Namor Week 2023

Day 4 - Alternate Universe

Miyamoto Namor was created by Greg Pak and Steven Segovia. He appeared in X-Treme X-Men (2013) 10 and 11.

In his universe, he left Atlantis to fight for Imperial Japan and Xavier brought the British over to the side of the Axis, who won WWII. After the war, Xavier killed the leaders of his allies to rule supreme. Atlantis then flooded the world, killing most of the surface dwellers. While Namor was confronting Atlantis, Xavier destroyed them in a sneak attack.

Miyamoto Namor had been searching for this evil version of Xavier for a decade, when X-Men team of variants appeared and discovered Xavier, prompting a long over due clash between the two mutants of Earth 13410.

A what if I find hysterical as a concept (it’s probably not meant to be funny, but it acts as dark comedy for me) is one where the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan were freaking Gamma bombs. So everyone in Hiroshima and Nagasaki became Hulks, and Japan steamrolled the world with an army of Hulks.

I just find it darkly funny that in that what if the US bombing a civilian population backfired so dramatically. I have never read the what if mind you, the execution might be trash, and the description of the plot on the wiki does not excite me. Thank you @oxymitch for linking it to me. But the concept itself still amuses me.

On the more “everything freaking goes wrong,” shoutout to Earth-13410 for everything perpetually getting comically worse.

First, Charles Xavier is a British fascist in wwii and allies with the axis and the soviets. Namor is also the protector of imperial Japan so the Invaders are down a member. Their alliance conquers the world, Cap is killed, then Xavier turns on the rest of his allies and defeats them. Then freaking Atlantis comes out of nowhere with a steel chair and floods the entire freaking planet to conqueror it. Next Xavier and his surviving followers and their slaves use their giant submarine to bomb Atlantis and wipe out all Atlanteans outside of Namor. Namor hunts the sub but it looks like an island from the sky so he can’t find it while flying. Eventually a bunch of reality-jumping x-men show up and helped Namor kill Xavier, but Namor is just depressed because Japan and Atlantis are destroyed. Then the reality-jumpers bailed so I guess the reality is still empty of people outside of white supremacist fascists, an Imperial Japanese superhero, and the formers’ slaves? The wiki at least does not say what happens there after Namor decapitates Xavier.

And like I am not expert on marine biology, but flooding the whole planet will get rid of pretty much all shallows, so plants that anchor to the ocean floor will be unable to reach sunlight, it will diluting the composition of the seawater, many fish and other aquatic life are adapted for specific conditions so everything but stuff like guppies might die, it’s a bad plan Atlantis. Although there are other Atlantean settlements, so maybe Atlantis had prepared for the following unprecedented mass extinction, or had plans to remove the access water, but they got bombed and the smaller kingdoms could not survive in the new super ocean.

Look it’s ridiculous how much goes wrong in Earth-13410. I’m surprised Galactus didn’t randomly show up to eat the planet, like in that old Exiles arc on the world where Skrulls have mutants fight in gladiatorial combat.

Anyway here’s the link to the only surviving named character from that Earth.

@thefingerfuckingfemalefury Personally if I had to write a what if with fascists winning WWII*, that AU would take place decades later after the Axis had completely collapsed because of their stupidity, infighting, and fear of getting punished by the higher-ups so they pass the buck/don’t report issues.

*Which I would have to be forced to do because I hate the concept. Alternate history projects hinging on the Axis winning wwii are so cliche, bleak and often just excuses to jerk it to Nazis. What’s next, alternate history where Rome never fell? One where the soviets won the Cold War? Another where the confederacy won the American civil war? Wow, so original, I am sooooo impressed by the creativity. Those have certainly never been done to death, wow.

These are my multiverse hot takes.
