What’s the Deal with Namor?

As any old-timers are sure to remember, back in the nineties we didn’t really have the internet. Certainty, we didn’t have it in the capacity that we do today, and even in the early 2000s, when I had my comics renaissance and started collecting hardcore again, we still didn’t really have the imediate access to absolutely any and all information that we have today. As a result, I never really knew what the deal with Namor was.

Namor is an Asshole.

Namor is basically the Aquaman of the Marvel Universe, and for that he takes a lot of heat and is the butt of a lot of jokes. I want to let the record show that he deserves every bit of it. Namor is a first class asshole. He may be a hero and an X-Man today, but in the early 60s he went through a period where he was just a complete dick to every superhero he came across. He fought the Fantastic Four, Spiderman, even Daredevil. He started a fight with a blind guy. Namor’s too good for landwalkers. Namor’s from the god damn ocean. Lets see how this plays out.
