Synopsis:
Using time-travel pods created by his court sorcerer, the Olympian god Poseidon travels to the present and demands that Mera marry him. Mera refuses and Aquaman fights him, but Poseidon threatens Mera's realm, so she submits.
Aquaman follows Poseidon and Mera back through time and requests the assistance of Zeus. The king of the gods sets up a contest in which Aquaman triumphs over his rival. Angered at his defeat Poseidon kidnaps Mera and returns to the present. Aquaman follows and rescues him, when his magic trident breaks. Finally, Poseidon reforms and returns to his own time, leaving Aquaman and Mera in peace.
