10 Worst Things Namor Has Ever Done

2. He Flooded Wakanda - Avengers Vs The X-Men #7-8 (2012)

During the Avengers vs the X-Men saga, the superheroes attempted to destroy the Phoenix Force before it bonded with Hope Summers. After the cosmic deity was blasted with a Phoenix-Killer weapon, its essence was merged with the five people who were standing closest to it - Cyclops, Magik, Emma Frost, Colossus, and Namor.

At first, The Phoenix Five assured their comrades that the godlike power wouldn't corrupt them. But after the cosmically powered quintet discovered their teammates intended to strip the Phoenix from their bodies, they took matters into their own hands.

When Namor learned the superheroes were hiding in Wakanda, he used his powers to flood the kingdom, which resulted in the deaths of thousands.

At first, you'd think Namor's abominable actions could be justified a little since he was under the influence of the Phoenix Force. But after the alien entity left his body, Namor didn't seem bothered by what he had done.

What makes Namor's attack more perverse is the fact he committed genocide on a nation ruled by Black Panther, who the Submariner perceived as a trusted ally.
