Lagoon Boy (New Earth)

Lagoon Boy appeared in Atlantis when the King decreed that outsider sea people be allowed into Atlantis despite the protests of many elitist Atlanteans. This is due to an attempt by Aquaman to make Atlantis more open to citizens living outside the city, by granting them citizenship. Lagoon Boy comes to the citizenship ceremony on the day of King Orin and Queen Mera's marriage. While there he befriends Blubber, a humanoid whale with a genius IQ and his assistant, Sheeva the Mermaid.

Blubber creates a device which allows Atlanteans to view television from the surface world, and the trio become entranced with the surface world and head up to there in order to explore and compare it to the television broadcasts they had seen. They have fun running through New York City but their appearance creates a huge disturbance and the Coast Guard is quickly called in and shoots Blubber. Aquaman rescues the Landlubbers from persecution and sends them back to Atlantis.
