Jackson Hyde / Kaldur'ahm: Son of Manta, Aqualad, Aquaman Appreciation 2021

[lemonpeace]

back when I was making covers for my fantasy "Cosmic Aquaman" title, I had drafts with these pictures. I think I have like 3 or 4 chopped up and/or edited versions of these pieces on my computer somewhere. I believe the concept was something with the death force because it was around the time of Drowned Earth.

do Jackson and Starfire have a significant relationship? I don't think I've read any stories that highlighted their friendship.

I think she mentored him a little when they were on the Titans together. At least more positively than Damian did.

Man, I remember buying the Brightest Days issues with his first appearance. Come a long way.

This looks so good.

I'm in a mood for a reread because I love Jackson's origin in Brightest Day more than his Rebirth one.

It was filed under Aquaman. Guess it could be some OC, but he looks more like a version of Hyde than Curry.

Prototype Aqualad look, more or less...

Is he part of the Conner/Tim/Cassie Generation or the Dick/Wally/Donna generation?

Guessing the former but looking for confirmation.

In age, he's really part of Conner/Tim/Cassie's generation. But he was introduced in between Damian's generation and became a hero in that generation.
