History
A professional criminal all his adult life Black Manta has spent years plundering the ocean floor of its valuable contents. In this time, he has assembled a considerable amount of henchmen and bio-engineered mutants he calls Manta men.
Little is known about the man beneath the costume, save that, like most of his henchmen, he is black. "Not that racism is my motive, says Black Manta, but since blacks have been oppressed for so long on the surface, they fight well for the chance to be masters below.
Black Manta has attempted several times to create his own undersea kingdom but has been thwarted by Aquaman. In the course of his Battles with Aquaman he is directly responsible for the death of Aquaman's son Arthur Curry Jr. thus becoming one of the Sea kin's greatest foe.
