History
Orka was an Atlantean and grew to become one of the strongest (but relatively dim-witted) soldiers in Warlord Krang's army. Orka stayed with Krang when he attempted to gain the throne from Prince Namor, and was exiled with his leader. Soon, Orka was chosen to be the test subject of Dr. Dorcas, who wanted to imbibe a soldier with the power of a killer whale. (At this point, Orka needed to wear a belt which transferred the power of Dorcas' captive killer whales.) Namor defeated the rebels, and Orka was buried in an undersea avalanche.
Later, Orka managed to get free but was defeated by Namor again. The Brand Corporation (subsidiary of Roxxon Oil,) contacted Orka and augmented his abilities to not require a power-transferring machine. He was then sent on a mission that brought him in conflict with the Avengers, but was defeated by Thor.
Somehow, he managed to escape prison (he was seen in the Vault during the break-out called "Acts of Vengence,") and found his way to the Altantic, where he was among Attuma's henchmen when Attuma attacked the United States.
Later, Orka was among those villains recruited by the self- proclaimed Master of the World in his attempt to overthrow the United Nations, only to be captured by the new Heroes for Hire team. Presumably, Orka remains at large.
