Black Manta's hatred of Aquaman exceeded the normal super villain-hero rivalry. It became an all out blood feud. Manta kidnapped Aquaman's son, Arthur Jr., and murdered the child in cold blood. Eventually, Aquaman captured Black Manta and nearly executed the villain in revenge. However, the hero regained his composure and showed mercy. The story coincided with an era in which comics became grittier and more realistic. Despite this, the murder of a child seemed to step over the bounds and shocked readers.
