After the loss of his left hand, Aquaman initially replaced it with a cybernetic harpoon that responded to his thoughts (shaping into a metal hand) and could be fired while staying attached via a retractable line. Later, the harpoon was replaced by a magical hand made out of water given to him by the Lady of the Lake, which grants Aquaman numerous abilities, including but not limited to: the ability to dehydrate anyone he touches with it, killing them instantly; to make the hand extremely dense, thus taking Aquaman to the ocean floor quickly; the ability to shape the hand into a weapon;[19] the ability to shoot jets of scalding water; healing abilities;[20] the ability to create portals into mystical dimensions;[21] the ability to communicate with the Lady of the Lake through the waterbearer hand;[22] and the ability to nullify magic.
