Oy vey! Just when I had been able to eliminate the Underworld Unleashed version of Black Manta from my memory, the Aquaman Shrine has to go and bring it all back??!! Curse you!!!!!
Honestly, I'd rather read about UU Black Manta all day over seeing more of the Erik Larsen version of Aquaman... I know rob! has a duty to report on all aspects of the Sea King, but the less Larsen the better, in my book. lol
Underworld Unleashed Black Manta works much better as an Elseworlds concept. We could always just pretend that a lot of '90's Aquaman stuff is an Elseworlds.
I gotta say, 90s Aquaman got me into the character - Underworld Unleashed Manta included. It was cool for what it was. And at a time when Aquaman jokes were still rampant, the hook and beard look really did a lot to shed the goofy Super Friends image (plus, I love his hair like that). As for Manta, it was interesting while it lasted. The first few stories were good! He could even squeeze into his old skinsuit if need be. Once the Larsen era started though, writers didn't show a lot of love to the mutant Manta.

ALL aspects of Aquaman are covered eventually. Our apologies.
