Disclose Notes: Saga of the Sub-Mariner #2 reaffirms that Namor is 15 when he meets Namora. However, a flashback cameo in The Order #6 (2002) states that he is 14.

Namora's first appearance was in Marvel Mystery Comics #82. They were depicted as adults, and meeting for the first time. Her name was Aquaria Nautica Neptunia, changing it to Namora (Avenging Daughter) after her father's murder. There was no mention of them being cousins.
Here, she is introduced to Namor, by Fen, as Namora.
