History:
(Fantastic Four: Season One (fb)) - Namor was a prince of Atlantis and grew up in his undersea homeland.

    On land, Namor collided with the Human Torch (Jim Hammond) and considered him his greatest enemy. The outcome of the battle is unrevealed. The adventures of Namor the Sub-Mariner were documented in comic books that the child Johnny Storm was fond of.

    Under unrevealed circumstances, Namor subsequently lost his memory and went to live in New York under the name Macin, growing a beard and becoming one of the many homeless of the city.

(Fantastic Four: Season One) - Macin was in the lane when sad Ben Grimm passed by and, seeing a real stone man, was surprised.

    Later, Macin was in the crowd during a press conference in which the heroic Fantastic Four debuted. Upon hearing the superhero alias of the Human Torch (Johnny Storm), Macin's memories slowly began to return. Suddenly remembering his skirmish with the original Human Torch many years ago, Macin thought that his old adversary and Johnny Storm were one and the same.



    Macin wandered Clinton Castle, recalling his past. While standing at the fence and looking at Hudson River, he remembered that he was the Prince of Atlantis. An old man acquaintance passing by thought that Macin was going to commit suicide by jumping into the water until Macin called out his real name of Namor and dove into water, heading towards Atlantis.

    In a short span of time, Namor reached Atlantis but found only ruins. He was furious and decided to bring his anger down on the people who could have potentially lead to the death of the once beautiful underwater nation. Floating to the surface, Namor pounced on the first person he came across, a businessman named Harold Alder, and aggressively asked what humanity had done to Atlantis. Passersbys, having heard the mention of Atlantis, directed the Sub-Mariner to the American Museum of Natural History, where was an exhibition inspired by his homeland was on display. Namor subsequently entered the museum and perplexed visitors with his appearance. Looking around, he saw the Horn of Proteus (also called the Trumpet of Glaucus) and broke the showcase, drawing the Fantastic Four's awareness to his presence.

   
    Using the Horn of Proteus, Sub-Mariner called on the monstrous Leviathan. The Invisible Girl (Sue Storm) and Human Torch (Johnny Storm) attempted to stop him but Namor looked at Sue and decided to spare and marry her. However, he did not intend to show mercy to Johnny and attacked him. The Invisible Girl surrounded them with an invisible field, and Human Torch used his power's full potential to destroy all of the oxygen in the force field, weakening himself, but Namor received no damage. During the attack, the Human Torch's flames burned off Namor's beard. Realizing that Johnny was suffocating inside the field, Sue removed it and was attacked by the Sub-Mariner. Destroying the Fantasticar, the Prince of Atlantis then flew away, telling Sue that he could make her his queen.




    Mister Fantastic (Reed Richards) flew to meet with Namor in the Fantasticar. The superhero promised to help the Prince if Namor the Sub-Mariner revealed where Human Torch and Invisible Girl were being held. He replied that the Storms were dead, angering Richards. The ensuing fight was interrupted by the appearance of the still-living Sue and Johnny. From Mister Fantastic, the two learned that the Leviathan, whom Namor had again summoned, was attacking the city. Mister Fantastic stated that Namor needed to remain alive because only he knew how to stop the Leviathan attacking New York. The Prince of Atlantis, however, refused to help, saying that it was impossible to stop the underwater monster. However, the Invisible Girl provided the Horn of Proteus, which she had found underwater and, with the help of the Horn, the superheroes recalled the Leviathan back to the depths of the ocean. Namor was captured.
  
    Namor was placed in a large container in the laboratory of the Fantastic Four. He said he would break out sooner or later, but Sue Storm replied that if he tried to escape, Reed's modernized glass surrounding the detention center "would turn his brain into slurry." Namor looked mockingly at Sue and claimed that she wanted him. Sue, praising the appearance and figure of Namor the Sub-Mariner, called him a pig and said that she preferred Reed Richards.

Comments: Created by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and David Marquez.

    While not revealed in Namor's only appearance in the Season One reality, Namor's last name could be McKenzie and he could potentially be an Atlantean/human hybrid mutant like his Earth-616 counterpart.
