History
Early History
During a dark age, the kingdom of Atlantis faced the threat of the Old Atlanteans who were considered the scourge of the oceans in that era. Their number included three different species such as the predatory Chordai, the pillaging Mala and the parasitical Uhari. It was known that these races sought to destroy their enemies, those that they could not destroy they sought to possess and those that they could not possess; they sought to consume. Millennia ago, the Atlanteans fought these ancient foes in a battle underneath the great expanse that used to be their dominion. During the struggle, the Old Atlanteans were driven to near extinction and hunted down with their history being stricken from records. The only piece of knowledge that existed on them was passed down the royal line; from King to King which consisted of a visual record of the three races that made up the Old Atlanteans. As such, despite the passage of millennia, the Atlanteans were the bitterist of enemies of the Old Atlanteans. (Fantastic Four v1 #586)
New Atlantis
Among the subparts of New Atlantis was a region known as Little Lemuria that was home to a number of Lemurians. (Namor: The First Mutant v1 #7)
Overview
One source of entertainment was a game called Whips that involved a ball with instruments used in order to win. It held a long history as a sport to the lower castes of Atlanteans. (Namor: The First Mutant v1 #7)
Notes
- Atlantis is seen also in the Marvel Ultimates universe, specifically in Ultimate Fantastic Four #24 & #25 where its revealed that Mary Storm was part of a secret project known as the Atlantis Project to find the lost city which was a goal that took 15 years to accomplish. Her obsession and being hired by a major corporation meant that she seemingly abandoned her family leading to Franklin Storm telling his their two children that she died. When the Susan and Johnny Storm grew up, she returned to their lives and asked for their help in uncovering the city. There, they found the sarcophagus of "King" Namor who was actually an Atlantean criminal imprisoned 9,000 years ago. When speculating the fate of Atlantis, he stated that there was a war between Atlantis and Lemuria for centuries which led him to conclude that the war ignited leading to the destruction of his civilization. He further stated that Atlantean civilization was millions of years more evolved than Humans and it was an easy feat to learn English within an hour.
