Summary

David Kane was the son of Jesse Kane, the leader of a pirate mercenary gang that stole an experimental navy ship and later hijacked a nuclear submarine. When Aquaman intervened and confronted the gang, resulting in Jesse's death, David swore revenge on Aquaman by crafting a suit out of Atlantean technology (given to David by fellow Aquaman enemy Ocean Master) to assist himself and become Black Manta.
