Ocean Master (Orm Marius)

== History ==
=== Early Life ===
Orm Marius was born in the ancient underwater city of Atlantis, and because of this he possessed a physiology far superior to regular humans. He was the son of the Atlantean military chief Orvax Marius and the queen of Atlantis Atlanna. As a child he learnt that he had an older brother stuck on the surface world who was the child of his mother and a surface-dweller named Tom Curry, his name was Arthur. His father also had another child, this one illegitimate. This girl would be named Tula and would serve in the Atlantean Army. He was raised to believed that the people of the surface were cancerous and not to be interacted with.
His father Orvax was extremely abusive and would often beat his son and wife, eventually Atlanna killed Orvax on Orm's twelfth birthday when he told her he had killed her surface family. Later on in his life Atlanna was supposedly killed in a freak accident and Orm was accused by Atlanna's royal advisor Vulko, this led to the advisor being banished to the surface world.
Eventually Arthur travelled with Vulko to Atlantis, and Orm happily stepped down as King so his brother could take the throne. The brothers would have a healthy relationship, and Orm would tell Arthur cautionary tales about why the surface people shouldn't be trusted. Eventually Arthur saw the surface folk in the same way as Orm and the brothers planned contingencies should the surface attack their home.
However in the end Arthur stepped down as King, allowing Orm to take the throne once more.
=== King Orm ===
While Orm was the king of Atlantis, he made it very militant. When the Imperator of the Veil created an island in the middle of the ocean, Orm became disgusted that this surface dweller would take his land. Allying himself with the US and Russian governments, Orm assembled an invasion force consisting of super powered beings, soldiers, creatures, and the Trench. They did not get to slaughter all the island, but the Veil were relocated into space, out of the ocean.

=== Equipment ===
* Royal Crown: As the king of Atlantis, Orm possessed a crown that doubled as a helmet. The Royal Crown gave Ocean Master power over the oceans themselves. He was able to telekinetically bend sea water to his whim in a similar way to Mera while he wore the helm.
