Aquaman was born with no name, and abandoned upon the rocks of Mercy Reef when he was but an infant. Growing up alone, he learned to communicate telepathically with other sea life and used their methods to hunt for food.
As a young man, he came upon a fisherman named Arthur Curry who lived in a lighthouse off the coast of Maine. After a startling encounter with one another, Arthur brought the boy into his home where he taught him to read and speak. He knew that the boy was not a normal human and suspected that he belonged to a race of merman. As the boy grew to adulthood, Arthur Curry grew old and sick. Those from the boy's native land of Atlantis found where he had been living and took Arthur Curry away in the dead of night, presumably to his doom. He left behind a journal, chronicling his life. The boy took his foster father's name as his own and became Arthur Curry.
Now a man, Arthur Curry explored the world, eventually finding his way back to Atlantis. The Atlanteans captured him and placed him into solitary confinement for three years at the Aquarium Prison. There he met an old scientist named Vulko and had a chance encounter with his aging mother Atlanna. Although he never met her, Arthur elected to remain in Aquarium just to be close her. When news of her passing reached his ears, he no longer felt the need to stay behind. He marshalled his super-strength and broke free of Aquarium, setting other inmates free as well.
Arthur decided to continue to wear his prison uniform as a reminder of where he had come from. He also made use of the cruel nickname that had been given to him in prison - Aquaman.
As Aquaman, Arthur Curry became a champion both above and below the sea. He became a founding member of the Justice League of America and claimed his birthright as the king of all Atlantis. Aquaman later took on a pupil in Aqualad, married a woman from an alien dimension named Mera and gave birth to a son named Arthur Curry III.
