[[folder:GRC Senator]]
!!''GRC Senator''

The American representative of the GRC.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Subjecting Okoye, [[WorldsBestWarrior Wakanda's most skilled warrior]], to TheWorfEffect by utterly trouncing her during their first confrontation makes it pretty clear that he's on another level in comparison to most of his fellow people of Talokan.

* TheBadGuyWins: Although he did lose to Shuri in the final battle and the two form an truce with each other, Namor ultimately won in the end: [[spoiler: He manages to severely damage Wakanda, leaving them weakened and in a state of repair, killed Queen Ramonda, making Shuri (seemingly) the last of the Golden Tribe, and even left the surface nations, the Untied States in general, focusing on Wakanda. So when the time comes that Wakanda comes under attack, they'll have no choice but to come to Talokan for assistance. Namor may have lost the final battle, but he ultimately achieved his plan of forming an alliance with Wakanda]].

* CurbStompBattle: His first offensive on Wakanda is this. [[spoiler:He makes short work of M'Baku, destroying his weapon then punching ''[[ArmorIsUseless through his armor'']] to knock him back and knock the wind out of him. He subsequently makes short work of the Dora Milaje and Shuri before killing Ramonda.]]

-->'''Namor''': Imperius Rex

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: If he had never given his mother’s bracelet to Shuri, she would not have restored the heart-shaped herb and thus defeat him.

-->'''Namor''': I have many names. My people call me a K'uk'ulkan... But my enemies call me Namor.

* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler: Namor was originally civil (To a slight degree) with the Wakandans, especially to Shuri. But after Nakia kills two of his people to save Shuri and Ruri, he really takes it hard and decides to declare war on Wakanda for this act]].

* RaceLift: In the comics, Namor is, broadly speaking, Caucasian white and inspired by Greco-Roman myth[[note]]while also being often drawn, and in very early comics even described in-universe as appearing, as if to be of Asian descent[[/note]]. In the MCU, he's portrayed by Mexican actor Tenoch Huerta due to the Talokans' Mayan origin. It should be noted that Namor’s skin tone varies across animated adaptations and comic issues, ranging from ghostly pale to tan-bronze.

* SmugSuper: A downplayed example. He's TheGoodKing to his people and can be completely civil and polite when the situation calls for it. However, when he's in the business of making threats, he's often smirking and condescending to his potential enemies. He condescends Ramonda by bragging she has nothing to offer him that would get him to turn over [[spoiler:Shuri and Riri, and [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace violates her personal space]] by warning her what he will do if she tells the United States about Talokan.]] The film shows he more than has the power to back up this attitude.

* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: Maybe. Namora was never a blood cousin of Namor in the comics; her father was adopted into the Atlantean royal family and she became a cousin to him by proxy. However, none of this is indicated in the movie, and given Namor's highly advanced age, it us unlikely she would be considered his cousin even if something similar happened.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Slightly. ''Wakanda Forever'' opts to downplay his notorious {{Jerkass}} tendencies (particularly his extreme arrogance and sexually predatory behavior) and play up his noble traits in order to make him a more sympathetic antagonist, but he's also demonstrated, repeatedly, to be completely and utterly ruthless and capable of feats of extreme violence.

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To N'Jadaka/Erik 'Killmonger' Stevens. Once he took the throne, Erik wanted to use Wakanda's mighty army and its advanced vibranium technology to subjugate the rest of the world and tried to justify it as 'freeing the oppressed', even though deep down he just wanted to vent his anger on everyone else for what he went through. Meanwhile, Namor initially only wanted to keep Talokan's existence a secret, but the surface world's encroachment on Talokan's territory for its vibranium resources means he won't hesitate to go to war with the entire world to ensure Talokan's safety. Erik also didn’t actually care about the Wakandan culture and dealt a severe blow to it by ordering the destruction of the heart-shaped herbs, ensuring that there won’t be any future Black Panther [[spoiler:until Shuri manages to recreate it]], while Namor’s entire reason for conflict is to protect the Talokan way of life, even if it results in the destruction of Wakanda, another country that’s also trapped in a similar circumstance and threatened by the outside world. Both villains are ruthless conquerors driven by childhood memories of witnessing inequality and injustice done to their respective ethnic groups by white oppressors, but of the two, Namor is far nobler than Erik ever was.

* SuperStrength: He demonstrates just how strong he is by flattening M'Baku, a man who had previously taken on an ''entire alien army'' without breaking a sweat, in one punch.

* BullyingADragon: Hutter referred Schmidt, who is now a SuperSoldier, as "Red Skull". He really should've known better.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Roeder calls out on Schmidt for ordering a full-scale incursion into Norway.

* NoBodyLeftBehind: All three Schutzstaffel officers are vaporized by Schmidt's Tesseract-powered cannon after Schmidt turned against Nazi.
* TooDumbToLive: Schneider openly calls Red Skull mad and didn't even realize that Schmidt is going to kill them while Hutter calling out the Skull even after his two colleagues have been killed.

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/BlackPantherWakandaForever'' | ''Film/AvengersTheKangDynasty''

* AmbiguouslyRelated: She shares a nationality and last name with [[Characters/MCUHowlingCommandos Howling Commandos]] member James Falsworth, but nothing has been confirmed about any relation between the two.

* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: Given Namor's advanced age, it is highly unlikely she is his cousin.

* MirrorCharacter: To Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. Both of them are white women who are affiliated with foreign intelligence agencies, and are amoral characters who primarily want what's in the best interest of their country above all else, even if it means going to extreme measures or committing villainous actions.

!!''Acuaria Nautica Neptunia / Namora''

A cousin and second-in-command to Namor.

* ForcedToWatch: One of the things they did to Mary Walker to make her suffer was to force her to watch the surviving members of her team being executed..
