Namor the Sub-Mariner is the ruler of undersea Atlantis. The offspring of a sea captain and an Atlantean princess, he has been both a hero and a villain to the surface world. Namor is one of Marvel's oldest published characters with his origins in the Golden Age of comics.
----

* AdmiringTheAbomination: Dr. Stein does it [[http://www.comicsbulletin.com/main/sites/default/files/soapbox/images/0903/depths52.jpg once he fully spots Namor.]] Namor, understandably, [[http://www.comicsbulletin.com/reviews/images/0903/depths53.jpg isn't amused.]]
* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: In an early appearance, Namor was battling the Fantastic Four, then offered to spare the surface world if Sue would agree to marry him and become Queen of Atlantis. She agreed, but when he saw that she wasn't thrilled about the whole thing, he threw a fit and stormed off. Not very long after, he decided it was time for Sue to be his queen, abducted her, and informed her that her indecisiveness in choosing between himself and Reed had forced his hand. Furious at being kidnapped, Sue refused to cooperate and was soon rescued by the rest of the Fantastic Four.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Namor used to have the ability to mimic any aquatic life, fitting him into this trope. That is no longer the case since the power has been long forgotten.
* AntiVillain: DependingOnTheWriter and when he isn't being an AntiHero -- Retconned as a chemically induced fictional mood imbalance (bipolar disorder doesn't work like that) during Byrne's run on Namor's own book. He is a member of the Illuminati (a council of powerful heroes which includes Professor X, Iron Man, Reed Richards, and Doctor Strange) and the Cabal (its villainous counterpart, which included Norman Osborn, Doctor Doom and Loki). He claims he doesn't see the difference.
* ApparentlyHumanMerfolk: Aside from pointed ears (and the wings on his feet that grant him flight) he looks fairly close to human, as unlike full-blooded Atlantians his skin is not blue.
* ArchEnemy: Attuma. That said, they have recently patched things up and are now allies.
** Also Llyra, who murdered his wife Dorma, caused Namora's "death," was involved in the death of his human father, and tricked him into siring his EvilKnockoff Llyron by [[BedTrick disguising herself as Susan Richards.]]
* AtlantisIsBoring: So much so that Marvel went out of their way in one of his previous miniseries to have him spend nearly the entire story AWAY from Atlantis, and ended the series blowing it up and moving his people to Latveria of ''all'' places. Although Atlantis was recovering... [[TheyKilledKennyAgain until]] ''ComicBook/FearItself'', which dealt a serious blow to Namor's self-confidence.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: In ''[[http://cammyscomiccorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/namorteeth-172x300.jpg Sub-Mariner: The Depths]].''.
* BladeOnAStick: His signature weapon is a magical trident given by the god Neptune to the Atlanteans two thousand years before Namor's time. It can control water, fire energy blasts and healing beams, and set up forcefields. It's also partly made out of adamantium.
* BlessedWithSuck: Post retcon, his status as a HalfHumanHybrid is this. Yes, he has the full spectrum of Atlantean powers ''and'' he can survive on land long-term, unlike a pure Atlantean. Unfortunately, Namor is one of those rare hybrids whose mixed up genes leads to them being screwed over--in his specific case, the attempt to force a compromise between water-breathing Atlantean biology and air-breathing human biology has made his brain chemistry function best on a very specific oxygen level; if he spends too long in ''either'' air or water, this balance tips and his brain chemistry goes all out of whack, resulting in extremely unpredictable mood swings, paranoia, heightened aggressiveness and... well, basically it's the reason why he keeps jumping all over the morality spectrum.
* CanisLatinicus: His CatchPhrase, Imperius Rex. "Imperius" is a nonsense (though obviously derived from the real Latin word ''imperium''). There are quite similar-sounding real words that could be used instead to make it make sense, but as it stands, the phrase is a prime example of this trope. (The second element, Rex, is legitimate; it means King.)
* CaptainErsatz: Inverted.
** Creator/DCComics' Comicbook/{{Aquaman}} first appeared a few years after Namor and shares several similarities to him. They have effectively been each other's AlternateCompanyEquivalent for many years.
** The post-''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}'' version of the Ocean Master was radically altered into a slightly less-Jerkassy version of Namor. The main difference is that Orm is typically an AntiVillain who will help the good guys if it serves his purposes, Namor is traditionally depicted as an AntiHero who will turn on the good guys for his own ends.
** ComicBook/BlackAdam's characterization has often been compared to Namor's, as have his looks in recent years. Adam was rather less attractive originally, but now they practically look like twins.
* CatchAndReturn: Namor once caught Ares' axe and embedded it in Iron Man's armor on the return throw.
* CatchPhrase:
** "Imperius Rex!" It [[RuleOfCool sure sounds cool]]. Namor's saying he's top dog, pretty much. Imperius is power, empire, while rex means king. Stan Lee did his homework.
*** "Imperium" is a Latin noun meaning empire or command. "Imperius" is a made-up word. It's [[RuleOfCool cool]] Latin, not homework Latin.
** In the 1960s and 1970s, he also had the much less impressive "Suffering Shad!"
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Especially when he's on the villain's side. During Comicbook/DarkReign, after finding himself allied with Namor again, Doctor Doom resurrected General Attuma, in secret, to send him against Namor in case of his betrayal, as too often their past alliances ended with Namor switching sides in a middle of the battle.
* ChronicVillainy: Creator/JohnByrne had Namor's more Jerkass tendencies explained away by the idea that he is made irrational from an oxygen imbalance due to a flaw in his hybrid physiology.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: As drawn by his creator Bill Everett, Namor's facial features resembled that of his creator and even had his creator's red hair.
* DatingCatwoman:
** When he was more villainous, he was the male Catwoman due to his romantic tension with Sue Storm/Richards of the ComicBook/FantasticFour back when he was a villain.
** Had a brief relationship with Emma Frost while she was with the Hellfire Club. This is a RetCon written after her HeelFaceTurn (and set between his FaceHeelTurn and his HeelFaceTurn -- in other words, they were both villains when it happened and both heroes when it "came to light").
* TheDreaded: In ''Sub-Mariner: The Depths'', Namor is considered to be ''the'' most terrifying thing in the ocean, was blamed for the sinking of the Titanic, and apparently kills anyone searching for Atlantis. And he will [[http://michaelmay.us/08blog/11/1112_smdepths2window.jpg track you]], then [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PYFBUreT9wk/TaZ6wy8elsI/AAAAAAAABHs/Yc3ihqzJMAo/s1600/depths3death11.jpg murder your crew]]. He kills [[spoiler: two submarine crews and the crew of an entire research station]]. But [[spoiler: he ultimately spares Dr. Steinman, so Steinman can go on to debunk the myth of Atlantis for the public like he always does, allowing Namor and his people to live in peace]]. How Namor got this information is unknown.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
** Initially the Atlanteans or Sub-Mariners, as they were originally called, had BizarreSexualDimorphism with the males having green scaly skin, large eyes and catfish-like barbels under their noses while the females had Caucasian skin, large eyes and some slight-fish like features. The blue skin, name of their race and the fact that they had any connection to Atlantis would not appear until 1963: twenty-four years after Namor's debut. Further more they could be out of water for five hours with Namor being able to be outside indefinitely due to his half-human nature.
** Under Bill Everett, Namor had his creator's red hair. He has since been immortalized with black hair.
** During the 1960's, Namor used to have powers based on sea creatures like the puffer fish and the electric eel. The power to control and redirect electricity is the only artifact left over from this period.
* EldritchAbomination: Namor fights a lot of these and their worshippers, from the Faceless Ones to Set to Suma-Ket.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Namor may be willing to bed [[ExtremeOmnisexual almost anything with a pulse]] and hit on a married woman, but he shoots down Hope's flirtations because she is underage.
** In the ''Incursion'' storyline, Namor is willing to destroy inhabited alternate Earths to save both universes resulting in killing billions of humans, but saving far, far more lives that would be ended if both universes were destroyed. Yet, he draws the line at his "Cabal" of villains assembled to help him who not only destroy the alternate Earth, but engage in unnecessary wholesale sadistic slaughter and torture of the population before hand instead of quietly planting a world-destroying bomb and leaving.
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: One of Namor's most effective tactics underwater is to trap his opponent in a whirlpool until he or she runs out of air.
* ExtremeOmnisexual: As of [[https://comicnewbies.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/imperius-sex1.jpg this incident]] Namor has officially been upgraded from ReallyGetsAround to this trope.
-->'''Hope''': Ick ick ick!
-->'''Namor''': You are only showing your parochialism and prejudice. There are many forms of beauty. She is the dignified queen of a noble people. [[ThirdPersonPerson Namor]] is nothing if not cosmopolitan in his tastes.
** However, because EveryoneHasStandards, he turns down the underage Hope.
* FairCop: Betty Dean, his GoldenAge love interest.
* FantasticRacism: In his youth he was a pariah in Atlantis due to, being, well, white - where normal Atlanteans are blue. They called him "pale crab." He's happy to note that they don't do that anymore, but the Blue Marvel thinks they just don't do it to his ''face''.
* FireForgedFriends:
** When he first met the ComicBook/IncredibleHulk, shortly after Hulk's falling out with the original [[Comicbook/TheAvengers Avengers]], they fought to a draw and then decided to team up against all humanity for a minute. Though they've both obviously stepped back from that goal, they've remained loyal friends ever since. (Namor was the only one to object to the Illuminati's plan to send Hulk into space. And warned them that it was [[WhatAnIdiot an incredibly stupid idea]] that would [[ComicBook/WorldWarHulk inevitably backfire]].)
** With Jim Hammond, the original Human Torch. The two had their famous battles, but they later fought side-by-side in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII in the Invaders. Namor later referred to Hammond as someone he respects (and for a guy like Namor, that's quite a compliment).
** Namor met the Blue Marvel after mistaking him for another invader from the surface world. The two engaged in a fierce struggle, and emerged as close friends.
* {{Flight}}: He has small, fin-like wings on his ankles (echoing the mythological example of the [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greco-Roman god]] Hermes/Mercury). These work equally well to propel him through air and water.
* FlightStrengthHeart: Namor has super strength, can fly, breathe both air and water, can charge his body with electricity, has telepathic control over undersea life... and at one time could puff himself up like a puffer fish.
* FlyingBrick: Namor's power set. Or most of it, at least.
* FlyingSeafoodSpecial: His other power set.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Among the general Marvel hero establishment. In ''All-New Invaders,'' even Captain America admits that if the vast majority of superheroes heard that Namor was being held prisoner by the Kree, they would say the Kree can keep him. The exception is the Invaders themselves, whom Namor fought alongside in the war. Since ''ComicBook/OriginalSin'' and the whole 'mind wiped by Illuminati' thing came out, even Steve has gotten to the point where he can't stand Namor. When ''Captain America himself'' is openly passive-aggressive and refusing to forgive you, you know you've crossed a line.
** Jim Hammond seems to be the only friend Namor has left, apart from [[ComicBook/BuckyBarnes Bucky]], who's still a fan, as is ComicBook/DoctorDoom, oddly enough. He's also got a mutual respect thing with Magneto.
** He also gets on surprisingly well with Jean Grey, both the teen and adult versions, the former after she earned his respect, the latter because she's an AllLovingHeroine.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Occasionally, he will use his trident, but for the most part, Namor's main weapons are his fists.
* TheGoodKing: Namor loves Atlantis and will do anything to protect it. Those who try to harm his city or his people [[BerserkButton will deeply regret that decision]].
* GracefulInTheirElement: Not that he's clumsy on land, but he's better in the water. On land he can give the Hulk a good fight. In water he would ''win''.
* GreaterScopeVillain:
** Set, the ancient serpent god loosely adapted from Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian. Namor has rarely fought Set in person, but Set's servants Paul Destine, Naga, Llyra, and Ghaur have been involved in many of the terrible things that have happened to him and Atlantis over the years.
** ''X-Men: Grand Design'' reveals that Namor is this to the mutant race as a whole due to him flooding New York in his battle with the [[ComicBook/HumanTorch1939 original Human Torch]], which was one of the first major catastrophes to be caused by mutant abilities. This caused discrimination against mutants to skyrocket across the globe and stay that way ever since.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: Attacked by two Sentinels, Namor tore off one of the robot's arms and used it to smash its companion to bits.
* HairTriggerTemper: Just ''try'' and talk to him without setting him off. It'll be funny.
* HamToHamCombat: Put him in a room with Doctor Doom or ComicBook/{{Magneto}} and watch the ham fly.
** The time that the three of them (Namor, Doom, and Magneto) staged an intervention for the ComicBook/BlackPanther stands as a crowning achievement.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: When he was first introduced in 1939, he was written as a WellIntentionedExtremist VillainProtagonist, someone who'd basically kill any human civilian because we're all responsible for the sorry state of the ocean. UsefulNotes/WorldWarII drafted him onto the heroic side, as he started aiming his rage at the Axis powers. Since his Silver Age return he's mostly been one of the good guys, but can turn on the other good guys at the drop of a hat.
* HeroInsurance: Thanks to his membership in ComicBook/TheDefenders.
* HotBlooded: Namor is not famous for being calm and reserved.
* {{Jerkass}}: He occasionally has his genuine non self-serving PetTheDog moments, but those are very, very rare. On most occasions, his "nice" moments are just ploys to butter people up into giving him what he wants, and he's generally one of the biggest douchebags in the entire MU. And note that Namor being a huge dick made him one of the very first comic book superheroes to actually have a ''personality''.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: One notable example is an issue of ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' in which Reed Richards had returned [[DeathIsCheap after it was believed he was dead]] and found Namor assaulting his wife and attempting to kidnap her. Furious, Reed attacked, they fought, and Namor, after realizing at long last that Sue genuinely loved her husband, purposefully [[ThrowingTheFight lost the fight]] and pretended to be knocked unconscious so that Reed would feel better and regain his confidence. It was implied that he did so in order to win Sue's heart at a later point in time.
* KickTheDog: During ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'' he sank Wakanda. While he could be excused for that, because he was possessed by the Phoenix Force at that time, his unwillingness to apologize to ComicBook/BlackPanther during ''ComicBook/NewAvengers'' was really a dickish move. After Wakanda retaliated with an equally devastating attack on Atlantis, Namor really crossed the line by willingly allying himself with Thanos' forces in order to strike Wakanda even harder than before.
* KissingCousins:
** With Namora. They almost married in ''ComicBook/AgentsOfAtlas''.
** His late wife Lady Dorma was also apparently a cousin. And Namora's daughter Namorita did at one point hope to have this with Namor when she was younger, but eventually got over her crush. Atlanteans obviously don't have a cousin incest taboo. (In fairness, though, Namor's family ''are'' [[RoyalInbreeding royalty]].)
* KryptoniteFactor: If he's separated from water for too long, he loses much of his strength. He also needs open air from time to time, due to his mixed parentage.
* LargeHam: See HamToHamCombat, above.
* LaserGuidedKarma: During ''ComicBook/FearItself'', Namor was robbed of his confidence, giving him a bit of payback for seventy years of being a jackass. He gets it again in the new ''ComicBook/SquadronSupreme'' series, with the first issue focusing on [[spoiler: the Squadron destroying Atlantis and killing Namor as judgment for his past crimes.]]
* LetsYouAndHimFight: Due to Namor being a noble guy but still for lack of a better term, a dick, this still happens even with heroes that know him.
* LightningBruiser: Strong enough to slug it out with some of Marvel's heaviest hitters, not to mention terrifyingly fast.
* LookingForLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces: Well known for his pursuit of the married Susan Richards. Which other than his late wife is probably his longest relationship.
** Actually a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]]: Namor immediately called off his attempts to actually take her from Reed as soon as they were legally married. Namor does nevertheless remain deeply romantically attracted to her and once took up his pursuit again when Sue had filed for divorce (Reed never signed and they eventually reconciled).
* MamasBabyPapasMaybe: [[spoiler:In the 2012 ''[[ComicBook/TheDefenders Defenders]]'' run, a childhood memory of his mother hiding a picture of herself, Leonard [=McKenzie=] and Captain Nemo from him, along with the discovery of a copy of the picture within the sunken Nautilus, brought up the question if [[Literature/TwentyThousandLeaguesUnderTheSea Captain Nemo]] might be Namor's father.]] Not that Namor could care at this stage of his life.
* MercurysWings: Ankle wings are a characteristic of Atlanteans. They work equally well in the water or air.
* MrFanservice: He spent most of his publication history running around in nothing more than swimming trunks. He's dressed up some since then but he still likes to show off his arms and chest.
* {{Mutants}}: Being a HalfHumanHybrid, Namor is considered one even among most of the Atlantean people. He's a somewhat different type of mutant than the others in the Marvel Universe (as he's an Atlantean mutant rather than a human mutant; his human half is 100% "normal"), but that's usually not considered important. At one point he was lodging with the ComicBook/XMen on their new artificial island.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: In the Atlantean language, "Namor" means "the avenging son."
* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: In recent years, he's been subjected to more than a few ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'' jokes. He was not amused [[PopCulturalOsmosisFailure once he figured out what they were]].
* OffingTheOffspring: To be fair, the offspring in question was a long lost and unknown bad seed that tried to kill him and drive Atlantis to war.
* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler: Namor is killed in the first issue of the 2015 ''ComicBook/SquadronSupreme'' series. As revenge for Namor's past crimes (including destroying Dr. Spectrum's Earth while dealing with an incursion event) and the various times Atlantis has invaded the surface world, the new Squadron destroys Atlantis and Namor's head is cut off by Hyperion.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: Namor was born in the 1920's, teamed up with Captain America during World War II, and still looks like a man in the prime of his life. Justified due to his half-Atlantean physiology.
* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: He is part-mutant, part-Atlantean. Pure-blood Antlanteans are also humanoid but have blue skin.
* PermaStubble: Recently he has grown a stubble beard to represent his growing mental instability.
* PointyEars: His ears are pointy. This is something he shares with most Atlanteans.
* PretenderDiss: During ''Atlantis Attacks (2019)'' when facing Amadeus Cho in his Brawn form, he's completely unimpressed and beats him up until he turns to his Hulk form.
* {{Pride}}: Even taking into account that he's a king, Namor's default attitude is ''incredibly'' prideful.
* RealMenLoveJesus: Namor is a follower of the traditional Atlantian religion of [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Neptune worship]]. The sea god is one of the few beings Namor will speak to with civility and appears to have genuine respect for. In return, Neptune has aided Namor several times over the years from providing counsel, armor and weapons, to restoring him to life. Of course, this respect does not extend to the rest of the Olympian gods whom Namor treats with the same disdain he does everyone else.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: The prince or king of Atlantis (depending on the story) is willing to fight battles himself or at the front of his army. His royal styling appears to actually be Prince of Atlantis, though not as in "son of the current reigning king".
* SdrawkcabName: WordOfGod is that Bill Everett was just writing noble sounding names backwards and liked the result from writing "Roman" backwards the best.
* ShellShockedVeteran: The 2018 Invaders comic claims that he has been this ever since World War II, from his service with the Invaders.
* SociopathicHero: Namor is so arrogant that combined with his hair-trigger temper it causes him to have little to no empathy for most people and be willing to kill billions if he thinks it is for the greater good. He has trouble having empathy with others and responds to pretty much every offense with extreme rage.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: DependingOnTheWriter Namor has the ability to telepathically communicate with several different forms of sea life.
* SplitPersonalityTakeover: The 2018 Invaders series addresses his drastic shift post-Secret Wars into being aggressively militant as the result of a failed attempt to treat his PTSD. Charles Xavier, natch, tried to patch his trauma by giving him a mental projection based on a comrade from the war who died in battle that went off the rails and began taking over his body against his will and committing his more violently arrogant actions for the sake of Atlantis. Now it's reaching an endgame of pushing him into assimilating the surface. This is also apparently the reason for his erratic behavior over the years.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Is most well known [[WalkingShirtlessScene for wearing basically a green speedo and not much else]]. In ''ComicBook/{{Marvels}}'', he wears ''[[FullFrontalAssault nothing]]''. [[EvenTheGuysWantHim He has the body to get away with it.]]
* SuperStrength: One of the handful of people who can get into a fistfight with ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk and survive.
* SuperheroSobriquets: Namor is also occasionally known as "The Avenging Son of Atlantis". His name ''means'' "avenging son".
* ThirdPersonPerson: Namor speaks about Namor like this. It emphasizes his arrogance.
* TheVoiceless: Namor doesn't say a ''word'' in ''Sub-Mariner: The Depths.'' That doesn't stop him from being [[http://cammyscomiccorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/scroll21.jpg freaking]] [[http://40.media.tumblr.com/7cf1f2fb6740b72c91fc38035c93bb63/tumblr_nav51e38ov1rom810o1_1280.jpg terrifying.]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: About half the time in whatever team he's in at the moment.
* TongueTrauma: Namor ripped out Venom II's tongue after a scuffle, stating that Gargan should talk less while trying to take on somebody out of his league.
* UnderwearOfPower: Formerly, and it's scaly!
* UnstoppableRage: A ''lot'', but if you really want to see it in full force, refer to any time he runs into Llyra, who killed his first wife and was responsible for the death of his father.
* UrExample: Of a lot of things, really, but mostly of the comic book FlyingBrick (Superman predates him in publication, but Namor had the power set before Superman did), of the comic book AntiHero, of the comic book AntiVillain... the list goes on.
* VillainsOutShopping: Sometimes when he's out on the surface world, its not to launch an attack or invasion, it's just to get himself a bagel which Atlantis doesn't have.
* VillainousWidowsPeak: For a given definition of "villainous", but he sure sports a distinctive one.
* VitriolicBestBuds: ComicBook/BuckyBarnes can tease Namor with impunity. He also has a similar relationship with The Hulk.
* WarriorPrince: Namor was doing this back when he was still only a Prince (and he's still generally referred to as such, despite being the King of Atlantis). This is, almost without exception, the cause of any perceived villainy in his publishing history: it's all either in the name of protecting or avenging Atlantis.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Most of the time, all he really wants is a blonde and/or cleaner oceans. No matter what he's after, however, he'll always be a total dick about it.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: No matter how many times one betrays the other, Namor and Doctor Doom usually will always find themselves back in each other's good graces down the line. No one is sure why, because they're both smart enough that they really should know better than to trust each other, ever. It's pretty well-established that Namor is one of the few people that Doom genuinely ''likes''. What's a little betrayal between friends? By now, they probably take it as given. One could even argue that it is a mutual dislike for a certain Mr. Fantastic.
* WorthyOpponent: As much of an asshole as he is, Namor respects people who can either give him a run for his money or who are just doggedly persistent despite being hopelessly outmatched, as was the case with Daredevil.
