The Namor the Sub-Mariner 2020 Advent Calendar

Welcome  to a Namor Advent Calendar!  Have a bit of Namor cheer for each of the  24 days till Christmas! This year I’ll be highlighting Namor Team-Ups!

DAY 20:  MAN-THING

I think this is the only time Namor and Man-Thing (sort of) team-up and it was a poetic, trippy art masterpiece!  I say ‘sort of’ because Man-Thing seemed to be possessed by other spirits, or versions of himself.  This team-up doesn’t start with a fight, but by a Neptune directed quest to the Nexus of All Realities …

… where he meets Man-Thing who ‘sings’ to him.  “Child of the sea,” it caroled.  “Child of the earth.  A wounded, raging soul from birth.  Devil’s ears, angel’s wings …”  – which is such a perfect take on Namor.

They end up going to the ancient past, and visiting Atlantis before it sank, and encounter the Atlantean goddess Cleito, to fulfill their quest.
