According to the story in the Marvel comics, Attuma is the leader of the Skarka tribe, which is made up of several large tribes scattered across the seas of Earth, and one of them is the Skarka tribe where Attuma was born.

But of the many tribes, the Skarka tribe is the most notorious and barbaric, long banished from the kingdom of Atlantis. In Fantastic Four #33, it was revealed that Attuma was born as a common Atlantean.

Ever since he was a child, it was obvious that he was taller than the other members of the Skarka tribe, until one day he happened to hear a prophecy that said that one day there would be a conqueror from the Skarka tribe who would become the new ruler of Atlantis.

Of course Attuma believed the prophecy and thought himself the conqueror. Attuma, who had become the leader of Skarka, then launched an attack on Atlantis, whereupon he became involved with Namor, who had become king.

In the comic Prince Namor the Sub-Mariner #4, Attuma managed to become the leader of Atlantis. This happened because the High Priest Shakkoth started a civil war while Namor was active as a member of the Avengers. But Namor and the Avengers managed to defeat Attuma.
