The thing I really loved about Prince Namor was, even though he wasn't huge, he could go toe to toe with some of Marvel's heavyweights.

[brianjohnson]

Nearly 40 minutes on Namor? Time to pull up a chair .... the best thing about this story is that it doesn't just deal with Namor, but the history of his Atlantean nation and Lemuria. Props to the Merry Marvelite!!!

[AtomixIGN]

It is so extraordinarily strange for me to watch one of these kind of videos and be completely beguiled with information I had no idea about. Usually anything before like 1995 - I know absolutely every tiny aspect. This was mind-blowing.

[kurtpatterson]

Namor could very well be Marvel comics very first character. When you research Namor it says he first appeared in Marvel Comics number 1 in 1939.Namor appears before the original Human Torch, unrelated to the Fantastic Four, and before the original WW2 Captain America. Namor also appears in Marvel comics before D.C. comics Aquaman.

And this is I love this channel. Always pure gold.

Also this narrator is so full of enthusiasm.

[derricklogan]

This is a history which I either didn't know or don't remember reading it. It was difficult, as a child, to collect comic books during the early 70's as I entered into my early teens. The only store near me was probably 3 miles from where I lived that sold comic books. I bought some Namor: The Mighty Submariner and The Invaders! Also, I loved The Fantastic Four, The Incredible Hulk and The Amazing Spiderman which helped me with Science in school.

[BigBennKlingon]

It's amazing how much story they were able to wrap around and intertwine with Sum-Mariner's origin tale.

[robkenner]

I like how the tagline for the Avengers was used for the Invaders in this video

[reyn_rocksrantsrealtalk]

Great job. Man those old Kirby splash panels were so f'n good.

[trexadvent]

It's about time you did the History of Namor the Submariner and this is awesome and totally worth waiting for

[Shatterglass]

Namor is one of my favorite characters and I honestly think you've done the best job representing him. Better than Comics Explained or any body else on YouTube. THANK YOU😊

[ricardomachado]

Namor is among my favourites heroes, together with Spiderman, Captain America and Thor. I'm fascinated with the Atlantis mythology and all the characters from the seas. Hope MARVEL bring all these realm to the cinemas soon.

[mtrich]

When I was a kid I used to read stories of the submariner in bits and pieces, this video really help me connect the dots.

[roadscholarwarrior]

YES..! I requested this a while back.. thanks for putting the spotlight on my all time favorite character: NAMOR..!

[stefanosprokopis]

The person that made this video is a true prince of the blood

[TheRealVicSage]

I’m glad you did a video about Namor. I’ve read some reprints of the golden age books, but other than the modern incarnations of the character, I’m fairly clueless. You cleared up a lot for me. Imperious Rex!

[ericcolquitt]

Outstanding!!!! I love Namor The Sub-mariner. He is one of my favorite characters of Marvel Comics.

[michaelcruz]

TY!!! Namor was always a dope underrated character

[blackthorne]

Great back story of the Sub Mariner. I'm a long time collector of all things comic characters and had no idea of some the more in depth background of Alantis, Lemuria and Sub Mariner. Good storytelling.

[funzjag]

Imperious Rex to you, Sir !!! Great Subby video. It's long and detailed, the perfect length for me to be entertained while fixing dinner. This channel is always enjoyable and always entertaining. 'Nuff said!
