Namora is the name of two fictional characters in various Marvel Comics publications. Both are female superheroes from Atlantis, both are the daughters of an Atlantean parent and a surface-dwelling parent, and both are associated in some way with Namor the Sub-Mariner.

The first Namora is a character from the Golden Age of Comic Books. Her original name was Aquaria Nautica Neptunia, but she was nicknamed "Namora" in honor of her cousin Namor. When her father was killed by treasure-hunting surface-dwellers, she fully changed her name to Namora, the Atlantean term for "Avenging Daughter", as Namor means "Avenging Son". She was Namor's cousin, and became his companion for a period of several years. She had her own comic book, but it lasted only three issues. In the modern age, she appeared in the Silver Age Sub-Mariner series, where she was fatally poisoned by the Atlantean terrorist Llyra. She was survived by her clone, Namorita, who by Atlantean law is legally considered her daughter. Marvel: The Lost Generation revealed that she had been a member of The Monster Hunters in 1956.

Exiles

The second Namora is associated with the multiversal travelers called the Exiles. She is an alternate-earth counterpart of Namor the Sub-Mariner. Unlike the Earth-616 Namor, she is female and has the blue skin of most Atlanteans. Namora first appeared in Exiles #46, and was created by Tony Bedard and Mizuki Sakakibara. In Namora's universe, she conquered the world and ruled it for decades, before becoming 'unhinged' in time and forced to join the Exiles, much to her chagrin. Having a haughty attitude, she acted like she was superior to the other members. Still, she was shown that she did care for them, as evidenced when she thought that Hyperion had killed Morph. She lashed out at Hyperion, breaking his neck. However, it was for naught. Hyperion recovered quickly and blasted Namora, killing her.
