The new Aqualad was taught by his adoptive parents all his life to stay away from water, because if he went near it, his people (evil Atlanteans from another dimension) would be able to find him.

But, really, when it comes to race issues, I don't find a lot that ISN'T preachy, so it isn't really your fault. Good comic, guys.

As to the joke, I could think of about thirty times when Deadpool has made use of that stereotype.

When Marissa posed that last question, a bunch of white-guy stereotypes popped into my head. I honestly never thought about the meta-stereotype, but it's so true, comics love doing that.

Real deep stuff by Steve Englehart. I'm surprised this story is still remembered.
