History

Merman was the self-appointed "king of the seas" and ruled his own underwater kingdom. He became embroiled in a battle with his rival, Aquarus, over another underwater settlement not yet under his control. Though Merman won the battle against Aquarus, he returned to find his own kingdom in ruins. Soon after, Merman joined Keldor and fought alongside him during the battle of the Hall of Wisdom, after which he was imprisoned behind the Mystic Wall in the Dark Hemisphere.

Merman was instrumental in Skeletor's plan to escape the dark hemisphere, searching for years for enough Coridite crystal in the Sea of Rakash to power a device to destroy the Mystic Wall. Merman joined Skeletor's assault on the Royal Palace of Eternia and kidnapped Man-At-Arms, having his enormous, flying fish-pet devour him whole. Man-At-Arms was rescued by Teela, and Merman next turned his attention back to the Coridite crystal, which Skeletor had forgotten about; Merman attempted to use the crystal for himself, but found its powerful difficult to control.

Later, Merman attempted to engage Snake Face in combat when the Snake Men returned and seized control of Snake Mountain, but was turned to stone before he could land a blow. His body fell to the floor and smashed into pieces, but he was restored to life by Skeletor, breathing a sigh of relief as his body reformed. Later, Merman claimed the body of Snake Face (himself turned to stone by this point) as a trophy for his lair.
