NAMOR is the Most Interesting MARVEL Hero

Imperius Rex!

Before there was a "Morbin time", there was an "Imperius Rex". Respect the Submariner.

Fun fact: He's also the first superhero to fly before superman did

What people don't remember is that Namor was basically the main antagonist of early 60's marvel comics. He was the most featured one as he appeared in almost every book and was the antagonist for their flagship title Fantastic Four's first annual. Not Dr. Doom, Namor

I’ve always said he’s a complex character. Noble aristocratic regal but with a furious temper. He has a very overlooked friendship with doctor doom and he’s one of the few people doom treats as an equal maybe because they are both monarchs and recognise their own worth. I wouldn’t say he’s marvels answer to aquaman considering he predates him

I never knew Namor was this complex! I always see him randomly appear on comics and think “Man that guy looks like a jerk”😂

He seems like marvels version of Vegeta personality wise Because he loves the thrill of battle

Went against The Illuminati and warned them NOT to send the hulk to space. When Banner returned he left Atlantis be.

I always thought of Namor as being something like the ocean itself personified. The sea cannot be reasoned with, you cannot control it, it can be calm and pleasant one moment and raging the next, and it provides transportation and livelihood and food just as easily as it destroys entire coastlines. Namor seems…elemental, impervious to the judgement of man, tumultuous, nearly impossible to reign in, and once he’s set on a path it’s basically like trying to stop a tidal wave.

Old marvel had soap opera level of drama in comic(in a good way)...but nobody just understood that...

I love these character deep-dive videos! They paint a perfect picture of how much more layered and nuanced these comic book icons are than people’s surface-level understanding of them. Speaking of, what happened to the Silver Surfer one? That was one of my favorites.

Man you outdid yourself on this one… the research, the writing, the cast… just great

Since Namor debuted before Aquaman essentially Aquaman is dc’s Namor

Namor was the first character to defeat the Hulk in battle, taking him underwater and nearly drowning him. Since then the two have been constant rivals. Namor cannot beat Hulk on land and Hulk has only beaten Namor once in the sea. Despite that. He was the Hulk's first ally. The first one to neither hate or fear him, and his constant companion on the Defenders I think Namor is the Hulk's only real friend in the superhero community. Great video as always

Tenoch's Namor was different, but i think it was a good take. Something i like, for example, is that you can tell he has sadistic tendencies (him talking about killing the spaniards as a kid, for example). I can definitely see him being arrogant af when interacting with characters like Dr. Strange, F4, Moom Knight, etc

Fun fact: Namor was created in 1939 while Aquaman was created in 1941 so you can say that Aquman is a rip off of Namor but nobody really cares.

Namor's Jane was Betty Dean. A police woman in New York in the 1940's.

I just love the fact that you used the same voice actors as B-Mask's (Fantastic) Fantastic Four video. And well done describing Namor. :)

The fact you showed how Cyclops and Namor are great characters, I would love you to make a "Respect Morbius" video. Idk if he really is interesting, but the fact he is a old Spider Man villain and even got a movie which was bullied by everyone, Im curiouss about what your take on him would be

Something people doesn't realize aswell is the fact that Namor was pushing the comics narratives since the very beginning, in some way or another. Think of the Golden Age, colorful heroes who had very strict and defined concepts of good and evil, they would even fight on WWII (as Namor himself) and then just do inconsequential stuff, have adventures or just be heroes... but not Namor. At the end of the 30s he was at the center of what probably is one of the earliest special events on superhero comics, he would target the city of New York as the medium to deliver a message to the surface and flood the entire place, but with the original Human Torch being there to fight him and save the people, a crossover of certain scale that would define the style of Marvel characters that would be foud to constantly have confrontations between eachother, even if they were the usual heroes, I mean, Civil War kinda has its roots on something that was like 60+ years old by the time.
