Orka is a fictional character that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appears in ''Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner'' #23 (March 1970) and was created by writer Roy Thomas and Marie Severin. ==Publication history== Orka was originally an Atlantean soldier in the army of Warlord Krang, and aids the renegade Krang when he attempts to usurp the Atlantean throne from Namor. When this attempt fails, Orka goes into exile from Atlantis with Krang. Orka is then chosen to be the test subject of Dr. Dorcas, the marine scientist who created Tiger Shark, one of Namor's arch foes. Courtesy of a belt with a psionic amplifier, Orka is given the power of a killer whale, and aids Krang once more against Namor.〔''Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner'' #23 (Mar. 1970)〕 The character skirmishes with fellow creation Tiger Shark, and the pair cause an undersea avalanche that buries them for several months.〔''Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner'' #24 (Apr. 1970)〕 Orka eventually freed himself and allies with the other-dimensional Virago, and after battling Namor twice is defeated.〔''Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner'' #66 - 67 (Oct. - Nov. 1973)〕 The Brand Corporation (a subsidiary of Roxxon Energy Corporation) summon Orka with the aid of the Serpent Crown, and in exchange for his aid is augmented: the character's size is increased to tall and his natural abilities are increased, eliminating the need for the psionic belt.
