@mmaier2112 But thats what youtube is all about! Check out some of the 3 stooges shorts posted here, to see what I mean. No kidding! ragging political arguements on violent is the name for curly,Sheesh!!
Sub Mariner One of the first super-hero's ever! (SUPERMAN & BATMAN before him) Marvel's first super hero( MOTION PICTURE FUNNIES WEEKLY # 1 Apr.39) Comics first anti hero (he kills!!! Sorry WOLVERINE) and the first in comic books to sprout the pointy ears (sorry Spock!) Prince Namor son of FEN.....Rules! IMPERIOUS REX!!!
I heard a rumor that Marvel was considering a third Fantastic Four movie titled "The Wrath of the Sub-Mariner" but have chosen to go with a relaunch instead. Truly regrettable: as the first Marvel hero, Namor deserves a movie of his own, and his love triangle with Sue Storm and Reed Richards would have been a great launching point.
Was at COMICCON today and at the SUPER HERO TEE SHIRTS section and not one NAMOR! Not one!?! But-BUT!! They had a ANT MAN and HAWK GIRL tee shirt....But no Subby?!? Can you believe it? He is MARVEL'S FIRST SUPER HERO * motion picture funnies weekly Apr, 1939
@uponit57 Well SUB MARINER has AQUAMAN on strength (Orin can lift 50 tons in and out of water) but Orin can summon a Blue Whale which ways over 100 tons (Namor's max.strength) so if he called the whale to jump on him I give it to fin legs! But if it is about arm wrestling or physical endurance I have to go with ole ankle wings
Love it love it! I used to swim in the apartment pool as a kid, and id look dowen at the dool floor and pretend the circle drain filter on the bottom was Atlantis from far away.
To the people having the kids argument, don't you think it's a stupid one? A forum attatched to this should be about remembering the good things about a generation, whether one past or present, because who is raising these kids to be this way? It should be about showing kids the cool things you grew up seeing, like this show.
I remember when I was still small this was really aired in the local noncable channel, I just can't remember which channel. Also in the random turn of Marvel Superheroes this is the most frequent. I don't know why.
For those that that want the actual lyrics here they are....note, the word "demon" is not in the lyrics. This is from the closed caption on the 29 Century Fox Release Tapes :
"Stronger than a whale, he can swim anywhere,
He can breathe underwater and go flying through the air
Most of the 1966 MSH episodes were taken from the actual comic books. However, there was one story that wasn't in Tales to Astonish. Somehow, Namor goes back in time to fight Rome's Emperor Nero. Was this the only "original" TV story that never appeared in a Marvel comic book at that time?
For the less-initiated super-hero fans: Namor, the Sub-Mariner, first appeared in 1939 in Marvel Comics #1. This means Aquaman was based on Subby - not vice versa. In fact, it makes him one of the first super-characters ever. He is more of an anti-hero than hero, although he has usually displayed a nobility and sense of right. I've always loved Sub-Mariner and felt he was never used to his full potential as a character - even to this day. - But one can always hope.
@eradicaar First of all, Namor is far stronger and has similar powers otherwise. Second, I think lots of people here secretly think Namor looks fabulous in his Speedos! Be honest!
@eradicaar Uh, actually it has. Both Marvel and DC (Namor and Aquaman's comic companies) have published official lists of powers (including strength!) and Namor's almost twice as strong. Read the damn books before you go blathering. Also, you could try the companies' web sites. I noticed, BTW, that you didn't mention Namor's Speedos. They make you kinda squirmy, don't they? Just get out the Vaseline and be honest!
@sickphil71 okay 1-yes the speedo makes me squirmy XD 2-well i was a bit mistaken in my words, as ive only read the Peter David/Geoff Johns aquaman, and they seem to be more powerful then Namor but i may be mistaken. No i havent read the encyclopedias of marvel and dc because they always get outdated in 2 months
@eradicaar Yeah, speaking of outdated, Namor's look changed by getting fully dressed in a blue pant suit (not kidding) so that he looked less like a cabana boy being hired out to rich gamblers.
God this takes me back to the memories I remember watching these Marvel Superhero shows on TV sure they seemed badly animated but they were for me a little guilty pleasure I loved. The songs and scenes still put a smile to my face. I remember seeing some on video tapes. My how long that has been.
You have to realize that the kids today don't have any innocence left. You couldn't have a show like this on now, not so much because it was "lame" or "gay" (and it wasn't either of those), but because we've lost something as a nation that we'll never get back.
@jimgravesus What have we lost? A sense of decency and honor. A sense that some things exist outside the realm of what we should and should not do. A sense that might does not make right. A sense of personal responsibility for our actions rather than a nation of litigants looking for an accident. The greatest generation built so much of this nation, but the generations since have been letting it decay. The American Dream is considered a joke, and your cynical comments prove my point.
@infinityseed Segregation--if you think that is gone, you're fooling yourself. Try getting around America and having a look. McCarthyism--I wan't alive then, but I don't believe that every man, woman, and child bought into that garbage. If so, why wouldn't it have lasted? Women as domestic slaves--wow? You make it sound as if women everywhere are happier now than they were back then. I doubt that--the troubles are different maybe. Vietnam? Seriously? That was one war in U.S. history.
I have been a teacher. My mother was, too. I know how kids have changed over the past 40 years. You may not see it, but they are not the same today as they were then. When Joey is laughing in class about how the guys made a crack-wh@re have sex with a dog in exchange for drugs, something is fundamentally different with our nation. But then I guess I'm just being a nostalgic moron.
@jimgravesus As a former high school teacher, I have to disagree. Today's kids are more ignorant and more arrogant than kids were when I was their age. Very little critical thinking skills and no work ethic. I just hope the current tough times straighten them out. The Great Depression and WW2 molded my grandfather's generation into one of the greatest ones. Easy living and plenty have made each succeeding generation weaker.
@davidjradich As a well motivated member of this generation who grew up with great critical thinkers such as Carl Sagan let me be the first to say I am happy you are a former high school teacher and can no longer have an effect on children of any generation.
@ricerx let me just say I am happy to be a former high school teacher, because dealing with brain dead, disrespectful little pricks was getting to be a pain in the ass after ten years. By the way, Carl Sagan was not part of your Y generation, but he was a Boomer generation guy. Older than me. As for kids, all I can say is this. They are just like adults. A few winners, a whole lot of losers.
@davidjradich I meant Carl Sagan as a teacher not as a member of my generation. You seam like a prick yourself and if there is anything my generations knows well it's when to bow out of an online fight with a real prick. Enjoy your life then go silent into the nothingness. thank you
@ricerx It's kids like you that make me realize that bringing the draft back would be a great thing for this country. And I am enjoying life living on a tropical island not having to deal with snot nosed punks, who think they know everything anymore. As for being a prick. I can be one if warranted. Enjoy life yourself kiddo. I wish you luck.
@davidjradich So you think sending kids out to get killed in a war is the solution in that case if everyone thought like you then there really wouldn't be any hope for this country.
@hydrolito Wow, your misinterpretation of the point I was trying to make is identical to another Gen Y person I used to work with. You interpret it as me thinking kids getting killed in war is a good thing? Wrong. Kids going into the military, going through the rigors of boot camp and being placed into a situation where they are forced to adapt to hardship turns wimpy kids into men. For example, The military straightened me out and forced me to remove my head from my ass.
@hydrolito See, the military forces concepts like discipline, honor, duty, patriotism, self sacrifice, teamwork and leadership skills onto those, who do not necessarily have a grasp of these concepts. It breaks you down and builds you up. Then places expectations on the person to perform (often with life and death consequences). Experiences that make people stronger. Also, one can not be an effective leader unless one knows how to follow orders...
@hydrolito See, that is another thing I take issue with when it comes to the Y gen people... I saw it as a teacher and in the work place. You get a kid out of college, who thinks he knows everything...You try to mentor him, but he won't listen...he also doesn't know his place. The fact is...the newbie at a job is never as smart as he thinks he is and also is more expendable than he thinks he is. He has to take his knocks like everyone else. He is not fucking special...
@hydrolito Kids don't know this, This generation is coddled and told they are special little snowflakes...and feel they are entitled. Day one of boot camp sheds a shitload of light on this fallacy. See, lots of people come to the real world, thinking they are special. You are not. Respect, and position are earned. Performance and merit counts. The military teaches that in spades! So, would I want a kid to go get killed? NO. Do I want a kid to learn reality and grow up? YES!
@hydrolito Also, one other thing about bringing back the draft...If everyone were expected to fight, (ESPECIALLY THE RICH), perhaps, then our leadership would be a little more reluctant when it comes to getting our country involved in quagmires like Iraq... NO EXEMPTIONS, NO DEFERMENTS. ALL ABLE BODIED MEN AND WOMEN AGE 18-25 MUST SERVE 2 YEARS IN SOME CAPACITY...NO EXEMPTION. It would probably be a good thing in the long run.
@davidjradich The founders set up this country to protect people rights and tried to protect from British impressment or forcing people to serve in the military. To force everyone to serve two years in the military and be treated like a dog, March insteads of walk, told when to sit, when to eat, sleep in tent insteads of a dog house though and most owners don't set dog up to get killed except to protect from burgular, While we go invade some place that we shouldn't be in.
You are thinking without logic. Can't you see the cycle? If poverty turns wimps into men, and men work hard to create wealth, and wealth makes men weak and turns them (or their kids) into wimps...then we come full circle! - If, on the other hand, the "greatest generation" (of war criminals, I might add, henchmen of the evil mastermind F.D. Roosevelt) had NOT worked hard, they would have stayed poor. Poverty would have turned them into men...etc. That is the logic!
@davidjradich I agree completely. I'm amazed by today's kids. They can't spell, they don't care about anyone but themselves, they have no respect for their elders, and frankly I don't see America surviving with them in charge.
@megarouge2001 Excuse me!? I'm 17, I can spell just fine, I actually give a damn what my parents say, and America will be just fine, thanks. It's people like you who have no faith in us kids that make other kids act like that. Try have a little faith and encouragement rather than just call us failures! Like you could spell any better and like people didn't disregard you when you were a kid? We're living the life that was earned by the blood, sweat and tears of our ancestors. Sorry for that.
@davidjradich being 22, and remembering highschool well as it is relatively recent in my memory, i have to agree. however, in terms of ignorance, i disagree. most students these days dont see the point in flaunting their knowledge, giving off the air of ignorance when in reality there is only laziness, in my opinion.
@lordteapot If you state that today's "kids" are lazy its obviously the parents fault... then it's the parent's parents fault... the cycle goes on. Adults after WW2 wanted a better and easier life for their future generations and here we have it. This is what they wanted..
@davidjradich According to your logic war seems to be the only way to "mold" children.. The truth is that we live the life our grandparents wanted. They wanted our life to be easier whereas laziness and ignorance is just a side effect of that. We're a product of the past generation..
@davidjradich I think their has to be a better way to discipline children than have them go through a war or a depression. You can have them clean the house, eron the clothes, wash the dishes and mow the lawn, and find other chores and hobbies for them to do.
@davidjradic Aren't you being pretty arrogant yourself? This is blather. Every generation has looked down on by the one before, that always happens. You're just experiencing a knee-jerk reaction against youth. The Great Depression and WWII have something in common: They were very bad things. i'm sure nobody who lived through them would wish them on another generation. Former teacher? I'm not surprised. It's probably because you thought of the kids as, for lack of a better analogy, livestock...
continued from DreadDormmamu ...just there to accomplish your goals, without any kind of goals or activities of their own, just kowledge receptibles. And everyone pads their memories, and the odds of you being a model youth are very low.
@davidjradich Lol easy does it 19th century man, advances made in this age will let you go on being a curmudgeon well into old age! go ahead ,tell us what these young people need is a damn good war !! lol don't be stupid now!
@davidjradich I have to say this is extremely agest and not fair at all good thing your no longer a teacher. Also studies have shown that over time kids have got more inteligent and more aware of current situations and crisis from around the globe thanks to modern technologies.
@Mac0901Games Yeah, I work in the hazardous waste disposal business now, which is actually a lot better than trying to teach people who don't want to learn. As far as kids being more intelligent. Well, I would say that perhaps they are just about the same in intelligence as ever. Kids are like grown ups. A few winners, but a whole lot of losers. The difference is in my day, losers were dealt with appropriately. Today, they are told that everyone is a winner.until reality hits.
@davidjradich that's great that your doing something that you want to do now, but do you really have to be so hard on younger generations? Anyway when it's time for to get a job the rescession will probably still be around could be worse so i'm pretty sure it won't easy anyway especially since I want to be a police man. Out curiosity which area did you teach it can't of been that bad.
@terriblita308 Thats very understandable. I mean, it is hard to actually sympathize with a character as a hero when he invades the surface world every other week :P
But I think the appeal of him isn't really as a hero per say, but merely as an inhabitant of the Marvelverse. An undersea monarch who is so incredibly powerful (he can beat the Hulk provided they are underwater) with such a complicated psyche makes for great confrontations. But yeah, your opinion still stands of course :)
"Stronger than a whale! He can swim anywhere! He can breathe underwater, and go flying through the air! The noble Sub-Mariner! Prince of the Deep! So, beware you deadly demons ... Lord Namor of Atlantis is the Prince of the Deep!"
This and the other Marvel Superheroe TV Cartoons were first seen on WOR TV Ch.9 in NYC weekday evenings beginning in 1966. The series was set against the backdrop of a orbiting space station and hosted by"Captain Universe!".
I heard they are going to make a film based on this with Jonathan Mostow (Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines) as a director so dont get your hopes up to high
At least back when National Periodical Publications Inc. created Aquaman in the 1940s they didn't have him prancing around the ocean in just a pair of Speedos....but then again, you have the comic book covers of Namor proving himself to be a badass by taking on the Nazi and Imperial Japanese Navies, respectively.
labcorp1 - Namor stomps Aquaman into a clam shell. Under water, Sub-Mariner's strength is right up there with the Hulk's. The best Aquaman could do would be to holler for a whale or squid to help him out.
aquaman doesn't just ask sea creatures for help ,as king of the seas he commands them! which conceivably means that he could command Prince Namor the 1st. p.s. Why is he still called "Prince" Namor?
@hnelson64 Marvel vs DC 1997 or 99, aquaman beats namor by tossing a whale on him, later JLA Avengers aquaman takes out all atlantians using his telepathy including namor. Aquaman 2 Namor 0
Don't know about that, Aquaman beat Namor in the kickass Marvel vs DC comic book series. Though to be fair, Aquaman only won because he wasn't too proud to cheat :P
@SteamingPerson Aquaman beat Namor? hmmph back in the 1940s when both characters were created, Namor would do things like invade NYC on a whim and hurl the needle at the top of The Empire State Building down on civilians and battle The Human Torch and when he realized the error of his ways and when WW2 broke out he would then then go after the Nazis with a vengance.
The only Aquaman story I remember from that era was when he saved someone's pet goldfish.
@cha5 Definitely, I just read Marvels as well and he was a freaking badass there :D
But being a joint production between Marvel and DC, both sides agreed on all the outcomes regarding who would win, and so they thought Aquaman should win since he doesn't mind fighting dirty (since he beats Namor by telepathically getting a killer whale to squash him o_O)
Hey chicagocubs71, I've go the right person to play Namor - retired French soccer player Zinedine Zidane. I don't know if he can act, but he has the look. Of course, Namor wasn't known for headbutting villains. . .Never mind.
@Allanforbes It's "He'll beweary any demon". Also people keep leaving out the 'and' before "The Noble Submariner". Listen closely. I grew up on this. It was funny because beweary isn't even a word, but it makes sense. Be-weary: to make weary, to tire out.
in the earliest FF books, namor fell for sue storm/richards, and wanted to bring her back to atlantis. he could be percieved at a villian, but his reasons would be justified. the real villian could be doom or someone else.
Ever since his first comic,back in 1939,Namor hated the human race because made them responsible for the destruction of Atlantis,his own kingdom.That's why he was sometimes acting as a villain.If you like Marvel characters as much as I do,I suggest you to buy Les Daniels's magnificent book called "Marvel:Five fabulous decades of the World's greatest comics".Excelsior!
Marvel cartoons of the 60's always had terrific theme songs. This one, and the Hulk, were fun tunes. The Spiderman opening stands out as one of the best themes of ANY cartoon series ever made.
thats right! Hail Imperius REX!!!this will not be like aquaman at all.Imperius REX could do his thing on land sea and air. He is the armed forces rolled into one man.
They need to make a Namor The Sub-Mariner movie. But they need a good actor to play his part, because in the cartoons they made him like he wanted to fight anybody anywhere at sea or land.
@chicagocubs71 Way back, around 1955, it almost happened. There was serious talk of a subby film or tv show. thats why subbys book was brought back. Everett, had great passion for his character, and was crushed when the title was axed.
Marvel movie studio will not make any different from the way he is in the comics, they are very loyal to there sourses.still, not looking forward to Namor's movie,it'll be like Auquaman.
Can anyone answer a question I have? I swear that they had this, the hulk, iron man,thor, and captain america all together in one show or they showed them back to back, because I went thro all the themes that said 1966 and I had a wierd feeling I used to see them all in like an hour or something. I was a little kid when these came out so my memory about them is kinda foggy, I would appreciate any help.
Hey, Eric13Bravo, I know what you're talking about. It may have been called "The Merry Marvel Marching Society," at least that was the theme song. I used to watch it when I was 7, around 1967. Only the Spiderman episodes (and the song) became popular and reached a wider audience over the years.
I for one don't count the crossover fight between Aquaman and Namor to be a REAL fight. I mean the victory Aquaman got was simply stupid. He drops a whale on top of Namor but Namor has the strength of every fish on Earth. Namor owns Aquaman anyday!
Sorry. But California Blonde Arthur Curry Aquaman is MUCH BETTER than Underwear Man Namor! Dude. Somehow that style costume looks better on Shanna The Jungle Queen (Spiderman & His Amazing Friends' 7 Little Superheroes-Great episode. Dig Shanna & Dr. Strange. Cool.)
How the hell do you retards start talking about the founding fathers of the country in A FREAKING SUBMARINER VIDEO DISCUSSION?

@jimgravesus As a former high school teacher, I have to disagree. Today's kids are more ignorant and more arrogant than kids were when I was their age. Very little critical thinking skills and no work ethic. I just hope the current tough times straighten them out. The Great Depression and WW2 molded my grandfather's generation into one of the greatest ones. Easy living and plenty have made each succeeding generation weaker.

@davidjradich As a well motivated member of this generation who grew up with great critical thinkers such as Carl Sagan let me be the first to say I am happy you are a former high school teacher and can no longer have an effect on children of any generation.
ricerx 1 year ago
@ricerx let me just say I am happy to be a former high school teacher, because dealing with brain dead, disrespectful little pricks was getting to be a pain in the ass after ten years. By the way, Carl Sagan was not part of your Y generation, but he was a Boomer generation guy. Older than me. As for kids, all I can say is this. They are just like adults. A few winners, a whole lot of losers.

@davidjradich I meant Carl Sagan as a teacher not as a member of my generation. You seam like a prick yourself and if there is anything my generations knows well it's when to bow out of an online fight with a real prick. Enjoy your life then go silent into the nothingness. thank you

@ricerx It's kids like you that make me realize that bringing the draft back would be a great thing for this country. And I am enjoying life living on a tropical island not having to deal with snot nosed punks, who think they know everything anymore. As for being a prick. I can be one if warranted. Enjoy life yourself kiddo. I wish you luck.

@davidjradich So you think sending kids out to get killed in a war is the solution in that case if everyone thought like you then there really wouldn't be any hope for this country.
hydrolito 8 months ago
@hydrolito Wow, your misinterpretation of the point I was trying to make is identical to another Gen Y person I used to work with. You interpret it as me thinking kids getting killed in war is a good thing? Wrong. Kids going into the military, going through the rigors of boot camp and being placed into a situation where they are forced to adapt to hardship turns wimpy kids into men. For example, The military straightened me out and forced me to remove my head from my ass.
davidjradich 6 months ago
@hydrolito See, the military forces concepts like discipline, honor, duty, patriotism, self sacrifice, teamwork and leadership skills onto those, who do not necessarily have a grasp of these concepts. It breaks you down and builds you up. Then places expectations on the person to perform (often with life and death consequences). Experiences that make people stronger. Also, one can not be an effective leader unless one knows how to follow orders...
davidjradich 6 months ago
@hydrolito See, that is another thing I take issue with when it comes to the Y gen people... I saw it as a teacher and in the work place. You get a kid out of college, who thinks he knows everything...You try to mentor him, but he won't listen...he also doesn't know his place. The fact is...the newbie at a job is never as smart as he thinks he is and also is more expendable than he thinks he is. He has to take his knocks like everyone else. He is not fucking special...
davidjradich 6 months ago
@hydrolito Kids don't know this, This generation is coddled and told they are special little snowflakes...and feel they are entitled. Day one of boot camp sheds a shitload of light on this fallacy. See, lots of people come to the real world, thinking they are special. You are not. Respect, and position are earned. Performance and merit counts. The military teaches that in spades! So, would I want a kid to go get killed? NO. Do I want a kid to learn reality and grow up? YES!
davidjradich 6 months ago
@hydrolito Also, one other thing about bringing back the draft...If everyone were expected to fight, (ESPECIALLY THE RICH), perhaps, then our leadership would be a little more reluctant when it comes to getting our country involved in quagmires like Iraq... NO EXEMPTIONS, NO DEFERMENTS. ALL ABLE BODIED MEN AND WOMEN AGE 18-25 MUST SERVE 2 YEARS IN SOME CAPACITY...NO EXEMPTION. It would probably be a good thing in the long run.

To force everyone to serve two years in the military and be treated like a dog, March insteads of walk, told when to sit, when to eat, sleep in tent insteads of a dog house though and most owners don't set dog up to get killed except to protect from burgular, While we go invade some place that we shouldn't be in.

You are thinking without logic. Can't you see the cycle? If poverty turns wimps into men, and men work hard to create wealth, and wealth makes men weak and turns them (or their kids) into wimps...then we come full circle! - If, on the other hand, the "greatest generation" (of war criminals, I might add, henchmen of the evil mastermind F.D. Roosevelt) had NOT worked hard, they would have stayed poor. Poverty would have turned them into men...etc. That is the logic!

@davidjradich being 22, and remembering highschool well as it is relatively recent in my memory, i have to agree. however, in terms of ignorance, i disagree. most students these days dont see the point in flaunting their knowledge, giving off the air of ignorance when in reality there is only laziness, in my opinion.
lordteapot 8 months ago
@lordteapot If you state that today's "kids" are lazy its obviously the parents fault... then it's the parent's parents fault... the cycle goes on. Adults after WW2 wanted a better and easier life for their future generations and here we have it. This is what they wanted..
stovnergutt 8 months ago
@davidjradich According to your logic war seems to be the only way to "mold" children.. The truth is that we live the life our grandparents wanted. They wanted our life to be easier whereas laziness and ignorance is just a side effect of that. We're a product of the past generation..
stovnergutt 8 months ago
@davidjradich I think their has to be a better way to discipline children than have them go through a war or a depression. You can have them clean the house, eron the clothes, wash the dishes and mow the lawn, and find other chores and hobbies for them to do.
hydrolito 8 months ago
@davidjradic Aren't you being pretty arrogant yourself? This is blather. Every generation has looked down on by the one before, that always happens. You're just experiencing a knee-jerk reaction against youth. The Great Depression and WWII have something in common: They were very bad things. i'm sure nobody who lived through them would wish them on another generation. Former teacher? I'm not surprised. It's probably because you thought of the kids as, for lack of a better analogy, livestock...

@Mac0901Games Yeah, I work in the hazardous waste disposal business now, which is actually a lot better than trying to teach people who don't want to learn. As far as kids being more intelligent. Well, I would say that perhaps they are just about the same in intelligence as ever. Kids are like grown ups. A few winners, but a whole lot of losers. The difference is in my day, losers were dealt with appropriately. Today, they are told that everyone is a winner.until reality hits.

@terriblita308 Thats very understandable. I mean, it is hard to actually sympathize with a character as a hero when he invades the surface world every other week :P
But I think the appeal of him isn't really as a hero per say, but merely as an inhabitant of the Marvelverse. An undersea monarch who is so incredibly powerful (he can beat the Hulk provided they are underwater) with such a complicated psyche makes for great confrontations. But yeah, your opinion still stands of course :)

@SteamingPerson Aquaman beat Namor? hmmph back in the 1940s when both characters were created, Namor would do things like invade NYC on a whim and hurl the needle at the top of The Empire State Building down on civilians and battle The Human Torch and when he realized the error of his ways and when WW2 broke out he would then then go after the Nazis with a vengance.
The only Aquaman story I remember from that era was when he saved someone's pet goldfish.
cha5 1 year ago 2
@cha5 Definitely, I just read Marvels as well and he was a freaking badass there :D
But being a joint production between Marvel and DC, both sides agreed on all the outcomes regarding who would win, and so they thought Aquaman should win since he doesn't mind fighting dirty (since he beats Namor by telepathically getting a killer whale to squash him o_O)

Ever since his first comic,back in 1939,Namor hated the human race because made them responsible for the destruction of Atlantis,his own kingdom.That's why he was sometimes acting as a villain.If you like Marvel characters as much as I do,I suggest you to buy Les Daniels's magnificent book called "Marvel:Five fabulous decades of the World's greatest comics".Excelsior!
