The same goon who made Hal Jordan into a generic cocky chatterbox? Yes. Some people (falsely) believe that if not for Green Lantern: Rebirth (the story that rebooted Hal Jordan a few years ago), Hal Jordan would have never been successful in comics again. Geoff Johns is basically the creative mind behind Ryan Reynolds: Green Lantern 8) He is DC's version of Joe Quesada. |

Because he was revealed to be black in the comics a loooooong time ago. Admittedly I'm not a huge Aquaman fan, but my understanding is that he's vengeful toward Aquaman's family, not "all white people." There certainly have been extremist "black power" type villains in comics though. Not nearly as many as white power types (which I am okay with because there are just a lot more white people in the U.S. than black people) |

I honestly think that's one of the origins

For most of his published history, Black Manta had no definitive origin story. The first was given in #6 of the 1993 Aquaman series. In this origin, the boy who would become Black Manta grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, and loved to play by the Chesapeake Bay. As a youth he was kidnapped and sexually abused on a ship for an unspecified amount of time. At one point he apparently saw Aquaman with his dolphin friends and tried to signal him for help but was not seen. Finally, he was forced to defend himself, killing one of his tormentors on the ship with a knife. Hating the emotionless sea (and Aquaman, whom he saw as its representative), the boy was determined to become its master.[3]
A second origin was given in #8 of the 2003 Aquaman series. In this origin, the boy who would become Black Manta was an autistic orphan and was placed in Gotham City's Arkham Asylum. He felt comfortable in freezing cold water, while cotton sheets were excruciatingly painful. Because the attendants at Arkham did not know how to deal with autism, they would end up restraining him to the bed as he struggled and screamed whenever they tried putting him there. The boy was also fascinated when he saw Aquaman on television.
The boy would end up being subjected to experimental treatments. One treatment seemed to clear the boy's head, but left him violent as a result; he killed the scientist who had administered the treatment and escaped from Arkham
... so there you go, he's either a sexual abuse victim or an autistic kid that Arkham experimented on. Either way, as good a reason to become a super villain as I can think of.

Just being withing 5 miles of Arkham will make you evil. Given that at least 3 different Bat-villains are former employees there, I'm inclined to agree. |

Just said to Sam "Tristram from Stardust is now going to be Daredevil." She looked at me as if someone just shot her cat.
