Can someone explain Dolphin to me as a character? What was her deal? Was she just an undersea pin up girl? Do you guys feel like she deserved to be in the Justice League Task Force book?

I guess you're speaking of the original Dolphin and not the Rebirth (and current) version of her ?
Classic Dolphin first appeared in DC Showcase #79 (1968). She was a girl who had been abducted by aliens and altered into an amphibous being. She grew up wild (which is why she couldn't originally speak) and eventually met a navy crew who taught her sign language.
No, she was a great character. Are you implying she's somehow shallow or lacking characterisation because she's attractive? Last I checked most DC heroines look like "pin up girls."
Absolutely.
I admit I prefer Current Dolphin though.
I've never read her stories. All I know is that she has platinum hair and she dated Arthur in the PAD run even though she was 20 years younger or something.
But like, what was her personality? What role did she serve in the stories? What did she want? What significant things happened to her or were done by her?
I already miss having an Aquaman ongoing. I really hope Arthur can get a shot at another title and soon. I already miss seeing him and Mera fighting alongside one another. The two of them are among my favorite DC couples.
We are the Dora Milaje. We are the daughters of the 18 tribes of Wakanda. We are the teeth of the Panther God. Out of 10,000 years of sweat and bloodshed and battle are we born. We are the women of this ancient land. Deadliest of the species. And our time has come!
Also, how old do you view/think Aquaman to be currently? He's definitely not still on his 20's, but certainly not yet in his 40's; so maybe early-to-mid 30's?

Precisely. Also she was somewhat withdrawn. Even after learning to speak she wasn't much of a talker.
Experimented on by aliens yes. That's where her powers came from. As I recall her muteness was a result of growing up without human contact.

Mainly to support Arthur. Even after their relationship ended she remained a loyal friend and ally.Originally Posted by Alpha
She helped Arthur out of his depression after Mera left him and saved his life when Charybdis nearly killed him (this was when Arthur lost his hand by the way).Originally Posted by Alpha
Oh and she had a catfight with Mera at one point. She broke Mera's nose with a headbutt.
