In For Real, Control Freak's challenge for him is stopping polluted water from flowing into the reservoir on the other side of town while fighting a mechanical shark. It is shown that Aqualad is against the notion of eating fish, stating "What were you thinking? I'm from the ocean! Those were probably friends of mine!" when presented with fish tacos by his teammates. He and Beast Boy went to disable the force field shielding the sonic cannon Blood was going to use to destroy Jump City, but they had to be rescued from a crushing wall first. He appeared again in Wavelength, where he tracked Brother Blood's new base underwater. Soon after, Robin gave Aqualad a communicator, and the episode ended with Beast Boy and Aqualad racing. The T-Ship blasted the cave, blocking the Trident clones and preventing them from escaping. Aqualad and Beast Boy managed to escape, and just when things seemed hopeless, the T-Ship arrived, fully repaired thanks to Tramm. They managed to find Trident's base and found many "eggs" on the ceiling of Trident. Because of Beast Boy's jealousy, their mission was somewhat hindered and they did not cooperate like a team until Aqualad said that he was not better than Beast Boy. While the Titans stayed at Aqualad's base, Beast Boy and Aqualad went to look for Trident. Starfire and Raven developed crushes on him soon after. Aqualad took them to his home, where he called upon his companion, Tramm, to help fix the ship. This hit Beast Boy's nerve because it was supposed to be his mission. When Trident blasted their T-Ship towards the point where the engines stopped working, Aqualad summoned two whales to save their ship. He was first seen in Deep Six, when the Titans went underwater to stop the villan Trident. He can communicate with fish using his telepathic powers, though these powers are susceptible to nullification from the human-affecting psychic ones of Brother Blood.
Aqualad is a marine telepath who once lived in the utopia of Atlantis.
