The Fisherman snares Aquaman in a pressurised net. Aquaman’s body chemistry cannot quickly adjust to the change in pressure, and he falls unconscious. When he comes to, he finds the Fisherman has secured him to the solar panels of his father’s abandoned lighthouse. Confident he has at last defeated him, the Fisherman leaves Aquaman to his fate. As the sun’s rays dehydrate Aquaman, he reflects on his childhood on this tiny island with his father, Tom Curry, and his Atlantean mother, Atlanna. The memories bolster Aquaman’s confidence, and he eventually breaks free. He dives into the sea and begins his search for the Fisherman.
