Aquaman

Aquaman!

Swift and powerful monarch of the ocean.

With ability to summon and command

all creatures of the deep.

Aquaman, who with his teenaged ally, Aqualad

guards and defends all that lives in the seas

against the forces of evil.

Aquaman, King of the Seven Seas.

From a distant sea a strange flotilla

approaches Aquaman's home waters.

From afar, they appear to be whales.

But actually they are mechanical replicas

manned by evil Mermen.

Attention, Mermen.

'Today, the Sea King's reign will end.'

Henceforth, I, Queen Vassa, will rule the Seven Seas.

Ah. Aquaman's friend Mera.

Capture her.

'Oh, Tusky, it's just a whale.'

Your right. It's not a real whale.

Go, Tusky, go.

Aquaman, help! Come quick, please.

- That's Mera. - Let's ride.

Let's go.

The whale ship captured her.

They're turning. Heading back toward us.

I'll send for a reception committee.

Pressure is terrific.

Must hold out until help arrives.

Hold on, Aquaman. Here come the troops.

If he lets go, it'll snap shut on him.

Come on.

Good work, team.

Applying his great strength

Aquaman breaks off

the solid-steel tail flukes of the whale ship.

Then rudderless, the metallic monster runs wild.

Holy halibut!

It's gonna crash into that reef.

And Mera's inside.

Thud

Mera, be ready to zip out. Fast.

'Hurry, Aquaman, hurry.'

thud

Come on. Let's get out of here.

Wait, Aquaman.

There are four other ships

heading for Atlantis.

We've gotta stop 'em, tadpole.

- I wanna go with... - No.

You go to the Aquacave.

At this moment

Queen Vassa's whale ships

take battle positions

outside the dome city.

All ships, fire shock rays.

'Atlantis must be destroyed.'

crack

Excellent. It's cracking.

'Hit it again and again.'

How are we gonna break this up, Aquaman?

We need help, fast.

Responding to the Sea King's summons

marine creatures of all types

race to the scene of the impending disaster.

But meanwhile, destructive rays from Queen Vassa's whale ships

continue to bombard the dome of Atlantis.

It's that blasted Aquaman.

Break formation! Repel the attackers!

'Uh-oh, the ship's out of control.'

boom

We still have two ships. Blast Aquaman out of the sea.

- Destroy him. - Charge.

If it's a charge they want, we'll give it to 'em.

'With electric eels.'

- Aah! - Abandon ship.

It's running wild. Heading towards Aqualad and Imp.

Let's stop it, big fellow.

Go, Imp. Get out of here.

Crash

Good work, my sea elephant.

Now, only Vassa's ship is left.

I, Vassa, will not be defeated.

Ram the dome. Destroy the city.

Storm, grab the chain.

Hold on, Storm. Hold on for dear life.

Well, well. If it isn't the princess of whales.

I'm not a princess, I'm a queen.

Queen of what?

Look.

Thud

Alright, Aquaman.

You win this time.

I'm your prisoner.

No, you're a prisoner only of your own greed and ambition.

- Go home, Queen Vassa. - Very well, I'll go.

But I shall return one day.

'Uh-oh. Tusky's in trouble.'

Again? Settle down, whiskers. That was no whale ship.

You rammed a real whale, Tusky.

See?

Come on.

Let's go.

In just a moment, we'll return with another exciting adventure

featuring a guest star from the galaxy of super superheroes.

Through the magic alchemy of nature's

most awesome sources of energy

Ray Palmer, atomic physicist becomes... The Atom.

A power-packed mighty mite

whose brilliant mind and great strength serve law and order

against crime and injustice.

Tiny Titan, scourge of evil-doers!

The Atom.

Tracking the source of a series

of strange atmospheric disturbances

a scientific investigating team comes to a concrete structure

in an isolated countryside.

These radioactive emanations

come from this block house, gentlemen.

No doubt of that.

But what do you suppose this is, Professor Palmer?

There's only one way to find out. Come on.

Oh!

Greetings, gentlemen.

- Let go of me. - Unhand me at once.

- What's goin' on here? - What's the meaning of this.

You're just in time to witness my triumph.

As soon as we have generated maximum power

you shall see for yourselves.

And it'll be the last thing you'll ever see.

Good work, Dr. Rokar.

We, of the planet Zirgo will reward you well.

Once you have wiped out Earth's capacity for space exploration.

- Blake, Palmer? - Blake here, Sims.

You alright, Palmer?

'He must've passed out.'

Right, this is where Palmer passes out

and the Atom comes in.

Clicking a secret belt switch

Ray Palmer activates the awesome energy that shrinks him

to the minute titanic form of the Atom.

First job is to free the prisoners.

But now as the Atom breaks, an electric eye beam..

- Uh-oh. - Escape attempt.

Robots, intercept quickly.

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick.

It's the Atom. Destroy him. Destroy him!

The Atom? Where did he come from?

Sorry, pals, I've got other ideas.

I've got to get to your electronic brain.

Now I think I've got this guy on my team.

Blast that Atom! He's destroying the robots!

Now I can release my friends.

- Everybody out! Hurry! - What about Professor Palmer?

Get goin'. I'll take care of him.

Control room alert. Maximum power reached.

Activate destructo units now.

Destructo unit on, Dr. Rokar.

Good. Return to headquarters at once.

Your too late, Atom.

In just 30 seconds a massive jolt of radioactive waves

'will destroy every missile launching site on Earth.'

I gotta get to the main transmitter source..

...fast.

That looks like a miniature nuclear battery.

'That must be it.'

Do something, Rokar, before that miniature man ruins all.

Don't worry. It's too late now for anything to stop us.
