Namor the Sub-Mariner is a fictional character featured in the Marvel Comics Universe, and one of the oldest superhero characters.

The son of a human sea captain and of a princess of the mythical undersea kingdom of Atlantis, he possesses the super-strength and aquatic abilities of the “Homo mermanus” race. Through the years, he has been alternatively portrayed as a good-natured but short-fused superhero, or a hostile invader seeking vengeance for perceived wrongs that misguided surface-dwellers committed against his kingdom.

The first known comic book anti-hero, the Sub-Mariner has remained a historically important and relatively  popular Marvel character.

Electrical Generation: Much like an eel he is able to generate a massive burst of electricity.

  • He can do this once per week.
  • The electricity inflicts 20d6 damage to anyone that Namor is touching.
  • In the water it causes the damage over a 60 ft radius.
  • Anyone that is not grappled by Namor can attempt a Reflex save (DC 30) for half damage.

Half-Atlantean: As the son of an Atlantean princess and a human. This has made him much more powerful than either species. His unique physiology is suited to both land and the sea though he excels in the latter.

  • Able to breathe both water and air
  • Wings on his feet allowing Namor to fly
  • Resistance to extreme ocean pressure and able to operate normally in water as if he had freedom of movement

King of Atlantis: As the future King of Atlantis Sub-Mariner has received intense training in combat and skills to help him lead his nation.

  • Bonus feats as a fighter of his hit die.
  • Moderate Defense
  • His Leadership skill provides  10x the typical number of followers.

Superhuman Strength Level 4

Sub-Mariner possesses superhuman strength and is able to lift 16x what his Strength score indicates.

  • +8 bonus on melee damage
  • +4 bonus on grapple and  bull rush checks.
  • When in contact with water, Namor increases to Superhuman Strength Level 9. This applies for 1 minute after  leaving the water.

Water Mastery

Sub-Mariner gains a +10 bonus to attacks, damage, armor class, and saves so long as he is submerged in water. This bonus applies for 1 minute after leaving the water.

Drawbacks:

Sub-Mariner must return to water periodically or he begins to weaken. After one day Sub-Mariner is fatigued, the next day he is exhausted. For each day after that he takes 1d6 points of vitality damage that cannot be healed until he is able to reach water. This damage never inflicts wound damage. If he is submerged in water for a full round he will instantly recover from the exhaustion and regains the lost vitality points at a rate of 10 points per round.

Sub-Mariner is partially vulnerable to fire and heat, which dries him out. If struck by a fire attack he must make a Fort save (DC=damage inflicted) or be affected just as if he had been out of water for 24 hours.
