Mera was merely the Sea King's girlfriend instead of wife on the show for whatever reason, but it's a fool's gambit considering ABC had the Fantastic Four that season, and at least they were up to speed with the comics.<br /><br />The hard water balls Aquaman threw on the show was actually what Mera was capable of in the books. The only flaw to Filmation's presentation was giving Mera the short shrift. Somehow, H-B never bothered to use her on Super Friends all that time.......hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-79124098163817204382012-02-28T11:12:44.848-05:002012-02-28T11:12:44.848-05:00Didn't she call her seahorse Clytie in her fir...Didn't she call her seahorse Clytie in her first appearance?

My kids and I have enjoyed watching them together. Overall, I think I like Filmation's treatment of Aquaman over their Superman and Batman toons. Maybe it's because this is Aquaman's only solo show. <br /><br />But hey Rob, let's not dis Robin, okay? Garth would be nowhere without Dick Grayson!<br /><br />ChrisEarth 2 Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-48137932768487203942012-02-28T07:45:05.997-05:002012-02-28T07:45:05.997-05:00This show introduced an entire generation to Aquam...This show introduced an entire generation to Aquaman. I loved it, still do. The amazing Phil Jimenez once said to me that he was so surprised how many people knew Aquaman by this show and because of Superfriends. He said so many remember him as always being in the back seat of the invisible jet!

I always had to go to Sunday School and church in '67 and '68! ;)<br /><br />It drove me CRAZY how Filmation's Aquaman had more powers than did the comicbook Aquaman! Filmation's could throw hard water balls, too! LOL :) I always wished DC had let Aquaman keep that power. :)<br /><br />Thanks for the post.

(I think the closest was referring to her as a friend.) BUT she had a pink seahorse!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
