A lot of people have given Aquaman a shot, and here Peter David has a crack at it himself. No-one seems to be able to do a lot with it, however.
Aquaman changes to be more standoffish, snootier, more regal. e.g. he becomes a bit more like Namor, the Sub-Mariner, even if not quite as much a wanker as that.

Aquaman has been one of DC's most difficult characters for years. From the 1940s to the 1960s, he was an adequate counterpart to Marvel's resident water-based hero, the Sub-Mariner: while Prince Namor was intent on destroying surface dwellers, Aquaman sought to bring peace between the two races. However, during the turbulent 1960s, Aquaman's cleancut appearance and rigid morality made him seem more and more of a second string hero, good for rounding out the Justice League of America's roster, ...
