Okay, so the guy on the throne is Nyarl-Amen, AKA the Ancient One AKA the Lost Wisdom AKA the Wonder Wisdom. Fifty thousand years ago he ruled the world from beneath the waves as head of the Nyarl-Amen Dynasty.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Nyarl-Amen has lived in the City of Nyarl-Amen for one hundred thousand years…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

His arsenal includes the Magic Eyes of Nyarl-Amen…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

And together with his minions the Fish Men of Nyarl-Amen he seeks to reconquer the world and presumably establish a Second Dynasty of Nyarl-Amen. Whatever you say about this civilization, “It has too many names,” can’t be one of them.<\/p>\n

The thing is, all this repetition has left me unsure just whether we’re dealing with an immortal fish-man sea-wizard attempting to reclaim his glory after 500 centuries or a city with an upstart ruler and bad imagination. I suppose whether it’s Nyarl-Amen the First or Nyarl-Amen the Six Hundred and Fifteenth doesn’t really matter since Dr Fate ends up blowing up every single Nyarl-Amen mentioned thusfar.<\/p>\n

These guys should 100% be BRUNG BACK<\/b> for one simple reason: the best thing about Aquaman stories is the weird collection of pulp novel civilizations that coat the DCU seafloor and these fish-head weirdos would enhance that immeasurably.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
