10 Superheroes Who Have Committed Murder

6. Namor The Submariner

Batman Kills A Man
Marvel Comics

The Atlantean mutant, Namor McKenzie, has ruled as the king of Atlantis for many years. Although he perceives himself as a good man and has allied with the Avengers many times, his first priority is his kingdom. To protect his home, he has found himself at odds with heroes like Wolverine, Iron Man, and Captain America several times.

Because of this, Namor the Submariner would be categorised as an anti-hero rather than a superhero. But since he has teamed up with the X-Men, the Invaders, and the Avengers, I had to include him in this list. Despite his arrogance and legendary temper, many heroes saw Namor as their ally and friend.

Sadly, that ship sailed when he was possessed by the Phoenix Force in the AvsX story. The superheroes of Earth believed they had to stop him before he was consumed by his godlike power. Refusing to give up his godhood, Namor used his water-controlling powers to create a tidal wave that wiped out most of Black Panther's home nation, Wakanda, ending thousands of innocent lives.

With Black Panther's home left in tatters, Namor has never been less popular with the surface dwellers.
