In Invaders, does #2, Marvel’s Namor becomes a villain and taking the powers of DC Comic’s Aquaman, sound like a marvel vs DC heroes face-off? Namor happens to be a Sub-Mariner and an Avenger. Although not the strongest of the characters in marvel universe but strong enough to knock the Hulk out when the two face each other. He is also strong enough to survive an atomic bomb.

A Sub-Mariner and
King of Atlantis, Namor is an extremely strong Alpha-level mutant because of
his human and Atlantean heritage. He has joined forces with the Avengers,
X-Men, and Defenders to save the world on numerous occasions. However, he over the
past several issues of Avengers has become much more of a villain than a hero. Owing
to his passion to save Atlantis from humanity, he has started an aggressive
campaign to kick humans out of the oceans.

His passion has set
him on a collision course for an all-out war with the surface world. However,
for him to be able to conquer, he upgraded his power levels by stealing some
substantial new abilities from an unlikely source. In the issue, Captain
America traveled to Atlantis to talk Namor out of the war. While on the
mission, Captain America was intercepted by Atlantean forces and arrested.

During his
incarceration, he saw Hydro-Man already incarcerated in an Atlantean cell. When
Namor and Captain America later had a fight, he revealed that he stole the
minor villain’s water-manipulating powers. Also, during their fight, he told
the Captain that he is “more powerful than ever.”

Furthermore, he still
wielded part of the Phoenix Force’s large cosmic power during 2012’s Avengers
vs. X-Men crossover that would make him one of Marvel’s many harmful villain
ever. He was able to use his new abilities to create an air bubble where he and
the Captain talked after their fight. However, the King of Atlantis discovered
a much more devastating use for his new abilities in Invaders #1.

Namor Confronts the Sea Blades

Armed with the new ideology,
Namor confronted the Sea Blades, an independent enclave of rebel Atlantean
soldiers. When he approached them, he flooded their underwater city with a
bubble of suffocating air until they surrendered. He took the display of his
new abilities to a whole new dimension by using it in a much more outstanding way
than how Hydro-Man had ever done with the same power.

Morris Bench’s body
was transformed into living water in Dennis O’Neil and John Romita Jr.’s
Amazing Spider-Man #212. The change earned him a B-list villain
position although he gained the ability to control water outside his body. His
occasionally contended with Spider-Man or the fantastic four but remained an
underachiever.

Since the creation of
Namor by bill Everett in the 1930s, he has had a series of powers which have
changed through the years. compared to DC’s underwater heroes like Mera and
Aquaman (occasionally), this is the first time he acquired such hydrokinetic
water-manipulating power. Besides the new powers, he has mostly consolidated
efforts to wage war on surface dwellers by expanding his aqua-territory. He
recruits water-themed heroes and villains to form the Defenders of the Deep to
tighten his grip over the oceans of the world.
While Namor muscles
strength and men to invade the surface world with full power and rage, Captain
America is ready to stop him. actions continue in Invaders #3, created by Chip
Zdarsky, Carlos Magno and Butch Guice to be released on the 27th day of March.
