Ocean Master
Ocean Master is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by Bob Haney and Nick Cardy and debuted in Aquaman #29 (September 1966). One of Aquaman's most recognized adversaries who constantly conspires to usurp his position as the ruling monarch of Atlantis, the character has been subjected to numerous revisions over the years; The original version of the character was Orm Curry Marius, Aquaman's wayward, human half-brother envious of his sibling's superhuman powers and status as a hero. Becoming an international marine criminal, he takes the name Orm Marius and Ocean Master. Following Crisis on Infinite Earths, the character is depicted as half homo magi and of Inuit origin, his brotherhood with Aquaman connected through Atlan, their shared father.
He is revised once more after the New 52 as a royal Atlantean and son of Queen Atlanna the King Orvax Marius, half-brother of Tula, and a descendant of Atlan and Arion. While he exhibits xenophobic views towards human and a desire to punish humans for their role in marine pollution, he is inherently less malicious the character's motivations are more complex in nature, marking him both a supervillain and anti-hero. While a benevolent ruler at a young age following the apparent death of Orvax and Atlanna, he is ousted and exiled by Aquaman due to believing him a tyrant and Orm's attack on the United States. Embittered, he typically serves a antagonistic force against Aquaman and his allies as he seeks to restore his status as king although he also is a reluctant ally at times.
Ocean Master has been adapted from the comics into various forms of media.The character appeared in the DC Extended Universe films Aquaman (2018) and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023), portrayed by Patrick Wilson. Richard Green, Wallace Langham, Dana Snyder, and Sam Witwer have provided the character's voice in animation.
Ocean Master first appeared in Aquaman #29 (September 1966), created by Bob Haney and Nick Cardy during the Silver Age of Comics Books. A seemingly one-off story, the issue establishes the brotherly relationship between the characters. Originally in the story, the character was first established as a human pirate similar to Black Manta whose relation to Aquaman was shared.
The character would later make a major reappearance in the second Aquaman series, written by Neil Ponzer in 1987, following the reboot of the DC Universe through Crisis on Infinite Earths. The new story changes the nature of the character's powers and ties them to a new history and world established by the previous Arion, Lord of Atlantis title. The limited series also established his original origin in line with the Silver Age's version as being the wayward and ignored son of Tom Curry and Mary O'Sullivan.
Later in 1996, the character's background and origins were altered in Peter David's Aquaman: Time and Tide. This version depicts him as an indigenous Iñupiat man from Alaska who is Aquaman's half-brother through their shared father, Atlan.
In 2011, DC Comics would relaunch all of its monthly titles and reboot the DC Universe continuity. Among the changes included Orm's new origin, cast as a full-blooded Atlantean, whose shared parentage with Aquaman is through Atlanna, and having similar physical powers to Aquaman and abilities derived from artifacts. The character's first major appearance after the reboot is in the Throne of Atlantis storyline, which depicted the beginning of the antagonistic relationship between Ocean Master and Aquaman. Later stories would define Ocean Master and Aquaman's heritage further: the 2013 Death of a King storyline indirectly establishes Atlan (previously the father of Ocean Master) as their ancestral relative, and the 2019 Drowned Earth storyline establishing Arion as their ancient ancestor.
Orm Curry was Aquaman's full-human half-brother, the son of Tom Curry (Aquaman's father) and a woman named Mary O'Sullivan. He grew up under the shadow of his heroic half-brother and resented the fact that he had none of Aquaman's powers. He was already a petty criminal when he was stricken with amnesia, forgot his former life, and disappearing.[volume & issue needed]
