Orm
- General Brak: I say the surface dwellers are barbarians. They sail their weapons across our seas and pollute our oceans with their garbage. There's only one way to ensure Atlantis' safety, and my troops are prepared to take action.
- Aquaman: What sort of action?
- General Brak: We have the technology to wipe them off the face of the earth. Just give the order.
- Aquaman: General Brak, I decide policy here, not you.
- General Brak: But how much longer must we endure these affronts? Surely you realize that now is the perfect time...
- Orm: Hold your tongue, Brak. Your king has spoken.
- Snapper Carr: And following the explosion, members of the Justice League rushed Aquaman to Metropolis Medical Center. There are still no official reports on his condition, but his injuries appear to be critical, possibly fatal.
- Orm: [watching in Atlantis] We cannot allow this treacherous attack to go unpunished.
- General Brak: With all due respect, Lord Orm, you're in no position to give that order. The king...
- Orm: The king may be dead, and the prince is still an infant.
- General Brak: But even so, the law of succession must be respected.
- Orm: The prince will take control when he comes of age. But in the meantime, this outrage must be avenged.
- Mera: Orm, did you hear?
- Orm: Oh, my poor Mera, all of Atlantis mourns your loss.
- Mera: You speak as if he'll never come back.
- Orm: I pray he will. But who knows what the surface dwellers may do to him?
- Orm: My friends, now is the time for action. Now is the time for mighty Atlantis to rise up and strike terror into the hearts of its enemies. Are you with me?
- [cheering]
- Aquaman: [bursting in] Orm! What treason is this?
- Orm: No treason, brother. I thought you were...
- Aquaman: Dead? That's no reason to plunge Atlantis into a foolhardy war. I left specific orders.
- Orm: I'm only doing what you never had the courage to do.
- Aquaman: Enough! I'll hear no more. Arrest the traitor.
- Orm: You heard him.
- Aquaman: [the guards all turn their spears on him] What?
- Orm: You are the traitor. You abandoned your people, sold them out to the surface dwellers. Look around you, brother. I'm in charge now.
