In documents released this morning from the United States bankruptcy court in Myrtle Beach, the super-hero known as Aquaman has filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection. Aquaman cited a number of financial and personal setbacks that led to the filing. Aquaman was suspended from the justice league in 1989 after several members criticized his mishandling of the Exxon Valdez oil spill. He was expelled just six months later after a Carnival Cruise ship picked up a significantly intoxicated Aquaman off the coast of Cuba. Then in 1998 Aqua-man lost the support of his most loyal companions, the ocean creatures, after signing a deal with Hormell foods to endorse “Seahorse Jerky - the Beef Jerky of the Sea”. Currently Aquaman is working as a bus driver for the Myrtle Beach Metro Transit Authority.
