Its not really a secret, lol, I just didn't think people would want to know more but I can tell you the summary/conclusion for the entire thing is an epic high stakes underwater adventure with Namor it's center where he has to save Atlantis and the World, it includes Atlantean gods/goddesses as well as sea creatures, myths, monsters, Namor's villains and allies. It has Atlantean court intrigue and secrets. However I have outlined much of this story with all my comic research but at this point I am barely brushing through the end of the Invaders era in terms of completed writing. I have the first 2 chapters posted on Archive of Our Own, however it's basically a prelude that describes the creation of the Goddess Cleito and the Wreck of the Endurance as seen in Namor, the Sub-Mariner (1990) #52
It's titled Sub-Mariner: Ascension
I have been going through every era of Namor's life through the 80 years, including as much in canon adventures and references as possible but as you know comics are far from streamlined, so I have been doing my own revisions to have something more cohesive as well as world building Atlantis/background characters. This began as a much smaller project that kinda kept growing these last few years, I feel its because I really wanted to give Namor fans a book about Namor's whole life and then expand beyond the current canon. It's actually become quite novel length so far with chapters devoted to the romance/tragedy of Leo/Fen, and lots of character introspection, how Namor struggles with the responsibilities of the crown and his human/atlantean sides. At it's center it's a story about Namor and how he handles his own destiny and history of Atlantis, the Nexus Fragment plays a huge part as a mystical artifact as well as other Atlantean artifacts. I like to include as much canon as possible because I do enjoy Namor's stories but I just wish it was given more attention to. I hope to have this fanfiction completed in the next year or two (depends on my free time/writing speed) however I know by the end of it I may go back to do some minor changes/rewrites.

I get a sad from these pictures. For what it is worth I think Namor's affection for other women was also quite strong.
He just seems to love the woman not intended to love him/equally back.

Namor the Sub-Mariner, Marvel's oldest character, will have been published for 85 years in 2024. So where's my GOOD Namor anniversary ongoing, Marvel?
I don't know if this will work, but let's see. Marvel Insider offered two Black Light Wallpaper downloads for free and one of them was the Subby and Spidey poster! The other one is the cool FF on a column one.

I think I have posted pictures of this 60s actor before, that is visually who I envision as Namor. Just like Steve Reeves was the inspiration for Jack Kirby's Hercules I've always believe that Italian American actor Mark Forest, real name Lou Degni was the inspiration for Gene Colan's Namor. Lou Degni, previously a bodybuilder like Steve Reeves made many Hercules/Samson/Goliath movies during the 60s. He did probably more movies than Steve Reeves. I used to watch these old films on TV and these and Arnold's films were a big inspiration to me as a young impressionable kid.

Thanks Rev!
Once again I want to point out that Namor is a literal king, why marvel has him simping over Sue a woman who is unavailable and more importantly uninterested for decades is beyond my understanding but then again I like things to make sense, lol.

Maybe Namor is only doing it to make sure Susan doesn't feel taken for granted. ;p
Actually, I live for the day when Namor tells Sue he can't drop everything to do what she wants, while his new wife / love interest makes plans to shove her out of the air lock. heheheheh
Those asofterworld strips are cool! I think I've seen a few others with Namor a while back. But yours are on point!

I was going for maximum feels because when I think about how tragic Namor's love life is I do get emotional (':
Honestly same Rev, I would love a day where Namor goes: you know what? I actually don't have time for this, I have the seas to rule etc. One of my favorite quotes is Namor telling Sue how he can't play hero like her. (sub-mariner (2007) #4)
I get that people want Sue to say "Ew gross Namor stop hitting on me!" for her power girl moment but she has literally said it so many times, they have literally gone over this to death and I'm just tired of Namor being made out to be the creepier who won't let this die, by the writers.
