Jackson Hyde (Kaldur'ahm, in some stories) is a gay Black half-Xebellian metahuman & son of Aquaman supervillain Black Manta; he's gifted w/ aquatic adaptations & power to mentally manipulate water (often facilitated via Waterbearer weapons); for a time, he was the 2nd Aqualad, but now shares the Aquaman name w/ his predecessor Arthur Curry, using his powers to aid Atlantis, Xebel, the Aquaman hero family, Teen Titans, Young Justice & other heroes!

Fair warning...this is another rant. I meant to post this yesterday bit I got distracted. HERE'S THE DEAL PEOPLE. I won't cut corners on this one (technically 2)...

I'm not crazy...you can look this up...XEBEL is a penal colony of Atlantis and it's populated with BLACK fish people...WAYMENT lemme explain. In the comics Jackson Hyde's mother (Lucia) and sister (Delilah aka Deluge) is from Xebel. (You may have already known this but I didn't) ...We do know that Black Manta is the father of Jackson Hyde (and Kuldar)

NOW...with this information it's time to reimagine some stuff...

Upon finding out that Lucia is not dead as a result of the experiments of the Xebel leader but rather was transported to a super max inner prison, Black Manta goes to rescue the mother of his children...the twins Jackson and Kuldar (Young Justice started it and I'm not killing a blacl character). On the way, he meets up with Deluge, who so happens to be his adopted daughter as she sprang up Lucia's fertile garden (he killed her biological father). Being true to Xebelian society, he kills the King of Xebel via ritual combat, claims the throne and promptly frees the love of this life...she is now Queen Lucia.

Now Black Manta and Deluge frees Kuldar from that brainwashed cult called "Young Justice" and retrieves Jaskson from his New Mexican prison. Now they sit atop of Xebelian society as rulers...

BUT WAIT I'M NOT DONE!

Remember them

See something don't sit right with them...then it dawned on me...we got introduced to them but WB duped us...so here's the tea (straight from my muddled mind)...The fisherman kingdom is Atlantica (The Atlanteans tried to rename them)...and the Royal Family is

KING TRITON

Hold up...rewind. I said KING Triton

And his daughters:

Ariel

And Tamika...iykyk

THERE'S THE FISHERMAN KINGDOM!!

WB you can't trick us!!

P.S. The other sisters got killed, Finding Nemo style

Both Atlantis and Xebel are ancient cultures. Their politics are governed by bloodline and heritage and complex tradition. The Xebellian martial code in particular is very strict and affairs of state are decided by ritual combat. — Mera (Mera: Queen of Atlantis TBP / Mera: Queen of Atlantis #1)

Xebellian characters left to right: Mera, Hila aka Siren, Nereus, Carcharador, Jackson Hyde, Lucia, Elasmar, Davi, Leron.
