Atlanna

Atlanna is an Atlantean queen and the mother of Arthur Curry (Aquaman), connecting the surface world and the underwater kingdom of Atlantis through her royal lineage and her son's half-human heritage.

Atlanna made her debut in the Bronze Age pages of DC Special Series #19 (1979), brought to life by the legendary creative team of Otto Binder and Al Plastino — and from that first appearance, she became woven into the mythology of DC's undersea world. Across four decades, she has graced the pages of Aquaman and beyond, sharing those adventures with titans like Aquaman himself, Arthur Curry, and even the Dark Knight, Bruce Wayne. Her staying power across roughly forty years speaks to just how essential she is to the aquatic corner of the DC Universe, a figure whose legacy runs as deep as the ocean itself.
