic gruff who rarely smiles Wonder Woman will always be a powerful warrior who points out what’s right and takes charge, and so on. Superheroes that exist in both the realm of comics and television generally have overlapping qualities between the two mediums.
