CHAMPIONS COMICS #2 (1940) launched a series entitled NEPTINA, about the titular queen of an undersea civilization, oriented upon conquering the world-- sort of a "SHE of the sea." The first four episodes concentrated on two land-humans, a male and a female, trying to win free of Neptina's domain. Issue #6, though, she used scientific techniques to give herself the capacity to breathe air and assumed a human appearance to study modern surface culture. Some hoods notice that she's carrying pearls for money and they capture and rob her, after which they try to drown her. Big mistake.
