Posted by Torch on 8/10/2005, 3:16 pm, in reply to "Re: I need issue numbers:" That said, maybe A.S. or somoeone knows where evidence can be found? I recall that Namor (and probably Nita) was poisoned, probably by Llyra, maybe someone else? Namor got ill, but did not die due to his unique physiology. I know I read this at least once. (NOTE: I did a Google search and found http://www.groundzerocomics.com/Fanzine/WhatNoPictures.htm and here This isn't the reference I was looking for, but the author might have been aware of this fact, also. There is also a reference to Namor being poisoned by Roxxon's toxic waste in IRON MAN# 120. Namor also survived the deadly waters of the River Styx in Avengers #282) Namorita has also been poisoned... This is also the basis for my belief that Bill Everett, prior to his own illness, originally intended bring BACK Namora after revealing her body was encased (by Llyra and Byrrah) in a block of ice and used as a tool to control Nita upon her introduction in the early 1970s. Llyra used poison to "kill" Namora as she was her rival for Prince Merro of Lemuria when Llyra intended to marry him so she could become it's new ruler. She also poisoned the Emperor so Merro would ascend the throne. Once married to Merro, she then poisoned him as well. Merro DID die, as he was only 'homo mermanus' and not a product of the Neptunian prophecy concerning the mystical union of surface dweller and sea dweller (as in the cases of the hybids Llyra, Namor, Namora & Nita, and probably Llyron, even though Nita & Llyra are also clones, they are still genetically hybrids). For OTHER feats of interest concerning Namor, you might want to add those he demonstrated early in his post-Amnesiac days, where he could puff up like a Puffer Fish (very humorous), see in the dark using sonar/radar, electrical shock like eels, etc. from STRANGE TALES# 107 (featuring the Human Torch of the FF)

I'd like to add to this with actual reference(s), but, as noted in an earlier posting, I don't have access to any of my comics at this time.
