205.188.117.66You gotta know by now, I'm a Namor power freak. The most powerful amphibian on planet earth needs to be recognized.
1)Namor reigns in the seven seas, 2/3 of the earth are his to command. FF heroes reborn #2's narration states: he is possibly the most powerful man on the planet.
2)Namor is the chosen one blessed by King Neptune himself, as ruler of Atlantis.
3)Namor can live on both land and sea and has both lungs and gills.
4)Namor has lifted well over the 75 to 100 tons the handbook suggests. His 2 most incredible feats of strength was the lifting and steadying of a 110,000 ton tanker and breaking the Crimson Bands Of Cytorrak.
5)Namor has the power of the blind cave fish. His version of radar sense can locate Sue Storm when she is invisible.
6)Namor can absorb millions of volts of electricity, like a giant eel, and expell it offensively.
7)Namor's puffer fish power not only has him expanding his girth but he can load himself with the fishes poison tetrodoxin which is about a thousand times deadlier than cyanide. This has never been used, yet.
8)Namor can fly. It's been stated in the handbook that Namor may have the power of telekinesis, since his ankle wings are too small to sustain flight.
9)Namor can swim faster than anything under the sea.
10)Last but not least, Namor is the richest man on planet earth. Not only from the gold, etc. from sunken ships but he has all the natural resources and richness of the sea itself.
There's my top 10. Not bad for a character that doesn't have his own deserved book.

ps I never even mentioned in my top 10 that Namor has beaten or stalemated in battle:
Hulk
Hercules
Thing
Abomination
Orca
Silver Surfer
Thor
Iron Man
Goliath
Dragon Man
Wolverine (Forget that crap from Invaders, check out Namor's 90's series for their brief and furious battle)
Namor can also trash talk. My favorite:
"How does it feel, bestial one, to have landed your most potent blows, and still I survive to defy you!" Namor to Hulk, TTA #100
