Aquaman and his fellow underwater protectors - Mera and Garth - battled a variety of threats both above and below the waves. If talking to aquatic creatures did not work, the Aqua-Family had a supply of Hostess treats with which to save the day.

Slud-Jak

With the beaches of Earth being covered in grime - and costing businessmen revenue - Aquaman investigates the source of the pollution. The tentacled Slud-Jak is revealed to be launching a counter-attack against land pollution; Aquaman punches him out, then gets both sides to negotiate over Hostess Twinkies.

Colonel Kelp

Called out to stop a rocketship from damaging the undersea kelp farms, Aquaman and Mera question the ship's occupants. It turns out that Colonel Kelp and his crew were only attempting to introduce the Atlanteans to the great taste of Hostess Twinkies.

"Pirates' Gold" Divers

Rocking the seabed with high explosives, a group of treasure hunters crossed Aquaman's path while hunting for buried gold. Refusing to stop until they uncovered their bounty, Aquaman and Garth plant a chest full of Hostess Twinkies by the trio - which proves to be golden enough for all.

Manta Men

On a routine patrol, Mera and Garth find a school of sharks being driven toward the beaches; the true culprits are the Manta Men, whose sonic waves are being utilized by Black Manta to terrorize the surface. After dispersing the stun bursts, Mera offers the Manta Men Hostess Fruit Pies, turning them away from Black Manta's schemes.

Iceberg Head

A cold creature with the power to freeze water, Iceberg Head sought to encompass the world with his frozen demeanor. Warmed by the offering of Hostess Twinkies by Garth, the icy creature was able to be contained.
