Fictional character biography

Marella was queen of Atlantis and at some point of time was captured and kept as a prisoner of the World Army, and was held in stasis in the Black Basement of the Arkham Command Center. Marella dislikes being called "Aquawoman", even though Jimmy Olsen would constantly call her that. She was freed by Batman and recruited in the war against the followers of Darkseid. She assisted Batman and the other heroes in locating the Kryptonian Val-Zod before returning to Atlantis but vowed to help when called.
