In Aquaman #54,they called themselves "The Landlubbers". They built a TV and a computer that could work underwater. "The Landlubbers" were so curious about the surface that they went up to it. Their appearances frightened the civilians. Aquaman later rescued them and brought the three back to Atlantis.

    In Teen Titans, the character, Tramm, seems to take inspiration from Lagoon Boy. He was an Atlantean fish person and ally of Aqualad. His major contribution was his engineering skills. Unlike Lagoon Boy, Tramm was colored pink instead of green and could not speak English. However, he could "inflate" his body to increase his strength.
