Aquagirl
Aquagirl (also Aqua-Girl) is the codename used by several superheroes appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The first two versions of the character, debuting in 1959 and then 1963, were introduced as one-off characters and later versions were introduced as supporting characters of Aquaman and the female counterpart of Aqualad.
Tula is the third and definitive version of the character, created by Bob Haney and Nick Cardy and debuted in Aquaman vol. 1 #33 (May–June 1967). A orphaned adopted into one of the royal families of Atlantis, she eventually becomes a romantic interest of the first Aqualad, a notable ally of Aquaman, and served as a member of the Teen Titans until her death during Crisis on Infinite Earths. The fourth incarnation, Lorena Marquez, was introduced in Aquaman vol. 6 #16 (May 2004). A teenage girl of Latina descent, she acquires Atlantean-like powers after being exposed to a serum derived from Aquaman's DNA and eventually assumes the role of Aquagirl, working alongside Aquaman with her exceptionally keen detective abilities and later joins the Teen Titans.
Following the continuity reboot of The New 52 in 2011, the third version was reintroduced as Tula Marius, the half-sister of Ocean Master who assumes various high-ranking roles in the Atlantean government, having served as a commander of a covert black-ops faction, a regent for Aquaman's administration, and as an honor guard during Mera's reign as queen. While known as Aquagirl, the character herself doesn't use the codename.
Several incarnations of Aquagirl have appeared in media, including the Tula incarnation in the animated series Young Justice and 2013 animated film Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, although she is not identified as her codename in either. Original incarnations of the character also appear, such as Mareena, the future daughter of Aquaman and Mera, who appears in the DC Animated Universe.
