But in a kingdom that hates and fears those with extraordinary powers , how long will two mere someone be capable to keep the secret of baby Arthur ’s origins ?
In this Elseworlds tale , since Superman ’s biological Kryptonian parent are still very much alive when they arrive on Earth , he did not need to be raised by Martha and Jonathan Kent . Instead , it seems that the Kents adopted " a heaven-sent child " from Atlantis and raise him as their own alternatively .

Arthur Curry was the youngster of the king of Atlantis and a pharos keeper . Despite want to be in Arthur ’s life , Atlanna had to regress to Atlantis as its queen . This left Arthur with a moderately big maw in his heart and a strange connexion to the sea that he did n’t in truth understand . This was only made big when Arthur ’s beginner was killed , leave Arthur totally alone — until he was brought to Atlantis by one of his mother ’s servants .
Superman ’s puerility honestly could n’t have been better . He grew up on a farm in a small town that he loved and was fence in by a loving home . Every single bit of love and support that Clark get is what transformed him into Earth ’s peachy superhero . InDark Knights of Steel , since he still has his biological parent , he seems much the same : full of passion and give care for everyone he meet . So , while Superman has n’t vary much , Aquaman should be nearly unrecognisable in this Elseworld , as he ’ll have have the very same love and support from the Kents that made Superman into the champion that he is .
