Meet The Other League Members for DC Comics’ Aquaman

DC Comics has teased the existence of a team of adventurers and explorers with which Aquaman ran with before the formation of the Justice League.

Now DC begins this week with new teaser images and additional details for the upcoming story arc for Geoff Johns and Ivan ReisAquaman book.

1. Kahina the Seer

“Originally from Tehran, the Seer was once the conscience of the Others. Named after her prophetic vision, the Seer often uses in in conjunction with her skills with a sword. The Seer has been inactive for the last few years, her whereabouts and activities unknown to Aquaman. Until now.”

Reis and Prado’s design of Kahina the Seer features a woman in a flowing robe grasping a deadly-looking sword. No other details were revealed about The Others, but readers will discover more about the team when “The Others” begins on March 28 with “Aquaman” #7.

2. Prisoner-of-War

Here’s what Johns had to say about the character:

“When Ivan, Joe and I spoke about Prisoner-Of-War with our editor Pat McCallum we went back and forth quite a bit,” Johns said via The Source. “We wanted this soldier, this man who was held captive for years and the only survivor of his squad, to be and feel like a faceless victim of war. One who was now fighting for his freedom and identity. But his identity is clouded by the mysterious powers he gained after his fellow soldiers were killed. The shackles he wears are golden like Aquaman’s trident, but a source of another power. When we meet Prisoner-Of-War he is a far cry from the man he once was…or will be.”

The Prisoner-Of-War design by Reis and Prado features a faceless man with scars on his arms and a collection of dog tags around his neck. His uniform is spartan with knee pads, a utility belt and combat boots. Johns revealed no further details about The Others, but readers will discover more about the team when “The Others” begins on March 28 with “Aquaman” #7.
