What is Namor?
[[File:NYCC 2016 - Namor (30165311621).jpg|thumb|Cosplayer as the character.]] '''Namor McKenzie''', also known as the '''Sub-Mariner''' is a major character and recurring antagonist of the [[Marvel Comics]] universe. Created by writer-artist [[Bill Everett]] for comic book packager [[Funnies Inc.]], the character first appeared in ''Motion Picture Funnies Weekly'' #1 (uncirculated). Namor first appeared publicly in ''Marvel Comics'' #1 (cover-dated October 1939). It was the first comic book from [[Timely Comics]], the 1930s–1940s predecessor of Marvel Comics. == Fictional character biography == The hybrid mutant son of an Atlantean and a human, Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner, is alternately loved and hated by Earth's surface population—often depending on his actions. As Atlantean royalty who defends his homeland fiercely, Namor has a massive chip on his shoulder. == Powers and abilities == Considered to be the first mutant and the ruler of [[Atlantis]], he developed a rather pernicious nature. 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. This resulted him coming into conflict with [[Black Panther (Marvel Comics)|Black Panther]] along with various other heroes, such as the [[Avengers]], the [[X-Men]], and the [[The Fantastic Four|Fantastic Four]]. == In other media == The character made its live-action cinematic debut in the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] (MCU) movie ''[[Black Panther: Wakanda Forever]]'' (2022), in which he was played by Mexican actor [[Tenoch Huerta Mejía]].
