Does Namore hate all surface dwellers or just those who were in power because I can't imagine him hating simple ordinary people who live ordinary lives more than the people who are in power who are destroying everything

Namor hates polluters, poachers, those who harmed his people and the oceans/creatures. He dislikes men of power who used that power to harm or bully others, has a deep mistrust of all of humanity, and hates all Nazis. The average human who doesn't hurt the oceans etc. Namor wouldn't bother with them and doesn't hate them, but as for humanity as a whole Namor doesn't like surface dwellers. The character is very "I hate people, but I like persons" type, as in he has to get to know the person before he changes his mind. Namor's hatred of humanity was instilled in him in childhood, he was literally raised on stories of how monstrous surface people where and childhood games like "American Invaders" were part of it. Sub-Mariner Comics (1941) #35

Namor's first character arc comes in Marvel Mystery Comics (1939) #3 where Betty Dean tries to convince him that not all surface people are bad.

Namor's grandfather and mother basically brought up Namor as their living weapon to be used against the surface world. It's not that Namor hates surface people for no reason, he was taught from a young age how bad they all were, all of them, with no way to differentiate good from bad people because basically in his mind they were all bad, fear and anger are driving forces for the character. Marvel Comics (1939) #1 (remastered). Saga of the Sub-Mariner (1990) #2

That's why Namor viewed all surface people as bad, it's part of his character arc to accept the human part of himself and learn that even though most of his encounters with people were terrible, there are good people in the human world too. So that's basically why Namor's hatred and mistrust of people is part of his character, however he does help people he sees need help, such a child falling into the sea, a person in need of help, etc. Namor, the Sub-Mariner (1990) #1

It's actually one of the major plot points that cause Namor issues with the Atlantean people, that he does try to stop war with the surface world and the atlanteans, he can't turn his back fully on humanity because he is half human, and many times the Atlanteans hate Namor because he does help the surface world.

IMPERIUS REX!

Namor Week 2024 - Day 4 - Tattoo @namorweek

Thank you to the marvelous @pointdotiozao for creating a set of Namor inspired tattoo designs for me! I love the designs!!! Inspired by both the movie & the comics, these tattoos infuse ink and Namor's famous catchphrase "Imperius Rex".

The Talokan Tattoo features The Feathered Serpent as shown in the movie Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, it's serpentine body wraps around the glyph that says "Imperius Rex" and Namor's vibranium spear.

The Atlantean Tattoo features Namor's famous trident with a addition of wings at the end to represent his flight, the words Imperius Rex line the top and bottom of the trident, presented in different directions.

Namor Nation! If you wish to color the Talokan Tattoo then please share your creations in the reblogs of this post and credit the artist @pointdotiozao !

The Human Torch

Do you like fire? Do you like comic characters? Do you like comic characters who can set themselves on fire? Well then this is the post for you! Welcome to the Marvel Comics Human Torches Crash Course for beginners.

Golden Age

Jim Hammond

Aka: The Human Torch, The Original Human Torch, The Human Reactor, The Synthetic Man, Firebug

Jim Hammond is one of Marvel’s oldest heroes. Created in the Golden Age by Carl Burgos he first appears in Marvel Mystery Comics (1939) #1

Bio: Jim Hammond is an Android, he was created in a lab by Professor Phineas T. Horton who used his creation of ‘Horton Cells’ to make a synthetic human with his own free will. Jim was debuted before reporters but when his glass tube was uncovered he promptly burst into flames, the Horton Cells exposure to oxygen caused this reaction and also caused the people to cry out for the Android’s destruction. Instead Horton buries Hammond underground with the intention of recovering his creation later, however after several years a crack had formed in the Torches concrete prison and oxygen reacted with Jim’s body allowing him to burst into flames once more, and so he escaped. Jim spent the next years using his powers to help people, he fights in WWll with the Invaders. Jim is deactivated or destroyed throughout the comics, and comes back by being rebuilt or reactivated. Jim takes in Toro as his ward after the boy is orphaned. Throughout the years Jim tries to find his place in humanity, he serves on different teams and becomes CEO of Oracle Inc. He also joins SHIELD. As of the comic Squadron Supreme (2016) #14 Jim’s torch powers were taken away and he has since called himself the Human Reactor in reference to a second set of powers he gained over the years that remained when he could no longer produce flames.

Comic Fact: In the comics it was revealed that Jim Hammond was the one who killed Hitler during WWll by using his flame powers. Jim Hammond also was part of the first crossover in comic history when he battled Namor the Sub-Mariner in Marvel Mystery Comic (1939) #8. Jim loves cats and often adopts them.

The character is often associated with that of Frankenstein’s Monster, the first of his kind and his journey for his place in the world. He wants to be human, though he knows he is not, and strongly identifies with Pinocchio. His hope of proving himself “brave, truthful, and unselfish” will someday make him more human is what he strives for. Jim often wondered if he has a soul since he is an Android. He has often been referred to as the heart of the Invaders, both Namor and Steve Rogers says that Jim is the best man they have ever known.

Toro

Aka: The Flaming Kid, sidekick to the Human Torch, Thomas Raymond, Human Torch

Toro is one of the earliest sidekicks in comics. Created by Carl Burgos and debuting in  Human Torch Comics (1940) #2 

Bio: Toro’s parents were assistants of Professor Horton, The Human Torch visits the family for information and later Toro’s parents are targeted and killed in a train wreck. Toro survives because of his newly found abilities to create fire from his body just like the Torch. Jim discovers Toro has made a name for himself in the circus after his parents are killed in a train wreck and is targeted by a villain, he takes Toro as his sidekick and they go on to have many adventures, and he also fought with the Invaders during WWll. Toro never officially takes the title of The Human Torch, but during the Sub-Mariner (1968) #14 Toro is brainwashed by the Mad Thinker and his dark hair is dyed blonde in order to make the world believe that he is Jim Hammond, the truth is revealed and Toro dies fighting the Mad Thinker. During Avengers/Invaders Toro is revealed to be a Mutant and thus the reason for him being able to create flames was because his mutant gene was activated early, before then only explanation for his abilities was exposure to the ‘Horton cells’. He is revived in Avengers/Invaders by Bucky Barnes who using the Cosmic Cube to bring his friend back to life. Toro then goes on trying to make a new life for himself in the future, he is reunited with his old friend the Original Human Torch. As of the comic All New Invaders, Toro is now an Inhuman and his abilities are being able to create and manipulate chemical and elemental transformations in his body and the air around him.

Comic Fact: Toro is the only Invader to survive the war and the period following mentally and physically stable. He grows up and marries before he is killed in Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner (1968) #14. Toro is also the childhood best friend of James ‘Bucky’ Barnes.

Toro has more in common with Johnny Storm than he does with Jim since he also received his powers by accident and unintentionally. As the youngest member of his group he is often seen as too young or immature, his fiery personality and quick come backs make it hard for him to keep his cool when it comes to decision making. Toro looks up to Jim as a father figure and as a friend.

Silver Age

Johnny Storm

Aka: The Human Torch, Matchstick, Flamebrain, Torchie, Blaze, Firebug

Now this is one Torch that I am sure you know! The most famous of them all, the fantastic Johnny Storm. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and debuting in Fantastic Four (1961) #1 and based on Carl Burgos’s Torch, Johnny Storm has been blazing through the comics since the early 60′s.

Bio:  Johnny Storm is the youngest member of the Fantastic Four. He gains his powers when he and the other members of the Four go into space and are exposed to Cosmic Radiation. Younger brother of Susan Storm (now Susan Richards) The Invisible Woman. The Fantastic Four are Marvel’s first family and their introduction to comics ushered in a new era of story telling.  Although Johnny started off a high school super hero his journey from a young hero and Johnny played up his new found celebrity status. His adventures with the Fantastic Four and the challenges and triumphs that came with being with his family helped him grow into the character he is today.

Comic Fact: Johnny Storm was the first member of the Fantastic Four to get his own solo title in Strange Tales (#101 - 134) less than one year after his comic debut! In the comics the Human Torch and Spider-Man are best friends.

Johnny Storm is the only Human Torch to be featured in other modern media such as movies and cartoons. Johnny loves his family and seeing him with his niece and nephew is one of my favorite things.
