Although he primarily remained within the Aquacave and Atlantis, he also participated in adventures with his ocean dwelling parents. Aquaman's nemesis Black Manta murdered Aquababy by suffocation. The death of the child ultimately resulted in the separation of Aquaman and his wife.

Trivia

• Aquababy made an appearance on the two-part Justice League episode, "The Enemy Below". In Part II, Orm, the evil brother to Aquaman, tied Aquababy to a rock and left him to die, thereby securing his position as heir to the throne of Atlantis. To save his son, Aquaman was forced to sever his own left hand to free himself from captivity. Aquababy was never referenced by name in the episode.
