Look, let's be blunt.
Namor is
stupid.
I mean, sure, he's big, and powerful, and
one gorgeous hunk or mer-mutant:
That panel was just for you,
Sally...
Anyway, as you read (if you could take your eyes of those
rippling muscles),
Subby is after
Attuma.
By no small coincidence (since this is
their book, after all), the
Avengers are after him too:
Well, that's it, right? Attuma is rousted by the Avengers' B-Team, and the Sub-Mariner is there and pissed. The warlord is
done for, right?
Sadly, no. Because
Namor=stupid. And Attuma knows it:
Yup. Namor falls for the most ridiculous trick in the book. And during the melee, Attuma gets away with the super-scientific device he's stolen. So well played,
Prince of the Seas!!
It's too late to do much good, but at least
Wonder Man can give Namor some educatin'...from
the School Of Hard Fists!!
Sigh...why are all the beautiful ones so stupid?
