Aqualad

'''Kaldur'ahm, also known as Jackson Hyde', is a superhero appearing in both media published by DC Entertainment and American comic books published by DC Comics. While the character was created by Brandon Vietti, Greg Weisman and Phil Bourassa for the television series Young Justice, and voiced by Khary Payton, the comic book version debuted earlier in Brightest Day'' #1 (August 2010). While intended to be incarnations of the same character and possess various similarities, such as sharing the Aqualad and Aquaman codename and are the biological son of Black Manta, their histories and background differs.

The animated version's name is based upon Cal Durham, a henchmen and right-hand assistant of Black Manta in comics. Within the television series, Kaldur'ahm is the son of villain Black Manta and Atlantean Sha'lain'a, raised by the latter alongside his adoptive father Cal Durham, who settled into Atlantis sometime after abandoning a infiltration mission and genetically altering himself with Atlantean attributes. Known for his often mature and responsible personality growing up, he eventually became Aquaman's protege after defeating Ocean Master with the help of Garth with their skills in sorcery. Over time, as a member of the Team, he rises as a skilled and measured team leader before eventually adopting the Aquaman codename and is designated as chairman of the Justice League.
