Aqualad is a DC Comics superhero alias used by several characters. The most well-known is Kaldur'ahm (Jackson Hyde), a young Atlantean with the ability to control water, breathe underwater, and possess enhanced strength and durability. He often wields Water Bearers, devices that can create solid constructs of water.

Kaldur'ahm debuted in the animated series Young Justice before being introduced into the mainstream DC Comics continuity. In both iterations, he initially serves as Aquaman's protege, operating under the Aqualad codename. He possesses a complex origin, often involving Black Manta as his father, adding a layer of conflict and intrigue to his character.

He has been a member of various superhero teams, most notably the Teen Titans and Young Justice, often taking on leadership roles. Aqualad's powers and strategic mind make him a valuable asset in any team, and his struggle to reconcile his heritage and forge his own path make him a compelling character.
