Marvel Comics presents "Namor: The First Mutant" #1, now available, from the creative team of Stuart Moore and Ariel Olivetti."...A stunning 'Curse Of The Mutants' tie-in, this new ongoing series puts 'Namor' on a path with his deadliest foes yet—'Atlantean Vampires' hell-bent on destroying his kingdom. When vampires infest the depths of the dark ocean floor, the 'Sub-Mariner' must make a life-altering decision…does he stand with 'Atlantis' or the 'X-Men'?
"Namor takes matters into his own hands on a mission that might bring down the entire might of the vampires on their heads and in the process, destroy Atlantis. What lurks down below the ocean where the sun can't reach? Namor's choice, will define a new chapter in his life...or death..."
Created in 1939 by writer/illustrator Bill Everett, 'Namor' was born in the capital city of the Atlantean empire, located off the Antarctic coast, the offspring of 'Fen', the daughter of 'Atlantean Emperor Thakorr' and American sea captain, 'Leonard McKenzie', of the icebreaker 'Oracle'. When Fen failed to return from investigating the ship's presence, Thakorr sent soldiers to attack the Oracle, thinking that she had been captured, not realizing that Fen was having sex with McKenzie. 
In the ensuing attack, McKenzie was killed and Fen returned to her kingdom. Nine months later, a pink-skinned child was born among the blue-skinned Atlanteans. He was raised in Atlantis, and when he matured, he would alternate between living there and adventuring in the oceans, with his Atlantean woman 'Namora', and on the surface, becoming the 'Prince of Atlantis' and a warrior to his people.
In 2006, Universal Pictures reported that director Jonathan Mostow was attached to rewrite and direct Marvel Studios' "Sub-Mariner", for producer Kevin Misher through his Misher Films, based on a screenplay by David Self.
Marvel Studios are currently re-booting "The Fantastic Four", with a nod to 'The Invisible Girl' (aka 'Sue Storm') and her overwhelming love infatuation with Namor.
