Aquaman The Becoming Teases a Love Interest in Romantic New Cover

DC’s new Aquaman, Jackson Hyde may finally have a new love interest in the upcoming Aquaman: The Becoming #5. The former Aqualad hasn’t had a love interest since his first introduction in 2016’s DC Rebirth, but that’s soon to change after a long-awaited 4 years.

In Aquaman: The Becoming #1 by Brandon Thomas and Diego Olortegui, Jackson takes on the role of Aquaman, and with the help from the former Aquaman Arthur Curry, learns how to handle the responsibilities that come with the name. This is also the first time any relationship aspect has ever been brought up towards the character since his first relationship in 2016. When the King of Atlantis, Arthur Curry promises to help find Jackson a “new cute boy” the young hero quickly dismisses the topic. However, later on in the dinner with his mother Jackson has trouble flirting with the new waiter Davi. Unfortunately, the interaction was short-lived resulting in Jackson’s mother interrogating the innocent waiter on his intentions with her son.

As half-human half- Atlantean, Jackson still faces the hovering fact that he’s the son of villain Black Manta since his first introduction in Brightest Day #10 (2010). Originally based after the Young Justice character Kaldur’ahm, inspired by Calvin Durham from Adventure Comics #452 (1977), Jackson’s character was reestablished in DC Rebirth’s Teen Titans #6 where he comes out as gay and learns to navigate his new Atlantean powers. His then-boyfriend Kenny quickly broke things off with Jackson after revealing his powers and wanting to join the Teen Titan. Now that Jackson has outgrown his former role of Aqualad all is about to change for the hero’s love life in the new variant cover of Aquaman: The Becoming #5 drawn by Khary Randolph, where a mysterious love interest might soon accept Jackson for all of who he is.

The variant cover teases a passionate interaction between Jackson and his mysterious new love interest behind a pink sunset background with abandoned ships extremely metaphoric to Disney’s The Little Mermaid. Jackson is wearing his Aquaman suit while bearing a smoldering look to his love interest who is also looking passionately into Jackson’s eyes. The love interest in question has on what seems to be Atlantean armor hinting that the two are both Atlantean. The pairing has sparks shown in this enticing variant cover teasing at a possible love connection between the two.

DC Future State: Aquaman miniseries earlier revealed Jackson as the new Aquaman and the mentor to Arthur and Mera’s daughter Andy. Aquaman: The Becoming has shown Jackson’s right of passage as a hero from Teen Titans member to training under Arthur. Now that he’s established himself as Aquaman, a new relationship is most certainly in order for the hero which fans can find out in Aquaman: The Becoming #5 releasing January 18th, 2022.
