First Appearance:
Sub-Mariner I#23 (March, 1970)
Powers/Abilities: Orka
can lift over 80 tons on land and over 100 tons under water, though his
strength has been known to increase and decrease under various
conditions. Orka shares many skills with killer whales, such as
their strength, speed, and stamina. Orka can communicate with whales
through whistling in whale language, and can summon killer whales to
him, drawing strength from them to increase his own (Orka needed
technology to do this initially). Orka has a thick blubber hide
that is resistant to most types of injury, though its thickness varies
under various conditions. Orka can breathe both above land and
below water, though prolonged time on land decreases his
strength. Orka had been known to be mutated under various
sources, adjusting his powers to different levels. Orka has also
briefly employed a weak suit of armor.
Height: 11' (variable)
Weight: 732 lbs. (variable)
Eyes: Black
Hair: Black
History: (Sub-Mariner
I#23 (fb)) - Orka was an Atlantean loyal to the rebel Warlord
Krang. After Krang was exiled from the city, Orka stole an
Atlantean cruiser and found Krang, hoping to launch a new attack on
Atlantis. Krang, instead, planned on forming an alliance with
Attuma and so gathered riches from sunken galleons, when he came across
the undersea base of Doctor Dorcas. Dorcas subjected Orka to an
experiment in his Morphotron, transferring 'the strength and savage
instincts of a school of killer whales to a manlike creature.'
Orka found himself able to breathe oxygen and to still remain beneath
the water for hours at a time like a whale could. Orka was given
a costume with a belt that connected him to the machine that supplied
his powers. He spent hours training and learning to command a
'herd of specially treated whales.' Dorcas captured a small group
of Atlanteans, including Lady Dorma and Vashti.
(Sub-Mariner I#23) - Orka led a large contingent of
killer whales in an attack on Atlantis. Namor, the Sub-Mariner,
attacked, and the two traded blows until Orka buried Namor beneath a
fallen mountain. Orka returned to the base and was shocked when
Namor attacked. Namor punched Orka, then confronted Dorcas.
Orka prepared to attack again, but was told to wait by Krang, who
explained their villainous plans for the surface world to Namor.
Dorcas amplified Orka's powers through his machine, which drew on the
power of the surrounding whales and fed that power to Orka, increasing
his size and strength. Orka battled Namor until Namor grabbed
Krang and threatened to kill him unless Orka released the captive
Atlanteans. When Dorcas refused to release the Atlanteans and
called Orka an oaf, Orka grew furious and threw Dorcas over a
waterfall. Namor went to rescue Dorcas, then Krang instructed
Orka to rescue Dorcas, so Orka did. Orka then defeated
Namor by throwing him into electrical equipment. The Atlanteans
escaped, a control collar was placed on Namor, and Krang denounced
Dorcas as an ally. Krang then planned to lead an attack on
Atlantis.
(Sub-Mariner I#24) - Orka held Namor off when he
attacked Krang until Dorcas stopped Namor with a punishing
device. Orka was then instructed to lead his killer whales
against the escaping Atlanteans and to kill all but Dorma. The
whales cornered them in a cave and smashed into the rocks, killing all
the Atlanteans except Dorma and Vashti. Tiger Shark soon rescued
them by fighting off the whales. Orka led a fleet of killer
whales against Atlantis, at Krang's instruction, with Namor as a
hostage strapped to one of the whales. The Atlanteans fired on
the forces, seemingly killing Namor, and Orka focused on leading his
forces to destroying Atlantis. When Namor attacked Krang, then
Tiger Shark attacked Namor, and Orka took Tiger Shark's attack on Namor
as an attack on Krang so Orka attacked Tiger Shark. The two of
them traded blows until they were both swallowed up and buried in a
massive seaquake. With Orka gone, the killer whale army
dissipated.
(Sub-Mariner I#66) - When Virago attacked Atlantis,
her rampage freed Orka from his entombment after months of being
trapped. He formed a quick alliance with Virago since Krang was
nowhere around. The two of them planned to rule Atlantis
together, and Orka commanded a group of killer whales to attack the
city. Orka had the whales hit Namor, then he and Virago battled
Namor and Tamara Rahn while the whales and destroyed the city.
Though Namor knocked Orka aside, Orka had his whales surround the hero.
(Sub-Mariner I#67) - While Namor was escaping from
the whales, he accidentally released a toxic substance in the
water. Orka and Virago took over Atlantis only to have the
substance put both they and the Atlanteans into suspended animation.
(Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe II#9) -
Orka's physiology enabled him to retain mobility within months.
Hugh Jones contacted Orka with the Serpent Crown. The Brand
Corporation, a subsidiary of Roxxon Oil, increased Orka's powers, no
longer requiring him to have access to Dorcas's technology to increase
his strength.
(Avengers I#149 (fb)) - Orka was held in reserve by
Hugh Jones and Buzz Baxter (later Mad Dog) as a secret weapon.
(Avengers I#149) -
When the
Avengers attacked, Orka single-handedly knocked Beast, Captain America,
Hellcat, Iron Man, Scarlet Witch, and Vision unconcious. Soon
Thor and Moondragon attacked, and Orka withstood Thor's hammer-blow and
knocked out Moondragon as she psychically assaulted him. An
enraged Thor battled Orka, knocking him through several walls, hitting
him repeatedly, and summoning lightning against him before Orka was
finally defeated.
(Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe II#9) -
Orka was taken into custody, but soon escaped and returned to the sea.
(Avengers Annual I#18) - Allied with Attuma, Orka was
sent with Lord Arno and an Atlantean force (as Attuma was now in charge
of Atlantis, and the Atlanteans were reawakened) to take over an
American military base. When Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman,
Black Panther, and She-Hulk attacked, Orka was quickly felled by a
simultaneous blast from Black Panther's gun and a punch from She-Hulk.
(Avengers Spotlight I#26/2) - While being held in the
Vault, a maximum security prison, Orka (now back to his normal size)
took advantage of a prison break affected by others and attacked Iron
Man inside the prison. Orka got in one good punch before Iron Man
knocked him out with a double repulsor blast to the face.
(Fantastic Four I#336) - Effected by Dr. Doom's
emotion-charging machine, Orka attacked the Fantastic Four in
Washington, DC, alongside Armadillo, Owl, Man-Ape, Stilt-Man, Baron
Brimstone and Whirlwind. All were quickly defeated.
(Sensational She-Hulk#12) -
When Krang
started a movie studio and decided to make a flop movie about She-Hulk,
Orka agreed to participate in the movie shooting in order to get
revenge. He donned suit of armor and battled her, on film,
across the studio until She-Hulk knocked the armor off of him. He
then, with a killer whale, continued to fight She-Hulk until she
defeated him.
(Web of Spider-Man Annual I#5 (BTS)) - Attuma led a
large attack against the surface world and was betrayed by Lord Ghaur
and Llyra, who blew up the city of Atlantis. Attuma was captured
by the surface world and put on trial.
(Avengers I#322 (fb)) - Orka, at some point, rejoined
the Atlanteans and took a position as a senior officer in their
army. He, with Tyrak and Meranno the U-Man, commanded the small
remaining army while they waited for the Atlantean people who'd fled
during the city's bombing to return.
(Avengers I#319) - When a group of Avengers and
Soviet Super-Soldiers started doing battle over Atlantis, Orka and his
fellow officers Tyrak and Meranno took an army out to
investigate.
(Avengers I#320) - While the Atlanteans battled the
heroes, the Vision attacked Orka and tried to solidify his arm into
Orka's frame, but Orka's blubber was too thick. While Vostok held
Orka still in a submarine prison, Vision solidified his entire body
into Orka's frame and defeated Orka. After defeating the
Atlanteans, the heroes traveled to the Canadian coast on a mission.
(Avengers I#321) - Realizing that the heroes must
have been pursuing a weapon, Orka and Meranno launched a probe and
learned that the heroes were after a nuclear submarine that was now on
the Canadian coast. The Atlanteans decided to launch an attack on
the heroes, planning to cause the nuclear sub to explode and harm the
surface world.
(Avengers I#322) - The Atlanteans attacked the
Canadian coast, where the Avengers, People's Protectorate, and Alpha
Flight opposed them. Orka battled Perun both above and below the water
until Box knocked Orka out with an electric blast. The Atlanteans
were mostly defeated but continued battling until the nuke went off.
(Avengers I#323) - The Atlanteans, the heroes, and
several Canadian citizens found themselves inside the dimension in
Shaman's medicine pouch. The Atlanteans reluctantly formed an
alliance with the heroes and they all began battling to return to their
home dimension until the Combine attacked them.
(Avengers I#324) - The Atlanteans joined the heroes,
even being willing to sacrifice themselves at one point, against the
Combine until the Peace Corpse were able to stop the Combine. They
returned to their home dimension and the Atlanteans departed in peace,
realizing that Attuma was receiving a fair trial on the surface world.
(Marvel Graphic Novel: Avengers: Deathtrap: Vault
I#1) - During another Vault breakout, Orka, Griffin, and Bullet
attempted escape through a vent that led into the woods, but Captain
America and Doctor Pym arrived to stop them. Pym enlarged a heat
ray gun that quickly defeated Orka.
(New Warriors I#36) - Orka was seen in the Vault.
(Namor I#43 (fb)) -
Orka was taken
and 'revived' (perhaps this is referring to his powers, though it is
unknown) by a robot believing itself to be Dr. Dorcas. Orka's
size and strength were increased, though Orka lost much of his smarts.
(Namor I#42) - After the Dorcas robot kidnapped Diane
Arliss-Newell, Namor and Stingray came to rescue her. After a
brief battle, Dorcas bid Orka to attack the heroes.
(Namor I#43) - Orka battled Namor for a time and
accidentally destroyed part of the base. Orka was winning until
Namor was hit by one of Stingray's blasts, Stingray having given up
when the Dorcas Robot threatened to kill Diane, then Stingray
fled. Orka prepared to kill Namor, but was instructed to put him
in a new Morphotron instead so that Namor could be used to mutate
Diane. Orka grew restless while the machine was working, but the
robot promised to let Orka raze Atlantis soon. When Stingray
attacked anew, Orka was instructed to kill him, but he found the
Stingray armor empty. Orka moved in to kill both Stingray and
Namor, but Namor escaped the machine and toppled Orka over.
Orka's unconscious bulk crushed the Dorcas Robot beyond repair.
(Thunderbolts Annual 1997 (fb)) - Back in the Vault
(and back to his regular size and appearance), Orka attempted to escape
the Vault with several other criminals when the opportunity presented
itself. The villains were attacked by the newly formed
Thunderbolts, and Orka was quickly felled by Atlas.
(Heroes for Hire I#4) - Orka joined forces with
Killer Shrike, Shockwave, and Whiplash, and the four of them tried to
extort money from the United States government by capturing the
Intrepid. Clued in by Misty Knight, the Heroes for Hire attacked
and Orka traded blows with Luke Cage. After a blast from the
Black Knight weakened him, Orka was punched out by Cage and returned to
prison.
(New Warriors II#0) - Orka battled with Namorita for
an unknown reason and was felled from a blast by Nova.
(Defenders II#7) - With Attuma again in control of
Atlantis, he formed a team called Deep Six to protect the city from the
attacking Defenders. Orka, with Nagala, Tiger Shark, Sea Urchin,
Attuma, and Piranha stood ready when the heroes attacked and Orka took
a blow from the Hulk. Orka, surrounded by killer whales to draw
strength from, battled the Hulk back. The battle didn't last
long, however, as the heroes were pulled away by the curse that
afflicted them.
(Defenders II#11) - When the Defenders attacked
again, Orka again battled the Hulk. The Hulk got continually
madder as his anger increased, so Orka kept calling on more whales to
make him stronger as well. Soon, the other Defenders had defeated
Deep Six and retaken Atlantis. While they celebrated, Hulk and
Orka kept battling outside the city walls. The outcome of this
battle is unknown.
(JLA/Avengers I#4) - Orka joined several villains in
battling the Avengers and the JLA as an ally to Krona.
(Daughters of the Dragon#2) - Orka showed up at the office of
Misty Knight & Colleen Wing. He encountered their new personal assistant, Otis
Johnson, who was not intimidated by him in the least.
(Daughters of the Dragon#3) - Becoming
annoyed as Otis continued to refuse to allow him to meet with Misty & Colleen
(who were not present), Orka began beating Otis savagely. Otis was unharmed due
to the mutation that rendered him invulnerable and unable to feel pain. Calming
down, Orka explained that he needed to bail Stilt-Man out. Orka also admitted he
had rage issues, exacerbated by being out of the ocean for too long (much like
Namor), and Otis brought him some bottled water. Orka waited for Colleen & Misty
to return, refusing to help clean up the place or to discuss Atlantis or Namor.
They returned at 1 AM and told Orka to come back the next day. As he headed out
to grab a salt water with Otis, he answered a few questions on Celia Ricadonna
in exchange for anonymity and a discount on future service. Otis told him they'd
go to Bar D'o, where even the giant Orka wouldn't stand out. Orka correctly
suspected that Bar D'o was a drag bar.
(Daughters of the Dragon#5 (fb) - BTS) - Orka
had one too many apple martinis at Bar D'o, and he trashed the place.
(Daughters of the Dragon#5 (fb) - BTS) - Orka
made arrangements and paid Stilt-Man's bail.
(Daughters of the Dragon#5) - Orka agreed to
take responsibility if Stilt-Man fled, and he refused to talk about his night
out on the town.
(Heroes for Hire II#1 (fb) - BTS) - Misty Knight and
Colleen Wing formed a group of government operatives to fight against
runaway super-villains, after the passing of the Super-Human
Registration Act. Orka was recruited, despite his criminal record.
(Heroes for Hire II#1) - Orka, with fellow operatives
Paladin and Shang-Chi, as the second wave of a Heroes for Hire mission,
entered Vienna's headquarters and battled Bloodshed, Ghost-Maker,
Grindhouse, Goldbug, Shockwave, Equinox, and Kogar, after Misty,
Colleen, Humbug, Tarantula, and Black Cat were defeated. Orka learned
that Vienna was a Heroes for Hire contact.
(Heroes for Hire II#5) - Orka, with Shang-Chi, Misty,
Colleen, Black Cat, and Humbug, went on a mission to fight against
Ricadonna and her operatives, Kingsize, Ferocia, Flame, and Blue
Streak. The group set off the alarms unintentionally and Orka took down
a group of Night Flier robots before trading blows with Kingsize and
being hit by fire from Flame, who cracked fish jokes about Orka. As he
arose, he was hit by Ricadonna's power blast. Later, he caught a thrown
Tarantula, who'd joined the team on their mission. When some of the
villains tried to escape in a tunnel, Orka ripped up the ground and
pursued them. The team pulled the villains outside with them before the
building exploded. With the team and Otis, Orka later attended the
funeral of Tarantula's father. He offered everyone a flask, thinking it
was customary for human funerals.
(Heroes for Hire II#6) - The Heroes for Hire took a
case from a young man, Billy, who informed them that
the Head-Men had stolen his Doom-bot. Orka, fiercely
defensive of the child, saw Humbug go to aid Billy
while he joined Otis, Colleen, Misty, Shang, and
Tarantula in being hired by Louis "Shadows" Kravitz in investigating diamond thieves.
(Heroes for Hire II#7) - When summoned by Misty, Orka
rushed to a boat the team was on and took off a giant
bomb meant to destroy the Statue of Liberty. He threw
the bomb into an underwater ravine, where it exploded.
When Humbug requested help, in a message delivered by
spiders, Orka and Shang moved to aid him, and found
him captured by the Headmen, with his head cut off and
attached to a life support system. Orka quickly plowed
through the Headmen's ranks, but their ally Doombot
fired a lethal blast that left a gaping hole in Orka's
chest.
(Heroes for Hire II#8) - Shang-Chi and Otis witnessed
Orka's passing. His last words were of love for Misty
Knight.
(Incredible Hercules#129) - Residing in Hades, Orka served in Pluto's Jury for Zeus' trial.
(Incredible Hercules#130) - Hercules attacked the Jury, but they overpowered him. Orka was later present at Zeus' trial.
SECRET WARS III HAPPENED
(Amazing Spider-Man IV#13) - Alive again, Orka attacked a Roxxon ship
and was defeated and captured by Regent, who placed him in the Cellar
and they took his powers briefly.
(Avengers VIII#9) - Namor recruited Orka to join his new super-team, the Defenders of the Deep, including Andromeda, Bloodtide, Echidna, King Crab, Manowar, Namor, Tiger Shark, and several mutated Piranhas.
(Avengers VIII#10) - The Defenders of the Deep and War-Sharks saw Namor raise Hydropolis to the surface, then attacked the humans within, declaring that all on the surface world were no longer allowed under the ocean. The Avengers (Black Panther/T'Challa, Captain America/Steve Rogers, Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers, Ghost Rider/Robbie Reyes, Hulk/Jennifer Walters, Iron Man/Tony Stark, Thor/Odinson) attacked, and Orka, wielding an anchor, sparred with Hulk, who gave off a Gamma poison. Soon the Winter Guard (Chernobog, Crimson Dynamo/Dmitri Bukharin, Darkstar/Laynia Petrovna, Perun, Ursa Major, Vanguard/Nikolai Krylenko, Vostok) intervened, and fights broke out among all three teams. In the chaos, Namor killed a few of the Piranhas for hunting humans, then he ordered the withdrawal of the Defenders of the Deep.
(Avengers VIII#11 (fb) ) - Orka was sent to attack a Roxxon platform outside Alaska, but the Squadron Supreme of America responded and Hyperion defeated Orka.
(Free Comic Book Day 2019: Avengers#1/1) - Namor led the Defenders of the Deep (Manowar, Orka, Bloodtide) in an attack on a Roxxon station, resulting in a small oil spill. Namor ordered Manowar to get revenge for the impacted fish. Bloodtide used magic to contain the spill, and Orka to close the spill. Just then, the Squadron Supreme of America attacked, seeking to protect Roxxon.
(Incoming#1) - The Defenders of the Deep (Bloodtide, Echidna, Manowar, Orka, Tiger Shark) approached the Avengers at Avengers Mountain, where they delivered the message that they expected the Avengers to apologize to every fish in the ocean.
