[b]RESPECT NAMOR!This thread is to make clear that what Namor is capable of doing.
Namor is first character of Marvel comics. And only major superhero of DC that has appeared before him is Superman. Namor has his own share of experience in comics. Namor has born in early 1900’s, making him about 100 years old. He is not a stupid character, master of many languages, and has gained a large amount of money because of his intelligence in business. Nobody who has been alive a century can be stupid. Namor has also great fighting skills (best training of Atlantis) and he is master swordsman.
Namor can fly with speeds easily exceeding the 60 mph (Since that one is error from Marvel Directory’s part, none of his handbooks say anything about his flight speed, he can SWIM at 60 mph, and his speed is listed as 3, which can mean the peak range of 700 mph.) Namor is most likely capable of attaining those speeds, since he could easily keep up with WWII fighter planes as a eleven year old.
Here are some best feats that Namor has done over the years. One could argue that he is only Class 85, or that he isn’t even close to the likes of Thor, or Hulk, but you can watch these feats and remove your doubts.
Breaks through the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak in Marvel Team-Up #8, WHILE ON LAND, knocking out Doctor Strange.
And
Dodges an attack coming at him in Mach speeds.
Resists Human Torch who is as hot as Sun (nova), and carries him to water to save his life.
Defeats Captain America and knocks Giant Man out with his shield.
Dodges multiple lasers fired at him.
Is freed from dozens of tons of ice after he has gained only few drops of water.
Holds his breath for minutes in space.
Defeats Sunfire, showing amazing mobility in air (60 mph…🙄 ).
Lifts fully loaded tanker (about 110,000 tons without any load, nearly 200,000 with load)
All of these feats were done by old school “Class 85” Namor.
I’m going to continually update this thread when I find more Namor feats. Meanwhile, enjoy the others.

hey DC where those white markings always standard for atlanteans or are they only for some high class atlanteans?
the white markings, as i know it, were the artist's interpretation of what namorita looked like after her kymaera phase; i believe post-camoflague, as well. why this other atlantean has them, but those appearing in other civil war titles don't, i have no idea. artistic license, perhaps?

Illuminati Mini-Series!

OMG! 😱
There is an whole issue that centers on him. 😄
"There is also an issue that's very Inhumans-heavy, as well as one that addresses Namor's very fickle relationship with the Marvel Universe. After all, how can you have this character in a group, when every third day, he's attacking the surface world?"
Also, a plus, more Black Bolt. ✅
And Jim Cheung will be drawing it...his art in Young Avengers was great, this will be cool.
