#leonard mckenzie

[imperiuswrecked]

What could have been like if Leonard McKenzie was a mixture of Captain Nemo/Fujimoto from Ponyo: someone who disowns the surface world and chooses to live under the sea with its varied resources, and adopts the Atlantean culture of his wife Princess Fen?

I think that would be a really interesting AU to explore, we've already had Captain McKenzie raise his son in What if? The Sub-Mariner was raised on land (2006), which imo is one of the best AU Namor comics ever. It explores how even though Lenoard was a loving father he couldn't protect Namor from his mother's past or find a way for his son to be happy living among the humans.

In the AU Marvel Adventures Fantastic Four (2005) #7 Captain McKenzie leaves the surface world to live with Fen among her people before he was murdered, so we don't really have much insight into what that was like.

Meanwhile in 616 we do have a comic that actually touches on this subject, Defenders (2012) #5 & 8 alludes to Captain Nemo being Namor's real father but it's never actually retconned in, it's just a little mystery that ultimately goes nowhere, which imo is for the best because the point of 616 Leonard is that he's just a normal human man, a sea captain, and the only thing he passed onto his son was that Namor is half human and the x-gene that allows Namor to fly. Issue 8 shows Leo, Fen, and Nemo as a trio of adventurers.

See while I don't mind exploring different backgrounds for the character in AUs, I strongly feel that 616 Leonard McKenzie should always just be a human, because the point of Namor's backstory isn't that he's got special background from both sides of his parents, it could have been any human, the point is that the father was a normal human. It's why I often say Leonard isn't as important to Namor's story as Fen is, but still I do love characters like Captain Nemo and Fujimoto so an AU would be great.

Submariner Summer 37

Many felicitations unto thee, Namor Nation! We gather for #SubmarinerSummer read through part 37 for another great milestone in the history of our sea prince-a series all his own. Yes, we are finally reading Prince Namor, The Sub-Mariner #1! We are kicked off by a legendary cover

And on the title page, Destiny gloats about killing Namor! How's *that* for a start to a series? Roy Thomas stays on scripts from Iron Man and Sub-Mariner #1, and we have John Buscema going all out on pencils. Frank Giacoia on inks and Sam Rosen on letters round out the team

Though victorious, Destiny is still filled with hate, so he gloats that this is his second victory. He then uses his mind powers to set Namor's brain to go over his past, so that he will finally remember the lost amnesia memories that apparently hide the first defeat by Destiny

As a plot device for a flashback issue, not the worst I've seen. So now, Oh ye faithful, thrill to the Silver Age retelling of Namor's origin. It begins with the US explorers led by Captain Leonard McKenzie causing (accidentally) a massive destruction and slaughter in Atlantis

Emperor Thakorr tells his daughter, Princess Fen, to select warriors to investigate; she says yes, but decides to do it herself. She goes to the surface and among the US expedition; soon, she ends up marrying Captain McKenzie! Weeks later, Thakorr DOES send a war party

They retrieve Fen and score some casualties on the Americans in the process, notably Captain McKenzie himself, or so Fen thinks, breaking her heart. But that brief love birthed Namor.

Fast forward to the 40s, and Namor rises to the surface, fighting war upon war

Though the wars ended, he fought still, both Atlanteans rivals like Byrrah and surface crime and enemies. Eventually, though, another destruction came to Atlantis seeming to repeat the one that led to Fen going to the surface. So Thakorr sends Namor to perform Fen's old mission

But this was not an accidental genocide by ignorant surfacers: it was Destiny with his Helmet of Power, killing and destroying just to test his abilities. He then uses them to mind control Namor, and forces him to see his Granfather and emperor, and his mother, die with Atlantis

So we finally see the cause of the destruction of "First Atlantis" that was alluded to way back in Submariner Summer part 30, covering TtA #96.

But Destiny's not done; he decides to turn Namor into his mind wiped pawn and sends him away while he hibernates one last time

So robbed of his mind and now in New York, Namor flails about a bit at first, before simply beginning to wander without identity or purpose. Y'all...this is nightmare fuel. What a godawful fate, and Destiny basically did it for kicks.

That is, of course, the state he's in when the Human Torch finds him in the classic Fantastic Four #4, which reintroduced Namor. So now we're basically back at the Silver Age, and Namor's memories are finally complete. This wakes him up from Flashback Land, where he's trapped

The ice melting on his body is the water he needs to recover his strength, and suffused with it he bursts free! And with that freedom, Namor plans to visit his wrath on the man called Destiny...and perhaps the entire surface. IMPERIUS REX!

Going to be honest, if I had to relive all that trauma all at once and wasn't just broken into a sobbing heap, I could absolutely want to destroy the world too.

But as a reader, what can I say, this was a fun if extremely truncated ride through Namor's history to that point, with some new additions and revelations in the typical Roy Thomas retcon fashion. It focuses on some key events relevant to the greater story, arc but basically this #1 was Namor 101. 👨🏽‍🏫

But NEXT, we get back to then-current events as Namor starts his hunt for revenge against Destiny as we cover Sub-Mariner #2: Cry...TRITON!

Óscar Jaenada would be Leonard McKenzie, Namor's father. A colonizer who falls in love with a native woman and decides to abandon everything to live with her, until he is killed for leading native rebellions against colonizers.

[namorthesubmariner]

One big thing I see ignored on the racial coding surrounding Namor ,is his father ,Leonard. He's always been depicted as bronze skinned, potentially suggesting Namor is mixed from his father's side with the Mckenzie name coming from the father side of Leonard's family. What are your thoughts ?

Personally I don't mind what ethnicity Leonard is from and people can headcanon whatever they like tbh, I think the only important thing is that Namor's father be of the surface world/Non-Atlantean.

Leonard McKenzie is a Scottish-American man, his skin tone does shift around from pale to tanned but there was never any indication or backstory as to his family's past/his ethnicity being anything other than Scottish-American.

I have a full reading thread here that shows all the times he showed up and what he looks like (link). There really isn't much to go on, so I think that without more context or clues about his own family history there isn't much to discuss from canon.

Absolutely despise the trope of “Female hero is looking all over for a mate.” It is always just creepy from top to bottom...

@thealmightyemprex @themousefromfantasyland @strawbebehmod @professorlehnsherr-almashy @fionapplespiano @knivxsanddespair @stormandforge

I think I found a timeline where we can imagine Mutants living and thriving in Webtoon comics style: is inspired by two individual What Ifs comics that can be considered set in the same universe: What IF 23 (1980): May Parker Was Bitten by the Radioactive Spider? and What IF 27 (1991): The Submariner Joined the Fantastic Four?

I call it The Fantastic Family timeline!

Basically, a lot more of sororority between super humans and mutants would start with Namor and Sue's marriage and birth of their son, Leonard McKenzie II, in this timeline: Namor is open and proud about being not only an Atlantean, but a Mutant as well.

While in the main 616 continuity, Reed and Sue were obsessed with being normal and respectable humans and were far from accepting of the possibility that their son Franklin Richard might be a mutant and would want to bond with fellow mutants, the Sue that married Namor of this timeline would learn to embrace her mutant child, be involved in mutant politics along her husband and son, and be open about Leonard wanting to find more about other mutants, as well as his Atlantean cultural heritage, when he becomes a teen, acting less posessive and over protective than she does in the 616 timeline.

Being the royalty of Atlantis, whose subjects are very loyal to them, Namor and young Leonard bring fellow Submariners to become important allies of mutantkind, turning the fight against human prejudice something more even.

May Parker, alive husband Ben Parker (as the family driver), her nephew Peter, his wife Mary Jane and their little daughter Annie May Parker become the Spider Family, that ocasionally teams up with the Fantastic Five while also mainly dealing with Street Level Crime alongside heroes like Daredevil, Luke Cage, Misty Knight, Colleen Wing and Jessica Jones.

On the cosmic scale, you would have the Defenders formed by Aarkus (Golden Age the Vision), The Hulk, his wife Jarella, She-Hulk, Betty Ross as Red Harpy, Doc Samson, Dr. Stephen Strange and the Silver Surfer.

And lead by Magneto, the X-Men would relocate their school to Alaska and get dual Canadian/US American Citizenship, alternating some groups to go in field missions while other groups stay to teach and protect the younger mutants.

Wolverine would still be an Alpha Flight member, that acts as a liaison between the Canadian Goverment and the X-Men

P.S: The Avengers don't need to exist

365 Marvel Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…

November 9th - Prince Namor the Sub-Mariner

Namor McKenzie is the king and ruler of the undersea kingdom of Atlantis. He was born as a Mutant-hybrid son of a human father (an explorer named  Leonard McKenzie) and an Atlantean mother (The Princess Fenn).  He was named Namor which in the language of Atlantis means ‘avenging son.’  

As a product of his mixed heritage and possessing the X-gene, Namor has been bestowed tremendous powers  This includes greatly enhanced strength, speed and durability, a significantly extended lifespan and the capacity to fly and swim at a tremendous speed.  Despite his differences and his having a human father, Namor’s power and his being the grandson of Emperor Thakorr led to his being named heir to the throne of Atlantis.  

As the human would further encroached onto the seven seas, Namor ventured out to interact with the world of man.  His initial forays were aggressive as he arrived in New York City and declared the oceans off limits to mankind under the punishment of war.  It was herein that Namor was first referred to as ‘The Sub-Mariner.’  Namor’s decree led to numerous altercations between Thw Sub-Mariner and the surface world hero, Human Torch (Jim Hammond).  

The intrepid police woman, Betty Dean, was able to broker a truce between the two combatants.  Namor was taken by Dean’s bravery and honor; so much so that it changed his mind about humans.  Not long thereafter, the outbreak of the Second World War saw Namor and The Human Torch becoming allies so to battle the evil of the Axis Forces.  The two were later partnered with Captain America and Bucky in forming the Allied super team, The Invaders.   

Some time after the war, a villain named Paul Destine used the powerful Serpents’ Crown to instill in Namor a pervasive amnesia that made him forget who he was and where he came from.  Many years later, Namor was discovered in a Manhattan flophouse by Johnny Storm of the recently established Fantastic Four.  Johnny was able to recognize Namor as the Sub-Mariner.  Hoping to break Namor out of his stupor, Johnny dumped him into the Hudson River.  This had the effect of freeing Namor from his amnesia and much of his memory returned.    

Namor made his way to an Atlantean outpost under the sea, only to discover that it had been destroyed by the US Military’s testing of nuclear weapons.  Namor vowed vengeance on the surface world and attacked it, using the giant sea monster Giganto. The Fantastic Four were able to stop the Sub-Mariner. During the fight, he became instantly enamored of Sue Storm, and offered to make her his bride and queen of Atlantis. Namor carried the romantic crush with him for years and she even reciprocated the feelings for a while, which first became apparent when Namor teamed up with Doctor Doom to destroy the Fantastic Four.

Following further clashes with the super heroes of the surface world, Namor returned to Atlantis and was named king.  He continued to battle with the surface world as well as fighting off undersea threats to the city like the rebel leader Attuma.  Namor married the Atlantian dignitary, Lady Dorma whom he had fallen in love with.  Sadly, Dorma was kidnapped and later killed by the villainess Llyra.

Although Namor often fought with the surface world there were also many times where he allied himself with human heroes against superordinate threats.  He was a founding member of The Defenders, a frequent alley of The Fantastic Four and also briefly acted as a member of The Avengers.  During this time, Namor purchased a corporation called Oracle Incorporated that worked toward producing clean energy whist promoting an environmentalist agenda.  

Following the M-Day decimation, Namor loaned his support to his fellow Mutants among the X-Men, ultimately joining their ranks for a time.  During his tenure with the X-Men, Namor became possessed by The Phoenix Force resulting in his waging war on Wakanda and sacking the Golden City.  

Amidst all this, Namor also became a part of a secret cabal of luminaries known as The Illuminati who would periodically gather to address partially dire threats to the earth.  He left the group in objection to their decision to exile The Incredible Hulk into outer space.  

Prior to the Secret Wars event, Atlantis was destroyed by the forces of Wakanda in retribution for Namor’s attack on Wakanda whist possessed by the Phoenix Force.  An embittered Namor joined the Black Order as part of a more aggressive effort to battle off the cascading incursions of alternate universes that ultimately resulted in the destruction and recreation of reality entailed in The Secret Wars event.  

Namor was killed by the Squadron Supreme in the aftermath of Secret Wars, yet was quickly resurrected and all of Atlantis was recreated as well.  Namor was once more seated as emperor and has dedicated himself to safeguarding his people and his realm by any means necessary.  

Actor Tenoch Huerta portrays Namor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, debuting in the movie, Wakanda Forever.  Prince Namor the Sub-Mariner first appeared in the pages of Motion Picture Funnies Weekly #1 (1939).

I love Leonard McKenize, love the character, but God I get so mad when anyone puts emphasis on his character as if he's more important than Fen, because that man was created to be a sexy sea captain who falls in love with his blue wife, and then "dies" so Fen can have angst, be forever tormented by the memory of her lost love and never remarry! Then is found alive but dies for real this time protecting Namor, so Namor can have angst over losing a father he never got a chance to know! This man's traits are being handsome, good at seafaring, loving his wife & son, and dying for them!!! That's it. He doesn't have a huge impact on Namor's life except through his absence and the fact that Namor had to grow up as a mixed race child not knowing one half of his parentage.

Submariner Summer 36

Ok fam who wants to #SubmarinerSummer part 36 read through with Marvel's first one-shot ever? Gather round for the interesting tale of--Iron Man and Sub-Mariner #1!

As I said in the last installment, Tales to Astonish came to an end. But not due to any failure. You see, in Marvel's distribution deal at the time, there was a hard cap on how many comics they could publish. That's why Hulk and Namor shared Astonish, and why Cap and Iron Man shared Suspense.

When Marvel was able to ditch that deal, their A-listers could get their own solo titles. Cap would take over Suspense, which ended at #99, and the Captain America solo book continued its numbering with its premiere being #100. Ditto the Hulk and Astonish; the last Astonish was #101, the first Incredible Hulk was #102

Iron Man and Namor would ALSO get their own titles, of course, but theirs start with shiny new #1s. But here's the thing...they each still had an unpublished half-length story meant to fit in a split title. So what to do? Well, publish a one-shot for the last Iron Man and Namor 1/2 stories

So yes, Iron Man and Sub-Mariner #1 continued the Iron Man and Namor stories from Suspense and Astonish, and the two stories had nothing to do with each other; the narratives in them would continue into the first issues of the two character's solo titles.

Namor, of course, was in the middle of his meeting with the Man Called Destiny. This tale is scripted by Roy Thomas, with Colan still on art, and it doesn't waste any time as Namor immediately strikes. Destiny, though, is way ahead of him, and why not, he reads minds

The battle is joined, but not for very long before the mind power of Destiny brings Namor to an icy halt. Then, as a Silver Age villain, he launches into a monologue sharing his origin story

He'd been a two-bit carnival mentalist, until learning that an Antarctic civilization had mastered telepathy. So he joins an Antarctic expedition...the same one Namor's father had led! McKenzie doesn't like him much, but they go onto the continent seeking the city of the Ancients

When they find it, Destiny tries to claim the power all for himself, but starts an avalanche that falls and traps him, but not before he finds the Helmet of Power. At this point in Destiny's story Namor breaks free and renews his assault

The Helmet of Power has enhanced Destiny's physical attributes as well as his mind powers, but physically Namor is still greater; and he's not just strong, he's fast, as Destiny finds out when he tries to shoot a sonic cannon at him that Namor handily dodges and wrecks

Unfortunately Namor goes overboard. He causes a cave-in when he throws the cannon, trapping himself under tons of ice. Destiny's Helmet saves him, and he gloats over his second victory over Namor, though we still don't know what the first one was.

A quick little clash for Namor setting up the villain's backstory, and leaving our hero deep in a trap of his own making. Its a lot of exposition, this ish; wild how much they could fit in those word balloons around some pretty action-y panels.

So, the one-shot is done, so where does that put us? Well, NEXT is a special origin issue to kick off the big premiere, because its time for Namor's full-fledged solo book! Prince Namor, The Sub-Mariner #1: Years Of Glory, Days of Doom!

“Namor was never white to begin with”: A look into Sub-Mariner comics, the Biracial Coding of Namor, the origins of the Atlanteans, Mutants, and the upcoming Live Action Namor

Many people who have followed me here, on twitter or my personal blog know that I have been very vocal about Namor being played by an Actor of Color for many years. I have written two major posts about this subject but also mention it in countless posts, meta, and discussions. Many of what you read here will be a repeat of that but I thought that I would gather everything into one post as well as talk about the casting of Tenoch Huerta as Namor in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)

(Jan 9th, 2019 Meta Post / June 7th, 2021 twitter thread)

“guys Namor was never white to begin with”- Saladin Ahmed, Comic Writer (source)

continued below the cut~

Namor the Sub-Mariner was created in April 1939 by Bill Everett, and for everyone who looks at the surface aka Namor's pale skin, and declares him to be a white character please look closer. Namor has always been coded as a Biracial character of color. I know many people like to apply Modern concepts to older comics but we really need to understand comics within the context and time frame when they were written to fully understand the concept behind them.

Character Design

It’s 1939, there are many characters of color used in racist or stereotypical ways within comics, many older comics have racism and racist depictions. I am not excusing this but also the main focus of this meta is to explain why Namor isn’t white. I will be posting panels that showcase Namor and Atlanteans as being coded as "other" aka non white people or simply as a non white character. I personally believe they are coded as an indigenous/native people. This was written into the character since his first comic. If you want to point out how the colors shift and change, I would like to point out to you that back in the early days of comics, the colors were unreliable, reading this article will help you to better understand how they changed, Atlantis Blues.

The very first time we see Namor, his original character design by Bill Everett depicts Namor with an angular face, arched eyebrows, pointed ears, red hair, and blue toned skin. Nothing about this screams “all american blond haired, square jawed comic book hero” because Namor wasn’t that. From his very first depiction Namor was “Othered” by his red hair and feyish ears, not to mention his character was quickly established as morally grey, making him the oldest and first comic anti-hero, as well as the oldest coded bi-racial character due to his parents being of two different races. To be Othered is defined as: one considered by members of a dominant group as alien, exotic, threatening, or inferior (as because of different racial, sexual, or cultural characteristics). People of Color are often Othered by White people in real life and in fiction.

Why do I mention the red hair? Unlike today’s perception of red hair, history usually paints characters with red hair in a negative light, such things like the “Red Headed Step Child” trope existed within Namor who was treated as an outcast both among humans and ostracized within his own people. The Red Headed Step Child trope is defined as: A child whose coloring is different from the rest of the family, often calling the Mother and Child morals into question, in addition to mistreatment happening towards the child due to the belief it was born a Bastard. Namor’s hair would later be changed to a black color.

For a further look into Namor’s character design by Everett then read: “The Brillance of Bill Everett’s Sub-Mariner, Marvel’s Superman”.

So within the first page that Namor appears it’s clear that Everett has purposefully “Othered” Namor, a character who is born of a royal mother, Princess Fen, (a Submariner later Atlantean) and sea captain Leonard McKenzie (a human). A child born of the union of sea and earth. Duality is an important aspect for Namor’s character and essential to understanding his character. Namor is never one thing, he is always more.

From Submariners to Atlanteans

What is this? Fen is a Submariner? Why yes, all the characters and backstory that you know now and has been canon since the Silver Age were never Atlantean to begin with! Everett’s race for his original characters were all called “Submariners”, no hyphen, and they lived in the ocean near Antarctica. The very first mention of Atlantis and Namor’s claim to an Atlantean heritage comes from Sub-Mariner Comics (1941) #31 claims that Namor's people are descendants of Atlantis so that was in the Golden Age and far before Namor's reentery to comics in the Silver Age. Here is a timeline of events showing how Namor came to be Atlantean and a Mutant. I’m also including Aquaman’s origins since there is often misinformation among fans as to when exactly everything was revealed.

Golden Age

April 1939 - Namor is created by Bill Everett. (It is important to note that while Namor made his first public appearance in Marvel Comics #1, he was actually created in April 1939 for Motion Pictures Funnies Weekly, a comic that was never distributed.)

November 1939 - Namor is published in Marvel Comics (1939) #1, he is shown as the first superhero to fly under his own power due to the wings on his ankles, (source) and is the first aquatic superhero. Namor is the first anti-hero in Marvel Comics. It is established that Namor is the Half Human/Atlantean (Submariner) son of Princess Fen and Sea Captain Leonard McKenzie. Grandson to Emperor Tha-Korr. Namor is born a royal prince with duel heritage of the land and sea.

November 1941 - More Fun Comics #73 - Aquaman is published, and established to be the fully human son of a human scientist who found Atlantis and used it’s secret science to give his son the ability to breath underwater. Aquaman was never created as a half human/half atlantean character like Namor.

January 1949 - Sub-Mariner Comics (1941) #31 - The first time Namor mentions that he and his people are descendants of Atlantis.

May 1954 - Human Torch (1940) #38 - Marvel (Timely/Atlas) makes a sly reference that Namor is the “Original Aquaman”

February 1955 - Sub-Mariner Comics (1941) #38 - The Origin of Namor’s Ankle Wings is revealed, which makes me believe the inspiration for the X-Men’s mutantism comes from Namor. As the prototype mutant Namor’s story is very similar to how the X-Men mutants would later come into their powers. As a teen, Namor’s ankle wings manifested during a traumatic event where his life and his mother’s life was at stake, and using his wings he was able to fly them both to freedom.

Silver Age

May 1959 - Adventure Comics #260 - Retcons Aquaman into being the Half Human/Half Atlantean son of Lighthouse Keeper Tom Curry and Atlanna of Atlantis.

Fantastic Four (1961) #4 - Namor enters the Silver Age.

Fantastic Four (1961) Annual 1 published July 1963 -  Namor is the Human/Atlantean Prince of Atlantis, and also Marvel’s First Mutant. The X-Men are first published September 1963.

“The First Known Mutant”

And that is why Marvel calls Namor their “First Mutant” because he was in real world time the First Published Mutant. Later stories of characters like Apocalypse doesn’t change the fact that Namor is the First Mutant, and Marvel would often use it in their promotion and editorial, “Marvel’s First and Mightiest Mutant” & Namor: The First Mutant, arts by Jae Lee

And there you have it, the origin of Namor, his mutantism, and how Aquaman was created after Namor and later changed to be more like Namor, even casting an Actor of Color to portray the Aquaman who has always been white in the comics. I was never against the casting of Momoa, in fact I liked the Aquaman movie and am looking forward to the next one, but I did want to point out that Aquaman had been taking/borrowing elements of Namor’s character since the beginning.

The reason I bring this up is that many articles going around now are saying that Marvel changing Atlantis to Talocan to avoid it being too similar to Aquaman, but as you have seen it was always the opposite, Aquaman and Atlantis copied Namor. However I think it’s more that Coogler and the cast/crew of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever are bringing Namor back to his original roots, and are creating a world that makes sense for them for the movie so this choice has nothing to do with Aquaman.

Coding in Comics

Taken straight from the comics themselves, here are several examples as to why Namor is coded as a Biracial PoC character:

(As stated above; the color printing in comics in that era was not the best hence why Namor and Fen are blond, this is a remastered comic page keeping to the original colors)

Marvel Comics (1939) #1 / Sub-Mariner Comics 70th Anniversary(reprint/recolor)

Princess Fen explains why Atlanteans (then called Submariners) hate the white surface humans who hurt their home and people. Emperor Tha-Korr calls upon her to spy on the "White Monsters" thus establishing that Atlanteans do not see themselves the same as white humans. Fen is described as most closely resembling the female of the White Race, this has more to do with the fact that she looked more human than the males of her people, who looked more amphibious. (A fantasy/Scifi trope often used: Sexy Dimorphism )

"Go now to the land of the white people!" Fen says to her son, and so Namor goes, to wage war and Avenge his people.

This panel is not always shown in context, but it is also from the first issue. Namor & Dorma make trouble on the surface then Namor tells Dorma to return home as he continues his way to the city and continue his mission.

“And so Namor dives into the ocean again - on his way to further adventures in his crusade against white men!”

Marvel Mystery Comics #2 opens with Everett directly saying that Namor is in a war against the white man. Not every subtle way to once again point out that Namor doesn't consider himself a white man, his father may have been white and passed on his skin color to his son, but Namor was raised among his mother's people and his mother's side isn't white. Yes, they are a fantasy race but they are certainly coded as a non-white people.

Marvel Mystery Comics #3 - Namor rages about the harm Betty Dean's people, "white devils", have done to his people.

“Hate you? Yes. I hate you - and with good reason! You White Devils have persecuted and tormented my people for years - just as you are killing each other off now, in this war!”

Namor speaks of his Tribe - Marvel Mystery Comics #4. By the way at this point in the comics, Namor and his people live in the south pole/waters. Namor also had an ice palace, or ice house. I won't say Namor is Inuit but I do believe inspiration was used for the submariners.

In golden age war era comics, which I know has lots of slurs and caricatures, but in this issue Namor is not a caricature but instead is mistaken for a Japanese soldier Sub-Mariner Comics #5

Namor being called ‘squinty’ by Hank Pym in reference to his eyes in Avengers (1963) #71. This term is derogatory towards Asian people who have monolids and is a known insult.

Namor is also described with "slanted eyes" - The Defenders (1972) #1

Nita (Namor's cousin) speaks about how similar Atlantean culture is to Asian culture. New Warriors (1990) #2 

Also, not all Atlanteans are white, they are shown in a range of different surface human looks when they come on land/take serum or potions to breath on land. So there is no excuse for this whole "Atlanteans are white" nonsense. Wolverine (2003) #44 

Namor is said to look Japanese in The Marvels Project (2009) #3

A twitter thread I found interesting and wanted to share talks of the the subject of Namor's backstory/being biracial/othering in fantasy media as discussed by Naomi Clark (source)

We have now established without a doubt that Namor’s original origins and moments over the comics through the years showcase that Namor is Not White, he was always written as as an ambiguously biracial native character. The Atlanteans are a fantasy race. Atlanteans are not a real, they cannot be White because they are not real, and as I’ve shown you they were never even White to begin with. The outcry by a number of “fans” that occurred when the casting for Namor was announced was made by people who do not understand the source material, their whining of “black or brown washing” is a tactic that often happens and all they want is to silence fans and fans of color, relying only on the surface looks of Namor’s white passing skin to hate on the new direction of the Atlanteans in the upcoming Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, so I implore fans to simply ignore those “fans” and remember that representation is important in comics and movies.

Live Action Namor as played by Tenoch Huerta

Was the coding in the comics something that we could call good representation of a Biracial Character by today’s standards? No, not really, but the fact that it IS THERE, and it’s been there since the beginning is worth attention.

What’s more there have been people who have seen Namor in various incarnations, in comics, in cartoons and were immediately drawn to his “Otherness” which is why it being represented in the upcoming Black Panther: Wakanda Forever makes it more important than ever before. Simply put, a white actor would have never been able to grasp the essence of Namor.

Kurly Tlapoyawa:

“It was on Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends,” Tlapoyawa tells Inverse, recalling the 1981 animated series. I was like, ‘That guy looks different,’” Tlapoyawa remembers. “He didn’t look like a white guy.” Namor’s otherness resonated through the screen to Tlapoyawa, who describes himself back then as “a young, angry Chicano” trying to figure out his place in the world. “If you look at the older comic books, it always talked about Namor and his war against the white man. That appealed to me as a Chicano kid — a non-white hero as one of the original Marvel heroes.”  (source)

Benedict Wong:

When I was watching all these Marvel films, I was always looking and feeling crestfallen. Where were all the Asian superheroes? I was pretending in my mind that the Sub-Mariner was actually East Asian, because he looked East Asian. Somehow I was trying to look for a hero.  (source)

Namor being played by a Native Mexican actor is more comic accurate than casting any white actor. Before the trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was released, back when the RUMOR of the Tenoch casting there was a rush of people trying to “cancel” Tenoch on Twitter and other sites, many insults, and bad faith arguments, even taking his words written in Spanish out of context to translate and try to paint him as a bad person. Once again racism in Fandom was trying to wage a war on Representation but luckily the majority of people have embraced Tenoch as Namor.

Namor will be played here by Mexican actor Tenoch Huerta, previously seen in The Forever Purge and Tigers Are Not Afraid – with this incarnation of the character inspired by the culture and history of Mesoamerica. “You can take Atlantis from Greek myth, or you can adapt from a real culture,” argues Huerta. Rather than the ruler of Atlantis, on the screen he’s the ruler of Talocan (source)

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will be the first Live Action debut of Namor the Sub-Mariner but unlike his comic counterpart, MCU Namor will not be from the Fictional Atlantis, but rather from a newly created mix of Mesoamerican Cultures/Countries, like how Black Panther’s Wakanda was the Afro-Futurism representation of several different African Nations/People so will the new Talocan represent a different take, one that will have a wide reach across the world. While I am not a Mesoamerican Historian, I do encourage people to learn/read more about the history and to understand that this is a fantasy take rooted in real history. This article talks a bit about that subject and how racism is often rooted in the Eurocentric take on Atlantis.

I could not believe it when I first learned that Tenoch Huerta was to play Namor, because it felt like I was talking to the wind for years trying to get fans and people to understand that we shouldn’t have a white actor for Namor, and there have been many fans who argued with me even after I would show them the proof within the comics. So to find out that not only was I getting a Native Non-White actor but one who is outspoken about the racism and stereotyping he faces for having dark skin it felt like Coogler had picked the perfect person to bring to life my favorite character because Tenoch would be able to understand Namor’s character. Namor’s struggle against American/White Imperialism, his Anti-Capitalist stance, his Eco-Warrior efforts to save his people and oceans from the pollution and corruption of the surface world and his struggles as a character whose home is constantly being destroyed. Namor is a proud flawed character, a prince, a king, but most importantly he cares for his people. So Tenoch reaffirming that we would not be getting a villain in the movie but a more complex take on this anti-hero is wonderful. Tenoch’s many interviews talk about how inclusion and representation is important and he felt the movie brought that with Wakanda, Namor and Talocan in the movie.

I am greatly looking forward to this new era of Namor and what it brings.
