Who Is Namor In "Black Panther-Wakanda Forever"? What Is The Origin Of Namor?

Namor, also known as the Sub-Mariner, is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Debuting in early 1939, the character was created by writer-artist Bill Everett for comic book packager Funnies Inc. During that period, known to historians and fans as the Golden Age of Comic Books, the Sub-Mariner was one of Timely's top three characters, along with Captain America and the original Human Torch.

"Namor" name means "Avenging Son" in Atlantean, and he certainly lived up to this name as a young prince of Atlantis. The story of Namor began when his human father, explorer Leonard McKenzie, used explosive charges in the process of discovery that inadvertently caused damage to Atlantis. This gained the attention of Atlantean Princess Fen, who snuck aboard his vessel to investigate the potential enemy. An unlikely friendship began instead, and eventually McKenzie and Fen fell in love and were married. Though they were separated soon after, Fen gave birth to a son, Namor.

As his name belies, Namor is an undersea creature: half human and half Atlantean. He is the emperor of the undersea kingdom, and hates people who dwell on dry land. The mutant son of a human sea captain and a princess of the mythical undersea kingdom of Atlantis, Namor possesses the super-strength and aquatic abilities of the Homo mermanus race, as well as the mutant ability of flight, along with other superhuman powers. Through the years, he has been portrayed as an antihero, alternately as a good-natured but short-fused superhero or a hostile invader seeking vengeance for perceived wrongs that misguided surface-dwellers committed against his kingdom. Namor wanted the surface world to know that Atlantis was not to be trifled with. According to Marvel comics, He has served directly with the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, the Invaders, the Defenders, the X-Men and the Illuminati as well as serving as a foil to them on occasio

Namor will likely be a villain in "Wakanda Forever," but may not remain so for the entirety of the film. This posit is based on Namor's origins and personality from the original Marvel Comics, which go back to the very beginning of the company's history. According to Marvel comics, AVENGERS VS. X-MEN (2012) changed the relationship between Wakanda and Atlantis forever. During that crossover event, the X-Men found themselves at odds with the Avengers regarding what to do with the Phoenix Force, which had returned to Earth. While the Avengers believed the Phoenix Force to be incredibly dangerous, the X-Men – led by Scott Summers, AKA Cyclops – wanted to use the cosmic being to improve the world. At that time "Namor"  was working with X-Man and "Black Panther" was working with Avengers. After AVENGERS VS. X-MEN, Namor and T’Challa found themselves working together as part of the Illuminati in that group’s quest to keep Earth from being destroyed by Incursions from other universes. Eventually, Namor asked T’Challa to broker a peace between Wakanda and Atlantis. At the time, Shuri, T’Challa’s sister, was ruling the country. T’Challa rebuffed Namor, telling him to go through official channels instead. When the subject came up at a meeting of Wakanda’s leaders, T’Challa did indeed advocate for peace. However, Shuri decided to pursue vengeance instead, resulting in a sneak attack that decimated Atlantis. Around the time of the attack, Thanos and the Black Order began searching the Earth for Infinity Stones, which brought them to Atlantis. In his anger at seeing his fellow Atlanteans slaughtered, Namor brokered a peace with Thanos, then lied to the Mad Titan and told him he could find an Infinity Stone in Wakanda. Thanos attacked the African nation, dealing a ton of damage in the process. When Namor eventually revealed his role in the event to T’Challa, the Black Panther swore to kill his old ally.
