Namorita
Encyclopedia
Namorita Prentiss is a fictional superhero
in the Marvel Universe
, commonly known by the name of Nita. She is a mutant
clone of her mother, Namora
, and a member of the New Warriors
. She was killed in the explosion in Stamford
that started the Superhero Civil War
.
. She mostly served as a supporting character for Namor until she was cast as a founding member of the New Warriors
in 1989. She played a prominent role in the first three volumes of the team's book, and has appeared several times in the solo comics of her Warriors teammate and sometimes-romantic interest Nova
.
, was the first cousin of Namor, and, like Namor, was a hybrid with superhuman strength and the power of flight by using the ankle wings on her feet. Unlike Namor, her mother was human and her father Atlantean.
Namora's sterility created tension with her husband Talan. Upon meeting Vyrra, an Atlantean scientist who had been exiled for practicing the forbidden science of cloning
, she requested that he make a clone of her to which she could give birth.
After the clone Namorita was born, Talan was killed by an atomic explosion. Consequently, Namora raised the child in Lemuria
. Namora met her (presumed) death at the hands of Llyra
, her rival for the affections of a Lemurian prince. Namora did not reveal to her daughter that she was a clone before her death.
Llyra and Byrrah
, another cousin of Namor, decided to deploy Namorita in a plot against Namor, threatening that they would destroy Namora's seemingly dead (but actually only frozen) body if she did not lure Namor into a trap. In her first encounter with Namor since reaching adolescence, she was captured by Byrrah, but rescued by Namor. Namor and Namorita would eventually unite to defeat Llyra and Byrrah. She revealed her past to Namor, and developed an infatuation with Namor, and convinced Namor to let Byrrah go free. She first visited New York City. Namor introduced the girl to his long-time friend Betty Dean Prentiss, whom Namorita would eventually consider a guardian and second mother — she went by the Prentiss name while in the surface world. (Betty Prentiss would eventually be killed by Dr. Lemuel Dorcas
, Namor's enemy.)
Namorita rescued a drowning Wundarr, and rescued him from his people, the Dakkamites. She left him with the Thing
as a guardian, and became Wundarr's guardian for a time herself. Namorita was later abducted by Llyra, who nearly succeeded in tricking Namor into killing her. However, Namorita was rescued by him instead.
. During a trip, she was forced to battle long-time Fantastic Four
foe, Terrax
. She was joined by five other young superheroes, and after Nita and Nova
subdued Terrax by severing his contact with the ground, the six formed the New Warriors
. When Namor decided to start a financial empire a short time later, Nita joined him as a member of the board of Oracle, Inc. Around Namor, Namorita was always deferential, but around the Warriors she would act tough.
Namorita, as a New Warrior, aided Thor
in battling Juggernaut
. She was engulfed and subsequently rescued from Sluj by Namor. She and her fellow Warriors first battled Psionex
, then fought the third Star Thief
and journeyed to the Blue Area of the Moon, where they encountered the Inhumans
Royal Family and the Watcher
. Namorita was beaten by Neo-Nazis in Berlin. She escaped to England, where she was reunited with Jacqueline Crichton
and Union Jack
, and fought Warrior Woman
. She then discovered that she was a clone. After being severely beaten by the scavenger known as Sea Urchin, she first swapped her usual green bathing suit for Atlantean armor, then soundly beat the Urchin in a rematch.
When team founder Night Thrasher took a hiatus from the Warriors, Namorita led the team. However, the stress of leading the Warriors, the revelation of her cloned nature, and ruling Atlantis during Namor's absence all proved to be too much for her. She became drunk at a nightclub and left with the leader of the Poison Memories gang, who wanted to gain vengeance against the Warriors. He stole information from Namorita's apartment which was used to kidnap many of the Warriors' family members. After the surviving family members were rescued, Namorita's guilt over the incident forced her to leave the Warriors.
Namorita returned to Atlantis, only to be denied entry as the Atlanteans discovered her clone nature. This seemed to be the final catalyst for Nita. An over-saturation of oxygen, coupled with the DNA
Vyrra spliced into her at the time of her creation, caused her to change into a closer version of the original Atlanteans. Because of this, Namorita gave herself the name Kymaera. While fighting alongside the Warriors, she was captured and brainwashed by a terrorist organization, only to be rescued by Night Thrasher (who received a tip from the Mad Thinker
).
On one occasion, Namorita became covered with pus-filled boils. Her lover Nova
saw her in this state and did not speak in time to reassure the emotionally vulnerable Namorita that his feelings for her had not changed. His hesitation sent her over the edge, and she left. A crestfallen Namorita went to take a shower and, to her surprise, her skin returned to its original pink tone. She also shed her pointed ears, webbed hands, and glassy black eyes. Following this transformation, Namorita continued to mutate and developed new powers. She found that she could secrete burning acid or a paralytic toxin and could become transparent. After her breakup with Nova, Namorita briefly dated Johnny Storm (the Human Torch
), and co-ruled Atlantis in a Council of Three
with Warlord Seth and the warrior Andromeda
. Ultimately, Namorita and Nova
came to terms over the break-up.
. The new Warriors are trying to film a reality show, and find four villains on the FBI Most Wanted List, who they attack. Namorita was within a foot of Nitro
when he exploded a bus, killing 612 people.
Subsequently, she was listed as "deceased" on the website revealing the secret identities of the surviving members of the New Warriors, and Speedball is then confirmed as the only survivor of the blast.
Three undercover Atlanteans track down Nitro under orders from Namor to avenge the murder of a member of the Atlantean Royal Family. When the Invisible Woman
asks for help from Prince Namor, he tells her that the only reason he would help is due to Namorita's death, and he has already avenged that.
Namorita's remains, along with Dwayne's and Microbe
's, are later recovered by the New Warriors and Justice's Counter Initiative team, and given a proper burial. During Hercules
' journey to the underworld, Namorita was seen in Erebus
gambling for her resurrection.
Namorita was trained in Atlantean methods of hand-to-hand and weapons combat. She speaks English, Atlantean, and Lemurian. She sometimes wears Atlantean battle armor of unknown composition.
, Namorita was called Rita here and was the sister of Numenor (this reality's version of Namor) and lives in Bensaylum (this reality's version of Atlantis).

While having slow adjustment to her rebirth, Namorita was kidnapped by the Revengers, a facsimile of the Avengers originating from the Cancerverse, after determining that she was a quantum anomaly.Powers and abilities
Namorita is a genetically altered clone of her mother, a mutant member of the evolutionary offshoot of the human race called Homo Mermanus. Namorita's powers came from being a hybrid of Atlantean homo mermanus and mutant homo superior physiologies. As such, she has superhuman strength and durability, and all her physical attributes increased further while immersed in water. Namorita's physical attributes decreased the longer she spends time out of water; renewed contact with water immediately restored them to their peak. She had the ability to survive underwater for indefinite periods, and specially developed vision which gave her the ability to see clearly in the murky depths of the ocean. She had a limited empathic rapport with Namor the Sub-Mariner and like him and her mother she had ankle wings and with them the power of flight. Unlike her mother or Namor she had some additional powers that seems to be related to her emotional state triggering dormant Atlantean genes. She was able to secrete corrosive acid or paralyzing toxin from her skin and possessed some kind of octopoid camouflage. Namorita had the ability to change her skin color as camouflage (the effect was so convincing it seemed as though she could actually turn invisible).Namorita was trained in Atlantean methods of hand-to-hand and weapons combat. She speaks English, Atlantean, and Lemurian. She sometimes wears Atlantean battle armor of unknown composition.
