History
The people of the kingdom of Xebel are a breakaway civilization of Atlanteans who traditionally harbor animosity towards the main kingdom. Two of its princesses, Mera and Hila, were sent to kill Aquaman (Arthur Curry).
Origin
Some eons after the fall of Atlantis, Xebel distanced itself to form its own undersea community, one that developed a warlike xenophobia towards their neighboring kingdom and the surface world. Xebel warred with Atlantis for centuries until they were eventually beaten and sentenced to life imprisonment within Dimension Aqua, located within the Bermuda Triangle.[citation needed]
From then on, royalty within their hierarchy treated their long standing hatred of Atlanteans as the basis of their myths and the very reason of being of their race for generations to come. Millennia after their confinement, the king of Xebel sent one of his children out into the world in order to find and assassinate the future king, Orin of Atlantis. Instead, Mera fell in love with him, becoming his queen and bride as he took the throne.[citation needed]
With their initial plan having failed, the Xebelians enacted several more plans against the throne through proxies.[citation needed]

- Hydrokinesis: Few among the people of Xebel have the unique ability to bend and twist water into any shape or form they can think of. Many of whom normally require Waterbearers in order to better channel their liquid manipulation abilities.[2] In the case of Xebelian royalty, those whom merry into the royal family can acquire water shifting abilities of their own once after the current crowned head passes on.[3]
- Electrokinesis: A rarer still ability shared among only a few Xebelians, is to channel a high end electrical current through their bodies.[4] Made more so effective when they combine their hydrokinesis with with it.[5]
