Seeking to be of help to other teens in trouble, Garth became one of the founding members of the Teen Titans. As Aqualad, Garth was given to expressions such as "Great Guppies!", "Suffering Sardines," "Leapin' Lionfish!", and "Suffering Snails!" Together Garth and Aquaman shared many adventures. Once Aquaman married his lady love, Mera, and had his own son, adventuring with Aqualad became less important to him, leaving Garth feeling unsure of his role in his mentor's life.

The founding members of theTeen Titans: Wonder Girl, Robin,Kid Flash, and Garth as Aqualad. Garth developed an intense fear of schools of fish, however, which haunted him into his teens. It has been speculated that with the assistance of Aquaman's father, the Atlantean sorcerer Atlan, the young Garth not only survived but thrived, learning language and survival rituals to keep the young boy from going feral as he scavenged his way through the undersea. The Atlanteans claimed Garth had been born genetically inferior and sentenced him to death on a seabed leagues away from Atlantis. In Poseidonis, one of the domed cities of Atlantis, Queen Berra gave birth to her baby boy, Garth, who was born with purple eyes. The Idyllists also claimed that Thar had gone insane to hide their complex, fearful plan.

So word was sent out that all babies born with purple eyes, the Idyllist mark of power, should be banished and killed, lest they try to perform the access ritual and accidentally free Slizzath and his undead army. Unfortunately, this spell was linked to a magical ritual which would give his offspring access to incredible mystical powers and accessing that ritual would give Slizzath the energy required to break free of his prison.
Before Thar was killed, however, he was able to cast a magical spell that trapped Slizzath in an other-dimensional prison. The Idyllist radicals killed him and banished his pregnant wife Berra back to Atlantis. King Thar knew of this and assembled an armory of robots and weapons to stop his demented brother.
He planned to invade the Hidden Valley and transform it into a necropolis he would rule. His body transformed into a disgusting half-human form, Zath, renamed Slizzath, returned to Shayeris twenty years later with an army of undead.
Zath practiced dark sorcery andnecromancy and was eventually banished from the Hidden Valley. Thar had inherited the throne and access to ancient magical energies that his brother Zath, a powerful magician in his own right, believed to be rightfully his. The Idyllists were also practitioners of magic and kept an extensive library of mystical texts and scrolls.Īpproximately four decades ago, King Thar and his wife Queen Berra became the reigning monarchs of Shayeris, the capital of The Hidden Valley of colonies. There, nestled in the capital city of Shayeris (formerly Crastinus), the pacifist Idyllists became rabid builders and collectors, architects and artisans, and eschewed physical violence at all costs. Tempest is the prince and heir to the throne of the Idyllists, a colony of Atlanteans who settled in the Hidden Valley 4,000 years ago. He is an amphibious humanoid who was left to die because of ancient Atlantean superstition and prophecy. Garth's origin is similar to that of his mentor. Aqualad was a founding member of the Teen Titans.
Tempest was initially known as Aqualad,Aquaman's teenage partner, and like many other such "kid sidekicks" popular in the Silver Age, his powers originally varied very little from his mentor.
