History: (Strange Tales V#3/12) - Namor was attacked by a giant King Crab who sought revenge for their previous encounter. Despite breaking free from a chokehold of the crab's pincer, Namor was unable to withstand further attacks and had to plead for his life. Namor was about to be crushed when he was unexpectedly saved by Mister Fantastic, who was alerted to the crab's disturbance. Reed Richards used his stretching powers to get the crab away from Namor, who humbly admitted Reed's superiority and bowed before his savior. Reed urged Namor to escape in the Fantasticar, but Namor had to first tell Doctor Doom, who had recently moved in with him, to water the plants.

(Strange Tales V#3/12 - BTS) - These events were glimpsed in a dream by Mister Fantastic of Earth-616.

   After Mister Fantastic woke up from his dream, it is revealed that in his reality Doctor Doom had indeed moved in as Namor's roommate. Despite the obvious comedic nature of the gag, it is not expanded beyond a single panel which could potentially be set on Earth-616.

   This profile was completed 07/16/2026, but its publication was delayed as it was intended for the Appendix 25^th anniversary 's celebratory event to represent Namor's 2010s characters and stories.
