Is Seaguy really that much like Aquaman? Beyond a general aquatic theme, they're not that similar at all, and the suggestion in the article might therefore be a bit misleading. As Cameron Stewart himself says "The only similarity between the two characters is the synonymy of their names. Aquaman is king of Atlantis, can breathe underwater and has all aquatic life at his telepathic command. Seaguy isn't so lucky - he's just a man in a scuba suit."

I'm not sure about the reference to Seaguy being a rejection of Silver Age comics either ("Morrison has expressed on various occasions that Seaguy represents a deliberate effort to move away from conventions of the "silver age" of comics, "I had the idea to develop Seaguy into a weapon I could use to fight back against the trendy and unconvincing 'bad-ass' cynicism of current comics, most of which are produced by the most un-'bad-ass' men you can possibly imagine"."). The Silver Age is not the era of darkness and cynicism the article's author seems to think it is; he or she is perhaps thinking of the 80's and 90's, as I'm sure Morrison meant. Also, the reference is unsourced. Kelvingreen 00:48, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
