Namor the Sub-Mariner is a fictional comic-book character in the Marvel Comics Universe, and one of the first superheroes, debuting in Spring 1939. He was created by writer-artist Bill Everett for Funnies, Inc., one of the first "packagers" in the early days of comic books that would supply comics on demand to publishers looking to enter the new medium. Initially created for an unpublished promotional comic, the Sub-Mariner first appeared publicly in Marvel Comics #1 (Oct. 1939), the first comic book from Timely Comics, the 1930s-1940s predecessor of the company Marvel Comics. During that period, known to historians and fans as the Golden Age of Comic Books, the Sub-Mariner was one of Timely's top three characters, along with Captain America and the original Human Torch. Everett has said the character's name was inspired by Samuel Coleridge's poem, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner".^[1] Marvel Comics is an American comic book line published by Marvel Publishing, Inc. ...

The son of a human sea captain and of a princess of the mythical undersea kingdom of Atlantis, Namor possesses the super-strength and aquatic abilities of the "Homo mermanus" race.

Publication history

Golden Age

When the giveaway idea fell through, creator Everett used the character for Marvel Comics #1, the first comic book by Funnies, Inc. client Timely Comics, predecessor of Marvel.

Namor starred in the Golden Age comic book Sub-Mariner Comics, published first quarterly, then thrice-yearly, and finally bimonthly, from issue #1-32 (Fall 1941 - June 1949). A backup feature each issue starred the detective-superhero the Angel. Along with many other Timely characters, Namor disappeared not long after the end of WWII and the decline in popularity of superhero comics. He also briefly fought crime as a member of the post-war superhero team the All-Winners Squad, and, through a 1970s retcon, was given a history of having fought with the Allies during World War II in the superhero team the Invaders. Both these super-groups were built around the core of Namor, Captain America, and the original Human Torch. Some issues of the 1975-1979 series The Invaders reprinted Golden Age Sub-Mariner stories.

Silver Age to present day

Namor returned in The Fantastic Four #4 (May 1962), where a member of the titular superhero team, Johnny Storm, the new Human Torch, discovers him living as an amnesiac homeless man in the Bowery section of Manhattan. Storm shaves the "bum" with his flames, recognizes Namor, and dumps him into the river in the hopes of restoring his memory, which it does. Namor immediately returns to his undersea kingdom (given a name in this issue for the first time in Namor's history, as Atlantis), but finds only an outpost destroyed by nuclear testing during his amnesiac years, and assumes that all his people are scattered where he will never find them. Vowing vengeance on the surface world, he attacks it with an array of sea creatures.

Enraged at the idolatry, he throws the block into the ocean, where, after Namor's departure, it subsequently melts to reveal Captain America's body frozen in suspended animation; the superhero team the Avengers would shortly revive him.

This Namor, beginning in the 1960s during a period known as the Silver Age of comic books, is more authoritative, arrogant and solemn than the impetuous youthful character of the 1940s and mid-1950s, speaking in neo-Shakespearian dialogue rather than the more colloquial speech of his youth.

Again an anti-hero during this period, Namor variously finds himself allied with the supervillains Doctor Doom and Magneto, but his royal nobility and stubborn independent streak make these alliances-of-convenience short-lived. After various early guest-appearances, — including in Daredevil Vol. 1, #7 (April 1965), a rare superhero story drawn by comics legend Wally Wood — Namor receives his own starring feature in the split-title comic Tales to Astonish (beginning issue #70, Aug. 1965). He was then spun-off into his own title, the 1968-72 series The Sub-Mariner. Some of the later issues of this series are notable for having been written and drawn by the character's creator, Bill Everett, shortly before his death; as well, they re-introduced a now-older Namora, and introduced her daughter, Namorita Prentiss.

Fictional character biography

Namor was born of the pairing of Atlantean Emperor Thakorr's daughter, Fen, and an American sea captain, Leonard McKenzie, of the icebreaker Oracle. When Fen did not return from investigating the ship's presence in their Antarctic waters, Thakorr sent soldiers to attack the Oracle, thinking her captured. In truth, McKenzie had taken her as his bride. In the ensuing attack, McKenzie was believed killed, and Fen returned to her kingdom. Nine months later, a pink-skinned child was born among the blue-skinned Atlanteans. He was raised in Atlantis, and when he matured would alternate between living there and adventuring in the oceans and on the surface.

When World War II broke out Namor put aside his differences with the surface heroes of the time and joined the Allied Hero team of The Invaders. He would be injured after the war and become an amnesiac derelict who went by the name of Macin in the bowery district of New York. During this time the original site of Atlantis would be destroyed by Nuclear testing forcing the inhabitants to move to a new location. After being awakened from his amnesia by Johnny Storm of the Fantastic Four, he would attempt to return to Atlantis, and believing his people destroyed along with his city he vowed revenge on humanity. After his attacks were repeatedly thwarted by heroes including, the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, and others he would stumble upon his people.

Namor eventually returned Atlantis to marry his cousin Lady Dorma, with whom he had fallen in love. However, Llyra, an evil princess of Lemuria, another submarine culture, kidnapped and replaced Dorma at the wedding hoping to usurp Namor's kingdom in that way. Legally, though, Dorma was the one Namor had married, but he still had to find his wife. Unfortunately, Llyra had taken Dorma to the surface world in a tank as bait, and when Namor arrived, she smashed the tank to distract him.

After being deposed from his throne and driven from Atlantis, Namor joined the Avengers. He was briefly married to Marrina, an aquatic-alien member of the Plodex as well as a member of Alpha Flight. Marrina had been abducted by Attuma at the time, and was holding her prisoner until Namor freed her with help from both the Avengers and Alpha Flight. Both he and Marrina established a small society of Atlanteans who were opposed to Attuma's tyranny in Namor's underwater grotto called Deluvia. Later, Marrina's genetic disposition to evil emerged and she was thought to have been killed battling the Avengers, but was she later revealed to be alive, but in a coma.

Afterward, during the "Atlantis Attacks" storyline of 1989 Marvel annuals, rogue Atlantean elements declared war on the surface. Namor was presumed killed in the opening battle at the Panama Canal, but had actually survived, and after turning the tide of battle kept permitting the public to believe he was dead.

Months later in the South Pacific, father-daughter oceanographers Caleb and Carrie Alexander found a nearly mad Namor and nursed him to health. Caleb had long theorized that Namor's "rage" was due to his half-human half-Atlantean blood chemistry, and he equipped Namor with a monitor to warn when Namor had to seek either air or water. This allowed Namor to control his metabolism for the first time. Determined to continue to preserve the oceans and his people, but without revealing himself, Namor collected sunken treasures to finance his purchase of a corporation he renamed Oracle, Inc., using the Alexanders as proxy buyers. Under the guise of an international businessman, he supported environmental causes. However, Namor was forced to reveal his survival when a terrorist bomb detonated on an Oracle submarine supertanker, threatening New York City.

While continuing his business endeavors, Namor traveled to the dimension of K'un L'un, where he found the hero Iron Fist, who had been presumed dead for many months. Returning to Earth and investigating the apparent invasion of Earth by the K'un L'un sentient plant race the H'lythri, Namor was forced to fight their captive, the X-Men member Wolverine. The battle was interrupted by the sorcerer Master Khan, who wiped Namor's memory and dumped him in the American Midwest. Namor was "missing" for almost a year, and was known as "Rex," until Namorita tracked him down using a psychic link to him she had recently discovered. Namor did not regain his memory until sometime afterward, when he and the apparently resurrected Princess Fen were captured by Dr. Doom. The ship Doom had used to do so was then magically imprisoned in a bottle by Master Khan, who then assumed Namor's form and sold off much of Oracle's holdings.

Namor was then recalled to Atlantis to deal with border attacks by the "Faceless Ones". After Fen attempted to usurp the throne, it was revealed she was actually the witch-queen Artys Gran, who had stolen Fen's body. Namor was killed battling Gran's sorcerer-king husband Suma-Ket, but revived by Father Neptune, the deity worshipped by Atlanteans. In the process, Namor had his wings restored and was given the sacred golden armor of his ancestor, with which he defeated Suma-ket's forces. The real Fen, trapped in Gran's body, died defending her son from a final attack from Socus, the villains' servant. Namor eventually returned to both ruling Atlantis and running Oracle, Inc., but has remained generally out of the surface world.

New Avengers: Illuminati Special revealed Namor as part of this clandestine policy group, although hostile in his opinions. Violently opposed to the group's decision to send the Hulk into outer-space exile, he left the group. His cousin Namorita was killed in the explosion by the supervillain Nitro, which led to the Act. The Illuminati asked Namor back in this light, to consider the Superhero Registration Act, but Namor opposed this as well. For vengeance for his cousin's death, Namor activated sleeper agents of the Atlantean royal guard to search for Nitro, who was instead found and captured by X-Man Wolverine. After Atlantean ambassadors sent by Namor are attacked, Atlantis begins rebuffing diplomatic overtures. Finally, in the climactic battle between the pro and anti-registration heroes, Namor brings an army of Atlanteans to aid Captain America's forces. During the recent Fallen Son storyline, looking at the aftermath of the death of Captain America, Namor attended the private funeral for his friend in the Antartic, promising the few other heroes present that, as long as he rules the oceans, nobody shall disturb Captain America's rest.

World War Hulk

Within the Illuminati, Namor was the only member who violently opposed the decision to exile the Hulk as a response to the constant destruction that accompanies his rampages. Namor warned the group that if they were to act against the Hulk, he would return from his exile angrier than ever before and "kill them all". World War Hulk is a comic book crossover storyline published by Marvel Comics beginning in May 2007. ...

Before the Hulk's return to Earth, Namor was visited by Mastermind Excello, along with the company of Archangel and Hercules, in a plan to form an united front to defend the Hulk upon his return to Earth. Namor thought this plan was foolish and destined to fail, and reminded the trio of what he told the Illuminati. He was about to attack them, when his cousin Namora came into their defense.

Not willing to attack his only living family member, Namor attacked the ship that brought the group to Atlantis and warned his cousin that her alliance with them will only bring doom to their people.

"The First Mutant"

Namor in this final page of the Sub-Mariner's debut in Marvel Comics #1 (Oct.1939). Story and art by Bill Everett.

Namor has been repeatedly identified as Marvel's first mutant, which is true in regard to the order in which the character appeared in print. However, his status as the first mutant in the fictional timeline is dubious. There are a number of mutants that predate him in the Marvel timeline, including Apocalypse (born in the 30th Century BC), Selene (active since at least 10,000 BC), Wolverine (late 19th Century AD), Mystique and Destiny (dates of birth unknown, but known to have been active at the "Dawn of the 20th Century"), the demonic mutant Azazel and a group of mutants known as the Externals.

The Externals were a fictional group of X-Men antagonists and mutants. ...

In X-Men #6 , the X-Men's leader Professor Xavier and the villain Magneto each independently suspected that Namor was a mutant; the suspicions were not verified by either of them. Later writers in the 1960s and 1970s described him as a hybrid, not a mutant, in order to distinguish him from the mutant X-Men (as explained in the letters page to Sub-Mariner #31, 1970). When the series was revived in 1990, the X-Men had become a best-selling title, and any connection with them was a potential boost to circulation; accordingly, the title logo of the new book carried the legend: "Marvel's first and mightiest mutant!" The debate over whether he is Marvel's first mutant is largely academic, given that: "all life forms... even humans... are the result of mutation!" (X-Men #59, 1969, p. 17)

Namor's principal characteristics that neither Atlanteans (Homo mermanus) nor Humans (Homo sapiens) possess are: his ability to fly, his strength which is several times that of an Atlantean, and his seldom seen (since the early 1960s) abilities of electricity generation, radar sense, ability to inflate his body to two or three times its size, and telepathic rapport with marine life.

Purely cosmetic aspects include pointed ears and an overlarge, somewhat triangular head, features he had in his appearances in the 1940s and 1950s. However, Namor is not always portrayed with these features. The usual tendency since 1966 has been for artists to render him more human-like for solo stories, and more visually distinctive while in supporting roles, Sal Buscema being a notable exception. His hairline and eyebrows are similarly variable.

Namor was recently called a mutant in House of M and New Avengers: The Illuminati by the Skrulls.

Powers and abilities

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's a hybrid of Human and Atlantean DNA, his ability to fly can't be explained by either side. (Atlanteans are an off-shoot of "baseline" humanity.) Namor possesses a fully amphibious physiology suited for extreme undersea pressures, superhuman strength, speed, stamina, endurance and durability, flight, telepathic control over marine life, electrical powers, and slowed aging.

Bill Everett, in his first Sub-Mariner story, described the character as "an ultra-man of the deep [who] lives on land and in the sea, flies in the air, [and] has the strength of a thousand [surface] men". No other powers were mentioned. When the series was revived in 1954, Namor lost his ankle wings and with them the power of flight; they, and his full strength, were restored in Sub-Mariner #38 (Feb. 1955), in which Everett additionally wrote a flashback story, "Wings on His Feet", detailing their appearance on Namor at age 14. This story was twice reprinted during the Silver Age of Comic Books, in Marvel Super-Heroes #17 (Nov. 1968), and in the book Comix by Les Daniels. In literature, film, television and other media, a flashback (also called analepsis) is an interjected scene that takes the narrative back in time from the current point the story has reached. ... Showcase #4 (Oct. ... Marvel Super-Heroes is the name of several comic book series and specials published by Marvel Comics: Marvel Super-Heroes #22 (Sept. ... Les Daniels (born 1943) is an American writer of historical horror fiction. ...

After he was revived yet again in the 1960s by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Namor demonstrated powers that had not been shown in earlier stories. In The Fantastic Four #9 (Dec. 1962), he states, "I have the powers of all the creatures who live beneath the sea! I can charge the very air with electricity — using the power of the electric eel!" In the same issue, "the radar sense of the cave fish from the lowest depths of the sea" enables him to sense the presence of Sue Storm when she is invisible. He uses "the power to surround himself with electricity in the manner of an electric eel" again in Strange Tales #107 (April 1963), and #125 (Oct. 1964); in the former he as well manifests the power to inflate his body like a puffer fish. These extra powers were ignored, however, when Marvel gave Namor his own feature beginning in Tales To Astonish #70 (Aug. 1965). Strange Tales was the name of several comic book anthology series that have been published by Marvel Comics. ... Tales to Astonish #44 Tales to Astonish is the name of several comic book series published by Marvel Comics. ...

An editorial note in Marvel Tales #9 (July 1967), which reprinted the story from Strange Tales #107, stated explicitly that "nautical Namor has since lost his power to imitate the characteristics of fish...." Marvel Tales is the title of three American comic-book series published by Marvel Comics, the first of them from the companys 1950s predecessor, Atlas Comics. ...

In all his incarnations, Namor possesses superhuman strength and is the strongest Atlantean ever known. The exact level of his strength is dependent upon his physical contact with water, in which he needn't be submerged. His strength diminishes slowly the longer he is out of contact with water, though an extended period on land does not result in his death, as it would for a typical Atlantean. Namor also possesses superhuman stamina and resistance to injury due to his hybrid nature. Namor's strength level is such that he has held his own in hand to hand combat with beings as powerful as the Hulk in the past. The Incredible Hulk in popular media, see Hulk. ...

Some stories have mentioned that Namor has gills for breathing underwater,^[3] and artists such as Salvador LaRocca have drawn him with gill slits on either side of his neck.^[4] In The Sub-Mariner vol. 1 #18-22 (1969-70), beings from outer space surgically closed Namor's gills for a time, leaving him with the ability to breathe air but unable to breathe underwater. Other sources have stated that his lungs contain oxygen diffusing membranes that allow him to breathe underwater.

Namor also possesses wings on his ankles (often wrongly described as "vestigial wings"). They are depicted as giving him the aerodynamic ability to fly, as implausible as this may appear, and his flight is directly related to the presence of the wings, as evidenced by his loss of flying ability on occasions when they have been lost or badly damaged. He could not fly as a child, and the power only manifested itself when the wings developed in adolescence. Rarely, these ankle-wings have been referred to as fins but they are always illustrated as wings. The human vermiform appendix is a vestigial structure; it no longer retains its original function. ... This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Another ability unknown in the Golden Age and rarely displayed is his telepathic rapport with many forms of marine life.

Namor has greater longevity than a normal human being. He is well over 80 years old as he was born in 1920 in Marvel timeline, but has the appearance of a male in his prime. His identity as a pre-WWII super-hero is well-established, making him less subject to the sliding timescale of the Marvel universe. A floating timeline (also known as a sliding timescale) is a device used in fiction, particularly by DC and Marvel Comics, to explain why characters created years or even decades ago, seem to have aged little or at all since their inception. ...

Personality

Namor's appearances prior to his first appearance in the Silver Age of comic books, in Fantastic Four (vol. 1) #4, are depicted in Marvel-universe continuity as having occurred during Namor's youth. In 1940s and 1950s comics, Namor's speech, like many superheroes of the time, was laced with hip slang and topical idioms. He also used references to fish and other aquatic animals as expletives, in phrases such as "Suffering Shad!" and "Great Pickled Penguins!" Roy Thomas, in his Saga of the Sub-Mariner, later explained that his use of slang was due to Namor's then-unfamiliarity with English. He cracked jokes and exhibited a more carefree personality prior to his Silver Age reintroduction, after which he was depicted as a refined and dignified royal noble, albeit a short-tempered one.

1602

In the Marvel 1602 limited series 1602: Fantastick Four, Namor is reinvented as Numenor, Emperor of Bensaylum, a city beyond the edge of the world. When the characters arrive in his realm he is arguing with his cousin Rita (Namorita) about her reluctance to marry. She suggests that this is because he refuses to find a consort himself. Upon meeting the Four from the Fantastick, however, he is attracted to Susan Storm, and attempts to woo her, unsuccessfully. He later plots with Otto von Doom to win her, while "disposing" of Sir Richard Reed. However, Doom turns against him, and Numenor is stabbed with his own trident and dies.
