History Edit

Early life Edit

Sha'lain'a was a native of Shayeris, noted for her golden hair, and skin that was almost as golden. She fell in love with Calvin Durham, a henchman of Black Manta originally sent to infiltrate Atlantis. Calvin abandoned his mission and married Sha'lain'a. They raised a son, Kaldur'ahm.^[2]

2010 Edit

Sha'lain'a was pleased to see her son back, though she thought he looked thin. She also welcomed his friends, Miss Martian and Superboy.^[3]

Powers and abilities Edit

• Atlantean attributes: Atlanteans, although Human, have through scientific and sorcerous means^[3] developed several abilities which allow them to live comfortably under the sea:

• Breathe underwater: All Atlanteans are capable of surviving the aquatic atmosphere under the sea. Some accomplish this without the presence of visible gills.^[4][3]
• Temperature resilience: Resistant to low temperatures^[5] and the effects of freezing,^[6] although notably hindered by high temperatures.^[7]
• Durability: Dense flesh, although not invulnerable.^{[8] [3] [9]}
• Strength: Ranging from undetected levels to Super strength.^{[6] [3] [10]}
