Created in 1939 by Bill Everett, the Sub-Mariner is the first 'Marvel Hero' of the Golden Age of Comics. Son of Leonard McKenzie, Captain of a U.S. Ice Breaker, and Princess Fen of the Royal House of Atlantis, Namor McKenzie (also known as the Sub-Mariner, the Avenging Son of Atlantis, and Subby) has been both beloved and reviled by Humans and Atlantians alike. He is a rare hybrid endowed with great strength, power over the undersea world, the ability to breathe both in and out of water, and the gift of flight. He fought valiantly with the Allies in both the Atlantic and Pacific during World War II. He has been King of Atlantis at times and the C.E.O. of Oracle, Inc. at others, but he has also been exiled from his undersea homeland as a traitor and hunted by the Avengers and the Fantastic Four as a criminal. His adventures span 70 years of history and have been a big part of the fun of comics for me. My thanks to Bill Everett, Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, John Byrne, Marvel Comics and anyone else involved. This is what comics are all about.

For those of you interested I am in the process of putting together a Biography of Namor McKenzie, the Sub-Mariner called The Deep Six Project partly because I think it would be a fun thing to do, but also partly because several people have requested it and are beginning to consider me something of an authority on the subject. However, please realize that I'm only an authority because I've the good luck to have a fairly complete collection of Subby material to research from. I certainly have no official charter or permission from Marvel to create such a thing and therefore the powers that be at Marvel do have the complete authority to invalidate or censor it as they see fit.

Thanks to BriarRabbit :)
