Summary “At 5:34 AM, Jon Dies…His face pressed into the dirt.” –Narrator Batman Killing Time #3 -A shocking heist has the mysterious and deadly figure called “The Help” cutting his way through Gotham…
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 18: TIGER SHARK
Hard to believe, but yes, Tiger Shark and Namor did team-up before Jason Aaron’s Defenders of the Deep story. One time. Once.
In the awesome Bob Harras and Jae Lee Suma-Ket arc, we find a less … villainous Tiger Shark living under the name Arlys, married to an Atlantean, and expecting a child! Of course, such happiness can’t last, and the family is attacked by the Faceless Ones. Tamara Rahn saves Tiger Shark, but not before his pregnant wife is killed. Tamara convinces Tiger Shark he can pursue his vengeance by allying with Namor and Atlantis, as they learn that the Faceless Ones are minions of Suma-Ket and Artys Gran!
Of course, Namor and Tiger Shark’s actual team-Up mostly involves them arguing / fighting or getting chained up together. Hmmmmm.
And when Namor loses to Suma-Ket, Tiger Shark isn’t exactly … sad.
While we never have seen this more … rational Tiger Shark again, I’ve always wanted to see writers develop this particular Namor rogue more fully. GIven he actually was made with Namor’s DNA, I think he’s full of potential.
