Virago

Virago is not an Atlantean, she is from Zephyrland. I have removed the mention of her from the powers section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.89.123.14 (talk) 09:58, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Redirect notice

Submariner no longer redirects here. It goes to a disambiguation page. The notice at the top of the page should be removed or replaced. —Stormraven (talk · contribs) 11:29, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Secret Invasion

Some of the name links under this section were broken due to typos or incorrect names (trying to link to Parker Robbins instead of The Hood for example); I've corrected all of these.Xbriskox (talk) 14:24, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Picture

Am I the only one who doesn't like the picture used to illustrate this article? Carlo (talk) 01:28, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

• I don't see why the current image from the late, great Michael Turner is undesirable personally. ---D--- (talk) 12:15, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Speedo Namor all the way. Fuck the disco outfit in all it's forms.

I don't think the Silver Surfer was ever a member of The Defenders. He definitely wasn't one of the original members, who were Dr. Strange, the Hulk and Namor.96.232.51.247 (talk) 03:12, 24 September 2009 (UTC) Yes he was there were 4 members of the defenders —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.68.28.65 (talk) 12:10, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Useful book

Just stumbled across this upcoming book which should be useful for this and the Bill Everett page: Fire And Water: Bill Everett, The Sub-Mariner And The Birth Of Marvel Comics (ISBN 9781606991664) out in a few months from Fantagraphics. (Emperor (talk) 23:40, 29 July 2010 (UTC))

Picture (con't)

• Change I agree with Cfortunato above that the infobox picture should be changed. Michael Turner is polarizing artist (who, by the way, played no great importance in the Namor's history). This recent Alan Davis cover (cropped) seems a much better fit and displays his current costume. [1]--May Cause Dizziness (talk) 00:32, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

  To be fair "current costume" isn't an over-riding factor. The trunks is the more recognizable character design, which is what we are shooting for. As far as the artist... it really isn't a change criteria at all, short of an over-stylized piece - ie Seinkowicz (sp) would not be a good choice. That Turner is not liked, liked, lauded, loathed, intrigal to the character, a footnote, what ever is irrelavent. The current image fits what the project guidelines are aiming for. - J Greb (talk) 01:23, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Strength levels

"Namor's strength level is such that he has held his own in hand to hand combat with beings as powerful as the Hulk in the past."

Anyone have a citation for this? Something like that should be sourced if it's to remain in the article. --21:03, 10 March 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevehim (talk • contribs)

Thought I remembered this issue: Incredible Hulk #118: http://marvel.wikia.com/Incredible_Hulk_Vol_1_118 "Wanting the battle to end before any of his people can be injured, Namor attacks the still rampaging Hulk and their fight causes massive tidal waves. Eventually Namor is able to knock the Hulk out of the water and into the sky. Following the plummeting Hulk, the Sub-Mariner finds the battle is over when he finds the unconscious Hulk transforming back into Bruce Banner and so he retreats back to his kingdom to leave Banner at peace."

Namor is an eco-terrorist

Near the end of 1940 Namor threatened to sink the island of Manhatten underneath a tidal wave while fighting the android the human torch. This was the first fight between comic book heroes. I'm pretty sure his motivation was the surface world messing with his home through pollution and naval activities; which would constitute eco-terrorism. Does someone havea better reference for him being an eco-terrorist? CensoredScribe (talk) 20:05, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
