'Young Justice: Outsiders': With the mid-season finale having already arrived, why is Kaldur'ahm aka Aqualad missing in action?
Aqualad may be one of DC's most creative legacy heroes and those, like me, who grew up watching the '60s explosion of comics and cartoon characters, would remember a completely different Aqualad than the one we see today in 'Young Justice' and its subsequent follow-ups.
The original Aqualad was a bit cringey for my taste, and he was very similar to the first Robin as well, both being sidekicks and having no real personality of their own. It's only when we enter the '90s and the early 2000's that we finally see sidekicks given a little more character development than just being their heroes lapdogs. The original Aqualad grew up and took on the name Tempest, and the original Robin grew up and became Nightwing, thank goodness for creative writers taking charge!
