The power description is full of mistakes again, but the history is pretty nice. They even had all his Golden Age stuff there. Hehe, 572 billion dollars worth of damage upon Nazi Germany.
And says that he has killed thousands of Nazis too. Glad they have acknowledged that.

so the namor/wolverine fight went differently than i'd anticipated [their history of beating eachother in the other character's books being my basis of opinion,] and i'm glad to see it. two fights in which logan's claws did next to nothing against namor, and some canadian-chucking punches reminiscent of the hulk's in world war hulk: x-men 2. the sentinel-breaking,-then-slapping also delighted me to no end.
Here's scans of Namor's first fight against Jim Hammond, the original, android, Human Torch, from Marvel Mystery Comics #8, coming at ya from 1940 (!!!). The arc from MMC #8-10 is pretty much the two of them chasing each other around New York, beating the hell out of each other and causing massive amounts of property damage. Here, the Torch finds Namor wrecking the George Washington bridge.
Namor could've easily finished off Jim, but his curiosity over his superpowered foe got the better of him. A mishap on the aerial-sub resulted in Jim getting caught in a giant bubble and floating to safety (I'm not making this up. 40s comics were full of mindcrack). Namor tries to catch the bubble but is unable. Apparently, Namor's weaknesses include hot blondes and bubbles. Who knew?
