Synopsis:
Aquaman finds a raft adrift at sea with an old man aboard. Aquaman brings him to shore, where the man uses a magical powder to give Aquaman amazing powers as a dying gift.

Aquaman can only use each power once and it lasts for six hours. First Aquaman uses incredible stretching powers to take an injured sailor from sea to a hospital. Next he inflates himself into a balloon to raise a sinking ship. Then he becomes a sea wall to protect a coastal town from a tidal wave.

Finally Aquaman become a ten thousand ton juggernaut capable of supporting a collapsing bridge. This final transformation limits his movements preventing him from returning to the ocean. He is dangerously close to reaching his one hour time limit without water, when he decides to move a mountain to divert a waterfall. The water revives him until the transformation wears off.
