Lagoon Boy is a superhero published by DC Comics. He first appeared in ''Aquaman'' vol. 5 #50 (December 1998), and was created by Erik Larsen. His name and appearance are references to the title character from the classic horror feature film, ''The Creature from the Black Lagoon''. ==Fictional character biography== No writer has yet provided an origin story for Lagoon Boy. In his first appearance, he is allowed into Atlantis as part of an attempt by Aquaman to make Atlantis more open to those living outside the city by granting them citizenship. His presence is met with protests by many elitist Atlanteans. Lagoon Boy comes to the citizenship ceremony on the day of King Orin and Queen Mera's marriage. While there he befriends Blubber, a humanoid whale with a genius IQ, and his assistant, Sheeva the Mermaid. ''Aquaman'' #54 reveals that the three characters have begun calling themselves "The Land-Lovers" as they were underwater creatures who were fascinated with the world over water. Blubber creates a device which allows Atlanteans to view television from the surface world, and the trio head up to the surface world in order to explore and compare it to the television broadcasts they had seen. Their appearance creates a huge disturbance and the Coast Guard is quickly called. Aquaman rescues the Land-Lovers from persecution and sends them back to Atlantis. After Erik Larsen's run on ''Aquaman'' ended, the Land-Lovers did not reappear in the title. Lagoon Boy was used shortly before the end of Larsen's run by writer Chuck Dixon, who wrote the ''Young Justice Special'' #1 No Man's Land story. In the story, the male members of Young Justice (Superboy, Robin and Impulse), head for Gotham City and meet Lagoon Boy. They join together to stop Kobra. Lagoon Boy reappears in ''Young Justice: Sins of Youth'', where he is aged to adulthood. He helps Young Justice against Klarion the Witchboy and Black Manta, and he assists the JSA, JLA and the Titans in ending the wild mixture of science and magic which had been causing the transformations. Lagoon Boy later displays the ability to command, or at least enlist the aid of, humpback whales in order to cause a riptide on the shores of the rogue nation of Zandia, aiding Young Justice in the process.〔''Young Justice'' (vol. 1) #50 (December 2002)〕 Robin and Lagoon Boy team up to stop a sea monster from damaging ''Gotham Harbor'' and force its return to the sea.〔''Robin'' (vol. 4) #83–84 (December 2000 – January 2001)〕 Lagoon Boy was briefly shown in ''Infinite Crisis'' when The Spectre wreaks havoc on the people of Atlantis. He is shown fighting the Spectre alongside many Atlanteans and their allies. Lagoon Boy is one of the few survivors after Spectre squashes the city.〔''Infinite Crisis'' #4 (March 2006)〕 Over a year after Young Justice disbands, Lagoon Boy is recruited alongside several other obscure teenaged heroes as part of a Teen Titans spin-off team known as the Titans East. Unfortunately, he and the rest of the Titans are severely injured after being attacked by the children of Trigon on a routine training exercise.〔''Titans East Special'' (January 2008)〕 In a scene taking place just hours prior to the events of ''Blackest Night'', Lagoon Boy's former teammate Hawk II visits Titans Tower and angrily tells Cyborg that Lagoon Boy is still in a coma.〔''Titans'' (vol. 2) #2 (July 2008)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lagoon Boy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
