Who is namor

Yellowjackets Tara Bennett 1. PlayStation 5 Matt Purslow Pokemon: Brilliant Diamond Logan Plant New World - Final Review 15h ago - Grind your life away. New World Gabriel Moss Thor: Love and Thunder Rebekah Valentine A newly resurrected Jean Grey came to Namor looking for nations to recognize her mutant nation at a U.

An abandoned ruin near the Atlantean capital subsequently became the base of operations for Jean's team as they worked to overcome Cassandra Nova 's Sentinites. Under Nova's direct influence, Poland passed a law to detain all mutants. Under Jean's direction, Namor arrived upon one of Poland's beaches to rescue dozens of mutants and their families, with an ultimatum to a Polish general that air and sea travel over the Baltic Sea would become unsafe for Poles otherwise. Namor worked to save his people, only to be restrained from doing so by Abomination.

The X-Men arrived to rescue the Atlanteans and cure Abomination. An illegal Roxxon whaling ship was attacked by Namor and a cadre of Atlantean warriors. While Namor continued to destroy their submersibles, the warriors were defeated and killed by the heavily-armed Roxxon crew.

Namor subsequently captured the ship with a Kraken-sized giant squid. The newly reformed Avengers descended below the depths to advise Namor on what to do with his Roxxon prisoners. In the obligatory demonstration of might before words, they found Namor to be immune to all of their attacks. The Avengers also saw how Atlantis had been devastated by the Final Host. Namor agreed to hand over his captives to Steve Rogers.

In the days that followed, a group of homeless, starving Atlantean children tried to escape by emerging from the ocean, only to suffocate in the atmosphere while nearby humans did nothing.

Namor subsequently declared war on the surface world and had the Roxxon prisoners executed remotely through hydrokinesis.

Namor's first act of war was to forcibly evict those he considered to be trespassers within his domain, starting with Hydropolis. While his Defenders of the Deep terrorized the scientists of Hydropolis, the Avengers returned to talk Namor down again. While parleying, Namor saw his giant piranhas were about to kill some of the civilians. Seeing them ignoring Namor's commands to cease, the Avengers stepped in, beginning a brawl between the two teams.

Soon, a newly reformed Russian super-team joined the fight against Namor. In the ensuing chaos, Namor was able to move to execute his unruly giant piranhas, and subsequently retreated. Namor's next step was to gather further allies in his surface war. He, therefore, chased legends of a long-lost sub-species of Homo mermanus , the Vodani.

After a week of travel through dark, crushing depths of the deepest ocean tunnels, he finally discovered the Vodani, who overpowered him. Namor's pleas for an alliance were rejected as foolish by the Okun , King of the Vodani. Okun's daughter Kataw thought more of Namor's warnings and continued to plead Namor's case to her father. Thus, Okun set Namor an improbable task to prove his worth: defeating a powerful monstrous octopus.

Kataw, ignorant of the existence of surface dwellers, accompanied Namor on his task to learn more. Namor could not defeat the creature alone, but with Kataw's ability to channel bio-electricity they defeated the octopus. Unfortunately, Okun had sent Namor on this mission to be rid of him, and attacked him to succeed where the beast failed.

Namor, enraged, grabbed Okun and took them both above the surface of the ocean, only to find that the path he had travelled to Vodan had taken him via a portal to a water-world with no atmosphere. Okun succumbed to the vacuum first, but Namor was too weak to return to the ocean by that point.

As he drifted towards his death, he was unexpectedly rescued by the Silver Surfer's Surfboard. Vodan was swept into the planet-sized train of destruction directed by the Conductor, but events soon conspired to eject the planet to face an icy doom outside of a star's influence. Namor, now riding the Silver Surfer in lieu of the board, pleaded with him to save Vodan. Incensed by Namor's offer to Kataw to channel some of his life energy to provide the Silver Surfer with enough power to teleport their planet to a safe place, Kataw instead sacrificed her own life without either being able to stop her.

Namor later admitted to the Surfer that he intended to sacrifice part of his life to undermine Kataw's rule and forge the very alliance he had first come to Vodan for, but did not understand the Vodani culture or expect her to sacrifice herself. Namor's fledgling war upon the surface continued to cause him to be haunted in his dreams by his part in the events of World War II.

He took his adviser Thomas Machan with him to reconquer another of his lost tribes, the Sea Blades. To defeat them and gain their loyalty, he once again appeared to command the sea to move to his will, parting the water to leave the Sea Blades to suffocate, until their leader Karris acknowledged him as king.

Meanwhile, Machan, despite appearing as a normal Atlantean, appeared to be able to breathe air and fly as Namor did. As Karris submitted, he also asked how Namor was able to do so, but Namor was keen to make it appear as if it was solely in his power to control the water.

It was soon revealed that Machan was not visible to others, and shared the name and appearance of a soldier that died in Namor's arms on a beach during World War II.

Namor then returned to Atlantis with the Sea Blades. He later released Captain America after he was captured so that they could discuss matters but ended up brutally attacking Steve with his own shield when Steve referred to him as a friend. He then displayed that he had stolen Hydro Man 's powers and ordered the Captain to leave and to tell all the other heroes that the seas were now sacrosanct.

Machan privately suggested that he kill the Peterson family so that they would no longer be liabilities. Namor's advisors informed him that his missiles were almost complete and only lacked a single component, and Machan once again suggested that the Peterson family be dealt with.

Randall berated Namor for his actions, but the stress of the situation caused his heart to give out, and Namor flew away in tears. He would next be seen after having agents within the American navel base instigate a missile attack where-in he would initiate retaliatory strikes in response, after having dispatched the original Human Torch with his trident.

Having successfully launched a counter assault from an offshore site to bombard the sleepy town turned into a battlefield which they've occupied.

As people steadily transformed into water-breathers under the effects of the missile strikes chemical payload release, the Submariner would make contact with Roman Peterson after the marine base has been flooded and all personal not effected by the transformative compound had been flooded. They would meet up with Nita and Captain America just as the latter had gotten her into the water as she was transforming.

In-spite of everything that has happened Namor would seek to reach out and make contact with a fellow war veteran; the Winter Soldier.

All while under pressure from the Machan entity whom still coaxed his king to take on the hard choices in effort to save the world from itself. Finding comfort in the arrival of Roman whom finds great relish in becoming Atlantean yet laments that his mother isn't with them. The sea king finds himself dismayed at the sight of Russian converts entering Atlantis as he had not sanctioned any drone delivery system to implement such an operation.

Namor becomes more and more disenchanted with Machan as the psyche apparition continues to work around his wishes without consent. But the ghostly advisor manages to curry favor with his mindscape guide by calling in armed forces to hand their liege the Serpent Crown; supposedly in order to give greater protection of Mr.

McKenzie's brittle mind. He would later meet up with James Barnes in Saujon, France in order to reminisce about old times. In truth however Namor wished to recall the number of time when the trauma like psyche specter had secretly been influencing his actions since the time he'd bought the surface world company Oracle Inc. In order to harness his the genetic template with which they could synthesize the transmogrifying Genus Formula to enact a grand master plan of putting the world under Atlantis's thumb.

That the ghost of the past would explain how he'd manipulated events from behind the scenes so Atlanteans turned human could infiltrate world governments on their behalf by undergoing tests to suss out any ill effects the compound will have upon them. All so that he could implement his ideal means of saving the world, Bucky was outraged to hear this as it wasn't any different than the methods used by the genocidal madmen whom they fought against back in WWII.

During a heated argument between the former heroes, the Machan effigy would push Namor to kill Bucky so that he doesn't jeopardize the plan that He'd come up with without his core persona's consent. But Namor instead reacted in a violent outburst while arguing with his own dementia as it cuffed him about being the best part of himself which the King made to act on his underlying desires.

Unbeknownst to them however, Namor plays his own final hand in revealing his secret weapon which Machan had secured for him to better strengthen his ailing mental health. Before taking off to parts unknown the King of Atlantis would impart the final details of his ultimate scheme; all while citing his disappointment with Bucky's seeming shortsightedness.

The victim of said tongue-lashing conveying his fear of such a plants execution enough to insight immediate reconnoitering with his fellow Invaders. While sending Roman out to reconvene with Atlantis, Namor would have another bout with Machan regarding striking out at Roxxon corp using Genus altered Atlanteans in their latest resource exploitation campaign. The escapade is soon preempted by the intervention of the Invaders.

Namor would buy time to cover his escape from the scuttled incursion by taking Jim Hammond's sidekick Toro hostage while monologuing that while his actions have broken the bond of trust he had with the Invaders, it would still benefit the whole of the world in the long run before Knocking Toro out and fleeing. Finally having become fed up with the Machan entity, Namor's war ghost confronted him about how Xavier created the mental councilor to help him cope with his trauma but boasted that it had instead taken on a life of its own now.

Once having assigned Roman Peterson to meet with them after the Roxxon oil rig raid, Machan leaps from Namor's mind and into the impressionable protege the psychic manifest coaxed his former king into raising to detesting the surface.

All so the manifest of Namor's conniving and ruthlessness could usurp their wards body to take on a life of its own. Furious at the way his own mania had played him for a fool, Namor quickly rushes back towards Atlantis to confront his now escaped mental parasite.

Only to be waylayed by an invading force whom'd found a way around the protective barrier surrounding his domain. After finding out the soldiers whom he'd dispatched were of Roxon's employ, he is later informed that a second wave had never taken up the rear after having dispatched the initial assault.

It is then where Namor deduces the attack was a distraction while the main forces went after their real objective. Having risen to the surface to confront the mercenaries of the energy company, Namor finds Captain America making off after having secured a canister of the formula the Submariner had created. During a scuffle between the three clashing factions, the chemical sample Rogers had stolen broke. Causing both Namor and his friend turned enemy human, costing the haughty mariner king his transhuman abilities.

Having spent several weeks stranded upon an uncharted island Namor began to lose hope for finding escape while Steve secured food and rations for the both of them. But some convincing on Roger's part about acting like a king for once in his life roused action in his being.

The two of them would banter a bit about how the whole world would care nothing for seeing him roast over a spit for all the vile things he's done so far, but the Captain feels there is still some good to be found in the broken lord of water. Even without a malignant culmination of all his more despicable traits rutting around in his head convincing him to go through with it.

Just as Steve attempts to soothe Namor's newfound guilty conscience, he notices something eerily similar to civilization on the horizon as they trek through the jungles of the island. But the Submariner quickly became enraged at the sight of Roxxon scientists conducting horrendous experiments involving the Genus Compound and other miscellaneous hybridization tests. Flying off without a plan Namor was quickly beset by a Roxxon thug in an exo-mantle, the good captain demands that Namor secure the compound and flee while he distracts their assailant but the former refuses to abandon his blood brother.

Quick thinking on the captains part would restore Namor's lost mutant powers, chucking a mutant sample of the compound just as Namor was getting pummeled by the armored stooge. After dispatching the bodyguard of the scientists, he would feign letting them go while also releasing their feral chimera's right behind them.

Cap was appalled at such a maneuver after finding the cadavers left in the wake of their creations, only to be further incensed by how Namor had intended to leave the problem he'd created to his former comrades whilst hiding behind his entitlement and dedication to his people to justify it.

But Mr. Rogers demanded his former contemporary to follow through on his promise that the two of them made long ago, that being once an Invader always an Invader. Now aligned with former adversaries to stop the manifest of all his qualities. Namor divulges the true scale of the Omega Sea plan, using The Spear as a means to pressure the nations of the world into submitting to Atlantean rule and conversion into water-breathers via the Genus Compound.

Transforming said waters into a great and heavy rain that would steadily but gradually trigger flash flooding with the intent of turning Earth into a water laden planet to which all would submit to Atlantis' rule. After being silenced by a few on board still not comfortable with the one whom caused all of this, Namor and his Invader compatriots make ready for battle against his manifested inner demons. After disabling the protective field surrounding the doomsday device, Namor is quickly suborned to Machan by the power of the Serpent Crown.

Having intercepted an attack by Captain America directed towards the Machan possessed Roman. Namor drags Steve into the sea where the two do battle for a brief period, wherein the captain notices his frenemie is pulling his punches.

Indicating that Thomas's hold on the puppet king is not completely solidified. Compelled to remember all the times when the odds were stacked against them and they always had each others backs no matter what.

Namor was able to break his oppressive phantasms hold on his mind to aid in defeating the worldly assailant. Don Kaye is an entertainment journalist by trade and geek by natural design. Skip to main content area.

Get a good breath of air as we dive into the depths to explain Namor, and what his potential arrival could mean for the future of the MCU. Timely would rename itself Atlas Comics in the s before turning into Marvel Comics in Because of his hybrid DNA that also classifies him as a mutant, Namor is capable of several superhuman feats.

He can swim faster than either humans or Atlanteans, he can breathe underwater, he has an elongated lifespan, and even has wings on his feet which no one can explain. This, oddly, allows him to fly. While Arthur Curry strives to reconcile the land and sea worlds, Namor has been more antagonistic towards the surface. His most famous rivalries include the Fantastic Four and Black Panther, including that time he flooded Wakanda.
