(Note: if you pronounce it closer to "AHK-wa-man", put your vote under "AWK-wa-man". I can't naturally distinguish between the sounds.)

I think that "ACK-wa-man" is a canadianism.

[storme]

Apparently also a britishism.

[cnoocy]

AHK-wa-man, actually.

[toonhead-npl.livejournal.com]

I've always said it more like AHK-wa-man.
So where does everybody stand on the Sub-MAHriner/Sub-MaREEner debate?

[tablesaw]

Yeah, I wasn't exactly sure how to express the pronunciation.

I say "AHK-wa-man", but in Boston this is not real surprising. ("I swaihtaGawd, I thought I saw this jiyint killah fish! It was wicked dahk, so I couldn't be real shoah, but I called Ahkwaman just ta be safe. I had no frickin' idear what he was gonna do with it!")

In case any of you haven't seen this site, hours of similar dialectical entertainment can be found here.

Though really, who would EVER need to call Aquaman?
"I'm superpowerful and can reverse the rotation of the earth!" "I'm superintelligent and rich enough to build zillions of gadgets!" "Uh... I can talk to fish."

If you're going to be teleported to a random point on the planet, and you get to take one superhero with you, there's a 75% chance that Aquaman's your man. Er, except that Superman could probably help you out pretty much anywhere. So, if he's busy, you'd want to call Aquaman. I guess.

Using his aquatic telepathy, Aquaman summons a tire, a syringe, and a barrel of slag!

Say you were stuck in "The World Without Shrimp," TM Kevin Wald. Aquaman would probably be your guy.

I summon fish...
