** Peter David had planned to have a longer run on ''ComicBook/Aquaman1994'' than he did. Potential ideas included Dolphin and Arthur marrying, Arthur and Mera remarrying and ruling over the other dimension, Poseidon adopting Arthur as a son, expanding on Arthur's connection with The Clear to make him an elemental like Swamp Thing, having him dead for more than one issue, having a Literature/DantesInferno-style journey down to the Devil's Deep, and bringing back a time-displaced 'classic' Aquaman.

** A follow-up miniseries to ''ComicBook/Aquaman1986'' was planned for 1987, but was cancelled due to creative differences and not meeting deadlines. ''Back Issue #46'' revealed the plot would have followed Aquaman interacting more with his supporting cast, including reconnecting with Mera and having a second child. Aqualad would have had a new girlfriend named Tawna and Vulko had a wife named Makaira, who ruled in his stead after his injury from the first series. Villains would have been the Sunderland Corporation from ''Swamp Thing'', who used Atlantis as their dumping ground, and an Atlantean religious extremist named Claudius who sought to resurrect Poseidon to punish both the interlopers and strayed Atlanteans.

* ScienceMarchesOn: Many of the Golden and Silver Age Aquaman adventures are scientifically inaccurate, such as a hospital he made to treat an octopus' broken bone (octopuses have no bones) or quarantining sea lions for fish scurvy (scurvy is non-infectious and sea lions aren't fish). There was also the prevalent use of coral as underwater rock formations, complete with a quarry to mine them, when later research proved that coral are animals.
