In the world of The Nail, Mera is the Queen of Atlantis and Aquaman's wife. She is introduced in issue number 2 when she, along with her husband and professor Vulko investigate the sudden dissapearance of all sealife in the Cedros Trench, California.
The trio discovers the evil Ocean Master - Mera's brother in law - and his lackey the villainess Marine Marauder. Immediately, the heroes assume that they are responsible for the strange happening; but after a brief fight, they realize the pair was just trying to fight the true menace: an enormous alien ship sent by the then unknown enemy the kryptonian Eradicator. Aquaman asks Mera to attack the ship, which she successfully does with her other-dimensional hard-water powers, and once inside the ship they find all the sealife held prisioner by the enemy. Unfortunately, Aquaman, Mera, Vulko, Ocean Master, and the Marine Marauder are attacked and captured by the Eradicator's forces.
Mera's appearance was more of a brief cameo, although she is also seen at the end along all the other super heroes welcoming Superman to their ranks; however, in the small scene we get to appreciate her incredible power levels and beauty.
...so it was a kingdom was lost, all for the want of a nail.
