of human-Atlantian hybrid mutant with superhuman strength, speed, agility,
stamina, durability, ankle wings facilitating prolonged flight at 60 miles
per hour, capable of creating corrosive secretions through hands and
amphibian traits enabling ability to breath both water and air. Note: Prolonged periods out of
water leave Namorita at about half her normal strength. Due to her
hybrid physiology it is possible her mental faculties become erratic if she
does not spend equal time on land and in the ocean. Normal
Atlantians are unable to survive outside of the ocean for prolonged
periods of time. |

| Origin |
|
Namora, the cousin of
Namor the Submariner, and a member of the royal family of Atlantis, was
unable to produce an heir to the throne due to her half Atlantian half
human hybrid genetics - which rendered her sterile. Persuading the
exiled Atlantian geneticist Vyrra to impregnate her with a cloned embryo
Namora gave birth to an apparently natural child. If the truth were
discovered there would be severe criminal penalties. Namora and her husband Talan raised
their daughter for the first
few years of her life in Lemeria. But the evil Llyra had Namora
poisoned, and Talan killed. The young girl escaped and fled to her cousin
Namor. The king of Atlantis adopted his cousin and she often
joined him in his adventures as the avenging daughter, Namorita. |
