Jackson Hyde was late named 'Aquaman' by the original Aquaman (President Arthu Curry) in Aquaman: The Becoming #1, but in November 16's Aquaman: The Decorous #3 he learns something shocking about his past - something that, in a strange way of life, gives him some other thing in common with his predecessor.

Spoilers for Aquaman: The Becoming #3

The enigma antagonist named Deluge WHO debuted in Aquaman: The Becoming #1 is still on the new Aquaman's tail in Aquaman: The Comely #3, succeeding him crosswise several superhero safe houses and into Titans Tower West, the obsolete and dilapidated former home of the Teen Titans on the San Francisco waterfront.

Deluge is eventually revealed to live Jackson Hyde's previously-unknown sister. The scoundrel, whose real name is Delilah, shares the same mother every bit Jackson - the Xebellian rebel Lucia. During the cut, Deluge continues to establish she's a formidable fighter - even besting the well-toilet-trained Jackson in combat.

And prior to the surprising reveal, Delilah/Alluvion makes it clear her animosity for Jackson's upbringing is personal.

"Don't tell me, Helen Maria Fiske Hunt Jackson--did you let to actually sacrifice something?" Siren chides him while they are fighting. "Put together that perfect life of yours at real risk?"

Femme fatale/Waterspout challenges Jackson to show some of the same tenacity as his father (the Black Manta), but IT's the mention of their mother, Lucia, that prompts a frenzied tone-beginning on Delilah by the unaware Jackson. Lucia eventually shows up to try on to break the sibling fight up.

"He rattling has no clue, does he...?" Deluge says. "Unlikely."

IT's only after recurrent urging by Femme fatale that Lucia finally reveals what's really leaving along..

"Her list is Delilah, Jackson... She's your sister..."

Deluge/Delilah has been chasing Jackson since her debut in Aquaman: The Becoming #1, even apparently framing him for the bombardment of Atlantis and qualification him a desirable man by the Atlantean guard.

Unless Lucia is lying about Delilah and Jackson being sisters, the development would create newborn parallels to Capital of Mississippi's wise man Arthur. The original Aquaman also has a stepbrother, Orm Marius/Sea Master, that is one of Chester Alan Arthur's arch-villains. It's not yet discovered who Delilah's Father is, but acknowledged how she refers to Jackson's founder Inglorious Manta, it doesn't appear it's him (or at least she doesn't think it's him).

Aquaman: The Becoming #4 (of 6) goes happening sale on Dec 28. A collection of all six Aquaman: The Becoming issues is set for May 24, 2022.

While you wait, make sure you've read all the best Aquaman stories of all time.
