I love Namor because he just does not get humans, doesn't really want to, and is totally unapologetic about it. He's like that fabled old grandfather who refuses to learn English even after leaving the old country decades ago. But at the same time, he has this humungous chip on his shoulder, like he's really got something to prove - that he's Atlantean. He might be half-human, but he's fully Atlantean, and that's where all of his loyalties lie.
Atlantean issues are basically his chief motivation for any action, and he's just a total prick about it, which suits me fine, because I tend to love the snarky bastards. I mean, he's going around, flooding New York, and he still thinks he's better than everyone. Just. What?
He's also one of the most blatently sexual characters around. He runs around in a little green speedo 99% of the time, and looks damn good doing it (if you can ignore his classic flat top and pencil thin eyebrows). I always wanted Sue to stick with Reed so Namor could stay single.
