Notes

• This version of the character is exclusive to the continuity of the DC Extended Universe and is an adaptation of Nereus. The original character was created by Geoff Johns and Paul Pelletier and first appeared in Aquaman (Volume 7) #19.
• Nereus is portrayed by Dolph Lundgren.
• It is stated in Zack Snyder's Justice League that Mera's parents died in a war; assuming this information indeed refers to Nereus, it is non-canonical due to being contradicted by the character's appearance in Aquaman. Although it's possible Nereus is her adoptive father.
