When Namor first made contact with the surface world during World War II, he agreed to help the Allies, to ensure the Nazis didn't attack Atlantis. Even though he fought alongside humans, Namor had little respect for them, gleefully mocking them to Captain America on a regular basis.

But when the war ended, Namor learned he was banished from Atlantis, forcing him to live with Cap's friend, Randall Peterson. After being exposed to Randall's kindheartedness, Namor's resentment towards mankind dissolved. The two became friends, and Namor was nice enough to save Randall's life on two occasions.

Despite the fact Randall helped shaped the best side of Namor, his final encounter with him ended in tragedy. 70 years after they met, Namor declared war on the surface (for the 512th time). During this battle, Namor fought Captain America, who happened to be near Randall's home. Despite being elderly and very ill, Randall rose from his bed and berated Namor, saying he had lost sight of who he once was.

Sadly, Randall got so worked up, he died of a heart attack. Acknowledging his actions led to the death of his most devoted friend, Namor fled from the scene in tears.
