There is a bit of objection to the union on both sides, and an assassin manages to kill Queen Hippolyta as the ceremony starts.

As a counter, Aquaman's origin in the Flashpoint universe is told. It diverges from his Silver Age origin when a pregnant Atlanna is dragged back to Atlantis by her father's troops. Aquaman is abandoned on Mercy Reef after his mother dies in childbirth and is raised by his father thanks to the sea life returning him to his father's home. At age thirteen, the Atlanteans return, killing Tom Curry and taking Arthur back to Atlantis to be king after his grandfather's death. Because Tom tried to protect him from the sea, denying him his heritage, and because he lost his father earlier, Arthur in this universe becomes a hard and brutal man. | |||
