For the Salty Comics Ask Game - 47: What’s the worst blatantly untrue fanon take you thought was canon?

47. What’s the worst blatantly untrue fanon take you thought was canon?

These are from me first getting into Namor as a character;

1. Susan Storm cheated on Reed and slept with Namor (who is a serial cheater/home wrecker) because Reed was an emotionally abusive/negligent husband.

Nope. Never happened. Not once does it ever happen yet with the way fanon went on about it I 100% thought it was true for like a few months, maybe 6 months, until I got a chance to go through a lot of Namor's comics. It took me a year or so to be certain because by then I had read even more.

2. Namor r*ped Sue.

This was also found to be untrue as I dug deeper into Namor's comics. So around the time I got into Namor there was a Fantastic Four blog that painted him as a r*pist/horrible misogynistic asshole by taking panels out of context, and it greatly upset me because I really didn't have any resources nor was there any blogs for me to ask so I had to do the research on my own. That same blog had a lot of terrible takes that I really hate and it turned me off of wanting to learn anything about the Fantastic Four for a couple of years until I met my friend Hex who was really nice and through our conversations I began to warm up to idea of learning more about the Fantastic Four.
