Lemuria for all Atlantis, as it's a rival undersea city with an evil emperor, Naga (and later Llyron), who led the people to worship the Eldritch Abomination Set instead of Neptune. a b Gustines, George Gene (August 27, 2019). "The Sub-Mariner Turns 80. He's Still Super". The New York Times. ISSN 0362-4331 . Retrieved March 28, 2023. Heel–Face Revolving Door: When he was first introduced in 1939, he was written as a Well-Intentioned Extremist Villain Protagonist, someone who'd basically kill any human civilian because we're all responsible for the sorry state of the ocean. World War II drafted him onto the heroic side, as he started aiming his rage at the Axis powers. Since his Silver Age return he's mostly been one of the good guys, but can turn on the other good guys at the drop of a hat. Hot-Blooded: Namor is not famous for being calm and reserved. Some of this is thanks to a chemical imbalance. However, as Namora and Namorita, who are also vulnerable to that imbalance, show, quite a lot is just Namor being Namor.This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. ( January 2020) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Both Aquaman: Andromeda #1 and Sub-Mariner: The Depths are horror-themed comics, yet they approach the concept of horror in vastly different ways. In Aquaman's narrative, the deep sea, not Aquaman, is the monster. This narrative choice transforms the comic into an aquatic horror story about the ocean's menacing power to swallow its inhabitants whole. Unfortunately, Aquaman is not the face of fear in Aquaman: Andromeda #1; instead, the deep-sea takes this distinction.

Because of his unusual genetic heritage, Namor is unique among both ordinary humans and Atlanteans; he is sometimes referred to as "Marvel's first mutant" because, while the majority of his observed superhuman powers come from the fact that he is a hybrid of human and Atlantean DNA, his ability to fly cannot be explained by either side (Atlanteans are an offshoot of "baseline" humanity); however, in terms of in-continuity chronology, there were many mutants in existence before Namor. Namor possesses a fully amphibious physiology suited for extreme undersea pressures, superhuman strength, speed, agility, durability, flight, and longevity. Namor has the ability to survive underwater for indefinite periods, and specially developed vision which gives him the ability to see clearly in the murky depths of the ocean. The 12-issue miniseries Namor (June 2003–May 2004), credited to co-writers Bill Jemas (then Marvel's president) and Andi Watson, and penciled initially by Salvador Larroca and later by Pat Olliffe and others, explored Namor's youth, charting his teenage romance with a young American girl in the early 20th century. A six-issue miniseries, Sub-Mariner vol. 2 (Aug. 2007 – Jan. 2008), by co-writers Matt Cherniss and Peter Johnson and, primarily, artist Phil Briones, introduced Namor's heretofore undisclosed son, Kamar. Namor was featured in his own ongoing series, Namor: The First Mutant, in 2011. [35] The series was cancelled after less than a year into its publication. [36] Namor has also served alongside, or even as a member of, superhero teams – most notably the Defenders, [37] which included Doctor Strange, the Hulk, and the Silver Surfer. Other groups he was associated with included the Avengers; and both the World War II and modern-day versions of the Invaders. Marvel revived The Defenders, with Namor on the team, in December 2011. [38] The series was cancelled after 12 issues. He became one of the main characters, along with the other Illuminati members, in the third volume of New Avengers beginning in 2013. He appeared in the 2018 Namor: The Best Defense one-shot.

King Crab

I have to nip this damned superstition in the bud. If the expedition has any chance of being successful, I have to prove, once and for all... There's no such thing as Namor!. — Professor Stein Appearing in "Chapter One" Llyra – A Lemurian that usurped Karthon's rule of his kingdom and became Namor's enemy when he tried to restore his friend and ally. She would return to face him repeatedly, in time becoming high priestess of Set. King Crab was a member of King Namor's Defenders of the Deep, a team established to accommodate to his new policies regarding relationships between the ocean and the surface world. Namor prepares for war accompanied by his advisor Machan, who appears to be a blue-skinned Atlantean with the same abilities of flight and air-breathing that Namor does. It soon becomes clear that Machan only exists in Namor's mind, and is in fact the psychic entity based on Thomas Machan that Xavier implanted in his mind years before. [96] In addition to incarcerating the criminal Hydro-Man to siphon his hydrokinetic powers, Atlantean technicians have been fabricating a bomb to target human DNA. When Captain America tries to broker peace, he is violently beaten by Namor and told that next time there will be no mercy. [97]
