Nina Mazursky was born in a hospital in Star City but with many irregularities, the main problem being born with her lungs mostly outside of her body. Dr. Mazursky tried to treat her with an infusion with elements of aquatic animals but it triggered a mutation and Nina was transformed into an amphibious form and began to asphyxiate. Dr. Mazursky realized she could only breathe underwater. After years of home schooling, he enrolled her at Emberton Prep but she was bullied constantly. She left a letter to her father, telling him she loved him but didn't want to be a burden anymore, and ran away from home. For the next three years, she lived in the sewers and various water supply stations. Reports of a "sea creature" persisted in the news. A local photographer snapped pictures of her while he was looking for night birds and passed them along to the Star City News. Some called it proof but others thought it was an elaborate hoax.
Star City Metropolitan brought in animal control experts from Metropolis and Bludhaven to help track down and capture her. She was soon captured using a fishing net. Police officers held the crowd back but Dr. Mazursky broke through, shoved an officer, and went up to her, telling her she was the greatest gift to him. He kept ignoring the officers and was shot in the back. He died in front of her. She was placed in a tank of water and driven away.
