Show Black Manta some respect.

The Absorbascon: BHM 1: Black Manta:

"People sometimes make fun of Black Manta because he got a less then stellar rep during his days on the Superfriends. But for me, Manta's got the 'autobuy' power: if Black Manta's in it, I buy it. He's the first villain ever really to strike a personal blow against a hero, when he killed Aquaman son. As such, Black Manta was the herald of our New Era of Villainy. He's also the 'highest-ranking' black villain in the DCU.

So show Black Manta some respect. Or else."
