Namora is a Talokanil warrior and a trusted confidant of Namor.
Biography[]
Early Life[]
Namora idolized Namor, the king of the underwater nation of Talokan since her childhood, desiring to fight by his side. Eventually, she grew to become his second-in-command, and advised him on national matters along with fellow Talokanil, Attuma.[2]
Talokanil-Wakandan War[]
Attack on the Harvey Sub-Sea[]
Namora with Talokanil warriors on the Harvey Sub-Sea
The Talokanil found Americans mining for Vibranium in the oceans. They ambushed the ship and used their mind control to have many Humans jump overboard. Attuma, Namora, and another Talokanil then jumped onto the boat with Attuma striking Smitty in the chest. Graham then shot at Attuma, but it did nothing, so she ran. Attuma told them to chase her.
Namora and the other Talokanil chased Graham down to the helicopter pad. As the helicopter arrived, Namora tried to jump on, but was shot at, causing her to fall. Graham then lifted off with her pilot. However, they did not get far as Namor took the helicopter out of the air and threw it into the water.[2]
Abducting Riri Williams[]
Namora with Attuma in Cambridge
Namor met with Ramonda and gave her an ultimatum to help him kill the scientist who made a Vibranium Detector. Worried that they would help the scientist rather than kill her, Namor sent the troops out to Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Talokanil arrived on their giant whale and attacked Shuri, Okoye, and Riri Williams. They threw a Hydrobomb at the group, causing them to flip over.
As Attuma fought Okoye, Namora ran to take care of the police. Namora did so and easily killed them using her spear skills. When she returned, she saw that Okoye was still not defeated. Annoyed, she told Attuma to stop playing games and threw him a water bomb. Attuma then deflected it into Okoye, sending her off the bridge. They then took Shuri to Talokan.[2]
Welcoming Shuri and Meeting in Capital City[]
Namora and the Talokanil preparing for the attack
In Talokan, Namora greeted Riri Williams and Shuri in Namor's cenote. She gave Shuri clothes so that she could meet with Namor. Later, after Namor showed Shuri Talokan and wanted to have an alliance, Namora showed up out of the water to inform Namor that he had been summoned outside of Talokan. Not long after Shuri's rescue, an angry Namor spoke to all of Talokan, telling them they were going to war, and it was his fault that he exposed them to Shuri.[2]
Attack on the Golden City[]
Namor led the charge as Talokanil invaded Wakanda. They flooded the place and met with Namor on the sand. Namora knelt to him and reported that defenses had been led away, so it was Namor's turn to do his thing. M'Baku then attacked from behind, but Namor easily disposed of him before calling for more attacks. In the end, Namor killed Queen Ramonda.[2]
Battle at the Sea Leopard[]
Namora breaks the Wakandan sonic emitter
Later, Namora and Attuma informed Namor that there was another Vibranium Detector in the ocean. They located the Vibranium Detector in the Atlantic Ocean, and Namor led his army to it. When he approached it, the detector let out a loud noise, causing Namor to order everyone to get out of the water. They all swam up, only to see the Sea Leopard above the water; it was an ambush. As everyone attacked the boat, climbing up the sides, Namora stayed below the water and found the sonic emitter. She worked hard to break it before placing a Hydrobomb in it, blowing up the emitter.
The whales then arrived with loads of water bombs, which blew up the bottom of the ship, causing it to tip over as Black Panther and Namor battled in the distance. This sent Wakandans overboard into the water where they could get the upper hand. Namora killed many Wakandans until she saw Ironheart swimming after her. Namora then grabbed onto Ironheart, flying into the air with her.
Namora fights Ironheart midair
Namora struggled to stay on the back of Ironheart, but was able to gain the upper hand by trapping her neck with her spear. Suddenly, Ironheart got Namora to get in front of her, using this opportunity to blast Namora with her blasters, sending Namora into the sea below and away from the boat. Soon, Namor returned, making peace with Shuri.[2]
Aftermath[]
In the aftermath, a disappointed Namora approached Namor in his cenote. Namor was more at peace, now that the war was over. She voiced her concerns, saying he said he was going to fight with her. Namor assured Namora that the new alliance was better for Talokan in the long run, especially since they could maybe rule the world together in the future.[2]
Personality[]
Namora has a very serious and no-nonsense attitude. When she and Attuma were tasked to take Riri Williams due to the risk of her inventions for Talokan, her top priority throughout the battle was to retrieve the young scientist instead of wasting time on dueling with Okoye, hoping to end the battle quickly. She is also stern and quiet, preferring to not talk much.
She is loyal to Namor and Talokan, immediately following any of Namor's orders. She is also fearless, as when other Talokanil warriors briefly fell back due to a sonic device on the Wakandan Sea Leopard, she went alone to destroy it so that her fellow Talokanil warriors could move forward and approach their enemies, putting her own life at risk so that others could join the battle.
Namora deeply respects her King, and so do other Talokanil, yet Namora seemed to have her own sense of right and wrong as she initially believed that Namor should not yield in his battle with the Wakandans and is upset at what he had done. However, Namor dismissed her concerns by stating that the truce was for the greater good.

- Enhanced Durability: Namora's body is more resistant to physical damage than the body of a normal human being.
- Enhanced Speed: Underwater, Namora can swim and move at incredible superhuman speeds. On the surface, Namora can still move quickly, but not as fast as in the water.
