Ocean Master

"*You were the reason our mother was executed. And I've hated you for it ever since. But I do not want to kill you, Arthur. I'm going to give you one chance. Go home. Do not ever come back to Atlantis. You are not going to win this. A war is coming to the surface whether you like it or not. And I am bringing the wrath of the seven seas with me.*"
―Orm Marius to Arthur Curry[src]
**Orm Marius** is the former king of Atlantis, the second son of Atlanna, and the younger half-brother of Arthur Curry. As the former ruler of Atlantis, Orm is a skilled warrior who sought to unite the Atlantean Empire as the "**Ocean Master**" against the surface world, due to humanity's continued pollution and mistreatment of the seas throughout history.

Despite his efforts, he ultimately failed to succeed in this undertaking and was finally defeated and apprehended by his half-brother, who usurped Orm's throne to become the King of Atlantis, with Marius being taken into custody and eventually imprisoned beneath the Kingdom of the Deserters.

## Personality

Ever since that he was born, Orm Marius has been raised on the values of being a great king as well as been guided by Vulko to become a magnificent great warrior, allowing him to develop great skills of warfare. As Orm rose to the surface world to learn about it, he has become known to the massively great damage that the human race and the surface are causing to the Seven Seas with pollution, factories, and trash, driving him into developing a psychotic obsession to destroy them all including the surface world to save Atlantis from extinction.

## Powers and abilities

### Powers

**Atlantean physiology**: As a high-born Atlantean, Orm possesses incredible superhuman abilities that surpass most other Atlanteans, with only other high-borns, such as his mother, Nuidis Vulko and half-brother currently being his equal in power. As a warrior prince of Atlantis, Orm was trained in the battle arts he has practiced for years to become the best.

* **Superhuman strength**: Orm naturally has incredible strength as a high-born Atlantean, making him far stronger than regular Atlanteans. He was strong enough to swiftly cut through the metal of a submarine with his trident, as well as raise a huge pillar to save King Nereus when he was caught during the attack on the Council of Kings.
* **Superhuman durability**: Orm possesses nigh-invulnerability, including resistance to explosions of powerful energy, immense blunt-force trauma, falls from great heights, explosions, low-caliber bullets, and tremendous underwater pressures.
* **Superhuman speed**: While underwater, Orm can swim at supersonic speeds. Orm's speed was able to rival and even, at times, overcome his brother Arthur, dodging many of his brother's blows with relative ease.
* **Superhuman senses**: As an Atlantean, Orm possesses enhanced senses to help him better navigate underwater.
	+ **Enhanced vision**: Orm's vision is better enhanced to help him see in the darker environment of the sea. From his perspective, the seemingly dark environment of Atlantis is brightly lit, with the vivid and vibrant flora and fauna of the sea being as clear as though he were on land.
* **Amphibious adaptation**: As a high-born Atlantean, Orm can survive both on land and in underwater environments, unlike most Atlanteans, who cannot breathe air.
	+ **Aquatic respiration**: Orm can naturally breathe underwater.

### Abilities

* **Master combatant**: Having trained his entire life at Atlantis to become the best, Orm is extremely skilled in both armed and unarmed combat, being an 8th Dan Nautilus in Xebel-Fu and the five-time undefeated trident champion. He was particularly adept at fighting underwater but also considerably skilled in fighting in a surface environment, as shown by how he was able to hold his own against the god of war Ares.
	+ **Trident mastery**: Being the five-time undefeated trident champion, Orm is extremely skilled in the use of his trident in combat.
* **Master tactician**:
* **Leadership**:
* **Expert rider**: Orm, due to regularly battling from the back of his massive tylosaur mount, is extremely skilled.
