Meranno (Earth-7045)


 * Not to be confused with the U-Men.

Meranno was an Atlantean scientist who grew disillusioned with Thakorr's isolationist policies. Viewing him as a weak leader, Meranno defected to Nazi Germany, supplying Atlantean technology to the Hydra military splinter group in the process. He would eventually come to battle Thakorr's grandson, Namor, and his fellow Invaders as the secret Nazi agent U-Man. The tensions between the two would continue to the modern day, Meranno deciding that if the most powerful nation on Earth couldn't make the Atlantis he desired, he would do it himself. Today, he is recognized as Namor's oldest enemy for the throne for Atlantis.
