No he just does not care about his son, unless he’s beneficial in any way especially in killing aquaman

nah, just too /ourguy/ to care.

some reaction potential

Also, if Aqualad is his son, why doesn't he change his name to Aquadad?

Aqualad: Dad, I'm gay.
Black Manta: Hi gay, I'm...going to destroy Atlantis.

Aqualad: Dad, I'm having boyfriend problems.
Manta: *sits up* DOES YOUR BOYFRIEND WORK FOR AQUAMAN?!!?!!!? I'LL KILL HIM!!!!

Aqualad: Dad, this is my boyfriend.
Manta: *shakes hand & leans in* Tell me, do you breathe underwater?
Boyfriend:...no.
Manta: I like him.

Manta: I'm starting my own chapter of PFLAG.
Aqualad: Really dad? That's great.
Manta: Yes, but you also must want to kill Aquaman.

Aqualad: We broke up.
Manta: Shall I destroy him?
Aqualad: Dad...
Manta: Sorry son. I keep doing that. No, of course you should destroy him.

Aqualad: Are you ready for the Pride parade dad?
Manta: Yes, my son. I finished my sign.
Sign: Love is Love is Destroy Atlantis.

Boyfriend: I'd like your blessing to marry your son.
Manta: You have my blessing...
Aqualad: Really dad?
Manta: IF YOU BEST ME IN COMBAT!

Aqualad: Were you upset when I came out.
Manta: No. I was upset when you weren't evil! But one day you'll meet the right enemy and change.

Aqualad, chanting with a group at pride" We're here, we're queer, get...
Manta: REVENGE ON AQUAMAN!

Well done, I had a good chuckle.

._.

Because it sounds too much like Aquaman and seriously, fuck that guy.

Don't confuse open-mindedness with indifference, Aqualad can come out as a furry otherkin MLP lover and Black Manta will still not give a fuck.

The only way he would care is if Aqualad's boyfriend was Aquaman or if Aqualad was in love with Arthur and he would only care because of Arthur and the potential to fuck with Arthur, not because he loves his son.

>"Dad, we wanted you to take care of our baby while we're out of town."
>"Son, I told you before, you need to man up and kill for yourself, be they man or child. That's what I did"
>"Wha-, NO! Not "take care of" our child, I mean look aft- wait. Why am I even asking you?"

Wouldnt he do that if he knew that would piss off Aquaman?

Now I'm picturing Black Manta having focus groups testing for the name and theme to best piss off Aquaman.

Why does he hate Aquaman so much?

because he is autistic

>black manta infects his son with Atlantian aids and makes him to fuck aquaman to give him that Atlantian aids
what if

But he doesn't like that, it makes him Aquamad.

More like extreme tunnel vision

Wouldn't it be hilarious if Kaldur brought home a boyfriend who hates Aquaman, and Manta started treating that guy like the son he always wanted?

Are there any other gay heroes in Aqualads age he could date?

Bunker, but he's been MIA since Rebirth; which is a shame, because I kind of liked him.

Jericho

Wait he's gay? Didn't he like that one chick who died?

THIS is how you do sexuality reveals Marvel, if you're going to change a character from straight to gay, at least do it in a way that shows to the reader that the writer doesn't even care that they are

I mean, i would also hate the guy if he killed my dad for no reason

Jericho already has his own problems to deal with

Maybe he wants to be dicked by a bbc from time to time and I think that Aqualad doesn't even need lube.

>Implying Arthur actually killed his dad
Speaking of which while I read like the first 7 chapters of Aquaman Rebirth I kind of stopped there is it worth continuing?

>Dad, I'm gay.
>At least you not a faggot like Aquaman

>ywn help manta destroy auqaman

...

...

>Aqualad: Dad, this is my boyfriend.
>Manta: *shakes hand & leans in* Tell me, do you breathe underwater?
>Boyfriend:...no.
>Manta: I like him.

Any drawfags out there? This is gold

At least he didn't say he's Aquaman from another dimension. Manta would've gutted him on the spot.

>no faggot son of mine is another version of that guy!

>our guy is a guy who doesn't care about whether or not someone is gay
Well, I guess that confirms we're different from Sup Forums.

Aqualad, on the phone: Yeah, we met on Grindr.
Manta, in the next room: Do you need help grinding someone up, son? Paste or dust?

Manta: When I was a child my father told me homosexuality would destroy the fabric of civilization. So yes son, I am proud of you.

Aqualad: It's just a show dad.
Manta: I'm just saying if they're lip syncing for their life someone SHOULD die. False advertising.

Manta: If you are planning on having intercourse tonight...
Aqualad: Dad!
Manta: Remember to put the "safety" on his/your "death ray" ;)

Manta: I completely support and respect your sexuality my son.
*Aqualad cuts up plastic soda can rings*
Manta: NO SON OF MINE...

Manta: I have procured you a new mate.
Aqualad: Why is he chained to a wall?
Manta: You do a nice thing for your spawn and no thank you.

Kaldur, 6:I want this doll.
Chashier: How about a boys to...
Manta, holding a trident to his neck: He SHALL have the doll AND her dreamhouse

Manta: GET AWAY FROM MY SON AND OUT OF MY HOUSE!
Aqualad: Dad! He said he's from ATLANTA. Atlanta!
Manta: I DON'T CARE ITS TOO CLOSE!

Manta: I've set you up with a young man. Very evil.
Aqualad: ugh okay. When is the date?
Manta: In 6-10 years. Five with good behavior.

Aqualad: I'm having a boy over.
Manta: Is it that nice boy who robbed all those banks?
Aqualad: it's Robin.
Manta:...LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN!

Aqualad: Bye dad. We're going to a gay club.
Manta: This "gay club" is it a weapon meant to bludgeon your enemies?
Aqualad: NO!

Manta: It's a shame people disown their queer & trans children.
Aqualad: It really is.
Manta: Especially, since the true enemy is Aquaman.

Aqualad: Dad, I'm gay.
Manta: Does being gay hinder you from destroying Atlantis?
Aqualad: I guess not but...
Manta: THEN I ACCEPT YOU SON!

Aqualad: Sometimes I feel like being gay is all I am.
Manta: It's a part of you, not all of you. Like slaughtering Atlantis is a part of me.

>we're all just meat
I'm not sure if this scene is supposed to be uplifting or depressing

You took something funny and made it suck. Good job.

Manta doesn't give a fuck about his son. That's what's so funny about it.

>Love is Love is Destroy Atlantis.
my sides

It can't just be fish then, that's lame. Needs to be the Atlantean army under Orin's mom/grandpappy.

I'm sure there are plenty of villains who hate their children enough to not care if they're gay or w/e. Brainiac for example, who hates everyone so much that he doesn't even care that his grandson agrees with him.

twitter.com/bilaliswrong/status/892938733724545027

They're all from the same person's Twitter thread.

So I guess that shows that Sup Forums's response to stuff is pretty arbitrary.

Vril, Lyle and Querl are only very tenuously Braniac's "children" assuming you mean them.

They're still related, and he really, really hates them. Almost as much as he hates Superman, even.

I remember getting triggered like fuck at some guy who thought all the younger Braniacs should be cut off to keep Superman and Braniac's rivalry purer, stronger and more accessible. "Who cares about Vril Dox?" etc.

It's not supposed to be either of those. Black Manta doesn't care about that shit.

>black gay who dislikes Blaqualad
He seems unironically legit.

Manta is the best villain. Single-minded determination never looked so good.

Why is Brainiac so mad?

Lol, it's not like they interfere with their rivalry at all, you don't even have to know about them to read and enjoy most Brainiac stories. If anything their existence makes Brainiac more fleshed out as a character, and seeing how each of them deals with living in his shadow is pretty interesting.

1. He's a psychopath
2. He's obsessed with knowing everything, keeping all that knowledge to himself and controlling stuff. He's mad at Superman because his existence means that Brainiac doesn't own all of Krypton's knowledge, he hates his relatives because they're dumber than him and won't do exactly what he wants them to do, and he hates Luthor and everyone else because they're dumb and in his way.

Manta does not judge, he just hates.

>Aqualad: We broke up.
>Manta: Shall I destroy him?
>Aqualad: Dad...
>Manta: Sorry son. I keep doing that. No, of course you should destroy him.

Fuck. This one got me.

nah he faked that

you just KNOW Manta's left hand is playfully stroking his cock in that top panel

This, Black Manta just doesn't care. Is not like he cares about his son either

>Aquaman's one weakness is pink coral
Intredasting

Some of this are actually pretty funny, congratulations user

Is this an edit?

No, balck manta pretended he did all his evil because of autism, had aquaman find an elaborate and expensive way to cure him, pretend to be cured and then show up again and fuck his day again because he wanted to fuck with hiM

CLASSIC Black Manta!

The important aspect is the reactions or importance of it to the characters.

>Manta not giving a fuck about his son being gay because in the end nothing outside of his hate matters to him
Correct

>Titania beating the shit out of her loyal and surprisingly loving husband and basically surrending because Thor is female
Incorrect

DC ALWAYS WINS BABY

Manta knows his dad was a scum pirate lord tho.

Has anyone put together a complete list of classic Black Manta moments? I've got:
>killed his baby
>desecrated said baby's funeral
>"How's the wife and kid?"
>faked autism just to make Aquaman feel bad for beating up an autist
>pretended to be a black supremacist and convinced a bunch of black panthers to help him destroy Atlantis so Aquaman would look racist for trying to stop them, or something
>modified his visor when he was on the suicide so that every enemy he encountered looked like Aquaman to him
>spent his days gutting fish in a market after Aquaman died because he didn't know what else to do with himself, then murders everyone in the place when he finds out Aquaman is alive and REEEs all the way to the ocean
There's gotta be more, right? That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

>>pretended to be a black supremacist and convinced a bunch of black panthers to help him destroy Atlantis so Aquaman would look racist for trying to stop them, or something
Did he seriously do this?

He fucking DID

>took over the Illuminati and changed their plans from Take-Over-The-World to Fuck Aquaman!

Fuck the Illuminate!

I mean the reason why he even had a half atlantean son was to train him to kill Aquaman.

Black Manta fucking owns.

Holy shit. Just imagine the shit that will go on between Manta and Deathstroke when they eventually break up.

Remember when the actor for Manta teased us with a costume reveal?

We need a writefag to get on this.

>look up the actor
>"Yahya Abdul-Mateen II"

He looks cool enough, but could they have picked someone with a more blatantly ethnic name?

>>modified his visor when he was on the suicide so that every enemy he encountered looked like Aquaman to him
When did that happen?

> murders everyone in the place when he finds out Aquaman is alive and REEEs all the way to the ocean
This is probably my favorite Manty moment. That one panel of him just walking into the ocean without his suit had me rolling.

Skwad

Ehh he's a cool dude
twitter.com/yahya/status/889654111959998465?lang=en

Wow, DC's going pretty cheap with the costume budget on this one, eh?

It's called Minimalist you uncultured swine

What an awesome dude.

Also, yahya is pretty cool, too

I thought he was bi?

You're damn right he did.

Bi just means "Gay Lite."

based Black Manta

He did it twice.

Faking autism to do all that still sou do pretty autistic. You sure the autism cure wasn't faulty

Holy shit

Can't cure the unwilling

>Sign: Love is Love is Destroy Atlantis.
spat my coffee

i liked him and superboy

That's nothing. There's also the time that Black Manta murdered Aquaman's infant son by suffocation and then constantly throws it in Aquaman's face that he murdered his son.

He is truly a magnificent asshole.

God damn, he's my favourite villain now

>desecrated said baby's funeral

He also desecrated Aquaman's dad's grave.

But why does Black Manta hate Aquaman?

Fuck it
Any essential Black Manta comics Sup Forums

I've got to know more about this glorious black asshole

Food poisoning.

>Manta: No. I was upset when you weren't evil! But one day you'll meet the right enemy and change.
>yfw Manta sets up his own death to look like Aquaman/Aquaman's offspring did it just so that Aqualad could have his own archenemy

Drawfag I summon you
