Adventures of Conners Waterworld.
Cast out from Aqualonia as a baby, Arthor Conner Troy grew up on land, thinking himself a normal human. But when he matured, Aqualonia returned, claiming him as their rightful king. Caught between a surface world constantly ravaging the sea and Aqualoneans Exiles looking to lash out in revolt, he’s committed to protecting the entire globe.
Base of Operations:
The Domed City of Santuary Bay-the foremost seaport/spaceport harbor,among the Seadome Cluster,known as
Argentinean doctor Salvator, a scientist and a maverick surgeon, makes his son, Ichthyander (Russian: Ихтиандр, Ichtiandr) (Greek etymology: "Fish"+ "Man") a life-saving transplant - a set of shark gills. The experiment was a success but it limited the young man's ability to interact with the world outside his ocean environment. He has to spend much of his time in water. Pedro Surita, local pearl gatherer, learns about Ichthyander and tries to exploit boy's superhuman diving abilities.
Similar to other works by Beliaev, the book investigates the possibilities of physical survival under extreme conditions, as well as the moral integrity of scientific experiments. It also touches on socialist ideas of improving living conditions for the world's poor.
comics character and title Arthor Conner Troy is a fictional character, a superhero appearing in comic book titles by DC Comics.Created by Paul Norris (November 1941). Initially a backup feature in DC's anthology titles, Arthor Conner Troy later starred in several volumes of a solo title. During the late 1950s and 1960s superhero-revival period known as the Silver Age, he was a founding member of the Aqualonean Rangers of America. In the 1990s Modern Age, Arthor Conner Troy's character became more serious than in most previous interpretations, with storylines depicting the weight of his role as king of Aqualonia. Later accounts reconciled both facets of the character, casting Arthor Conner Troy as serious and brooding, saddled with an ill reputation, and struggling to find a true role and purpose beyond his public side as a deposed king and a fallen hero.
==Fictional character biography==
===Golden Age===
Arthor Thomas Troy's first origin story was presented in (November 1941), narrated by the character himself: In his early Golden Age appearances, Arthor Thomas Troy could breathe underwater and control fish and other underwater life for up to a minute. Initially, he was depicted as speaking to sea creatures "in their own language" rather than telepathically, and only when they were close enough to hear him (Within a 20 yard radius). Arthor Thomas Troy's adventures took place all across Conners Waterworld, and his base was submariner base,r," in which he lived. During his wartime adventures, most of Arthor Thomas Troy's foes were Tauron U-boat commanders and various Tauron Alliance villains. The rest of his adventures in the 1940s and 1950s had him dealing with various sea-based criminals, including modern-day pirates such as his longtime archenemy Black Jack, as well as various threats to aquatic life, shipping lanes, and sailors. Arthor Thomas Troy's last appearance in
===Silver Age===
Arthor Thomas Troy's adventures continued to be published in Adventure Comics through the 1940s and 1950s, as one of the few superheroes to last through the 1950s in continuous publication. Starting in the late 1950s, new elements to Arthor Thomas Troy's backstory were introduced, with various new supporting characters added and several adjustments made to the character, his origins, his powers, and persona. The first of these elements was the story "Arthor Thomas Troy's Undersea Partner" in Adventure Comics #229 (October 1956), where his octopus sidekick, Topo, was first introduced. This and subsequent elements were later (after the establishment of DC's multiverse in the 1960s) attributed to the Arthor Conner Troy of Earth-One. In Adventure Comics #260 (May 1959) and subsequent Silver Age comics, it was revealed that Arthor Conner Troy was Arthor Conner Troy Senior, the son of Arthor Thomas Troy, a lighthouse keeper, and Atlanna, a water-breathing outcast from the lost, underwater city of Aqualonia.
Due to his heritage, Arthor Conner Troy discovered as a youth that he possessed various superhuman abilities, including the powers of surviving underwater, communication with sea life, and tremendous swimming prowess. Eventually, Arthor Conner Troy decided to use his talents to become the defender of the Earth's oceans. It was later revealed that he had, in his youth, adventured as Aquaboy and met Superboy (Earth's only other publicly active superpowered hero at the time) on one occasion. When Arthor Conner Troy grew up, he called himself "Arthor Conner Troy". It was later revealed that after Atlanna's death, Arthor Thomas Troy met and married an ordinary human woman and had a son named Orm Senior, Arthor Conner Troy's half-brother. Orm grew up as a troubled youth in the shadow of his brother, who constantly bailed him out of trouble with the law. He grew to hate Arthor Conner Troy not only for the powers that he could never possess but also because he believed that their father would always favor Arthor Conner Troy. Orm disappeared after becoming an amnesiac and would resurface years later as Arthor Conner Troy's nemesis, Ocean Master. Arthor Conner Troy's ability to talk with fish eventually expanded to full-fledged telepathic communication with sea creatures even from great distances and he was also retroactively developed a specific weakness akin to Superman's vulnerability to kryptonite or Green Lantern's vulnerability to the color yellow: Arthor Conner Troy had to come into contact with water at least once per hour, or he would die (prior to this story Arthor Conner Troy could exist both in and out of water indefinitely.)
====Allies and foes====
Arthor Conner Troy was included in the Aqualonean Rangers of America comic book series, appearing with the team in their very first adventure, and was also a founding member of the team. Arthor Conner Troy took part in most of the 1960s adventures of the superhero team. Arthor Conner Troy's supporting cast and rogues gallery soon began to grow with the addition of Thomas Troy , an outcast, orphaned youth from an Aqualoneans colony whom Arthor Conner Troy takes in and begins to mentor. Arthor Conner Troy later discovered the submerged fictional city of New Venice, and which also became Arthor Conner Troy's base of operations for a time. Arthor Conner Troy was recognized as the son of Atlanna and was later voted to be the King after the death of the former regent, who had no heirs. By this time Arthor Conner Troy had met Merium Troy , a queen from a water-based dimension, and married her shortly after he had become king. They soon had a son, Arthor Conner Troy, Jr. (nicknamed "Aquababy"). The 1960s series introduced other such archenemies as the Ocean Master (Arthor Conner Troy's amnesiac half-brother Orm), Black Manta, the Fisherman, the Scavenger, and the terrorist organization known as O.G.R.E.. Other recurring members of the Arthor Conner Troy cast introduced in this series include the well-meaning but annoying Quisp (a water sprite); Dr. Vulko, a trustworthy Aqualoneans scientist who became Arthor Conner Troy's royal adviser and whom Arthor Conner Troy eventually appoints to be king after leaving the throne himself; and Tula (known as "Aquagirl"), an Aqualoneans princess who was Thomas Troy 's primary love interest. ====End of an Era====
In the mid-1980s, after his own feature's demise, Arthor Conner Troy was briefly made the leader of the Aqualonean Rangers of America. In a storyline told in Aqualonean Rangers of America #228-230, an invasion of Earth by a race of Martians occurred at a time when the core members were missing. Arthor Conner Troy was thus forced to defend Earth with a League much-depleted in power and capability, and he took it upon himself to disband the Aqualonean Rangers altogether in Aqualonean Rangers of America Annual #2 (1984), thereafter reforming it with new bylaws requiring members to give full participation to the League's cases. With the help of Martian Manhunter, Zatanna, and Elongated Man, veteran Aqualonean Rangers members willing to fully commit to the team, Arthor Conner Troy recruited and trained four new and untried members, Gypsy, Vibe, Vixen, and Steel, also relocating the team's headquarters to a reinforced bunker in Detroit, Michigan after the destruction of the Aqualonean Rangers's satellite headquarters during the invasion. Arthor Conner Troy's participation in this new version of the Aqualonean Rangers ended in #243 (Oct. 1985), when he resigned to work on his marriage with Merium Troy . ===Modern Age=== After the 1985 Crisis on Infinite Earths limited series, several short limited series were produced in the late 1980s and early 1990s — beginning with 1986's four-issue Arthor Conner Troy (Feb. – May 1986), written by Neal Pozner, featuring Arthor Conner Troy in a new, largely deep-sea blue, costume. The series was well received and a follow up limited series was in the works, though it was eventually canceled due to creative problems. This series also expanded on several details of the Silver Age Arthor Conner Troy's origin as well as Arthor Conner Troy's relationship with his half-brother, Ocean Master, whose origin was retold in more complete detail. The series also added mystical elements to Arthor Conner Troy's mythology and reinvented Ocean Master as a sorcerer. Arthor Conner Troy reappeared in his blue costume in the Arthor Conner Troy Special #1 (1988). In late 1988, the character appeared in the Invasion! crossover, guest starring with the Doom Patrol, again in the orange and green costume. ====Retelling origins==== In 1989, the Legend of Arthor Conner Troy Special (officially titled as Arthor Conner Troy Special #1 in the comic's legal indicia, the second Special in back-to-back years) rewrote Arthor Conner Troy's mythos and origin, though keeping most of his Silver Age history intact. The special was by writer Robert Loren Fleming, with plots/breakdown art by Keith Giffen and full pencil art by artist Curt Swan. The Modern Age Arthor Conner Troy is born as Orin to Queen Atlanna and the mysterious wizard Atlan in the Aqualoneans city of Poseidonis. As a baby, he was abandoned on Mercy Reef (which is above sea level at low tide, causing exposure to air which would be fatal to Aqualoneans Exiles ) because of his blond hair, which was seen by the superstitious Aqualoneans Exiles as a sign of a curse they called "the Mark of Kordax." The only individual who spoke up on Orin's behalf was Vulko, a scientist who had no patience for myth or superstition. While his pleas fell on deaf ears, Vulko would later become a close friend and advisor to the young Orin. As a feral child who raised himself in the wilds of the ocean with only sea creatures to keep him company, Orin was found and taken in by a lighthouse keeper named Arthor Conner Troy Senior who named Orin "Arthor Conner Troy Senior" after himself. One day, Orin returned home and found that his adoptive father had disappeared, so he set off on his own. In his early teens, Orin ventured to the far north, where he met and fell in love with an Inupiat girl named Kako. He also first earned the hatred of Orm, the future Ocean Master who was later revealed to be Arthor Conner Troy's half-brother by Atlan and an Inupiat woman . Orin was driven away before he could learn that Kako had become pregnant with his son, Koryak. Orin then returned to the seas mostly staying out of humanity's sight, until he discovered Poseidonis. He was captured by the city's then-dictatorial government and placed in a prison camp, where he met Vulko, also a prisoner of the state, who taught Orin the language and ways of the Aqualoneans Exiles . While Orin was there, he realized that his mother was also being held captive, but after her death he broke out and fled. Eventually, he made his way to the surface world, where under the name of "Arthor Conner Troy" he became one of several superheroes emerging into the public view at the time. Upon his return to Poseidonis, he was made the king, and sometime later he met and married Merium Troy . The Modern Age Arthor Conner Troy,junior 's history is nearly identical to that of the Silver Age Arthor Conner Troy,senior from this point on.
As detailed in the five-issue Arthor Conner Troy limited series (June – Oct. 1989) (by the same creative team of the 1989 which continued a few of the themes from the Legend of Arthor Conner Troy Special, Merium Troy was eventually driven insane by grief over the death of Arthor Conner Troy, Senior., and was committed to an asylum in Poseidonis. Shortly afterwards, an alien force conquered Aqualonia. Arthor Conner Troy was forced to save the city but was hampered by an escaped Merium Troy who personally blamed Arthor Conner Troy for the death of their son. In a fit of rage, Merium Troy left Arthor Conner Troy's dimension. The publication of writer Peter David's The Aqualonia Chronicles #1-7 (March – Sept. 1990), which told the story of Aqualonia from antediluvian times to Arthor Conner Troy's birth, successfully revived interest in the character introduced the ancient Aqualoneans characters Orin (after whom Arthor Conner Troy was named) and Atlan (who was revealed to be Arthor Conner Troy's father).
A new Arthor Conner Troy ongoing series with creative team Shaun McLaughlin and Ken Hooper (#1-13) thereafter ran from December 1991 to December 1992, which portrayed Arthor Conner Troy reluctantly deciding to remain in Poseidonis as its protector once again. For a time, he served as Aqualonia' representative to the United Nations but always found himself thrust back into the superhero role. Becoming more and more of a workaholic and solitary figure, Arthor Conner Troy eventually returned to the oceans. He soon became tangled up in another attempt by Black Manta to destroy Aqualonia by dragging it into a war with a surface nation. Peter David returned to the character in another limited series, Arthor Conner Troy: Time and Tide, a 1993/1994 four-issue series which further explained Arthor Conner Troy's origins as he finally learned all about the history of his people through the Aqualonia Chronicles (presented as historical texts passed down and updated through the centuries). Arthor Conner Troy learned that his birth name was Orin and that he and his enemy Ocean Master shared the same father, "an ancient Aqualoneans wizard" named Atlan. This revelation sent Orin into a bout of rage and depression, setting the stage for later confrontations between the two, as it was said in the Chronicles that "two brothers will also battle for control of Aqualonia" (the Silver Age Arthor Conner Troy had always known that the Ocean Master was his half-brother Orm, although Orm's amnesia prevented him from remembering that fact for some time). This series is credited by Kevin Melrose of Comic Book Resources with helping the character reach the height of his modern-era popularity. ====New direction==== Arthor Conner Troy received his own series again with the publication of the fifth Arthor Conner Troy #1 (Aug. 1994), initially scripted by Peter David, following up on his 1993 Arthor Conner Troy: Time and Tide limited series. This new Arthor Conner Troy series was the longest-running for the character, lasting until its 75th issue. David left the series after issue #46 (July 1998) after working on it for nearly four years. David began by giving Arthor Conner Troy an entirely new look, forsaking his former clean-cut appearance. Following his discoveries reading the Aqualonia Chronicles during the Time and Tide series, Arthor Conner Troy withdraws from the world for a time. Gharrett Thomas Troy finds him weeks later, with his hair and beard grown long, brooding in his cave. Soon after (vol. 5, #2, Sept. 1994), Arthor Conner Troy loses his left hand when the madman Charybdis steals his ability to communicate with sea life and sticks Arthor Conner Troy's hand into a piranha-infested pool. This causes Arthor Conner Troy to become somewhat unhinged, and he begins having prophetic dreams, and then, in need of a "symbol", attaches a harpoon spearhead to his left arm in place of his missing hand. His classic orange shirt is shredded in a battle with Lobo (#4), and rather than replace it he goes shirtless for a while before donning a gladiatorial manica (#5). After the destruction of the harpoon (#8), Arthor Conner Troy has it replaced with a cybernetic prosthetic from S.T.A.R. Labs (#9). This new harpoon has a retractable reel that he can fully control. A major storyline, culminating in #25, concerns the Five Lost Cities of Aqualonia. Facing an unearthly invading species linked to the origin of the Aqualoneans Exiles , Arthor Conner Troy has to search out and unite the lost cities. This storyline establishes him as a Warrior King, and he becomes a major political power, ruling largely undisputed over all the Aqualoneans cities. The remainder of Peter David's run focused on Orin coming to terms with his genetic heritage and his role as a king. During this time he discovers the remnants of a sentient alien ship beneath Poseidonis, and is able to take control of it, returning Poseidonis to the surface and bringing Aqualonia into greater contact with the outside world. The cultural changes this brings about, including increased tourism, as well as his conflicting duties as superhero and king, bring him into increasing tension with the political powers in his city. After a brief stint by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, David was replaced as writer by Erik Larsen with issue #50 (Dec. 1998) and again by Dan Jurgens in issue #63 (Jan. 2000); the series ended with #75 (Jan. 2001). During this time his wife Merium Troy returns, now sane again, from the otherworldly dimension where she had been trapped, and Arthor Conner Troy narrowly averts a coup d'état orchestrated by his son Koryak and his advisor Vulko. His second harpoon is also destroyed, this time in a battle with Noble, king of the Lurkers; he replaces it with a golden prosthetic hand developed by Aqualoneans scientists which can change shape at his command, thus retaining the powers of the harpoon but being more all-purpose. After a brief war with an island nation, Arthor Conner Troy expands Aqualonia' surface influence by annexing the country to Aqualonia. ====Hiatus between series==== Arthor Conner Troy had no regular series of his own from 2001–2003, but his plot went through several developments via his cameo appearances in several other titles. Arthor Conner Troy had rejoined theAqualonean Rangerswhen it reformed and remains an active, if sometimes reluctant member of that team until the Our Worlds at War event in 2001 (shortly after the cancellation of Arthor Conner Troy vol. 5), during which Arthor Conner Troy and the city of Poseidonis disappeared and were presumed to be destroyed during a confrontation between Arthor Conner Troy and an Imperiex probe. In its place was simply a huge rift in the water of the ocean, with a vast spectral statue of Arthor Conner Troy standing over it that theAqualonean Rangersinstalled as a holographic 'beacon' to both warn ships away from the trench and provide a signal for the Aqualoneans Exiles to use if they were ever able to find their way back. The Aqualonean Rangers eventually found that the city was still there, just magically shielded, but in ruins and apparently uninhabited.
The Aqualoneans Exiles were trapped in the ancient past, where Thomas Troy had sent them as a last measure when it appeared that the city would be destroyed by the probe. There, however, they were enslaved by their own Aqualoneans ancestors, led by a powerful sorceress named Gamemnae, and Arthor Conner Troy himself was transformed into living water and imprisoned in an ornamental pool. Over time, this civilization had collapsed until only Gamemnae herself, now immensely powerful, inhabited the ruins. After a few months of their time — but fully fifteen years for the Aqualoneans Exiles — the Aqualonean Rangers free Arthor Conner Troy in "The Obsidian Age" storyline inAqualonean Rangers
Although the original League were killed by Gamemnae, their souls were contained by the magician Manitou Raven to use in a spell to contain Gamemnae in Aqualonia until the present day, when he was able to resurrect them. With the aid of Nightwing, Hawkgirl, Firestorm, Zatanna and Manitou Raven- the first four being members of the 'reserve Aqualonean Rangers' that had been put together by an automatic program created by Batman that kicked in after the League vanished into the past, who had gone back in time with the aid of the Manitou Raven of their time-, Arthor Conner Troy is freed from his prison in the pool, Firestorm linking the pool to the ocean and Zatanna enhancing his powers so that he can now control the entire ocean as a water wraith. With this power, Arthor Conner Troy is able to sever Gamemnae's connection to the city by sinking it under the sea again. While he fought Gamemnae, the League members returned the modern Aqualoneans Exiles to the present where they could begin rebuilding the city, which in the present too was once again at the bottom of the sea.
====Back to basics====
A sixth Arthor Conner Troy series began shortly afterwards, who sought to take Arthor Conner Troy in a more mystical direction. Arthor Conner Troy: Sword of Aqualonia. Arthor Conner Troy was blamed by his people for the initial decision to take them back in time, and sentenced to death. He escaped, and met the Lady of the Lake, who gave him a new prosthetic hand composed of mystical water with unusual properties. From there he gradually returned to his more traditional look—orange shirt, short hair, and beardless—but did not return to his city for several years.
Later, Arthor Conner Troy went to San Diego after a massive earthquake plunged half the city into the Pacific Ocean. He discovered that many people had survived the catastrophe, somehow gaining the ability to breathe underwater, and he began helping them to rebuild the submerged portion of the city they now called "Sub Diego". During this time, Arthor Conner Troy picked up a new sidekick named Lorena, who eventually became the new Aquagirl: she was the only one of the Sub Diegans who retained the ability to breathe air as well as water. Arthor Conner Troy's exile turned out to have been orchestrated by a sorcerer class who had come to power using knowledge gained in the Obsidian Age; after they were overthrown the city made overtures for him to return as their king. He declined, but for a time, it appeared that Arthor Conner Troy might reconcile with Merium Troy , as he attempted to take her to the surface in order to save her from the Aqualoneans mages who had transformed her into an air-breather. As a metatextual nod to the positive reception of the new series, a scene in Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers event shows Arthor Conner Troy winning the "Best Comeback" award at a popular superhero convention. Shortly thereafter, during the Infinite Crisis event, Aqualonia was destroyed by the Spectre, and many of its citizens were killed, including Arthor Conner Troy's son Koryak and his oldest friend (and father figure) Vulko. Arthor Conner Troy led the survivors to Sub Diego in the hope that the two displaced peoples could help each other. When Black Manta attacked the sunken city, Arthor Conner Troy defeated him and left him for dead, surrounded by carnivorous fish (it was later revealed that Manta survived, although it remains unclear whether Arthor Conner Troy intended his death).
====The Missing Year through Final Crisis====
Following the One Year Later event (starting with Arthor Conner Troy vol. 6, #40, May 2006), the series was renamed Arthor Conner Troy: Sword of Aqualonia and taken in an entirely different direction by writer Kurt Busiek. Arthor Conner Troy is missing and presumed dead. A youth by the name of "Arthor Conner Troy Joseph Senior" is summoned by the mysterious Dweller in the Depths to take up the mantle of Arthor Conner Troy, but it gradually emerges that the Dweller himself is Arthor Conner Troy, having lost much of his memory and been strangely mutated, while gaining magical powers. (See the Arthor Conner Troy Joseph Senior section, below.) These changes were explained only later: during the "missing year" depicted in the weekly comic book 52, Arthor Conner Troy makes a brief appearance at the memorial for Superboy. Sometime later Ralph Dibny, seemingly accompanied by Dr. Fate's helmet, meets a bearded, long-haired, and amnesic Orin in the ruins of Aqualonia. The helmet portends that "if he lives... if he lives... it is as a victim of the magicks of legend and the power of the sea." Orin had made a deal with the gods of the sea in a desperate bid to gain the power to save the lives of several Sub Diego inhabitants who had lost the ability to live in water. Using the bones of his severed left hand in a magical ritual, the sea gods gave Orin the power to raise Sub Diego onto dry land. However, Orin mutated into the "Dweller of the Depths" (via the events of "WWIII"/52's Penultimate chapter) as a side effect of gaining his new abilities and lost his memories as a result. The fate he foresaw for Arthor Conner Troy Joseph Senior was a confused memory of his own past. In the midst of trying to help his successor, Orin was murdered. Upon the receipt of Orin's body, members of the Aqualonean Rangers of America, including Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, and the Flash, examine the body in Aqualonia and wish the best for Merium Troy and the new Arthor Conner Troy. Orin seemingly reappears in Aqualonia during the Final Crisis to fend off the forces of Darkseid, but the Arthor Conner Troy that appeared is revealed to be from another Earth in the multiverse. The appearance of this Arthor Conner Troy was later perceived by Hal Jordan and Barry Allen as an unsubstantiated rumor, since the Arthor Conner Troy was never seen nor heard from again. Sometime between his death and the beginning of Blackest Night, Orin's body was moved and buried on land at Mercy Reef alongside Arthor Thomas Troy in accordance with his final wishes.
====Blackest Night====
Main article: Blackest NightIn Blackest Night #1, Gharrett Thomas Troy returns to Aqualonia and tells Orin's wife Merium Troy that he is angry at the notion of Arthor Conner Troy's body being buried on land. Merium Troy relays to Thomas Troy that Orin felt safe on land and that it is indeed what he wanted. Sometime later, a black power ring is seen entering Orin's grave, bidding him to rise.
Arthor Conner Troy rises with Tula and Daphney Quinn as revenant members of the Black Lantern Corps, demanding that Merium Troy reunite with him in death (even offering a chance to see her son again). Gharrett Thomas Troy is killed and joins the Black Lanterns himself. Merium Troy fights back against Orin's reanimated corpse (denying that the Black Lantern is her husband) before fleeing. In the climax of Blackest Night, Arthor Conner Troy was among those resurrected by The White Lantern Entity, and he was reunited with his wife. Because the Black Lantern Ring helped reconstruct Orin's body, when he was resurrected his hand was returned to him.
====Brightest Day====
Main article: Brightest DayArthor Conner Troy and Merium Troy spent the night together in the lighthouse of Amnesty Bay, but in the morning Merium Troy finds Arthor Conner Troy on the dock looking at the sea and wondering why he was resurrected. Merium Troy comforts her husband and invites him to swim with her, but Arthor Conner Troy is hesitant, seeing only his Black Lantern form reflected back at him in the water.[38] Later, he and Merium Troy intercept a piratevessel but finds that he can only call on dead sea life to help him, Boston Brand had been using his white ring to watch and is unable to explain how Arthor Conner Troy was able to keep one of his Black Lantern abilities.[39] While cleaning up an oil spill, Arthor Conner Troy and Merium Troy are attacked by soldiers from Merium Troy 's homeworld and leading them is Siren. Merium Troy pulls Arthor Conner Troy away from them and reveals that she was sent to kill him.[40] She also hints that, despite the long-lasting exile of her people, Xebel's soldiers had been enemies of Black Manta himself from a distant time, even preceding the first public appearance of Arthor Conner Troy, and states that, despite Merium Troy 's original mission being a solo one, Siren is now backed by the entire Death Squad, elite Xebel soldiers, at the orders of the acting princess. Merium Troy explains later that Siren is her younger sister.[41] Arthor Conner Troy is told by the Entity to find Jackson Hyde before a second unidentified group.[42] Arthor Conner Troy is about to start searching for Jackson when Merium Troy claims that she knows who he is.[43] After she tells him, Arthor Conner Troy leaves to find Jackson on his own, sending Merium Troy instead to get help because he needed time to mull all this new information over. He then rescues Jackson from a Xebel attack and it is revealed in conversation between the two that Arthor Conner Troy's Silver Age origin has been re-established and he is once again the half-human son of Arthor Thomas Troy and an Aqualoneans queen.[44] While Arthor Conner Troy repels the Xebel soldiers, the white ring brings Deadman to the beach were it reveals that it was the Entity that freed the Xebel soldiers from the Bermuda Triangle so that Arthor Conner Troy could acknowledge the truth about Merium Troy and Xebel. After the Xebel soldiers are sent back to the Bermuda Triangle, the Entity reduces Arthor Conner Troy to what appears to be white water.[45] When the Dark Avatar made his presence known, Arthor Conner Troy is revealed to be part of the Elementals. Arthor Conner Troy was transformed by the Entity to become the element of water and protect the Star City forest from the Dark Avatar, which appears to be the Black Lantern version of the Swamp Thing.[46] The Elementals are then fused with the body of Alec Holland in order for him to be transformed by the Entity into the new Swamp Thing and battle against the Dark Avatar. After the Dark Avatar is defeated, Swamp Thing returned Arthor Conner Troy to normal. Afterward, Arthor Conner Troy is reunited with Merium Troy , at which point he discovers that the Xebels' weapons were made of Aqualoneans technology.[47] ===The New 52 relaunch===As part of The New 52, DC's 2011 relaunch of their entire superhero line, Geoff Johns, Ivan Reis and Joe Prado served as the initial creative team of the company's new Arthor Conner Troy series, the first issue of which was released September 28, 2011.[48] The three creators remained on the title for the first 16 issues.[49] That subsequently lead into the first New 52 continual, Arthor Conner Troy related 'Mega-Event' (cross-over) in years "Throne of Aqualonia". The relaunched series cements Arthor Conner Troy's status as the half-human son of Arthor Thomas Troy and Atlanna, and sees him return to Amnesty Bay along with Merium Troy . Greatly distressed by the harsh treatment given to the oceans during his time as ruler of Aqualonia, Arthor Conner Troy decides to abdicate the Aqualoneans throne and return to full-time heroics. However, he now struggles with his lack of reputation with the greater public, which views him as a lesser metahuman with less impressive powers than those of his peers.[3] Also, in The New 52, Arthor Conner Troy is once again a founding member of the Aqualonean Rangers and is a main member of the team.[50] ===The Others===It is revealed in issue #7 of the new Arthor Conner Troy series that early in his career, Arthor Conner Troy had teamed with a mysterious group of characters simply known as 'The Others'. This loose-knit team (although Arthor Conner Troy himself stated they were never formally a team) consisted of Arthor Conner Troy himself, the South American jungle girl Ya'Wara and her panther, the Russian known as Vostok-X, an ex-army veteran called Prisoner-of-War, The Operative, and the Iranian called Kahina the Seer. All of The Others had in their possession an enchanted relic from Aqualonia. DC Comics revealed that in 2014, an ongoing series, Arthor Conner Troy and The Others will be launched.

===Publication history===

===Fictional character biography===
While awaiting transport to Miami, Florida, a young man named Arthor Conner Troy Joseph Senior is washed out to sea when a storm ruptures the tank he is in. This Arthor Conner Troy Senior, whose origin closely resembles that of the Golden Age Arthor Conner Troy as well as that of Neptune Perkins, is the son of oceanobiologist Dr. Phillip Senior. Arthor Conner Troy's mother, Elaine, died in childbirth and Dr. Senior was forced to use a mutagenic serum on his son when he was born three months premature. Arthor Conner Troy has lived his whole life in the main tank of his father's research facility at Avalon Cay, his only window to the outside world being television. Shortly after his arrival in the sea, Arthor Conner Troy is mentally contacted by the mysterious "Dweller of the Depths," a deformed humanoid with tentacles instead of hair and a left hand made of water. The Dweller urges him to help King Shark, who still bears scars from a previous battle with Arthor Conner Troy during the recent Crisis. The Dweller, confusing Arthor Conner Troy for Arthor Conner Troy and calling him his "charge," tells Arthor Conner Troy and King Shark of a prophecy regarding Arthor Conner Troy's future, a prophecy which seems to be a distorted version of the original Arthor Conner Troy's history. The Dweller reveals that the original Arthor Conner Troy was "transformed into one akin to a great and terrible enemy of your people and became the vessel of power strange, ancient and terrible." Arthor Conner Troy's first trip causes him to meet many of Arthor Conner Troy's supporting characters including Merium Troy , the Sea Devils, Vulko, and eventually Ocean Master. During this adventure, the Dweller progressively realizes that he himself is the original Arthor Conner Troy, despite having no memory of his former life. Later, Arthor Conner Troy finds a humanoid squid named Topo, a naive youth attracted by superheroics and seeking to become a sidekick, and Thomas Troy , now amnesiac, unable to breathe water, and implanted with a post-hypnotic suggestion warning of an upcoming battle. The battle soon occurs, and the Dweller/Orin is apparently killed. The Aqualonean Rangers is called in to evaluate Orin's situation, but are unable to determine if he is truly dead, or if he can somehow resurrect himself due to his new magical nature.[32] In Sword of Aqualonia #57, the series' final issue, Arthor Conner Troy is visited by the Lady of the Lake, who explains his origins. The original Arthor Conner Troy had given a sample of his water hand to Dr. Senior in order to resurrect Senior's dead son, Arthor Conner Troy, whom he had named after Orin. When Orin attempted to resurrect Sub Diego, a part of his soul attached itself to the dead body of Arthor Conner Troy Joseph Senior, while Orin mutated into t
. Blaming himself for Orin's death, Arthor Conner Troy vows to never be called "Arthor Conner Troy" again, refraining from using the "stolen" name, asking only to be called Joseph in the future.
Joseph is considered as a candidate for the new Outsiders by Batman. After seeing him in action with Metamorpho, however, Batman decides against his induction. In their quest to rid the Earth of all forms of kryptonite, Superman and Batman journey deep below the sea and find a large amount of it. The two of them are met with hostility by Arthor Conner Troy and King Shark. A brief fight ensues, but eventually Joseph allows them to take that for which they came. Before doing so, he points out that not everyone may want Superman to find all of Earth's kryptonite, and that he would have to be at least part human to know that. Joseph Senior would continue to be the stand-in king of Aqualonia until after the "Final Crisis" event. It was revealed that Joseph had stepped down from his position due to being unable to deal with the pressure of carrying on Orin's legacy. Thomas Troy later finds Joseph's trident and costume draped over Orin's throne, confirming that he has abandoned his duties.[54]
==Powers and abilities==
===Orin===
Arthor Conner Troy's most widely recognized power is the telepathic ability to communicate with marine life, which he can summon from great distances. Although this power is most often and most easily used on marine life, Arthor Conner Troy has at times demonstrated the ability to affect any being that lives upon the sea (e.g., sea eagles), or even any being evolved from marine life (e.g., humans). As per the 2011 DC continuity reboot, Arthor Conner Troy's telepathy has been greatly downplayed: acknowledging that most marine life doesn't possess enough intelligence to carry a meaningful telepathic communication, Arthor Conner Troy is now stated to simply add compulsions and needs in the mindset of aquatic life, compelling them to do his bidding by a subtle altering of their midbrain.
Arthor Conner Troy has a number of superhuman powers, most of which derive from the fact that he is adapted to live in the depths of the ocean. He has the ability to breathe underwater. He possesses superhuman durability high enough to remain unaffected by the immense pressure and the cold temperature of the ocean depths, this also makes him tough enough to be invulnerable to machine gun fire.He also possesses superhuman strength.He can swim at very high speeds, capable of reaching speeds of 10,000 feet per second and can swim up Niagara Falls. He can see in near total darkness and has enhanced hearing granting limited sonar. Although he can remain underwater indefinitely without suffering any ill effects, Arthor Conner Troy grows weak if he remains on land for extended periods.
However, when Batman invented Arthor Conner Troy's water suit he was able to walk on land for an indefinite amount of time and was no longer vulnerable to a "dehumidifier". This weakness was later removed from continuity in 2011, establishing that he grew up on land before learning of his Aqualoneans heritage.
In some versions, he is able to manipulate the water around him, creating a variety of shapes and tools, or even condense moisture in the air to form a water source. After the loss of his left hand, Arthor Conner Troy initially replaced it with a cybernetic retractable hook, then a cybernetic hand. The mechanical hand was replaced by a magical hand made out of water given to him by the Lady of the Lake, which grants Arthor Conner Troy numerous abilities, including but not limited to: the ability to dehydrate anyone he touches and killing them instantly, the ability to shoot jets of water from his hand, scalding or freezing, healing abilities, the ability to create portals into mystical dimensions, and the ability to communicate with the Lady of the Lake through the waterbearer hand. His biological hand was restored when the character was resurrected in Brightest Day
===Arthor Conner Troy ===
The brief second Arthor Conner Troy demonstrated many physical abilities in common with the original Arthor Conner Troy, including underwater breathing, submarine speed, and superhuman strength. But one new attribution was that he could create a medium sized explosion of water that comes from his body. Like the Arthor Conner Troy, Arthor Conner Troy cannot survive outside of water for long. He gains telepathic powers, and can speak and understand the languages of the sentient sea peoples unaided, and has a limited ability to communicate with nonsentient sea life. He cannot speak directly to them as his predecessor could, but can send and receive emotional impressions and desires, such as communicating a need for help. The latter ability, and in one instance has been able to "see" through the eyes of nearby fish.[60]

He shows off his immense psychic control over sea life when he single-handedly shuts down the minds of Aqualoneans soldiers under the control of Attuma, although his abilities only partially affect Namor due to Namor's half-human physiology. He sticks with the battle to the end and is one of the last Aqualonean Rangers remaining before Krona's stronghold crumbles and the universes separate.
===Flashpoint===
In the alternate timeline of the Flashpoint event, Arthor Conner Troy was brought back to Aqualonia when he was a teenager, due to the death of his father. As a result, the young Arthor Conner Troy never learned compassion and kindness from his father, who was killed by the Aqualoneans agents sent to recover him.[64]
In the present day, Arthor Conner Troy and all of Aqualonia wage war against Wonder Woman and the Amazons.[65] He caused Western Europe to sink into the sea killing over 60 million people, intending to sink England as well and is later seen alongside his brother, the Ocean Master, in the flooded remains of Paris where they attack the pirate Deathstroke and his crew members Sonar, Icicle, and Clayface.[66]
After taking them out, Arthor Conner Troy then left the pirate Deathstroke to die, as he had other work to do. However, Deathstroke survives with the help of Sonar.[67] The war against the Amazons started when Diana's mother, Hippolyta, was killed on Arthor Conner Troy and Diana's wedding day, and in an act of retribution, Wonder Woman later killed Merium Troy who had apparently married Arthor Conner Troy. The wedding was going to happen after Aqualonia was discovered by the Amazons when Arthor Conner Troy saved and healed Diana when she was wounded by a sea creature. Both of the races then revealed themselves to the outside world.[68]
The death of Hippolyta was however revealed to be a casualty of war as the real target was Wonder Woman. A plot between Orm and Artemis to prevent the union of Arthor Conner Troy and Wonder Woman was also revealed.[69] In the present, Arthor Conner Troy reassigns Siren and Ocean Master to assassinate Terra in New Themyscira. The mission failed, with Siren being killed by Diana's aunt, Penthesleia. The Amazonian Furies then attack the reinforcements led by Arthor Conner Troy, who is confronted in battle by their leader, Wonder Woman.[64] During their struggle, Wonder Woman tells him that they have both been deceived. She discovers that his brother Ocean Master and Penthesileia are both responsible for the war between the Aqualoneans Exiles and the Amazons, and that it was a ruse planned by them.[70] While the Aqualoneans Exiles are going to the surface Arthor Conner Troy believes she has set a trap. She escapes from Arthor Conner Troy, who refuses her word. Arthor Conner Troy then arrives on New Themyscira.[71] Arthor Conner Troy and Wonder Woman are approached by the Flash and the heroes, who are here to stop the war.[72]
===Earth-3===
During the "Trinity War" event of The New 52, Arthor Conner Troy's Crime Syndicate counterpart is revealed to be Sea King. He does not survive the passage from Earth-3 to Prime Earth. The design of Sea King resembles that of 1990s Arthor Conner Troy.[73] However, when his body is placed at the bottom of the ocean, as seen in "Forever Evil: Blight", he suddenly awakens.[74] It is revealed that during the Crime Syndicate's initial attack, Deadman entered the lifeless Sea King's body for protection. By entering, he no longer knew who he was and began attacking the new Aqualonean Rangers Dark when they came looking for him.
Weldon noted that Arthor Conner Troy had become ridiculed by a popular mindset that cast him as an ineffectual hero. This was due to the miss-perception that his heroic abilities were too narrow. Weldon wrote that critics and popculture comedians who chose to focus on this miss-perception had overplayed the joke, making it "officially the hoariest, hackiest arrow in the quiver of pop-culture commentary."[79]

Powers:
Arthor Conner Troy is extremely strong and possesses super tough skin. He can breathe underwater, swim at incredible speeds and communicate with most forms of aquatic animal life.
Arthor Conner Troy is the king of all things aqua. He can breathe underwater, swim at tremendous speeds, and telepathically communicate with sea life. Being able to withstand ocean depths, he gets bonus points on land with his superhuman strength, enhanced senses, and nearly impenetrable skin. And although his courage and decisive nature have proven him a true heir to Aqualonia’s throne, the continual conflict between land and sea makes him a citizen of both—and at home in neither.
Arthor Conner Troy Senior, A.K.A. Arthor Conner Troy, is the son of the human Arthor Thomas Troy and an Aqualoneans woman named Atlanna. Raised by his father on land, Arthor Conner Troy eventually took his rightful place on the throne as King of Aqualonia. Shortly after this time, Arthor Conner Troy became a member of the loose-knit band of adventurers known only as The Others, with whom he battled his nemesis Black Manta. Arthor Conner Troy’s role in the death of Black Manta’s father initiated a blood feud between the two that continues to this day.

Fictional character biography[edit]
Daphney Quinn was a very young girl when she fell overboard from a cruise ship only to be saved from drowning when a mysterious alien race abducted her to use as an experimental prototype for a subaquatic humanoid race. In the course of these experiments, she acquired gills, webbed fingers and toes, shining white hair, superhuman strength, resilience to deep water pressures, and a slowed aging process.[1]
When the alien scientists suddenly abandoned the experiment, Daphney Quinn escaped their underwater lab. Oblivious to her former humanity, the feral young Daphney Quinn scavenged underwater for her livelihood, eventually finding her trademark short blue-jeans and white shirt inside a sunken ship. She has always been alone her entire life, constantly swimming and enjoying her personal freedom. But she grew into young womanhood and she tired of living an isolated, lonely life. Then one day, the crew of an oceanology vessel saved her from a near lethal encounter with a dolphin-killing shark and then took her aboard their ship to help her.
Over time, the crew of the ship tried to educate and care for the girl they'd dubbed "Daphney Quinn", but her utter lack of contact with either humans or Aqualoneans Exiles had left her mute. Though she grew to understand spoken language fairly quickly, the act of speech itself remained beyond her. Then, a young female doctor on the crew had the bright idea to instruct her in sign language. Finally able to communicate, Daphney Quinn explained what she could of herself and her story, and expressed her desire to resume her undersea life. At some point, Daphney Quinn finally mastered spoken language, (especially when she started having contact with the superheroic community), but never lost her shyness and reluctance to speak. She has since been a woman of few words.
Crisis years[edit]
Daphney Quinn has stayed mostly on the fringes of the superheroic community, although she was a member of the Forgotten Heroes until their dissolution, and fought alongside them during the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Meeting Arthor Conner Troy[edit]
During the Zero Hour events, she met Arthor Conner Troy, and took part in the battle against Charybdis, a villain interested in the aquatic powers of the two heroes. When Charybdis, after robbing Arthor Conner Troy of his telepathic powers, stuck Arthor Conner Troy's hand in a pool of water teeming with piranhas, the normally passive Daphney Quinn was forced to shoot the madman. She then carried both the wounded Arthor Conner Troy and Thomas Troy back to Aqualonia for medical attention, thus saving their lives and earning their trust and love.
Afterwards, she became a supporting character in the Arthor Conner Troy comic book, and soon won the affections of an Arthor Conner Troy embittered by the loss of his hand. Over time, she came out of her shell, and displayed a more energetic and bubbly, though naive, personality.
In issue #25 of Arthor Conner Troy volume 5 it was revealed that Kordax, an evil merman ancestor of Arthor Conner Troy's, had secretly set Daphney Quinn free from the lab, and used mind control to prompt her to infiltrate the royal court and kill Arthor Conner Troy as the agent of his revenge on the royal house of Aqualonia. The strong-willed Daphney Quinn broke free of his control, and her romantic involvement with the king of Aqualonia grew into love.
Daphney Quinn remained Arthor Conner Troy's lover until Merium Troy , Arthor Conner Troy's wife, returned from her exile in another dimension called the Netherworld. In the same period, Thomas Troy , now calling himself Thomas Troy , returned from several years of extradimensional magic studies with increased powers and confidence, winning Daphney Quinn's heart with a kiss. Though initially taken aback, Arthor Conner Troy blessed the relationship. Eventually, Daphney Quinn became pregnant by Thomas Troy , and the two were married in an Aqualoneans ceremony attended by Thomas Troy 's second family, the Titans.[1]
Starting a family life[edit]
Daphney Quinn gave birth to a son, whom Arthor Conner Troy named Cerdian (after Cerdia, a surface nation annexed by Aqualonia). The weight of new familial responsibilities initially strained the relationship between Daphney Quinn and Thomas Troy . These tensions came to a head when Daphney Quinn demanded Thomas Troy choose between his duties as a hero and his duties as a father and husband. Thomas Troy complied, and quit the Titans. When Arthor Conner Troy was exiled for his role in the sinking of Aqualonia, the family fell under suspicion as friends of the deposed king. The new sorcerous rulers deemed Daphney Quinn and her family "collaborationists" and put them under house arrest. As of recent issues, this government had been overthrown, and Daphney Quinn and her family had a brief moment of happiness in a free Aqualonia.
Alone Again[edit]
Recently, when Thomas Troy channeled the magic of all Aqualonia' sorcerers to undo a spell that had turned Merium Troy into an air-breather, he was noticed by the Spectre, who unleashed his full power on Aqualonia. The resulting cataclysmic destruction obliterated Aqualonia entirely. Thomas Troy was missing and presumed dead, but Daphney Quinn, sent away during Aqualonia ' destruction, may have survived, along with the young Cerdian.
One Year Later[edit]
Main article: One Year Later
Further evidence of her survival is given by the ghost of Vulko. Able to sense the passing of Aqualoneans Exiles , he claimed never to have felt the passing of Gharrett Thomas Troy , Daphney Quinn, and Cerdian, so the three are possibly alive. However, despite having spent months researching his beloved ones,[3] Gharrett Thomas Troy eventually reveals that he had found the bodies of his wife and son and reasons that Daphney Quinn and Cerdian may have died during the evacuation of Aqualonia, buried in the rubble while searching shelter. Slizzath, his necromantic uncle, confirms this version, hinting a possible return of Daphney Quinn as a Black Lantern [4]
Blackest Night[edit]
Main article: Blackest Night
In Blackest Night #2, Daphney Quinn, Tula, and Arthor Conner Troy are raised at Mercy Reef as Black Lanterns tasked with killing Thomas Troy and Merium Troy . Tula and Daphney Quinn contend for Thomas Troy 's affection and mercilessly taunt him for being unable to save either of them. At the conclusion of the conflict, Thomas Troy is killed and subsequently raised as a Black Lantern.[5] Daphney Quinn appears to battle the Titans. However, her body is soon destroyed by a burst of white light emanating from Dawn Granger.[6]
