Namor has been a favourite of mine since the 1970s Defenders, he was never really a hero or villain, or even anti-hero, he was just Namor who did what Namor does because he's Namor. Most people compare him to Aquaman but I think he's more comparable to Black Adam.
Namor with the bomb is better than batman any day lol. Do feel thread helps detoxify from ms marvel mutants. Oh cool, just noticed his name is my last name, Roman, backwards lol.
@Psychometrics Namor's story in Marvel Comics #1 was a reprint of Motion Picture Funnies #1. Human Torch first appeared in Marvel Comics #1. Namor is therefore the first Marvel (then known as Timely Comics) hero.
Normal Atlanteans can only stay out of the water for about 10 minutes without special breathing apparatus, but Namor can stay out indefinitely at the cost of his abilities gradually decreasing until he comes back into contact with water
I love all your videos, Sage! Keep up the good work! I enjoy learning about new characters. I would love to see Sunfire, Silver Samurai, and Sebastian Shaw in the future if you could! Respect to you!
You see the one where Namor duked it out with Hercules and they both fell in the water and Namor hit Herc so hard he went flying out of the water? That book was EPIC!
Dam aquaman became a justice league almost immediately maybe that’s why he he became more popular then namor maybe if marvel had namor join the avengers earlier probably would have become more popular then aquaman
@@niceandflyy Namor was part of the Invaders back in the 40s alongside Captain America and the original Human Torch and once he was an X-Man before he became an Avenger and eventhough he's no longer an Avenger he's still on their reserve lists.
@@niceandflyy Yeah I suppose Marvel didn't fully knew what to make him: hero or villain so they made him be a bit of both: anti hero. I've always rated him regardless where he stood.
you the best at what you do my man. I don't watch any others anymore because they have stuff on repeat but you don't my man. keep up the hard good work bro. take care and I'll stay tuned in. much love
I've never been a big fan of Namor, but I respect the character. Namor & Aquaman are both 2 of the most underrated heroes tht get a lot of hate, but are powerhouses
@@Themegatrolll No he's not. Aquaman can keep pace with Wonder Woman, who can hold her own with Superman. Aquaman can telepathically cause brain hemorrhages. Aquaman can literally make the undersea life at his command stronger, while Namor can only control normal fish. Namor can't win.
I can only hope they do him justice in BP2. He better "lose" because both sides came to a mutual understanding, rather than him being beaten by someone NOT named T'Challa.
@@jon_ovo3653 I hope he doesn't die. Reason why I say this is because he's the first the mutant and Autuma is in the film, so I believe the reason why Wakanda and Atlantis will go to war is because of him. Manufacturing the reason for war in the first place. Shuri will fight him but they'll come to a truce once learning of Autuma's treason or whatever he has planned.
@@windghost2 actually there's a theory that Dr. Doom is behind it and he's the true villain so when Shuri and Namor find out they'll have a truce fighting Dr. Doom
I hope Namor does well in the MCU. The Aztec reccon is... interesting. I always thought he was a Japanese analog since he was created around WWII. I hope the writers do him justice... and I gota hear him say "Imperious Rex!" By the way, never knew his last name, great research, Sage!
Namor has always been one of my favourites . He’s regal, complex the original arrogant prince which to me is a precursor to characters like vegeta. I like aquaman too but prefer namor
Perfect rating Sage! I've always loved Namor, I thought he was the coolest, I'm not sure I'm going to like the MCU version but I'll hold off my decision until the film. From what I saw he needs to hit the gym a bit. Also the original Defenders we're one of the strongest teams in MARVEL.
He's the only character in all of comics I can actually relate to and he's respected, his title alone says his place "The First" no one in all of comics has that. That's saying alot 💪👍💪
ah, a new MCU movie/show must be coming out. A character no one normally bothers with is the new FOTM and every presenter has made a vid about him/her. Good job though boss, you're always on point!
Thank you for presenting a true history of Namor, and NOT the M-she-U version that Disney is trying to push in Black Panther 2. It's sad to see Marvel allowing the lunatic fringe crap all over Stan Lee's legacy. Glad there are a few "true believers" still around. Great video.
I liked how he brought conflict in the Illuminati and the Defenders; he might be a prick, but he always makes things interesting. I hate the changes they have done to Namor in the MCU.
Finally I've requesting Namor in a while thanks new sage So sad that MCU is making 360 turn in his origins instead of atlanteans their making him like an aztec-something alike which is frustrating
My third favorite comic character of all time, I HATE how my wife gloats about aquasham cinematically overshadowing his film debut to the point where they're changing his background, origin and roots; so as not to confuse the uninformed. His strength & power, sadly, never seems to be appreciatively showcased.
My first experience with him was in fantastic four: world's greatest heroes 2006 (and some other characters like Iron Man and Ant Man the real Ant Man). And even at age 7 I thought he was a chad.
Romulus and Remus come into the conversation, as well. Although their claims were dubious. Also, don't forget about the recently added Firehair. Thor's, supposed, true mother from ancient days. 🤦🏽♂️... 😅👍🏼
I always liked Namor loud and arrogant as he was he usually backed up his words just ask any of the hard hitters he's fought with and against in Marvel Comics and I'm still waiting for a Namor vs Aquaman crossover because you'd see that they don't call Namor the Savage Sub-Mariner for nothing.
Being a Marvel OG, I never understood why they didn't incorporate and promote him earlier. While he was a antihero to humans, he is a hero to Atlantians. He hated human polluters and destroyed them. In today's world, he would be at the forefront of the dangers of climate change and its affect on Atlantis. Great story lines, in my opinion.
Do you think Namor the Submariner should get his own movie in the MCU? What do you think he and Attuma is going to be like in the upcoming Black Panther Wakanda Forever movie? Is Namor really going to have a father from the Aztec tribe instead of Captain Leonard Mackenzie in the MCU?
To be technical.. TORO was dubbed a mutant in 1940 just as Namor. (who originated in 1939)... But nowhere will you find "strongest". That was your personal addition to the titling
excellent video as usual, can you please do a video that addresses the accusations of King Namor not being an Atlantean? I think people saw the Wakanda forever trailer and have started rumors about this, It’s all over TH-cam, anyways ✌🏾 😎.

Namor vs Black Adam is a fight I'd like to see.

Hey i just thought of that
I agree.
Although that would be great it won't happen because she Hulk has to be the bestest ever. Lol.
Finally. Some respect for one of the first marvel characters.
@Psychometrics Namor's story in Marvel Comics #1 was a reprint of Motion Picture Funnies #1. Human Torch first appeared in Marvel Comics #1. Namor is therefore the first Marvel (then known as Timely Comics) hero.
Sadly the android torch never shows up anymore
Normal Atlanteans can only stay out of the water for about 10 minutes without special breathing apparatus, but Namor can stay out indefinitely at the cost of his abilities gradually decreasing until he comes back into contact with water
And recently gained Hydro mans powers
He could just dunk himself in a bathtub right?
@@dadsfreetimeclassicgaming1220 technically, he can
@Jaëger U literally transforming into water
Normal humans gradually decrease in life the longer they are away from potable water. Its really more a weakness for normal people.
Namor is a powerhouse especially in his element, the ocean.
I love all your videos, Sage! Keep up the good work! I enjoy learning about new characters. I would love to see Sunfire, Silver Samurai, and Sebastian Shaw in the future if you could! Respect to you!
Hopefully, Namor's debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will bring more Mutants in the MCU.
Not too many cause that section of marvel gets convoluted and messy.
There getting rid of mutants and namor is Aztec now
@@wolfbane7497 don't be so sure. Kamala Kahn's a mutant now.
@@wolfbane7497 what does that even mean 😂😂
If he is a mutant. Then what does that make Namor people, the blue Atlanteans?
You come with the dope quality videos. Super detailed breakdown of Namor’s abilities & his story.
When Namor became an Avenger in 1986, I was like, *"YES!"* I still have those issues boxed away. Great character that's about to burst onto the MCU.
You see the one where Namor duked it out with Hercules and they both fell in the water and Namor hit Herc so hard he went flying out of the water?
That book was EPIC!
@@kimbelsimpson7535 Yeah, and all drawn by the best Avengers artist, the late, great John Buscema.
Dam aquaman became a justice league almost immediately maybe that’s why he he became more popular then namor maybe if marvel had namor join the avengers earlier probably would have become more popular then aquaman

I Love this one New Sage, Namor is always my favorite ❤
I believe he’s one of Marvel’s oldest characters.
You must be the Eddie Brock from the ultimate universe
Namor was the first superhero with the power of flight.
There's more to Namor than I ever knew, thanks for this.
I know right?! 💪🏽😎 And no problem, man! Have a good one! 👊🏽
@@NewSage you too. I look forward to what you'll roll out next
Fun Fact: He's also one of the first superheroes created when Marvel was Timely Comics.
THIS CHANNEL DESERVES A LEGENDARY RATING ..
My dude! 😁👊🏽
Namor has been one of my favorite characters i really like brawling attitude, his toe-to-toe battles with the Hulk and The Thing.
And don't forget he fought Thor and Hercules in short Subby don't back down from nobody.
Very disappointed that Namor NEVER made the roster of ANY Marvel V. Capcom game. One of my favorite characters in all of comics.
you the best at what you do my man. I don't watch any others anymore because they have stuff on repeat but you don't my man.
keep up the hard good work bro. take care and I'll stay tuned in.
much love
“Namor Mackenzie” 😂 I wasn’t ready for that.
Great video, Namor deserves a bit of spotlight.
This guy is marvel comics royalty this video on him is long overdue. He beyond deserves the rating you have given him.
Namor is the most well-rounder Marvel character. I'm surprised Marvel haven't done solo movie cuz he would had a good character development.
I've never been a big fan of Namor, but I respect the character. Namor & Aquaman are both 2 of the most underrated heroes tht get a lot of hate, but are powerhouses
Namor has consistently been a better character than Aquman.
@@omarscarborough4274 Not really.
Namor has a clearly defined personality going back several. Aquaman not so much.
@@123LORDOFHELL may not be the better character and that’s why Aquaman is more popular but Namor is definitely stronger
@@Themegatrolll No he's not. Aquaman can keep pace with Wonder Woman, who can hold her own with Superman. Aquaman can telepathically cause brain hemorrhages. Aquaman can literally make the undersea life at his command stronger, while Namor can only control normal fish. Namor can't win.
Namor is Atlantean like Aquaman but morally gray like Black Adam. Shame we won't see a proper portrayal of his rivalry with Panther.
read the comic
New Sage thank you for all your hard work and in depth detail. We love you so much and I watch all your videos
Can’t wait to see him in Black Panther 2
I can only hope they do him justice in BP2. He better "lose" because both sides came to a mutual understanding, rather than him being beaten by someone NOT named T'Challa.
Knowing marvel the fight will be 3 minutes including pausing to talk and then he will either be defeated or die
@@jon_ovo3653 I hope he doesn't die. Reason why I say this is because he's the first the mutant and Autuma is in the film, so I believe the reason why Wakanda and Atlantis will go to war is because of him. Manufacturing the reason for war in the first place.

First Mutant. Strongest Mutant... biggest Ego.
Great video 🖖🏽
You've been on fire lately Sage. Keep em coming!

Ok I knew he was strong but I never new he was that powerful .
Great video man.
As always, a splendid video!

I've been waiting for you to do this one.
Glad to oblige, bro! 😎👊🏽
Very good assessment bro….. 10/10.. perfect
You need to do Annilius please
He's the only character in all of comics I can actually relate to and he's respected, his title alone says his place "The First" no one in all of comics has that. That's saying alot
💪👍💪
Thanks for the history lesson. I really didn't know much about the character.
I'm a huge Marvel fan but I have never knew that Namor's last name was McKenzie. It's like making Thanos' last name be Jones.
Namor's human father was Leonard McKenzie.
I love Namor personality, he's cocky and arrogant and 8 out of 10 he can back it up
He definitely deserves that rating Namor is a beast
Namor is a beast lol
“The Savior of Atlantis is the Prince of the Deep.” Great video brother Sage! 👍🏿
ah, a new MCU movie/show must be coming out. A character no one normally bothers with is the new FOTM and every presenter has made a vid about him/her. Good job though boss, you're always on point!
Excellent Rating👌🏾👐🏾👐🏾
It’s hard to discern which of his powers are mutant and which are Atlantean.
The avenging son, one of my favourites heroes from Marvel.
I know him for chucking Richards.
Honestly I slept on this guy when I started reading about him he became underrated marvel has to this man back in comics
Remember, Namor was first. Aquaman is the rip-off.
Love namor he is like a aquaman great marvel character love the comics great character
Aquman is an inferior copy of Namor.
Thank you for presenting a true history of Namor, and NOT the M-she-U version that Disney is trying to push in Black Panther 2. It's sad to see Marvel allowing the lunatic fringe crap all over Stan Lee's legacy. Glad there are a few "true believers" still around. Great video.
"Strongest Mutant" that's a stretch but I like how savage of a character he is.
You can say Gentle or Apocalypse might be stronger but that’s about it
@@itisi8068 I am pretty sure Franklin Richards counts as a mutant though
Franklin Richards is the most powerful mutant.
@@scientist368 They have recently retconned Franklin Richards's status as a mutant.
Glad to see you still making vids🤟🏾
If only Aquaman is half this cool.
Great character. I was wondering was Mr. Spock modeled after him?
Hopefully Tenoch has a great Imperious Rex in the upcoming movie
Definitely respect namor
Yes Sir!!! Get em Sage👐🏾👐🏾👐🏾
From the Wakanda trailers, it looks like they are ruining Namor before he ever gets started.
I liked how he brought conflict in the Illuminati and the Defenders; he might be a prick, but he always makes things interesting.
I hate the changes they have done to Namor in the MCU.
Finally I've requesting Namor in a while thanks new sage
So sad that MCU is making 360 turn in his origins instead of atlanteans their making him like an aztec-something alike which is frustrating
namor has always been my favorite marvel character.
Hype for Wakanda Forever!!!!
Can you do comic book origin of Marvel's West Coast Avengers?
My third favorite comic character of all time, I HATE how my wife gloats about aquasham cinematically overshadowing his film debut to the point where they're changing his background, origin and roots; so as not to confuse the uninformed. His strength & power, sadly, never seems to be appreciatively showcased.
1:00 can someone pleaseee help me figure out what comic this panel’s from plz? 😢🙏
It's gonna be a trip to see how WAKANDA FOREVER, uses NAMOR in their own backstory change.
Excited for him in BP2. It’s ashamed that he and T’Challa will not meet or have any interaction in the movie
They give Namor a aztec-something origin
where are from the comic book illustrations shown in this video??????????????????
My first experience with him was in fantastic four: world's greatest heroes 2006 (and some other characters like Iron Man and Ant Man the real Ant Man). And even at age 7 I thought he was a chad.
I always thought it made more sense for "First Mutant" to allude to his royal background.
Bro seems like he really walks his own path
Just how many “first and strongest” mutants are there?
It was all easier when it was just apocalypse
He's the first to appear in comics, Apocalypse is the first person to be a mutant i believe
Romulus and Remus come into the conversation, as well. Although their claims were dubious. Also, don't forget about the recently added Firehair. Thor's, supposed, true mother from ancient days. 🤦🏽♂️... 😅👍🏼
@@NewSage that's also since been retconned, though
Agreed a rating of 10
We love Namor yeah because he is awesome and the best and the greatest and amazing and all ways wicked!!!!!!.
I am horrified by what MCU has done with Namor, unless that character in the trailers is not Namor, but maybe a rep or faction of Atlantis.
I actually find this new version of Namor to be a very interesting idea
its just you, and that's Namor. get over it.
@@doggowar I bet it’s not just me
@@MbisonBalrog it isn't bit it's still dumb that you are getting so butt hurt about it
This guy is an absolute bad ass
This is tricky Namor is the first by release but Apocalypse is the first by lore. Still interesting
he's the only guy who can make speedos look cool.
A well deserved 10
Since you did the comic book origin of Marvel's Gorr the God Butcher, Can you do comic book origin of Marvel's Mangog?
I always liked Namor loud and arrogant as he was he usually backed up his words just ask any of the hard hitters he's fought with and against in Marvel Comics and I'm still waiting for a Namor vs Aquaman crossover because you'd see that they don't call Namor the Savage Sub-Mariner for nothing.
Man Namor is a Beast And all this time I thought he was a carbon copy of Aqua-man
Someone please enlighten me, why is there tension/conflict between Wakanda and Atlantis?
I got to ask can you put graviton on the list please?
Being a Marvel OG, I never understood why they didn't incorporate and promote him earlier. While he was a antihero to humans, he is a hero to Atlantians. He hated human polluters and destroyed them. In today's world, he would be at the forefront of the dangers of climate change and its affect on Atlantis. Great story lines, in my opinion.
Can you do comic book origin of DC Fatal Five?
Namor is amazing character
I don't know if you done him yet? but I'm curious to see you do Raiden from mortal Kombat?
T’Challa and Namor would have been an epic battle.
Do you think Namor the Submariner should get his own movie in the MCU? What do you think he and Attuma is going to be like in the upcoming Black Panther Wakanda Forever movie? Is Namor really going to have a father from the Aztec tribe instead of Captain Leonard Mackenzie in the MCU?

Only under the water though iirc!
Love your commentary 👌 👏 👑💯💯
He’s definitely NOT the strongest Mutant, but he is the first.
Is the godfather of all mutants , One top 3 oldest characters in Marvel comics
@@kingjames846 ok so what tf does that have to do with what I just said? Or you just bored? I’m confused
Wow just mind blown
Namor was made a mutant in 1964. Before that he was a hybrid.
Tad Carter was introduced as a mutant in 1962.
Marvel's true first mutant.
@You're under 19 don't argue no, I meant what I wrote. Do you have evidence?
excellent video as usual, can you please do a video that addresses the accusations of King Namor not being an Atlantean?
I think people saw the Wakanda forever trailer and have started rumors about this, It’s all over TH-cam, anyways ✌🏾 😎.
MCU is changing the name of his kingdom so normie fans want be confused.
It's in the Legends toys that they are changing Atlantis to Talocan.
