Character Details

Namor is the son of Princess Fen of Atlantis and Leonard McKenzie, captain of the human vessel Oracle. He was born in the 1920's.

In his youth Namor launched several invasions of the surface world, often thwarted only by the efforts of various super-heroes. During WWII he fought the Axis powers a member of the Invaders.

Namor's memory was erased during the destruction of the original Atlantis and he was transported to New York, a homeless drunk until discovered by the second Human Torch who partially restored his memories.

Namor again launched repeated attacks on New York City. When he discovered survivors of Atlantis these took the form of full-scale military invasions. Over time Namor developed feelings for Sue Storm, causing his subjects to abandon him.

Later, ruler of Atlantis once more, Namor regained his full memory including his time with the Allies. This made him finally cease his campaigns against the surface world. Namor continued with other adventures including many with the Defenders, and later fell in love with the alien Marrina.

Namor was asked to abdicate the throne of Atlantis due to his irresponsible attitude towards ruling the kingdom, although he is still considered a rightful heir to the throne of Atlantis. He became a member of the Avengers despite an infamous reputation and criminal record for crimes against the surface world. Since that time he has continued to alternate between underseas royalty and adventurer.

Namor was briefly thought dead due to the events when Atlantis, under the control of a priest of Set, attacked the surface world in search of the Serpent Crown. When he resurfaced, Namor established a powerful company in the surface world (Oracle Inc), which attempts to safeguard the interests of the undersea realm while protecting the environment in both sea and surface realms.

Most recently Namor lost his wings (and thus could not fly), lost his memory again and spend 6 months incommunicado. He's just surfaced in a logging town somewhere on the North American West Coast.

HYBRID PHYSIOLOGY: A mix of Atlantean and Human heritage gives Namor abilities found in both species. He can breathe air or water. His body is strong enough to resist the pressures and temperatures found at the very depths of the oceans. He is also less affected by water resistance than surface-dwellers, and his eyes are specially adapted to see for great distances and with great clarity underwater, even with virtually no light.

ENHANCED STRENGTH: Namor strength level varies depending on his contact with water. At his standard level of strength, when swimming or dripping wet, he lifts up to 80 tons. When his skin is completely dry Namor is still capable of managing weights in the range of 50 tons. When completely submerged, he's considered to be in the Class 100 range due to the additional physical advantages he enjoys in that environment.

HYPER-SWIMMING: Namor is able to attain high speeds on and under the water, greater even that those of most Atlanteans. He can move at up to 60 mph and is able to travel at this speed for hours without tiring.

ANIMAL MIMICRY (AQUATIC): Namor can copy some of the useful abilities found in marine life, although he tends to do this rarely and instead favors his other powers. Namor has in the past employed a sonar-like radar sense (which allows him to detect invisible beings), and absorb or redirect electric energy (allowing him to charge the air around him with electricity).

COMMUNICATE WITH ANIMALS (AQUATIC): Namor can mentally communicate with marine life. His force of personality is sufficient in most cases to give them commands which are obeyed to the best of their ability.

WINGED FLIGHT (FORMER): Fin-like projections once found on Namor's ankles (technically a mutation) allowed him to fly. He could travel at a top speed of 60 mph, maintaining this airspeed for up to an hour before growing fatigued (although by moving at lower speeds he could extend his flying time considerably). By applying his great strength, Namor could also carry an additional 2 tons of weight while in flight. NOTE: This ability is currently unavailable to him as his wings have been removed by an anti-mutant catalyst. It is possible that the power could be restored at some point if he recieves treatement capable of restoring lost limbs - or lost mutant powers.
