History

Princess Fen is the daughter of the Atlantean Emperor, Thakorr. In 1920, American seaman Leonard McKenzie embarked on an expedition to Antarctica searching for the Lemurian city (rumored to house the mythical Helmet of Power). However, McKenzie distrusted the uses to which the Helmet would be used and caused an avalanche to bury the city. Making his way to safety, McKenzie set explosive charges to break up ice floes in the ship's path, unaware that Atlantis lay beneath the waters. The city sustained heavy damage.

Thakorr sent his adventurous daughter to investigate the cause of the explosions.
Seeing no need for a scouting party, Fen went up alone, taking with her a potion enabling her to breathe air for up to 5 hours. She soon discovered the Oracle, and climbed aboard, startling McKenzie's crew. The blue-skinned princess wound up staying aboard the ship for several weeks. She quickly picked-up their language and found herself attracted to McKenzie. The two quicly fell in love and were married aboard the ship.

Fearing his daughter had been kidnapped or killed, Thakorr sent an Atlantean war party to search for her. Thinking her a captive, the Atlanteans slaughtered McKenzie's crew. Believing McKenzie to be dead, Fen returned with the War party to Atlantis. Nine months later, Namor McKenzie was born.

Fen raised her son as a prince in the royal palace of Atlantis. During his childhood and teen years, Fen often took Namor exploring the various areas of their undersea kingdom and had several adventures.
