NAMORA

 

NAMORA

Real Name: Aquaria Nautica Neptunia

First Appearance: Marvel Mystery Comics (Vol. 1) #82, May 1947

Powers: Namora, originally named Lady Aquaria Nautica Neptunia, is the cousin of Namor and a Sub-Mariner in her own right. Like her cousin, Namora was also born a Homo Sapiens Superior (mutant) hybrid of Homo Sapiens (human) and Homo Sapiens Mermanus (Atlantean) genes. As a result, this grants her abilities far greater then any one of her pure genetic blood lines.

Also, Namor and Namora are not blood related. Her Atlantean father was an adopted member of the royal family, and so she and Namor do not share family genetics.

Her strength level is around Class 50-70, in addition to superhuman swimming speed, agility, endurance, reflexes, vision, and durability. Naturally she is also amphibious, able to breathe on land or underwater. Namora did not originally possess ankle wings allowing her to fly, though a geneticist suggested once she had the latent ability to manifest these wings. They have apparently done so now that she has emerged from her comatose state.
