Marvel's Avengers: 10 DLC Characters Who MUST Appear
2. Namor
Yeah, yeah, another mutant...
Like Deadpool though, Namor is far less connected to the X-Men and their wider lore, so he could debut here without upsetting the apple cart of an eventual X-Men game. The same couldn’t be said for the likes of Wolverine, Jean Grey or Mystique, however cool it would be to play as them.
With multiple hubworlds, Atlantis seems the perfect choice. It allows Namor (and potentially a supporting cast with the likes of Namora) to offer players something completely different to basically anything all of the other heroes Marvel can muster.
As an arrogant, headstrong and often just villainous antihero, he’s sure to clash with those around him too. The essence of drama is conflict, and again gives Namor a unique selling point compared to other dark horse DLC characters who may arise.
The time is definitely right for Namor too. He was left out of Fox’s X-Men series entirely, and was teased in Endgame with Okoye talking about an earthquake off the coast of Wakanda.
If he’s joining the MCU in Phase 4 as many expect, then joining Marvel’s Avengers is a logical step for the Submariner.
