Powers and abilities

Lagoon Boy, also known as La'gaan, appears in Young Justice, voiced by Yuri Lowenthal.[10] This version is a student at the Conservatory of Sorcery and a member of the Team who displays a cocky, arrogant, and thrill-seeking personality. Additionally, he is the estranged friend of Kaldur'ahm and the boyfriend of Miss Martian who displays a romantic rivalry with her ex-boyfriend Superboy. Near the end of the second season, Miss Martian rekindles her relationship with Superboy and eventually breaks up with Lagoon Boy. As of the third season, Lagoon Boy has left the Team, returned to Atlantis, and joined the royal guard. In the fourth season, he is revealed to be bisexual, in a three-way polyamorous marriage, and raising a baby. Later in the season, he joins the Justice League as the third Aquaman, sharing the mantle alongside Kaldur'ahm and their mentor.
