Namorita (Marvel Comics)

**Namorita Prentiss**, also known as **Namorita**, was born over 30 years ago to Namora, the half-human cousin of Prince Namor. Unknown to her husband Talan, Namora became pregnant via genetic manipulation by the Atlantean scientist Vyrra, who implanted her with her own clone that had been infused with genes from Atlantis' greatest warriors.

## Powers

**Human/Atlantean Physiology:** Namorita's powers come from being a hybrid of *Homo mermanus* (Atlantean) and *Homo superior* (mutant) physiologies.

* ***Amphibious Physiological Adaptation:*** Namorita's body is specially developed for underwater conditions, granting her specialized blood circulation to withstand freezing temperatures and highly developed vision to see clearly in murky ocean depths. This hybrid physiology means that she can survive indefinitely underwater or on land, though she would still need occasional contact with water to survive.
	+ ***Aquatic Healing:*** If injured, Namorita's body can heal damaged tissue faster and more extensively than an ordinary human or most Atlanteans can. Namorita's accelerated healing is at its peak while she is immersed in water and diminishes the longer she is out of contact with water of if she is completely dry.
	+ ***Amphibious Breathing:*** Like all Atlanteans, Namorita can breathe indefinitely underwater due to having gills located behind her ears. Unlike most Atlanteans, however, Namorita can also breathe on land indefinitely as well without the aid of breathing devices.
* ***Superhuman Strength:*** Like all Atlanteans, Namorita is superhumanly strong. While Namorita is immersed in water, she is capable of lifting 75 tons, although prolonged surface activity could reduce her strength to 33% or lower.
* ***Superhuman Speed:*** Namorita can run and move at speeds greater than even the finest human athlete. Her speed, however, is greatest while swimming.
* ***Superhuman Stamina:*** Namorita's advanced musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of normal human beings and most other Atlanteans. Her stamina, much like her strength, steadily declines the longer she is out of contact with water and will diminish to the point where she only has slightly greater stamina than the finest human athlete.
* ***Superhuman Agility:*** Namorita's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete.
* ***Superhuman Reflexes:*** Namorita's reflexes are similarly heightened and are superior to those of the finest human athlete.
* ***Superhuman Durability:*** The tissues of Namorita's body are much harder and more resistant to physical injury than those of a normal human being and most other Atlanteans. She can withstand tremendous impact forces, high caliber bullets, falls from great heights, exposure to temperature and pressure extremes, and powerful energy blasts without sustaining injury, though it is still possible to injure her.
* ***Extended Longevity:*** Atlanteans age much slower and live much longer than human beings with the average Atlantean lifespan being about 120 years.

**Winged Flight:** Namorita also possesses vestigial wings on both of her ankles, by which she is able to fly. As these tiny wings are insufficient to keep her aloft, it has been theorized that her flight capacity is a mental power akin to telekinesis and that the wings merely assist in the process of guiding her flight.

**Mental Detection:** Namorita can sense when her cousin, Namor, is in danger within an undefined radius of herself by perceiving the distinctive mental radiations emitted by him.

**Acute Hearing:** Namorita has sensitive hearing.

**Electricity Absorption**

**Offensive Secretion (*formerly*):** Namorita could secrete corrosive acid or Category:Poison Generationparalyzing toxin from her hands.

**Animal Mimicry (*formerly*):** Namorita had the ability to change her skin color as a means of camouflage. The effect was so convincing that it seemed that she could actually turn invisible. This is evidence that she has Namor's ability to mimic the abilities of sea animals.

## Abilities

**Atlantean Combat:**Namorita has been trained in Atlantean combat methods.

**Multilingual:** She is fluent in English, Atlantean, and Lemurian.
