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 17: HOPE SUMMERS
Namor and Hope Summers had few interactions during Namor’s time with the X-Men, but they were memorable!
I don’t know if Kieron Gillen had read Namor and Namorita’s stories, but he certainly picked up on the entertaining dynamic between them in Bill Everett’s stories, and then updated it with a twist.
This final scene between is perfect, pure Gillen gold, and showcases how awesome they are together. I mean how many times do we see Namor relaxed and trusting enough to joke with someone?
Namor and Hope had another team-up in the Escape From the Negative Zone arc, where Namor is for some reason driven violently psychotic by the arid conditions of the Negative Zone (yet this lack of water doesn’t seem to effect Namor’s strength). Hope absorbs Namor’s mutant ability to keep him occupied as they escape back to Earth. And Hope shares how she really feels about Namor.
Sadly, the final team-up, I believe, was after AvX. Hope may have been the only person to ask about Namor after being possessed by the Phoenix.
And Hope is the only person who Namor has even tried to talk with about his experience.

Nathan Christopher Summers was born into a battle. And his life was a war. All the time I knew him, he grabbed sleep in ten-minute stretches. Ate with his back to a wall. Never sat still long enough to make an easy target. You know what I mean. All of you know what I mean. He was a soldier. To the last ounce and inch of him, Cable was a soldier. And there are three blessings a soldier prays for. To fight for things that matter — things that are real. To find comrades who he loves and trusts, to fight alongside him. And to die on his feet. My dad got three for three. So don’t cry for him. N-nobody. Nobody needs to cry for Nathan Summers.
