Lady Dorma

Lady Dorma is Namor's beloved companion in Atlantis. We find her at Namor's side while he is gravely ill. When the court physician Vashti gives Namor medication that places him into a deep sleep, Dorma stays nearby, unwilling to leave him unattended.

Dorma later becomes the emotional motivation behind Namor's decision to return to Atlantis. Although Namor discovers that he has a human grandmother and learns about his surface-world heritage, he explains that he cannot remain away from Dorma.

Dorma greets Namor when he returns to Atlantis and tells him that Krang has already seized the throne. She offers to help him reclaim it, but Namor dismisses her assistance. Hurt and angry that Namor repeatedly rejects her love, Dorma alerts the guards and has him captured, hoping that seeing his kingdom lost will eventually make him turn toward her.

Despite betraying Namor, Dorma cannot remain away from him. She visits him in prison and initially refuses to help him escape, believing that Krang now has the people's support. Namor reminds her of the legend of Neptune's Trident, and she gives uses the Vibra-Key to free him. Krang later reveals that he deliberately allowed Dorma to send Namor on the quest because he intends to have Namor killed and then make Dorma his queen. Dorma remains emotionally committed to Namor despite recognizing that she may have helped send him toward his death.
