Aqualad

Aqualad's History

Aqualad is a marine telepath who once lived in the utopia of Atlantis. He can communicate with fish using his telepathic powers, though these powers are susceptible to nullification from the human-affecting psychic ones of Brother Blood.

He was first seen in Deep Six, when the Titans went underwater to stop the villain Trident. When Trident blasted their T-Ship towards the point where the engines stopped working, Aqualad summoned two whales to save their ship. This hit Beast Boy's nerve because it was supposed to be his mission. Aqualad took them to his home, where he called upon his companion, Tramm, to help fix the ship. Starfire and Raven developed crushes on him soon after. While the Titans stayed at Aqualad's base, Beast Boy and Aqualad went to look for Trident. Because of Beast Boy's jealousy, their mission was somewhat hindered and they did not cooperate like a team until Aqualad said that he was not better than Beast Boy. They managed to find Trident's base and found many "eggs" on the ceiling of Trident. This is how he was cloning himself. Aqualad and Beast Boy managed to escape, and just when things seemed hopeless, the T-Ship arrived, fully repaired thanks to Tramm. The T-Ship blasted the cave, blocking the Trident clones and preventing them from escaping. Soon after, Robin gave Aqualad a communicator, For being an honorary Titan and the episode ended with Beast Boy and Aqualad racing.

He appeared again in Winner Take All, being pitting against several other Titans in a tournament organized by the Master of Games. He was defeated by Speedy in the first round.

He appeared again in Wavelength, where he tracked Brother Blood's new base underwater. His telepathy gets jammed. He and Beast Boy went to disable the force field shielding the sonic cannon Blood was going to use to destroy Jump City, but they had to be rescued from a crushing wall first.

Aqualad and Bumblebee form the Titans East with Speedy and Más y Menos, the second team of Teen Titans that are based in Steel City. He appears in Titans East - Part 1, where his team built the Titans East tower with the help of Cyborg. Later he was seen fighting off Steamroller, and then a few Cyclones, before getting mind-controlled by Brother Blood in Titans East - Part 2 into serving him. They attacked and captured Cyborg. Blood had planned to convert the Titans East into cyborgs, until his plan was thwarted by the Teen Titans. He fights Cyborg then Robin but they are saved by the Titans after Brother Blood is defeated by Cyborg.

In For Real, Control Freak's challenge for him is stopping polluted water from flowing into the reservoir on the other side of town while fighting a mechanical shark. Aqualad completed this challenge by plugging the polluted water flow with the mechanical shark. Aqualad is the first Titan to finish Control Freak's challenge.

Aqualad is not seen again until the episode Calling All Titans! when Robin established the communication system. Shortly after, when the Brotherhood of Evil unleashed their plans, Aqualad was attacked by Plasmus and Trident. He managed to hold his own for a little while, but even when Tramm came to help, both were defeated and flash-frozen at the Brotherhood base.

When Beast Boy led Pantha, Mas, Jericho, and Herald to the Brotherhood base, Mas managed to reach Menos and together, the two unfroze the captured Titans. Aqualad was seen washing away General Immortus and his robot army. After the Titans' victory, Aqualad socialized with the rest of the Titans at the Tower and later helped in the capture of Doctor Light.
