Wouldn’t he go insane being that close to Cthulhu and looking at it?

You're assuming that a man who spends all day talking with fish is sane in the first place.
Just go to a fish breeder convention. Find the sanity there.
Do they fuck the fish or do they get fucked by the fish?
Sometimes one, sometimes the other, sometimes both.
Sometimes multiple, but cephalopods are getting harder to book.
The pages get soggy.
you have to be a knight to go to fish breeder conventions? damn i knew i was small time but this... i may have to go have a long shit about it.
He did. You are seeing the delusion.
You only go insane becsuse you can't comprehend an alien. I don't think anyone in modern times would be affected unless they were as hyper-racist as Lovecraft was.
You don’t think telepathically mind-fucking Cthulhu would drive fish boy insane?
It might drive Cthulhu insane. We don't know what Aquaman's mind is like. 🤷♂️
I'm more surprised we don't. Has a psychic never mind-dived Aquaman? Martian Manhunter hasn't Head-Handed him? That's how J'onn says hello!
All the other super heroes think of Aquaman like most real people and havent had much interest in learning more about him. Well, except Batman. Who still can't read his mind, but can psycho analyze him well enough to devise a plan to stop him if he goes evil.
According to Wikipedia, this ability is
Telepathic control of all aquatic life
Does this actually count? What constitutes a creature as "aquatic"? When I swim at the beach, am I considered "aquatic life" until I leave the water again?
It depends if you're a hydrohomie or not.
All of 'em. Even microbial life. IIRC, he once killed a dude by telling seamonkies or something to explode a MFer.
actually, since all life descended from the ocean, Aquaman does have some slight mental influence on humans.
Has this line of thinking ever been explored in the comics or anything? This all seems like something that I would expect the creators to have addressed, but I just don't know anything about this character.
My immediate thought would be anything that requires being in water for some length of time to live.
I'm not sure where amphibians would fall though.
No one knows what to do with amphibians, in a way it is similar to dealing with bisexuals
Hey there Cthulhu
What's it like in R'lyeh City
To be fair, i think if you asked Cthulu nicely, he would end the world and drive your enemies to madness for you.
Yea, you have stupid powers. Cthulu has cool powers
Pff, this dude doesn't know the Power of Friendship is the strongest there is
Or, in this case, possibly controlling fish brains
There was a qfig made of this.
