Hello, and welcome once again to the Blog Of Hell’s Kitchen. This week, we have a Character Of The Month article about Ocean Master, the true king of Atlantis, and one of Aquaman’s biggest arch-nemesis, second only to Black Manta. Ocean Master has yet to appear in live-action and will be played by Patrick Wilson in the upcoming Aquaman solo film, which is set to debut to U.S. movie-goers on December 21st. As per usual, this article will only go over the featured character’s history from the comics, and not what they’ve done in other film and television projects. So, without further ado, let’s get to it.
Orm Curry is Arthur Curry’s full human brother, the son of Arthur’s father Tom, and a woman named Mary O’Sullivan. Orm was always jealous of Arthur because he had powers, and Orm didn’t. Later down the line, he became a petty criminal. During a crime, he was knocked unconscious, and suffered from a bout of amnesia. This caused Orm to forget all about his previous life, including his familial relationship to Aquaman.
Years after his accident, Orm resurfaced under the assumed named of Orm Marius and the moniker of Ocean Master. He was now a sort of high-tech sea pirate. He initially started out attacking ships and robbing them of their shipments. He quickly turned to create natural disasters like tsunamis and hurricanes with his technology and quickly came into conflict with Aquaman and Aqualad because of it. At one point, he did end up capturing Aquaman and Aqualad, but they both escaped. During the escape, Aquaman knocked off Orm’s mask, revealing to Arthur that he was fighting his half-brother, even though Orm had no idea of their relationship because of the amnesia. Aquaman then refused to fight his brother but did end up stifling Orm’s plans, and brought him to justice.
Alright, guys, thank you so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed. If you want to see more of Ocean Master, go check out Aquaman, which will be available to U.S. movie-goers on December 21st. There will be no Featured News article for November 2018, because anything I would go over in that article has been gone over in my various State of The Comic Book Movie Union articles, but come back on Friday for my State Of The Sony Marvel Universe article. Once again, thank you for reading, and remember, have a nerdy day.
