![]() Namor has telepathic abilities from his Atlantean heritage that allow to him to communicate and command not only sea life, but also fellow Atlantean soldiers, if need be. He can go toe-to-toe with some of the strongest beings on Earth and come out unscathed, especially when underwater or doused with H2O, which increases his strength by extreme degrees. Namor is stronger and tougher than most any human or Atlantean. But his turbulent relationship with humanity remains far from settled. Namor also fights alongside a similar team, the All-Winners Squad, after the war comes to an end. Together with Human Torch, Thomas Raymond, AKA Toro, Steve Rogers, AKA Captain America, and Bucky Barnes (later known as the Winter Soldier), among other heroes, he helps fight the Axis around the world. To that end, Namor joins the Invaders, America's fighting force against them. Namor wants the surface world to know that Atlantis would not to be trifled with.ĭuring World War II, Namor allies with members of the surface world for the first time, sensing the danger to all humanity should the Axis powers win. Huge, destructive battles against Jim Hammond, AKA Human Torch, are frequent, as well as massive wars against the military. Coming back into possession of the stone thanks to Dorma’s pet fish, Ambrose, who secures it, it seems their mission was worth it, but it kicks off a rivalry between Namor and Attuma that would last for a century.Īs he grows to adulthood, he frequently leads attacks against the surface world for their perceived transgressions against his people. The Swift Tide rampage across the ocean, destroying Attuma’s home and family and Namor, Dorma, and Attuma are too late to stop it. Though when they find it, it releases a dark Eldritch energy that corrupts their allies from the Swift Tide, turning them into vicious and murderous creatures. As a young prince, Namor joins with Lady Dorma and Attuma of the Chasm people, and with their Atlantean allies, the Swift Tide, to set out on a mission to retrieve a powerful magical relic, The Unforgotten Stone. His mutant power of flight manifests during his youth. Namor's name means "Avenging Son" in Atlantean, and he certainly lives up to it as a young prince of Atlantis. Though they’re separated soon after, Fen gives birth to their son, Namor. An unlikely friendship begins instead, and eventually McKenzie and Fen fall in love and are married. This gains the attention of Atlantean Princess Fen, who sneaks aboard his vessel to investigate the potential enemy. Absorbing all that energy more than John could handle, and he exploded, never to be seen again.The story of Namor begins when his human father, explorer Leonard McKenzie, uses explosive charges in the process of discovery that inadvertently causes damage to Atlantis. With his new abilities, he was able to drain the energy from Iron Fist, who showed up to save Luke, but again, it proved to be too much. In the process, John was somehow revived and opted to take control of his son's body, going under the title "Power Master" now that he could absorb the energies of others. Cruz kidnapped and sent Luke and his father's remains to an island fortress in the hopes of correcting the negative effects of what had become known as the "Power Man Process." He liked his father's plan of getting superpowers and decided to get in on the action, but things went horribly wrong for him. It wasn't long after that his body completely crumbled and a metal skeleton remained.īut even that wasn't enough to keep Bushmaster down, as John's son Cruz came into play later following his father's death during Luke's solo book Cage in 1992. When Iron Fist showed up to rescue Luke, who was planned to be used as guinea pig for Bushmaster first to make sure everything worked, his transformation accelerated and turned him into immobile steel. Instead, his body continued to mutate into unliving metal, and he quickly demanded that Burnstein reverse the process. Luke clearly survived, albeit without his powers for a while, but Bushmaster? Not so much. It proved to be a success, and he was even more powerful than Luke, but in the midst of their climactic fight, a chemical vat was pierced and an electrical line was hit. Later, Bushmaster went to Seagate Prison, where he convinced Noah Burnstein to repeat the process that powered Luke Cage on him.
