In the comics, Ocean Master, aka Orm, grew up jealous of Aquaman’s powers while he he had none. Eventually Orm used tech to give himself power and became the villain Ocean Master.

Aquaman has an October 5, 2018 release directed by James Wan starring Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Amber Heard as Mera, and Willem Dafoe as Nuidis Vulko.
