Major Story Arcs

Aquaman

The Shell-Back Man from the Lakes of Saturn was captured by Xen to be added to the Aquarium Owner's collection of aquatic creatures. Xen travelled to Earth with the aim of collecting Aquaman, Mera and Aqualad as well and succeeded until the trio escaped along with Xen's other four captives. Shell-Back Man's shell proved extremely useful because it acted as a shield that blocked Xen's attack upon the group. The group then managed to get hold of Xen's duplication gun and make an obedient Xen army. The Xen army were ordered to return all the captives to their homes and Shell-Back Man was returned to the Lakes of Saturn.
