It seemed that every prominent superhero found an evil opposite, a twisted mirror image of himself, that challenged them on a personal level. For the Supermen, it was Bizarro and Flying Tiger; for each Flash, it was Professor Zoom and the Rival; for the Hawkmen, it was Shrike and Trata, for the Green Lanterns, it was Sinestro and...well... Sinestro's clone!
For the Aquaman of Earth-One, it was wealthy playboy Peter Dudley, who had a scientist augment him into the mutated Aquabeast in order to captivate Mera's attention and affection. For the Aquaman of Earth-Two, it was a prolific swimmer named Hall recruited by gangsters with gadgets to cheat innocent islanders out of their personal possessions.
In the end, Dudley saved Mera's life from an alien at the cost of his own... while Hall ended up incarcerated along with his friends when his deception was revealed.
