Biography
In 1940, Dean was tasked by the Chief of the NYPD with appealing to Namor the Sub-Mariner's attraction to human women in an attempt to stop his recent terrorizing of human society. To that end, she feigned unconsciousness in the waters off of New York, baiting Namor into "saving" her. She attempted to apprehend him, but was easily overpowered. She was however soon able to convince him to fight for the United States in World War II, swaying him into recruiting his Atlantean brethren.[1]
