Aquaman

Aquaman, swift and powerful monarch of the ocean.

With ability to summon and command

all creatures of the deep.

Aquaman, who with his teenage ally, Aqualad

guards and defends all that lives in the seas

against the forces of evil.

Aquaman, King of the Seven Seas.

A frigid fog blankets the sea surface

where two mighty creatures lock in titanic battle.

A giant squid and a huge dragon beast.

Mighty waves, Aquaman!

Something's got every fish in the ocean

swimming for its life.

We've got to find out what stirred them up.

Come on, Aqualad.

Flappin' frostfish, Aquaman!

Why is it getting so co-co-cold?

Can't understand it. These are normally warm waters.

Wait. What's that ahead?

'Suffering sea snakes!'

An Ice Dragon!

That's what caused the stampede and the icy waters.

Let's go.

thud thud

Moving at terrific speed

Aquaman creates balls of compressed water

and fires them at his huge foe.

Thud

Aquaman. He's trapped inside his own water wall.

Now, Imp!

Thanks, Tadpole.

This deep-freeze monster is too much. We need help.

From the Sea King's brain telepathic commands radiate.

Stay here, Storm.

You too, Imp.

Now, Aqualad, let's get that monster.

Look out, Aqualad!

Thud

Here he comes again.

To the surface fast.

swoosh

Here we are, frozen face.

Thud

Yeah!

Hit the brink, Tusky.

Splash

thud

Aquaman, what now?

'Look out!'

Great gastropods!

It's turned the sea surface to ice.

Into the water, quick!

- Yipes! - I've got you, Tadpole.

Oh, no! It froze Tusky.

Trapped within the solid ice block..

...Aquaman issues a telepathic command to his loyal fish.

splash

- Oh, boy! That feels better. - Come on, Aqualad.

Let's find that dragon before he creates more havoc.

Grab the horses, Aqualad. I'll handle Mr. Dragon.

So you wanna play rough, eh?

How's this?

splash

splash

You did it, Aquaman.

That monster's out cold.

But... now what?

I'm taking care of that now, Minnow.

How are you gonna keep that dragon in there, Aquaman?

You'll see in a minute, Aqualad. Stand back.

As Aquaman spins at fantastic speed

creating a wall of water inside the ice cave

the stunned dragon revives.

Aquaman, watch out!

Leapin' lionfish! He's sealed himself into that iceberg.

Yes. That ought to hold him for a while.

Now, another job for the whales.

There.

The ocean current will take our dragon friend

into Arctic waters, where he'll stay in cold storage forever.

Cool, Aquaman. Real cool.

- What's that? - It's Tusky.

We forgot about him.

Thud

I'm sorry, Tusky.

Okay. Okay!

I said I'm sorry, didn't I?

In just a moment, we'll return

with another exciting adventure

featuring a guest star from the galaxy of super superhero.

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.

A chartered plane bearing members

of Ivy University's Science Faculty

approaches a small island

on which they plan to establish a research center.

What do you think of the location, Professor Palmer?

Well, it appears to be ideal, Professor Brown, but..

...I'm puzzled by the weird plant life down there.

Now, from a high vantage point on the island

angry eyes, observe the plane's approach.

They're going to land, Strail.

No one, but no one, must discover what I'm doing here.

'They've got to be destroyed.'

As Strail flicks a switch

electronic impulses activate giant plants.

Clouds of spores, burst from their flowers

and drift with the wind.

- What happened? - Don't know.

Engine's gone haywire.

Unnoticed amid the confusion

Professor Ray Palmer activates a secret belt switch.

And in a flash, he's reduced to the tiny power packed form

of the Atom.

Must get to the engines fast.

We're starting to lose altitude.

Plant spores. So that's what causing all the trouble.

Oh! We're in a dive.

We're plunging toward the sea.

We're doomed. We're gonna be killed.

It's now or never.

There she goes.

Oh, one of the engines is working again.

Glory be!

They made it. They're landing.

Now they'll regret they ever saw this island.

I'm... suddenly... sleepy.

Brain feels numb.

Strange gas.

Can't fight it.

Ha-ha. They're all knocked out.

Now, go get them.

Sure thing, boss.

A short time later, the Atom revives

and is shocked to find himself alone.

Where's everybody gone?

So you see, gentlemen, I cannot risk

permitting you to leave this island alive.

Great electrons! They've been taken prisoner.

The world is not yet ready to learn

'of my brilliant experiments which combines'

'electronic wave patterns with plant growth.'
