    Origin

    The Queen and her glory
    The Queen and her glory

    As with any character that has existed in the medium for such a long time, Mera has had her origin told many times and this creates some confusion to the exact origin of the character. In the silver age, she was the resident of a watery dimension known as Xebel, and she fled from there to Earth from the villain Leron. After arriving on Earth she met Aquaman and the two formed a crime fighting partnership before eventually marrying. A modified origin indicates that Xebel was actually a banished coloney of Atlanteans which had been sealed within the Bermuda Triangle.

    Mera and her sister Hila were princesses of Xebel and sent to destroy Aquaman. Instead Mera fell in love with him and abandoned her people to become the Queen of Atlantis. Queen Mera is very hot tempered. However, she is also kind, generous, loyal, sympathetic, and more. She is always by Aquaman's side; she serves both as his wife, queen and counselor. She takes her duty to her people very seriously. She sees herself as her people's servant, meaning that nothing is beneath her.

    Mera’s first appearance was in Aquaman #1 in 1963. Created by artist Nick Cardy and writer Jack Miller.

    Character Evolution

    Mera and Aquaman Adventures
    Mera and Aquaman Adventures

    Mera's publication history is a lot longer than most contemporary characters, having spanned almost fifty years. As with many characters of the silver age (and especially female characters) her depiction was generally two dimensional, but after the decision that one of her sons died in infancy, she began to be displayed as more independent, both in love with Aquaman, but also unable to face their past.

    In the New 52 reboot, they seem to be at peace with one another, though it is not yet revealed how this relates to the continuity before the reboot.

    In Rebirth, Mera is much more independent. After Aquaman was dethroned by an Usurpur, he was trapped by the crown of torn. Mera saw it as her duty to free her husband, so she spent night and days trying to. She spent weeks without food, rest or sleep. However, in her quest to save her husband, she almost drowns an entire city. The Justice League has to intervene, but Queen Mera was able to take them down one by one. She almost drowns Superman and Wonder Woman and pulled the water out of Flash's body. Later, she was offered a membership to the Justice League which she accepts saying that its what Aquaman would have wanted.

    In February 2018, she was given her own solo series in which she is trying to reunite with Aquaman once again.

    Major Story Arcs

    Mera's family
    Mera's family

    The majority of the character’s silver appearances did not result in any notable story arcs. This is mostly as a result of the general depiction of comic book characters at the time (in that most did not have story arcs) instead focusing more on self-contained adventures within individual issues, or occasionally in two or three. The first major development which occurred to Mera was the death of their child Arthur Curry Jr, who was murdered by Black Manta. Mera began to resent that the father was not by the son when he died (as the son died a short time later while they tried to save his life.)

    The two eventually came to a violent confrontation in which Aquaman assumed that Mera had died, but it was later revealed that Thanatos had brainwashed her. She was held in a hellish dimension known as the Netherspace. She was eventually freed by her husband. The two remained estranged and she even ruled as Queen during his exile. Arthur had also begun a relationship with Dolphin for a time, but he would eventually reunite with Mera.

    Atlantis was sent back in time by Tempest during the Imperiex War. It was later restored with the help of the Justice League of America. She later showed up shortly before Aquaman’s death in One Year Later . After these events she regained her full abilities and formed a rebel army with the new Aquaman with the goal of rebuilding Atlantis after its destruction at the hands of the Spectre. During Blackest Night, a group of Atlanteans including Mera attempt to retrieve the body of Aquaman to return it to the royal tomb. She is shocked to discover he has been returned to life as a Black Lantern, and was later joined by Dolphin and Tula (Aquagirl.) In the end the remainder of the Atlanteans are killed and Garth is brought back as a Black Lantern as well. Black Lantern Aquaman tempts her with their deceased child but she flees and joins forces with the Atom and the Flash. She is eventually deputized as a Red Lantern, which increased her power substantially. When Arthur was subsequently revived, her red ring separated itself from her, leaving her in cardiac arrest, but Saint Walker and Carol Ferris were able to save her.

    During the events of Brightest Day the two of them rekindle their love and the two began to work together, notably saving a group of children from abduction, but they are confused as Aquaman can summon zombie versions of marine wildlife. Soon after she is forced to reveal to Aquaman her true history, that she was originally sent to kill him.

    Mera is still struggling to adjust to life on the surface. She fought The Trench at Aquaman's side. She hates how humans show neither Arthur nor her any respect even after how much they've helped them. Now, with Arthur fighting to find Black Manta with The Others, she is forced to stay back with Dr. Shin.

    Throne of Atlantis

    Mera Vs. Black Manta

    The US Navy accidentally sends missiles into the ocean. This provokes Ocean Master, king of Atlantis, to declare war on the surface world (using plans Aquaman wrote years before). Ocean Master captures most of the Justice League underwater, so Aquaman, Mera, and Cyborg go to rescue them. This ultimately leads to Aquaman becoming the new king of Atlantis.

    Death of a King

    With Aquaman as king of Atlantis, the First King returns to become ruler of the 7 seas once again. Shortly after, Mera runs into Nereus, who calls her his wife. Nereus is the ruler of Xebel, and has assumed that Mera was dead. Is it then stated that Nereus sent her to kill Aquaman, three years ago. Aquaman engages in a fight with the First King, while Scavenger invades Atlantis. Much to Mera's surprise, the people Xebel bow to the First King, declaring him the "true king of the 7 seas."

    In rebirth, Queen Mera is trying to Reunite back with Aquaman. After being separated from him by the barrier the current king of Atlantis. It was revealed that she never wanted to be a queen because having grown up a princess, she knew the politics of it. She just wanted a normal married life with Arthur. However, after being separated from her husband, she proves that she will do anything to be with him including teaming up with both friends and foes. She even teams up with Orm in order to take the throne back from the usurper who had dethroned her husband before.

    The Rise and Fall Of Atlantis

    Hail The New Queen
    Hail The New Queen

    After losing the crown to a new king, Aquaman gave up the throne and went to explore the world instead. The Council of Atlantis nominated Princess Mera to the throne because she understood the sacrifices the crown demands as she was raised a dutiful princess from Xebel. In Suicide Squad #45 - Sink Atlantis! Part One, Mera is crowned the new Queen of Atlantis. She seems to be keeping her calm under all the pressure Atlantis is under. After the event of Dark Night Metal, Atlantis has risen from the sea to the beach, and the United States government is trying to sink it back into the sea. Amanda Waller sent her army to do the job and is willing to kill millions in the process. When Queen Mera finds out that the Suicide Squad was in Atlantis, she sent Aquaman to assemble a team of villains in order to fight fire with fire without starting an official war with the United States government.

    Marriage and Motherhood

    When Mera and Arthur were going to get married, they also became parents to Princess Andy.

    Helping Jackson

    After Arthur left for Mars, Mera aided a family friend named Jackson Hyde when he arrived in the middle of the night, having been attacked and then nearly arrested for something he didn't do. She agreed to help him and gave him a device to do that, and then sent him on his way to the surface. Mera went back to sleep only to be awoken a little bit later by Atlantean law enforcement, who wanted to question her about Jackson. With no one to watch Andy, Mera brought her daughter along.

    During the questioning, Mera was adamant that Jackson was innocent. She also said that they were accusing Jackson because he was from Xebel after one of the guards was shown to be xenophobic. When the guards left the room, Mera listened to their conversation. When they returned, she entertained their questions for a little longer, before leaving with Andy to go to Lucia Hyde, Jackson's mother. There, she met David and then spoke with Lucia about Jackson.

    Afterwards, she returned to Atlantis and had a brief discussion with the lieutenant of the Atlantean guard Charleze before leaving to give Andy a tour of a museum. However, after she met up with the museum's curator, the real reason she was there was revealed: she met up with Ha'wea to give an update on Jackson.

    Powers and Abilities

    Mera possesses abilities common to all Xebelians, but to a greater degree, especially her water control.

    Superhuman Strength

    Mera swimming in the Ocean
    Mera swimming in the Ocean

    Mera possesses considerable superhuman strength (carrying capacity of at least 70 tons). She has been shown as strong enough to lift an entire section of an Atlantean ship with dozens of people still attached to it. She can easily leap hundreds of yards, and effortlessly rip through metal barriers.

    Superhuman Swimming Speed

    Mera can swim much faster than normal Atlanteans or Xebelians. Her swimming is boosted by her advanced level of water manipulation. She is on Aquaman's level, which would make her one of the fastest swimmers in the DC universe, and able to 'cruise' through the water at a rate of at least 300mph. Her top speed is still unknown.

    Superhuman Jump

    Mera, like Aquaman, can leap great distances either on land or out of water. Her ability can be boosted by her water control. She can leap so high she appears to be flying and has boarded a plane mid flight.

    Superhuman Durability

    Queen Mera and Aquaman fighting Superman

    Mera possesses high resistance to blunt trauma, magical attacks, physical attacks, strong impacts, falling from great heights, high temperatures, heavy objects and projectile weapons without sustaining injury.

    Enhanced Senses

    Mera has shown the ability to see, hear or talk normally even at the bottom of the ocean. This would indicate that both her vision and hearing capacities are at superhuman levels. She can also sense nearby water sources when she is away from the ocean.

    Immortality

    Mera is immortal and has an extended lifespan which allows her to exist indefinitely. She doesn't age, wither, or degrade.

    Underwater Adaptation

    She can function normally underwater and is able to withstand the high pressures and extreme temperatures of the deep, like all Xebelians. She can breath both on land and underwater.

    Hydrokinesis (Water Manipulation)

    Water Power
    Water Power

    Mera possesses hydrokinesis (water control) like all Xebelians, but her ability is greater than the others.

    She can manipulate water in any shape or form like shields or melee weapons. She can also pull water seemingly out of nowhere like in the air and out of other people's body. She was able to dehydrate Flash by taking the water from his body. Her most known use of her power is solidifying water in what is called "Hard Water". She can use her Hard Water power to move around on solid water, form shields, weapons or concussive blasts. She can also manipulate the water on other peoples bodies for multiple effects such as dehydration. She can manipulate water on the level of creating or holding back a tidal wave, though it taxes her greatly. When attempting feats of such magnitude Mera has repeatedly had nosebleeds and on some occasions even fainted from the effort. Although it must be noted that Mera had success, even though she was weakened after.

    Skilled Assassin / Leader

    Mera is a trained assassin. She was trained from a very young age by the Xebelian King (her father) in order to kill the King of Atlantis. She is an expert on using her water control powers in combat. Additionally Mera is a proven leader, having led Atlantis before and is also quite intelligent, coming up with effective battle tactics during a battle.

    Weapons and Equipment

    Mera wears her trademark green full body armored suit.

    Mera wears a characteristic green full body armored suit. The suit further enhances her own durability to bulletproof levels.

    Former Powers

    Red Lantern Power Ring

    Mera was in possession of a Red Lantern Power Ring fueled by rage for a very short period of time. The ring granted her the full range of its powers and further enhanced her own. As a forer red lantern member, Mera possessed those abilities:

    Remembering what's important
    Remembering what's important
    • Animating: A Red Lantern can will things to move how he wants.
    • Caustic Effect: Red Lantern power can damage and drain away the power of other lanterns almost like a poison. For example Green Lanterns who survive a Red Lantern attack will begin to lose power from the almost napalm-like attacks of Red Lanterns.
    • Communicator: The ring can act as a personal communicator between Lanterns.
    • Costumes: The wearer of the ring may create any costume they choose, based on their personal preferences, whenever they choose. The ring projects the costume over any clothes already worn at the time. While Red Lanterns have no costume code they all are red and black with the Red Lantern symbol displayed.
    • Energy Projection: The rings can also project beams, form protective bubbles, force fields, and can fire destructive blasts. The attacks often come from the mouth from a Red Lantern.
    • Energy Constructs: The rings can construct anything the wearer can imagine from hard-light energy, as long as they are willing to make it. The more determined the wearer is, the more complex and intricate these things can be. The constructs can even be so complex as to form working machines, computers, and even people. Red Lanterns seem to have difficulty creating constructs. Atrocitus is one of a handful that have been able to do it.
    • Flight: The ring allows the wearer to fly in atmosphere or in space, and can achieve incredible speeds, moving from planet to planet in a matter of hours.
    • Heart Replacement: Red Lantern Rings replace the heart of the lantern who wields them so removing a Red Lantern ring is often fatal without medical attention or the presence of a Blue Lantern. Atrocitus had his heart ripped from his body and was able to return to the fight within seconds since his ring serves as his heart.
    • Mirages: The Ring can create mirages/illusions.
    • Recharging: The rings need to be recharged by means of a Power Battery. Other large sources of power may be used to recharge a power ring, however effectiveness may vary. The internal power source of a Manhunter Android is, in effect, the same as a power battery, and can be used to recharge a power ring. During the JLA / Avengers crossover, a Cosmic Cube was used to recharge a depleted ring, although this is not an ideal solution and is available if there are no other options.
    • Ring Duplication: Each ring can duplicate itself, creating a second ring which may be given to another as a backup, for protection, or to help the lantern in times of great need. This duplicate ring is exactly like a normal ring.
    • Temperature Control: The Ring can increase or decrease the temperature of anything, even something as large as stars, or even create bubbles of intense heat or cold, even down to absolute zero.
    • Electro-magnetic scanning: Through the use of x-rays the ring can allow the user to see through walls without the people on the other side knowing. It can also scan along the electromagnetic spectrum.
    • Wormhole/Warps: The ring can open wormholes to cut down on distance.

    Limited Telepathy

    In the pre-Flashpoint universe, Mera used to have a limited amount of telepathy, occasionally shown as able to communicate with other Atlanteans.
