Late Night Fun – Did They Just Make Neal Pozner's Aquaman Suit A Reality?

In 1986 Neal Pozner wrote a new Aquaman mini-series and came up with a new design for costume, basically a undersea camouflage. It was a dramatic shift from the classic orange and green everyone was used to. Where it made great tactical sense it wasn't really a hit with the fans.
