The cherished DC Elseworlds universe keeps growing, and the Dark Knights Of Steel series is about to have an unexpected turn. Aquaman will discover a startling turn on Superman's conventional origin tale in this original interpretation of the DC Universe. This is an unexpected turn of events whereby Aquaman will be assuming Superman's responsibilities. Prepare to view the King of Atlantis in a whole fresh perspective.
The Dark Knights Of Steel universe has already fundamentally altered the chronicle of well-known characters. Superman's parents, Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van, arrived on Earth with him in this universe, fundamentally changing his background. Tom Taylor and Riccardo Federici's backup stories for Dark Knights of Steel: Allwinter will examine Aquaman's past as it has also been rewritten.
The synopsis of Dark Knights of Steel: Allwinter exposes an unexpected link between Aquaman's new origin and Superman's conventional childhood. Superman's biological Kryptonian parents are still alive when he arrives on Earth in this Elseworlds story, thus Martha and Jonathan Kent are not needed in raising him. Rather, the Kents acquire "a magical child" from Atlantis—who turns out to be Aquaman. Aquaman's development as a hero will change significantly from this turn-about.
Childhood in the main DC Universe was very different for Aquaman than for Superman. Arthur Curry was split between two worlds as the lighthouse keeper's son of Atlantis's queen. His mother left a vacuum in his life when she was obliged to go back to Atlantis. The death of his father just accentuated his solitude. This stands quite different from Superman's background, in which he grew up surrounded by love and encouragement from his adopted parents.
Growing up in the main DC Universe has molded Aquaman into a multifarious hero, sometimes caught between his obligations as King of Atlantis and his duty as defender of Earth. Often struggling morally between his Atlantean background and his human ties, he can be more savage than Superman. Aquaman will probably grow to be a different kind of hero in this new Elseworlds universe depending on the love and direction of the Kents in Dark Knights of Steel: Allwinter.
Superman became the hero he is now in great part due to the love and encouragement of the Kents. In Dark Knights of Steel: Aquaman will undergo the same transforming power all winter. Aquaman's character and his future as a hero will be permanently changed by the love and care of the Kents, renowned for their kind hearts and relentless dedication to their adopted son.
