His autistic father was raped on a boat by a bunch of racist pirates, and Aquaman did nothing.
Aquaman
...
Does his oval head give him a tactical advantage?
Aquaman
Aquaman called him a meanie head and Manta never recovered from such a heinous blow.
The one he used during his time in the Suicide Squad made him see his targets as Aquaman
Wow, he must really hate Aquaman
nigga you got no fucking idea
That helmet modification was the reason he joined the squad in the first place
Are you serious????
>The one he used during his time in the Suicide Squad made him see his targets as Aquaman
I fucking love this ridiculous asshole
His son is gay and working for his nemesis
Seriously, fucking everything I hear about Black Manta just makes him better.
He's the only black man on Earth that knows how to swim.
Probably got raped by a dolphin.
The Ocean depths.
Full of unimaginable bling; the stuff of innumberable grills, from which a gold plated diamond encrusted submarine might be forged.
Only one negro has the grit, the determination, the steely resolve to master the art of swimming.
No, not just swimming; the terrifying ordeal of deep sea diving.
Finally all of Poseidon's lost scrilla would be his and his alone.
And then he made the awful discovery that The Man had already built a mansion at the bottom of the ocean, and claimed it all for his own.
A curse and a blessing

I can't upload for some reason
Jesus Christ.
The madman took over a terrorist organization that was on the verge of world domination just so he could use them to fuck with Aquaman. Manta is a man of sheer will and limitless potential
He's got the autism.
You!
I fucking love you!
Thats some dedication
He revealed he was faking the autism to make people hate Aquaman for punching a mentally disabled man.
He's Ahab and Aquaman is Moby Dick.
So what was Black Manta up to in the alternate universe of Injustice? Did he died?
That's his shtick.
He hates Aquaman.
He has many reasons for hating Aquaman, and all of them are made up.
Even his legitimate reasons for hating Aquaman are actually made up.
Every time he reveals some reason that he hates Aquaman, he does it just to screw with Arthur.
His helmet is in the Plastic Man issue. So he was where all the prisoners were under the sea.
I think his helmet also appeared in Ground Zero. It was under the sea and partially destroyed.
Feels bad man
he's a stage hazard in I2, he's alive and hating.
He remembers an alternate timeline where he was Aquaman and he blames Aquaman for taking everything he loved in that world by replacing him.
The last arc he was in in Aquaman was great. Won't spoil it but his ridiculous over the top hatred of Arthur was on full display.
The beautiful thing is even Manta forgets why he hates Arthur or who struck first, and it doesn't matter at this point. Manta's rage has consumed him, and he has no purpose if Arthur is dead. He is a mortal man, one who seeks to make a godlike king's life hell
Blaquaman.
No blue underbelly.
Things got weird.
Autism
Its not like the petty, jealous hate Lex has for Supes or the love/hate thing Joker has for Bats, Black Manta's hatred of Aquaman is ineffable it'd be beyond human comprehension if it wasn't so base and element. There is NOTHING in Black Manta's life but his cosmic murderboner for Arthur. Arthur could get flung 20 million years into the past and Black Manta would find a way to join him so he could continue to make his life awful.
>he faked Autism just to fuck with Arthur
Is he our guy?
>implying you're faking
Wasn't there one time he pretended to be a black rights activist and relocated a bunch of black people to the sea floor just to fuck with Aquaman?
He's essentially Captain Ahab.
Boon better make him DLC.
Yep. Young Justice Manta subtly had that going on too. You can tell from all the African tribal masks around his hideout, and the fact that his henchmen are all black guys. No one's ever brought it u either because it's so subtle and inconsequential, but the black rights thing flares up now and then. Especially his speech to Aqualad before their battle where he talks about the world beating you down. Weisman's a slick fuck.
Not to mention the fact that he hated Aquaman more than he loved his son.
I get that it's fan fiction tier but why can't he get a red lantern ring?
Need a Thawne and Black Manta team-up book. Can't believe it hasn't been done yet.
Red Lanterns are chosen for righteous anger, those who have been wronged. Arrocitus had his planet genocided, Bleez got rape room'd, Dex star got thrown down a bridge, etc. Anger is not really the same as hate.
Now Doomsday, there's someone who shouldve had a ring taking into consideration how many times he was killed as a kid in the name of science.
I felt like the Aquahateboner was no doubt present, but felt more toned down. If the whole him being Aqualad's dad turned out to be a 20 something year long ruse orchestrated by him to hurt Aquaman then that would've been classic Manta.
Yes, he posed as a black supremacist to gather a militia with the plan to destroy Atlantis and rebuild it as a Blacktopia under the sea. All this, just so Aquaman would seem vaguely racist when he tried to stop them.
I mean aquaman killed his dad, maybe
Exactly
Manta is just bitter, it's about the same reason why Luthor can't get a red ring despite his loathing for Supes
That line from Atrocitus about how "real wrath and hate come from pain and loss" was pretty on point for comic book philosophy
Why is Manta so much better than Zoom?
Is it because he lacks any true legitimate motive, and it's literally pointless hate for hate's sake?
Is it because he's a relatively normal guy fighting what is a god among men instead of an equal or arguably superior?
Did Black Manta build his own suit?
Thawne has a very clear backstory and motivation as to why he acts the way he does. He's an obsessive fanboy gone psychotic..
Geoff Johns becomes Thawne?
How are he and Ocean Master Aquaman's only worthwhile villains
King Shark needs to get out from under Amanda Waller's thumb.
>What's his problem?
Muh dead dad
No one knows
user, you can't keep being in denial of your condition
He deserves green
There's an Earth in the multiverse where they're likely combined
That king fisher could have been a good recurring villain. To bad NEMO got given to Manta
I was watching a little bit of Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack the other day on Youtube, and you know what I realized? Black Manta and Aquaman should be like Char Aznable and Amuro Ray, if they already aren't, in that they just fucking HATE each other, each one's hearts and minds filled with total, almost all-consuming (in Manta's case) loathing for one another. Just thinking about Manta pisses Aquaman off more than anything else in the world. That should be the relationship those two have: utter contempt towards one another.
You see, with Superman looks at Lex Luthor and is ultimately disappointed, that an utterly brilliant man like him should exist only to kill Superman, putting many people, potentially millions in harms way, in order to reach this goal. Superman ultimately views Lex Luthor as a pathetic, egotistical waste of potential.
Batman? Batman is utterly disgusted by the Joker's actions but ultimately finds him sick in the head. He would want nothing more than the Joker to be locked away for the rest of his life, with Joker having had successful psychiatric treatment, so that the clown could look upon every grievous act of violence, every senseless murder, every bit of horror and terror he's put innocent people through on a whimsy to please himself in his horrible little games, and feel great shame - possibly a fate worst than even death.
But Aquaman? Aquaman wants Manta dead. There is nothing between the two but complete and total hatred for one another.
magnificent logic. I can't poke a hole through any of it. user, you're awesome.
Wait, seriously?
I thought Aquaman cured his autism, only for him to still be an asshole.
Yeah, he was just faking the whole time.
Because fuck Aquaman.
>Professor Zoom/Black Manta: World's Pettiest
That sounds amazing.
He's a child who is autistic.
I can't post the pic
They both have desires that are completely counter to Aquaman's. Aquaman wants a nice life with his wife and kid? Here comes Manta. Aquaman wants to bring Atlantis and surface world relations closer? Here comes Ocean Master.
>Give me the ring, Atrocitus, you know i can be a powerful Red Lantern.
>No way in hell, Black Manta, you're crazy!
That would honestly be a series of Zoom and Manta coming up with convoluted plans that are immediately ruined when either Aquaman or Flash show up because Manta or Zoom will abandon the plans to fight their respective nemesis
Yfw there's a world in which manta and zoom are merged into one being
>Black Zoom is responsible for everything bad that ever happened in the Marvel Universe
>Yes, even that.
>Especially that.
He wants to kill/conquer the ocean.
Since doing the former would kill him too and doing the latter would just make him king of a lot of water, making Aquaman's life a living hell is a far more thrilling alternative.
>Aquaman and Manta are fighting
>Manta goes "why do you hate me? Is it because I'm Black?"
>then cuts Aquaman's hand off in the split second of hesitation he has
Earth-32 is your best bet for this to actually be a thing.
Image uploads seem to be acting up, so here's a link.
Well that was probably the least evil version of Manta, though I actually really liked the contrast between his genuine care for Kaldur and his murderboner for Aquaman.

Half the book would be them arguing over who hates/fucked over their nemesis more.
he's black duh
...
he was stuck in a Sup Forums thread meme
And this is what happens when Sup Forums repeatedly tells me that my post has failed and it doesn't show but apparently it DOES go through.
Make this man a Red Lantern
>He's essentially Captain Ahab
There we got. This user right here. He figured it out.
He doesn't have a problem. He has a grudge and a super-helmet and that's all he needs
Autistic loathing of Aquaman.
Which are the best Black Manta stories?
Remember that time Black Manta had a society purely composed of black people wearing diving suits?
...
This was during the Brightest day run right? Kinda fucked up he lost his hand right after he got resurrected with a brand new hand also someone post the pic of Manta killing everyone in his fish store because Arthur was ressurected
This is some Joker level obsession
>also someone post the pic of Manta killing everyone in his fish store because Arthur was ressurected
Here it is
Fighting Aquaman is the only thing he has in his live, isn't it?
Yes.
Remember that time he took over and crashed an entire century old secret organization with his short term thinking by devoting every single asset it had into ruining Aquaman's life?
Writers just need to use them more often. Its the same problem with WW's rogues. I think it'd be possible if Fisherman became a Kraven type character
