Nekra (Nekra Sinclair) is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Steve Gerber and Ross Andru for the 1973 comic book Shanna the She-Devil. She is a mutant whose mutation was caused by an atomic explosion at the Los Alamos Proving Grounds. She shares an origin with the mutant supervillain Mandrill, with whom she has a sibling-like bond. Nekra initially discovered her own superhuman durability while defending herself against the attack of a lynch mob.
