Powers/Abilities: Burka had the typical abilities of an Atlantean, including the ability to survive indefinately underwater. He could extract oxygen from water (but could not breathe outside of water), withstand the pressures of the ocean, and see underwater without problem. He also had enhanced human strength.

History: (Avengers I#272) - After Attuma captured Namor's lover Marrina, Burka reported to Attuma that scouts had sighted two small forces moving on their defenses. Attuma ordered his legions to surround the invading Avengers, who quickly overtook the small forces of Attuma. When Attuma asked Burka how the slaughter was going, Burka reported that he did not know, as he had lost contact with the legions. The Avengers, with Alpha Flight, soon made their way to Attuma and while Namor battled Attuma, Northstar freed Marrina.
