And, in the course of the first few dozen issues of AQUA FORCE, I would have introduced, one by one, a plethora of villainous menaces WORTHY of a sea hero ~ of Atlantis ~ of the High Seas!
I could never understand how Aquaman was given five lame villains for each acceptable foe he had...!
The sea - in and by itself - inspires me dozens of mysterious personages... as it also does give me ideas for exotic settings where the royal couple could pursue their tumultuous and torrid relationship... ;)
Speaking of which, I had other couples in mind (and those did NOT include Nuada & Atlan - that was a rather recent pairing that appeared quite normal to me!) - as I do not think too badly of "soap opera elements" in the midst of an adventure series... It adds spice, gives the hero a drive, a raison d'être and to fight on... Plus, the inherent sensuality of the sea simply has to be exploited! Curvaceous ladies such as Mera, Tsunami, Nuada, Ulla Paske, Lorena and the rest simply have to be pursued by the loves of their lives! Nothing quite as good as the old "pursuit and denial" love saga when it is being played out ON THE SEA! Think of the old Angélique, Marquise des Anges series of books and movies... which featured a gallant sea man by the name of Le Rescator - privateer de son état...
Besides - I am a former fan of Brazilian telenovelas... so... you had to expect some of this stuff injected into here! ;)
Half of the plans I had involved bringing back old foes - but in a new, daring and mysterious way! Those included the likes of "Alienna & Ka'arl" (quarries in serious need of revamping - and of new names as well!) - "Dagon" (a Lovecraft-inspired name is his only saving grace, really... *lol*) - and a complete reworking of the Fisherman...
For the OTHER HALF of the villainy that the Force would be combatting worldwide, I had very nifty plans indeed - making ample use, again, of the mystery aura that the sea has always had. And we do not have to confine ourselves to the Bermuda Triangle to get that mysterious aura either...!
So, yes - a lot of uncanny powers unleashed that only AQUAMAN and his Force could realistically handle with any kind of effectiveness... because Uber-Bat, his Outsiders and his League are... well, out of their league completely here!
And the Sentinels of Magic, though frequent guest-stars (either as a group or individually) would also be out of their element this time...
Hence, the AQUA FORCE would be the only team able to get the job done here! As in ANY business - one has to supply the DEMAND... right?
Those who doubt that there would be much of a demand for a whole team of aquamen have obviously never found themselves in a Titanic-like "accidental re-enactment" - nor have they enough imagination to appreciate an undersea environment that reeks of enchantment and utopia... Too bad, for they miss out on TRUE ESCAPISM... ;)
OF COURSE... even though entirely out of the question, if and when an Aqua Force would come to be, nowadays, it would have a very different line-up... and leader figure too!
AQUAMAN has taken on different controversial aspects since my earliest plans, that is for damn sure: ``EMPEROR AQUAMAN`` alone saw him become an adulterer, impaler and destroyer of the world! That whole Flashpoint story turned everything on its head - and it was necessary due to so many dudes being blind to the true potential of characters such as Aquaman (but also, virtually, every other ``too familiar for his own good`` super-type that becomes bland in the public eye because of that; fandom stops expecting anything new from these since they figure they know all there is to know about them already and that it is as good as it is likely to get!)
Hence, the AQUA FORCE of the 21st Century would be... visceral in its fight for the safety and preservation of the seas!
AQUAMAN. CHARYBDIS. WAVERIDER. LOBO. LIQUIDATOR. TUATARA. TEMPEST. ATLAN. SEAQUAKE. AQUAMAN ONE MILLION. Along with several of my own creations...
Let`s just say this: they would be MERCILESS.
As for the ladies, the new takes on Mera, Dolphin, Nuada, Letifos, Lorena (Aquagirl) and my very own plans for Tsunami, Ulla Paske and Lisa Morel would have to be PERFECT - and they were (my plans, that is, were! Strong-willed, determined, persuasive beautiful females that could get the job done all on their own; those would be the female members of the Force! Of course! They`d even show Wonder Woman, Supergirl and Batwoman just how to truly be SUPER!)
The oceans need some serious defense; it is no joke. And these guys would provide it.
~My Mer-name is Glaucus Bioluminescence. Wow ~ even the Mer~folk agree that I am luminous! ~They identify me with a minor sea~deity though: Glaukos has nothing to do with glaucoma, at least ~~~ (thank God! The REAL GOD!) ~~~~ Oh... no; Glaukos gave its color to glaucoma... :( ~~ well, says they! ~~~~~~~~ Aegir, Poseidon, Triton and scores of others are more powerful than him, anyway... so there! Everything will be fine! The Aquaficionadas are on my side! :) ~ Take The Merfolk Name Generator Test anyway! ~ Created with Rum and Monkey's Name Generator.
... An LP Anthem to the end of a childhood dream...? By LP...
... and assorted aquatic tunes for your listening pleasure... (l.p.)...!
But now, for your reading pleasure... ISSUU - brought to you by... an Aquaficionada!

Back to the villains though...
