Lord Orm was Aquaman's villainous and treacherous half-brother.

[edit] History

Orm hired Deadshot to murder his half-brother, and then took over the throne as regent of Atlantis. He planned to lead a war against the surface-dwellers. Orm used his nephew as bargaining chip to ensure Mera's cooperation, and then took him to a cliff near a volcano, where he strapped him next to Aquaman. Orm gloated about killing both, blaming it on the surface-dwellers, and thus insuring his rightful inheritance to the throne. He departed, leaving Aquaman and his infant baby plummeting toward their death.

Orm's death

Afterwards, he used the plutonium from a U.S. nuclear submarine to arm nuclear meltdown device to melt the polar cap, and submerge the entire planet. When Aquaman tried to disarm it, Orm confronted him, and had the upper hand thanks to the Trident. However, amidst their fight, the ice bridge caved in and Orm grabbed on to its edge. He begged his brother for help, but Aquaman didn't oblige and Orm fell down the abyss to his death.

[edit] Background information
