Aquaman has control over all creatures of the ocean. Cthulhu is a creature of the sea (arguably). Can aquaman control Cthulhu? If not is it because Aquaman is not powerful enough or because Cthulhu does not count?
From Comic-Vine
Although this power is most often and most easily used on marine life, Aquaman has demonstrated the capacity to affect any being that lives upon the sea or even any being evolved from marine life.
Emphasis mine
Answer
Isn't Cthulhu a god/alien? He may currently in the sea, but he's not a "creature of the sea" - and will not always be that way.
Cthulhu is a Great Old One and is by far the most prominent member of the group. He currently lies in death-like sleep in the sunken city of R'lyeh somewhere in the Southeast Pacific Ocean. "When the stars are right", R'lyeh will rise from the sea, never to sink again, and Cthulhu will awaken and revel across the world, "ravening for delight" (src).
He's also not necessarily fully "aquatic" biologically: "simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature". And I'm not sure that Octopoid physiology fully implies aquatic evolution.
So the answer is "NO".
Please note that "Great Cthulhu is one of the Water Beings" is from Derleth's scheme, NOT from Lovecraft himself.
