Namor, the Sub-Mariner #47-48 and Fantastic Four (vol. 1) #377-392, Fantastic Four Annual #27, Fantastic Four Ashcan Edition #1 Tyrak – A powerful warrior in Attuma's army that can grow to monstrous size and bears incredible physical strength. The mutant son of a human sea captain and a princess of the mythical undersea kingdom of Atlantis, Namor possesses the superstrength and aquatic abilities of the Homo mermanus race, as well as the mutant ability of flight, along with other superhuman powers. Through the years, he has been portrayed as an antihero, alternately as a good-natured but short-fused superhero or a hostile invader seeking vengeance for perceived wrongs that misguided surface-dwellers committed against his kingdom. A historically important and relatively popular Marvel character, Namor has served directly with the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, the Invaders, the Defenders, the X-Men and the Illuminati as well as serving as a foil to them on occasion.

Spectacular Spinning: One of Namor's most effective tactics underwater is to trap his opponent in a whirlpool until he or she runs out of air. Namor appears in the Inhumans motion comic, voiced by Trevor Devall. [200] Collected editions [ edit ] Namor, The Sub-Mariner is the ruler and protector of the underwater empire Atlantis. However, away from his home, he is many other things. Sometimes a hero, other times a villain, but a lot of the time an antihero– who has much disdain for the surface world. It makes him a fascinating character and a cult favourite for many. In the past Namor has interacted with the Serpent Crown throughout his adventures, in later publishing he has regained access to all of its supernatural facilities to augment his own powers. [124] Former powers and abilities [ edit ] He seems to have a fondness for the women of the Grey-Summers family in general, having no problem letting adult Jean set up her X-Men: Red in Atlantis after everything goes pear-shaped on the surface, and contributing his army to take down Cassandra Nova (though he had a personal grudge). Likewise, he'd also semi-grudgingly advised Teen Jean on dealing with the Phoenix, especially after she proved her mettle - and the latter incident implied that he was rather impressed by adult Jean beforehand, referring to her somewhat admiringly as a "terrifying specimen."Royals Who Actually Do Something: The prince or king of Atlantis (depending on the story) is willing to fight battles himself or at the front of his army. His royal styling appears to actually be Prince of Atlantis, though not as in "son of the current reigning king". 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.
