Black Manta

Black Manta is an enemy of Aquaman and an agent of the Light.

History
He and his men attempted to steal a large starfish creature frozen in ice from the Science Center in Atlantis. During the assualt, he encountered Aqualad and Garth. The three began to fight, and Manta became increasingly agitated that he was unable to defeat either of them. He resorted to destroying the creature with a small missile, saying "if I can't have it, no one can!" He is later revealed to be in league with The Light when he reports the failure of his mission, but tells them that he put "plan b" into effect (blowing up the creature).

Equipment
Manta Sub: The Manta Sub is Black Manta's primary mode of transportation. It is a submarine shaped in the form of a giant manta ray and is powered by atomic fusion. On August 27th, it served as phase four of the plan to extract a frozen giant echinoderm. It would appear above the Science Center and melt a hole in the dome then tow the object away. Black Manta failed to extract it and escaped aboard the submarine.

Manta Stings: Manta Stings are explosives fashioned in the shape of a manta ray and are utilized by Black Manta and his squads of henchmen. On August 27th, several of the Manta Stings were planted in Sectors One, Two, Three, and Five of Poseidonis as a diversion.

Plasma Rifle: Very lethal automatic weapons that shoots plasma energy. Not really used by Black Manta, but they were used by most of his henchmen.

Rocket Launcher: A lethal weapon that shoots rocket-propelled-grenades, it was used by one of Black Manta's henchmen when they attacked Atlantis.

Aqualad
He seemed to extremly dissapointed that Aqualad serves Aquaman willingly, going as far as calling it a waste.

Aquaman
He seems to hate Aquaman thinking that Aqualad working for him is a waste and that schools waste their lives for him.
