Why does everyone think Aquaman is phony?

Question

He's one of the best superheroes ever. Has any of the Aquaman haters even read any of his comics? If you think Aquaman sucks, you should do your research.

Answer 1

Well I'm no to big on him, but when I first think of Aquaman I think of the justice friends, where he looks like a tool, and talks to big purple sea horses.

,but then I remember hes actually a bad *** missing one hand with a sweet hook, and big beard.  

Answer 2

I don't think he sucks, but I think Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner, is better
