Aquagirl

Aquagirl (also Aqua-Girl) is the codename used by several superheroes appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. While there were two earlier versions of the characters, introduced as one-off characters, the more definitive versions of the character are introduced as both major supporting characters of Aquaman and the female counterpart of Aqualad. The most well-known and definitive versions of the character is Tula, who first appeared in Aquaman vol. 1 #33 (May–June 1967), created by Bob Haney and Nick Cardy. Originally, the character is a orphan adopted into one of the royal familities in Atlantis and a romantic interest to Aqualad. While allied with Aquaman, the character also served as a member of the Teen Titans until her death during Crisis on Infinite Earths. The character would be succeeded by another in the role but following the continuity reboot of the New 52 in 2011, the character is re-introduced as Tula Marius, the half-sister of Ocean Master through their shared father (Orvax Marius) who has assumed 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 regarded as Aquagirl, the character herself doesn't use the codename. The fourth known and other notable incarnation is 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. 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.
