I have always been impressed with the sheer obsession of Black Manta. He couldn't care less about fighting any other hero on Earth than Aquaman. Why do you say? He is just a dick who really, really, really, hates Aquaman. He is the only other person that is worthy of his hate. Manta is jealous of everything that the King of Atlantis has and lives to punish him for being better than Black Mantis. He is also one of the few villains of color in any medium. He was the one who cut off Aquaman's hand and has been in every incarnation that Aquaman has made in comics or animation. How can you not love the simple design of his costume which will tolerate virtually NO alteration over the years. You can't change a thing about it because it's perfect. He is a menacing ocean presence. A pure predator.
"No agreement exists that makes a slave of Black Manta!"

A Great post on a Truly great Villain good Sir Kal....!!!!
on the Legion of Doom he was voiced by Ted Cassidy ("Lurch")....
He considers his greatest achievement in his criminal career to have been the one to kill Aquaman's son.... He is indeed "Ruthless" ... and we really love the design of his Ship.... Stacey
He truly is one of Aquaman's greatest foes, in fact, THE greatest, I think. He is responsible for Arthur's son's death. However, he was only responsible for the second time Aquaman lost his hand, after he was resurrected in Brightest Day. The first time he lost his hand it was due to the villain Charybdis.
I thought that his Brother "Ocean-Master" was the one who took his Hand....
In the Justice League cartoon it was Ocean Master who forced him to cut off his own hand to save his son.
We have not seen this cartoon ... thanks for the info...
