10 Worst Things Namor Has Ever Done

5. He's Been Attacking The Surface Since His Debut - Fantastic Four #4 (1962)

When the Fantastic Four first met Namor, he was suffering amnesia and living as a beggar. When the FF helped him regain his memory, Namor swam back to Atlantis to reunite with his people.

But when he discovered most of his home had been destroyed by nuclear weapons, he was overcome with rage, and launched a sea monster on New York City. Although the Fantastic Four stopped his assault, little did they know the Submariner would return.

Like... a lot. Soon after, he tried to make the United Nations recognise him as the absolute ruler of the surface world. When this plan failed, Namor teamed up with the Hulk to fight the Avengers. After that, the wing-footed mutant allied with the alien, Vuk, and tried to use his technology to take over the planet.

And then he tried to kill the superheroes of Earth... about 50 more times. (That's not even including all of the times he's unleashed his Atlantean army on the surface world.) Considering he has fed his enemies to sharks, flooded cities, and declared war on society more times than one can count, it's mind-boggling how anyone could perceive Namor as anything except an enemy to mankind.
