Posted by omniac on 8/6/2005, 9:52 pm, in reply to "Father Neptune" --Previous Message-- Hail Avenging Son! Yes, I think it is reasonable to theorize that the 'royal line' is descended from Neptune. Namor's hybrid nature could be the reason why this god-heritage manifests itself so strongly in him. Also, I believe there are Atlantean prophecies concerning 'the Avenging Son' that would support this theory of Namor being a direct descendent of Neptune's. Cheers,

: The Atlanteans consider Neptune, Father
: Neptune. Is Neptune the actual father of the
: Atlantean race? We all know his brother Zues
: got physically active with mortal women,
: including Herc's mother. It's reasonable to
: believe Neptune could have involved himself
: with Atlantean women to be the actual
: physical Father of the Atlantean race.
: Namor's heritage is from the Imperial blood
: line as leader of the Atlanteans. But, what
: if Namor is an actual descendant of Father
: Neptune? Could Namor be a demi-god ala
: Hercules? I know it wouldn't be exactly the
: same since Zues was Herc's actual father
: from his relations with Herc's earth mom. It
: would make more sense this way though, since
: Namor is far far stronger, more powerful,
: and with many abilities neither Atlanteans
: nor humans possess. Namor couldn't have
: inherited this from an Atlantean-human union
: alone. His hybrid-mutation has god-like
: qualities involved far beyond a mix of mere
: Atlantean-human genetics. I think there's
: some Olympian blood in the Atlantean
: bloodline to give Namor is unique abilities.
: Neptune also personally blessed Namor when
: he won and recaptured the missing trident of
: Neptune in TTA #75. Watcha' think?
