Neptune Slaughter

Neptune Slaughter is a supervillain.

Scrimshaw abuse and pact with Poseidon

Poseidon holding a trident. Corinthian plaque, 550–525 BC. Inscription (not shown) reads: "To N. Slaughter. P."

A former abusive scrimshander, Slaughter renounced the knife and the ivory alike in a sacred pact with Poseidon.

As a result, Slaughter now controls 51% of the scrimshaw abuse trade in any coastal region subject to earthquakes, making him a very wealthy man indeed.

Aquaman (nonfiction)

This offer is contingent upon DC Comics and myself (as Slaughter's agent) agreeing to terms beforehand.
