* Justice League Tower of Babel. The entire League, aside from Batman, is hit with tricks and death traps by Ra's Al Ghul that he stole plans for from Batman and modified to be more lethal. In Aquaman's case, he's hit with a version of Scarecrow's fear gas that causes him to fear water, meaning he would eventually die from staying out of it. But he manages to power through and overcome the fear, and then goes on to rescue the rest of the Justice League (minus Superman was only hit with Red Kryponite that drove him away from Earth till it wore off).

* Aquaman tricking an insane Hercules into trying to drown him. When hegets dunked under the water, his injuries immediately heal, and Arthur's smarmy [[http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11112/111124701/3779946-aquaman+%2330+-+page+14.jpg smirk]] says it all. He then proceeds to lunch Hercules ''across'' the island and into the ocean, then beat him into unconsciousness. Freaking Hercules!

* In {{JLA-Avengers}}, Aquaman "beats" SheHulk by remembering that he just have to retrieve 1 of the 10 magical artifacts to win (and then does it), which is quite amaizing on its own. But the real moment of Awesome comes when Superman is being beaten by SheHulk, ComicBook/IronMan, IncredibleHercules, [[ProjectedMan Vision]] and [[ChromeChampion Wonder Man]], only to be saved by AQUAMAN! ([[HeartIsAnAwesomePower and some random gigant-sea-dragon]])
* There's also his JusticeLeague incarnation, who cut off his own hand to save his son, and his ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' incarnation, who is a walking CrowningMomentOfAwesome in a universe that already runs on RuleOfCool.
* During ''Brightest Day'', Aquaman is tasked with finding the new Aqualad, Jackson Hyde, before he is captured by Siren and Black Manta. Black Manta finds him first and is about to kill his adoptive father.

* In ''JusticeLeagueCrisisOnTwoEarths'', Aquaman is confronted by Captain Super (evil!Captain Marvel) and warned by Batman to "be careful. They're stronger than you are." His response, in classic, LargeHam, 60s fashion? "That remains to be seen!" He then ''bitchslaps'' Captain Super across the Watchtower and through a parked jet.

* Near the end of PAD's run, Triton has killed Poseidon and is kicking the crap out of Aquaman and friends. Aquaman lets Triton kill him, so he can get to the afterlife. Once there, he decks Charon, rallies the souls who didn't have boatfare, jacks Charon's boat, runs Charon over with his own boat, storms the literal Gates of Hell, cuts off one of Cerberus' heads, marches right up to Pluto and demands Poseidon back, ultimately convincing Hades with a very solid Batman Gambit. On his way out, Cerberus is back, and Aquaman has just one word for the titanic guardian of the underworld: [[spoiler: "Stay."]]

* One of the absolute best, though, is one in which he isn't even present: at the end of {{Patton Oswalt}}'s ''Justice League: Welcome to the Working Week'', the BigBad, despite having just been beaten, is gloating that it nevertheless took the entire Justice League to do so.

** In the same issue, Aquaman is just trying to get some fish and chips (yes, really), only to be harassed by a blogger. From the blogger, we learn that Aquaman is constantly thought of as the Super Friends version in-universe, and therefore largely thought of as a joke. The blogger questions Aquaman's ability to speak with fish (they aren't smart enough to speak, he just telepathically "pushes" them), what he does for money (treasure he finds at the bottom of the sea), and, best of all, how it feels to be "nobody's favorite superhero", to which Aquaman just activates his trident in response.

* In the first issue of Aquaman since the relaunch, writer Geoff Johns ''destroys'' the Aquaman jokes and misconceptions throughout. This includes a group of bank robbers laughing at him when he pops in to save the day and trying to run him over with a van, only to get flipped over with the trident, smashed onto the road and tossed into a police car windshield. When Aquaman leaves, the cops joke about how they're going to get made fun of for being "upstaged by Aquaman".
