-- Black Manta, at his execution when he turns himself in after finally killing Aquaman and plundering all of Atlantis
I mean, Jackson would work as an interesting parallel for Ace. hmmm i wonder what a One Piece world in the DC Omniverse would be like. call it Vearth-1!
excuse me while I think up a Black Manta pirate crew...
Yeah I remember that, when he took over N.E.M.O, became the Fisher King or something like that. I thought that was a cool development, I'm sad the didn't do more with it. I always did like the idea of the Hydes as a family of treasure hunters/contemporary pirates. it fits so well that Aquaman's greatest enemy is a pretty much just a super badass pirate. that's partially why I found the idea if Jackson being the Aquaman of the Confluence so interesting. could've continued the family lineage of piracy as "The Cosmic Aquaman: Space Pirate!"
