I like him, but I can totally see where the mockery comes from

It mostly comes from his less than stellar depiction on Superfriends. Superfriends has haunted Aquaman's reputation for decades.

Propel Blast.
Dual Pistols for Scrappers. 
Metal Armor/Metal Melee for Tankers/Brutes! Not technically impossible, but apparently falls under the same category as Flatulence and Poop Monster Summoning!
Elasticity for ??? (It's technically impossible anyway!)
to 
TO THE END!Villains are those who dedicate their lives to causing mayhem. Villians are people from the planet Villia!
Dual Shields.
Dual Assault Rifles.
Female Mastermind pets.
Grappling. Which is apparently unpossible in the game engine.
Tales of Judgment. Also here, instead of that other place.
good luck D.B.B.
Dual Archery.
Carp Melee.
Carp Armor.
Vomit Blast.

This should be doable. For example by throwing a small amount of plastique and letting that detonate (someone I know accidently blew up his TV that way, but that's another story).|

Pistol Assault.
Not bloody likely, but I think it could be super awesome. The melee attacks could be a pistol-whip for the lower damage one... for the higher-damage one, I'm picturing shooting them point blank, something akin to Mind Probe from the psionic assault set, only with a gun.
Duplication mastermind set.

See, my take on this would be to use dual pistols for the ranged attacks, and martial arts for the melee attacks. Add in a devices/traps-like control set, and you've got a good Natural Dom.

Although a quaint reference, no i was meaning an actual mastermind set where the summoned pets were copies of your character. Or were you being funny again? I can't tell unless you use the winkie. |

.well, for me, it seems that shapeshifting is thus far limited to kheldians, id like to see a natural shape-shifting set, with things like eagles, snakes, giant wolves and bears, but i feel bab's hands reaching out to throttle me over the suggestion fo animating all of that.
i would love a pulp fiction-y ray gun set, would likely be too specific to go with, but with mad science style blast/buff pairing with shrink rays, freeze rays, and more futuristic pistol designs than would make sense with dual pistols.
tail melee, kind of like the scorpion from spiderman, your tail would be like a crab backpack, uniform and unchangeable, and all attack animations would come from it. i can see this being an animation nightmare as well, given that the tail would have to involve a lot of turning.
finally, onmyoji control. use geomancery and possessed paper dolls to stun and hold your opponents. maybe even have the single target holds be big red and yellow sutra papers you toss and slam on your targets foreheads. maybe a bit too city of manga there, plus im mixing geomancers with exorcists with the sutra thing, but dang i'd play one
and what the heck, im going tos econd golden's hair control. have you ever played guilty gear? the character milla rage has a wide variety of hair based attacks, and while the animatiosn would again be as improbable as the tail thing, it would look cool.
and finally, water anything, not going to happen here or at the ex-es, too nasty on rendering, understood . oh and grappling, so far nobody can really set this up fully, so not holding my breath for that, maybe blade and soul? maybe not.

ninjutsu blast/manipulation/control: It'll never happen just because BELIEVE IT!
