The Atlanteans are an underwater species of humanoids that inhabit the kingdom of Atlantis. Roughly 30 millennia before the Black Zero Event, the Atlanteans joined with the Amazons and Humanity in fighting off an invasion of Earth by Steppenwolf and his massive Parademon army. Before being forced to depart, Steppenwolf left behind three Mother Boxes, and each of the three factions of the army that helped save Earth would be given one of them.
Invasion of Earth
Thousands of years ago, Atlanteans joined with the forces of the Amazons and Humans to fight off an invasion of Earth by Steppenwolf and his massive Parademon army. As their battle escalated, the Olympians descended to aid, along with an unidentified Green Lantern. An ancient Atlantean king led the forces of Atlantis from their massive ships onto shore, where the Amazons and armies of Mankind had been driving back the forces of Apokolips. Zeus and Artemis greatly crippled the invaders' forces, causing Steppenwolf to retreat, much to his dismay. As they departed, the three Mother Boxes were separated by Zeus, entrusting them to the forces of Earth for safekeeping.
Monitoring Aquaman
ARGUS had began monitoring Arthur Curry after he turned 20. Years later, Lex Luthor hijacked footage from an NSA UUV drone, where Curry was spotted emerging from a decrepit sunken ship somewhere within the Tonga Trench at over 20,000 feet. The drone was shortly after destroyed by Curry with his trident, and footage from a second drone showed the Atlantean swimming away fast enough to cause a sonic boom in his wake.[1]
Assault on Atlantis
During his return to Earth, Steppenwolf invaded the kingdom of Atlantis in his quest to reobtain and unify the Mother Boxes. There, he faced off against Mera and Aquaman, as well as a number of the Atlantean Royal Guard. Despite their attempts to combat his invasion, Steppenwolf successfully retrieved the Mother Box, escaping through a portal.
