Here it is guys! The start of Rogue Wave Pirates in the official concept profiles; starting with the Captain of the superhero pirates herself, Merauder!!

ORIGIN

Marina Nazorio was born with many incredible talents. She was stronger and faster than most of the other girls and excelled in sports. Particularly she was talented at swimming, and in high school she shattered national records and dominated competitions. Unfortunately her success went to her head, and she began to think of herself as something of a celebrity. She would often go to parties with college kids and drink heavily in order to be the center of attention. One night, after a particularly wild party, Marina wrecked her father's car, and as a result of this her father demanded she go to military school.

Marina went off to the Naval Academy, and despite initially having some trouble humbling herself she eventually became an ideal sailor. she would go on to work her way up to being the junior officer on the bridge of a destroyer. During this time, an admiral boarded the ship to command a voyage across the Atlantic ocean. Nobody was quite sure what the admiral was doing on the ship, or what the purpose of the voyage was, but they obeyed orders and set sail. during the voyage, Marina came to realize that the admiral was abusing some of the sailors and reported it via radio, but rather than taking action against the admiral the navy command structure decided to protect him, and instead informed him that Marina had reported him. The admiral attempted to have Marina killed for this, but she was saved by a sudden attack from Korg the Kraken, a gigantic creature of incredible power which was who the navy had been secretly tracking. The destroyer was itself destroyed, and most of the crew drowned or were killed by Korg.

Marina, however, was spared. As it turned out, her incredible swimming talents were no accident. Korg was not only a powerful monster, he was also the ruler of Atlantis, and he saw within her the genetics of an ancient Atlantean warrior race. somewhere back in her family line one of these ancient Atlantean warriors had mated with a human, and their genes had somewhat resurfaced with Marina. Korg took her to an Atlantean outpost to enhance her Atlantean genes and turn her into a weapon. The procedure nearly succeeded, but Marina was rescued when Centroid attacked the outpost and saved her. Escaping from the Atlanteans, the two found a ghost ship called the Devil Daughter and decided to live there. Dismayed by the corruption she had witnessed in the navy, Marina decided that she could do more good for the world working against the system than with it, and became a pirate. She took the name Merauder, and along with Centroid she began building a crew for adventures on the high seas. She now protects the world and plunders the corrupt as the captain of the Rogue Wave Pirates!
