But how about a story where he gets pissed off at everyone, above and below the surface?
We start with Namor discovering a previously unknown deep sea trench near Europe:
OK, bad guys then!
But Namor gets away...because he packs a shiv!!
Octopussies!!
Anyway, humans--European humans, at least--are dickweeds, too!
Wait!!
You're talking to a hybrid mutant ruler of an amphibious race--one who saved your hash during WWII--and you have doubts about the existence of octopus men?!? Are you mad?
Well, you can guess what happens immediately.
Man, I love that panel. Bill Everett rules, guys.
Of course, the humans come crawling to Namor for help now...
Again...people need to say "Bah!" in comics more often!!
The funny part--they still don't believe Namor. It can't be octopus men--it must be Americans!!
The EU (or whatever, I'm on a roll) used depth charges to seal up most of the tunnels. Fortunately for America's sake...there are a couple of stragglers left!
So now Namor hates everyone, under and over the sea. We all suck!!
I think Namor just needs his own planet, where he won't have to interact with anyone for awhile!
By the way, lest you scoff at octopus men...
...this video clearly shows that octopi only about 5 minutes away from evolving enough to murder us all in our beds.
So, when Namor warns you about octopus men, you'd damned well better listen!!
I do have to admit to having a bit of a soft spot for Namor. He is just so... so cranky. And a bit of a diva. But what really amazes me, is where on earth did he hide that knife?
