Biography

Born in a world where his father was African American as opposed to Caucasian he has the same past as 616 Namor except he became king of Atlantis at an earlier stage. He rescued Susan Storm from certain death after her spaceship had been bombarded by cosmic rays and battered by asteroids and all her crew mates were killed. This event marked the death of 3 billion people as the asteroids smashed the south Americas into islands, destroyed the Caribbean, destroyed Japan and destroyed England. The other meteors that didn’t make land fall created a series of Tsunami’s which further remade the world. Africa was left the only real super power which was divided by Storm and the Villainous Black Panther. The rest of earth and the expanded sea became the realm of Namor and Atlantis. Susan and Namor eventually grew to love each other wed, producing many children.He also became friends with Remy Lebeau.Gambit of the X-men, who eventually died in battle, he would name his first son after him. The atlantean rebels allied with the Black Panther and her armies in hopes of dethroning Namor. This is how he met the reality hopping Exiles whom his son eventually joined. In his son’s absence he was killed by the evil Black Panther. His son Remy would succeed him as king.
