synopsis
Our old "friend" the Black Manta is back for more sinister skullduggery and world-weary wisecracks (though not necessarily in that order). This time, the cowled supervillain wants to steal Aquaman's latest invention, a "growth ray" that is capable of enlarging the smaller forms of sea life. After rescuing Aqualad from the Black Manta's clutches, Aquaman must focus his attention on a veritable army of gigantic plankton, created by the villain for the express purpose of destroying Atlantis!
