History
The Giant-Born
A researcher named Daniel Evans had stolen the Trident of Neptune from Aquaman in an attempt to learn more about ancient Atlantis and, in doing so, inadvertently opened the artifact that imprisoned the ancient beasts and the hero Hercules. The Giant-Born, upon emerging, immediately recognized Aquaman's royal Atlantean symbol and launched a direct attack against him, associating him with the ancient family who had originally imprisoned them. Aquaman managed to initially fend off the creatures, as well as the mind-warped Hercules who also emerged from the artifact. The Giant-Born then escaped to the surface, making their way to Carcassonne in France, where Aquaman, with the later help of Wonder Woman and Daniel Evans, ultimately managed to put a stop to their rampage. (Aquaman v7 #29)
The newly escaped Giant-Born retreated from the initial battle site, traveling across the Atlantic to establish a new surface base within the ancient, walled medieval city of Carcassonne in southern France. The monsters utilized their immense physical mass and predatory traits to terrorize the local human populace, hiding within the stone fortifications. Tracking the entities' specific mystical signatures, Aquaman traveled to the region and enlisted the immediate tactical support of Wonder Woman. The two heroes launched a coordinated offensive inside the city gates, with Wonder Woman deploying her Lasso of Truth to ensnare the thrashing beasts while Daniel Evans assisted in identifying their operational patterns to halt their surface expansion. As the battle raged across the stone plazas of Carcassonne, the Giant-Born unleashed their full raw strength to overpower the Amazonian and Atlantean defenders. The creatures utilized their massive limbs to smash through the historical architecture, attempting to physically crush the heroes under the falling debris. Aquaman utilized his enhanced physical durability and close-quarters hand-to-hand combat skills to absorb the impact of their blunt-force strikes, driving the front-line monsters back into the open square. Despite the monsters' advanced size advantages and immense resilience against baseline physical trauma, the combined frontline pressure of Aquaman and Wonder Woman successfully pinned the main horde down, systematically neutralizing their combat mobility.

Overview
In appearance, the Giant-Born were towering, monstrous figures, a striking contrast to the more human-like Atlanteans and surface-dwellers. Their forms were not those of typical humanoids; rather, they were massive, fearsome abominations embodying the ancient power with which they had been imprisoned for millennia. Their sheer scale was their most defining characteristic, marking them as formidable beasts. While the exact intricacies of their monstrous anatomy were a terror to behold, they consistently presented a powerful, intimidating physical presence that immediately set them apart as non-human, primeval threats.
