One highlight of the conflict was Iron Fist using the power of Shou-Lao revealed to be an ancient enemy of the Phoenix to try and punch the force out of the rampaging king. Seeking to rebuild the ranks of the Hellfire Club after a few openings in their court arose, Shaw selected Namor as an ideal candidate. Namor scoffed at the idea, claiming it to be a waste of his time. The Club, never ones to let disrespect go, sent Emma Frost to brainwash Namor into joining.
If he wouldn't cooperate, they'd force him to join. The two fell for one another and plotted to elope. The Hellfire Club caught up with the pair and managed to wipe Emma's mind of her and Namor's plot.
Despite being their king, Namor is not a full-blooded Atlantean. The two fell in love out at sea and during their time together, McKenzie impregnated Princess Fen.
Recently, in the pages of Avengers , Namor cited how hard it was to grow up not fully Atlantean. He had to earn the trust of his people and those who wouldn't follow him he had to instill fear in.
Namor also possesses the X-Gene, making him a mutant. This X-Gene was likely carried by his father, as it is a primarily human gene mutation, though it appears Leonard had no powers of his own. Namor, and indeed all Atlanteans, enjoy an extended lifespan. Due to their aging process being more robust, Namor has been around for quite a while. He's been witness to some of modern history's biggest events and as the leader of an entire people, he has had to take part in that history, chief among them being World War Two.
During the second world war, the King of Atlantis answered the allied call against the Axis forces. Namor would join the likes of Human Torch, Captain America and Bucky to help wherever they were needed. He formed a lasting kinship with Steve Rogers and Jim Hammond during this time. Namor has had an on again, off again relationship with the Fantastic Four over the years.
He's been a villain for the heroic family and he has also been their ally. Though he often finds himself coming into contention with three-quarters of the team, he developed a soft spot for Sue Storm. The two fell for one another for a time, though it appears the furthest they ever went was a kiss. Though it did not last long, Sue's influence on Namor remained for a time, with her being able to petition him for help.
Namor has even told Reed openly that he has tried to get Sue to leave him. Though Namor would leave the Illuminati twice under duress, he did contribute during his time on the team. He worked with the group to try and resolve the multiverse incursions, he was entrusted with the protection of one of the Infinity Stones and he worked to help investigate their disappearance when they were seemingly destroyed.
Born to a human sea captain and a princess of the undersea kingdom of Atlantis, Namor is a definitely human-Atlantean hybrid. Due to his maternal roots, Namor can breathe underwater , can mimic sea life, use sonar, and has superhuman strength.
His ability to breathe on water and land, as well as his pink skin differentiates him from his blue-skinned Atlantean brethren who only breathe water. Still, those surface-dwelling traits can be attributed to his father. The one feature that makes Namor completely unique are the wings on his ankles that allow him to soar through the air. But while this makes him different, it does not necessarily indicate that he is a mutant. 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.
But when after the crisis was averted and the sea king would profess to reverse The Spear's function in order to return the excess waters pulled from another world to Earth and undo the damage done by their plan. He will still be held accountable for everything that happened putting Atlantis in the cross-hairs of the planets ire for his and Machan's petty schemes.
Reminding Namor about how being a king requires sacrifice and in this case, what was to be forsaken for restoring stability to the world was Namor's forgoing his thirst for retribution. Something the good soldier gracefully asked his former comrade if he could do for the sake of his kingdom and for the sake old camaraderie. During Malekith 's assault on Midgard in his final bid to conquer the Ten Realms, Namor continued defending his borders.
When Captain Marvel proposed a brief alliance to help mitigate the chaos everyone is beset by, Namor flatly refused her offer while the two made their way out of the besieged Atlantis. Namor had become privy to the rise of the new mutant homeland Krakoa and of its considerable influence on the world stage.
However, he refused Charles Xavier's invitation to the sovereign nation, since he didn't believe the mutants' segregation from humankind came from a place of Xavier embracing their superiority to men. When Magneto embarked on a jaunt to lease an island owned by Namor on behalf of Emma Frost, Namor asked in exchange to enlist Magnus's aid in searching for a team of scientists in his nation's employ whom disappeared around the Molloy Deep.
Finding contention with a kraken controlled by ancient sirens whom lure unsuspecting victims to their doom living within the creature's gullet, Namor and Magneto were forced to solve a riddle. Namor's impulsiveness earned him the wrong answer, but Magneto saved his life and allowed both to escape the Kraken after defeating the sirens' mind game.
With the bargain fulfilled, Namor fairly parted with the island. He later attended the Hellfire Gala where Xavier and Magneto offered him a seat in the Quiet Council of Krakoa but he rejected it and went over to talk to the former members of The Illuminati. This prompted Namor to attack Mike Nguyen at his personal tower, but was confronted by Brawn and the Pan Guard and was forced to retreat.
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 as Atlanteans are an offshoot of "baseline" humanity. He has been stated to be an Alpha-level mutant. Expert Combatant: Namor's extended lifespan and his involvement in numerous conflicts both under the sea and in human wars have granted him a great deal of experience in hand-to-hand combat.
Growing up, he demonstrated natural skill in both armed and unarmed combat and likely received extensive training in both later on. He is a master swordsman, marksman, and is capable of wielding other weapons such as spears but rarely does so due to his preference of hand-to-hand combat. Diplomatic Immunity : As the leader of a sovereign nation, he often visits the United States or the United Nations for political reasons. He employs diplomatic immunity during these trips. Multilingual : Namor speaks virtually every language on Earth.
Talented Business Executive: Ever since he was a teenager, he proved to be very adept in the field of business, as it came easy to him. Class Later Namor's strength was increased even further, surpassing his normal levels, what allowed him to match opponents such as Thor, She-Hulk, and Iron Man simultaneously.
Due to his mingled bloodline of Atlantean and human breeding, a number of natural dependence and unique vulnerabilities has occurred.
Namor's strength, stamina, and durability are affected most and, at their minimum known level, are much closer to the levels possessed by the vast majority of other Atlanteans. Renewed exposure to water will immediately restore his abilities. He does not need to be submerged; even a spray is sufficient. Oxygen Imbalance: Namor has demonstrated a vulnerability to oxygen imbalance when remaining too long in either water or air, resulting in manic-depressive mood swings.
PTSD Post Traumatic Stress Disorder : Part of the real reason why Namor suffers from a deeper mental and emotional imbalance is due to the psychological scaring he'd incurred at the atrocities committed by both sides of the conflict during World War II.
He is chronically stuck reliving the harsh memories of all the horrors seen back in the day and as a result was left severely damaged as a person, causing him to fly off in fits of rage whenever such memories are triggered. Dehydration: Very powerful heat-based attacks are somewhat of a concern, as they cause dehydration, causing his body to dry faster, and weaken at an accelerated rate. Pollution: If Namor is immersed in or exposed to polluted water, it can have a negative effect both on his physiology and the efficiency of his physical attributes.
Wings: Despite being incapable of providing lift, Namor's wings seem to be essential to his flying abilities, and their loss renders him grounded. These appendages seem to be slow to heal when damaged, given that after losing them, he required an extended period of time to regrow them. Marvel Database Explore. Connect With Us Discord Twitter.

Let no man deny that Namor is, and ever shall be, Prince of the Blood! This is an abridged version of Namor McKenzie's history. Retconned Powers. Namor had displayed a number of powers decades ago that have been written out or simply not shown in many years, including some of the following. Some of the abilities he has demonstrated are: Sonar: Namor possesses a natural form of sonar.
Hybrid Sense: He can follow radio beams. Bioelectricity : Namor can discharge bio-electricity similar to an electric eel, but seldom uses it.
He seems to be able to absorb certain energies and convert them into bio-electricity; blasts similar to his own such as from the Wasp seem easiest to absorb.
Namor appears in front of Osborn and says that he will pay for what he has done. The confrontation afterwards is not seen, but later on, Namor's name is seen checked off.
New Atlantis is currently being constructed beneath the island. During the events of Schism, Namor states that he will remain on Utopia, as he prefers combat and New Atlantis is not going anywhere, so neither is he. Namor is one of the people who attacks the Avengers when they try to invade Utopia.
He takes the Thing on one on one, but is defeated when the Thing throws a giant Anglerfish on top of him, and is only saved when the Thing is called away to join the rest of the Avengers. Later on the moon, he once again engages the Avengers to help protect Hope.
During the battle, the Phoneix Force is split into five pieces, and one of them takes possesion of Namor. After taking the burden the rest of Illuminati could not, destroying an alternate world to save the Earth from the most recent incursion, the rest of the Illuminati ban Namor from their group, hypocritically condemning his actions.
The rest of Illuminati know another incursion is near and are decided to let it happen. The incursion never happens even after the countdown is done, unknown to them, Namo is the reason the incursion was stopped. A newly formed Cabal, lead by Namor has destroyed another Earth to save ours, and so a new Cabal rises. 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. Amphibious Physiological Adaptation: Namor's body is specially developed for underwater conditions, granting him specialized blood circulation to withstand freezing temperatures and highly developed vision to see clearly even in murky ocean depths. This hybrid physiology means he can survive indefinitely underwater or on land, though he would still need occasional contact with water to survive.
Augmented Vision: Namor's enhanced vision enables him to penetrate the ocean's depths and see through murky water. Flight: Namor also possesses vestigial "wings" on both of his ankles, by which he seems to fly at speeds upwards of over MPH. Since the "wings" by themselves could never carry Namor, it has been speculated that he uses the wings for steering and flies in some other manner, perhaps by telekinesis.
During the the times he's lost his ankle wings, he is unable to fly at all. Namor's ability to lift weights while flying is lessened. Animal Mimicry Aquatic Life : The Sub-Mariner has the ability to mimic the characteristics of all the undersea creatures. Some of the abilities he has demonstrated are:. Expert Combatant: Namor's extended lifespan and his involvement in numerous conflicts both under the sea and in human wars have granted him a great deal of experience in hand to hand combat.
Growing up, he demonstrated natural skill in both armed and unarmed combat and likely received extensive training in both later on. He is a master swordsman, marksman, and is capable of wielding other weapons such as spears but rarely does so due to his preference of hand to hand combat.
Talented Business Executive: Ever since he was a teenager, he proved to be very adept in the field of business as it came easy to him. He is one of the most powerful superhumans on the planet.
Namor's strength, stamina, and durability are affected most and, at their minimum known level, are much closer to the levels possessed by the vast majority of other Atlanteans. Renewed exposure to water will immediately restore his abilities. Oxygen Imbalance: Namor has demonstrated a vulnerability to oxygen imbalance when remaining too long in either water or air, resulting in manic-depressive mood swings.
Namor is believed to be in the midst of an imbalance during the times in which he becomes angrily very easily, which he is well known for, and is unable to think clearly and logically. He can prevent this imbalance, however, by dividing his time between the two atmospheres.
He has occasionally used scientific or magical means to regulate his oxygen levels. With the imbalance properly controlled, Namor has shown himself to be a much more capable leader and generally much easier to be in contact with.
