Fan Casting Namor McKenzie in Marvel Infinity Presents: Namor the Sub-Mariner

Namor McKenzie, once revered as the Firstborn of the Deep, is a hybrid — the son of a surface-dwelling human explorer and an Atlantean queen. Raised in the imperial halls of Atlantis yet always marked by his surface blood, Namor’s youth was spent fighting to prove his loyalty to a kingdom that both needed and mistrusted him. In 2016, when the surface world erupted in superhuman conflict, the Atlantean Council struck a covert deal to flood major continents and destroy human infrastructure — a last-ditch move to protect the oceans from pollution and war. Namor refused to be part of the genocide, defying the council and publicly condemning their actions. Branded a traitor, he was stripped of his title and exiled, just as the Earth began to drown. Now, over a decade later, the planet is nearly all ocean. Atlantis has become a cold, techno-authoritarian empire ruled by those who betrayed the balance Namor once stood for. Haunted by his exile and the failure to stop the Deluge, Namor lives in hiding in the ruins of the drowned surface world — a warrior without a kingdom. But when rumors rise of ancient powers awakening beneath the sea, and when the suffering of his people reaches a breaking point, Namor is forced to return — not as a prince, but as a reluctant savior. His journey is one of redemption, resistance, and reclaiming not just a throne, but the soul of Atlantis itself.
