Marvel and DC are old rivals, a pair that has loved and fought each other for many years, often copying... borrowing from each other, and have produced many superheroes with seemingly similar abilities.
For example, DC has Superman, and Marvel has Sentry.
DC has Batman, and Marvel has Iron Man.
DC has the Flash, and Marvel has Quicksilver.
If you were to say which superhero's experiences and abilities were the most similar, then "Aquaman" could definitely be at the top of the list.
Hearing Godzilla's words, Han Shaoqing recalled the deeds of Namor McKenzie.
Namor McKenzie was the first Mutant created in the history of American comics.
The birth of Marvel's Aquaman, Namor, is basically the same as DC's Aquaman, Arthur.
Namor was also a hybrid born of a human and the Atlantean Queen. It would be more accurate to call him a "Hybrid" than a Mutant.
Namor McKenzie's father, Leonard McKenzie, was an American captain.
In 1920, when Leonard went to the Antarctic to explore, the route was blocked by ice floes. Leonard then had the sailors use explosives to break up the ice.
Unintentionally, this caused severe damage to the underwater ancient kingdom of Atlantis.
Tarkul, the King of Atlantis, ordered his daughter Fen to investigate the cause of the explosion.
During the investigation, Fen was accidentally injured and taken in by Leonard. They lived on the ship for several weeks. During this time, the two fell in love and did everything they could.
Losing contact with his daughter, King Tarkul worried that she had been killed or kidnapped by the land-dwellers, so he sent people to search the surface of the sea and discovered his daughter Fen on the ship.
King Tarkul was hostile towards the land-dwellers and mistakenly believed that his daughter had been captured by the other side. He then ordered an attack on Leonard's ship, resulting in the death of all crew members, including Leonard.
Fen was brought back to Atlantis, and a few months later, she gave birth to a son, Namor McKenzie.
Because he was a Hybrid, Namor's skin color was close to that of humans, unlike the pale blue skin of other Atlanteans. Therefore, Namor was discriminated against by his people from a young age and was considered an inferior "Outcast," labeled a freak.
He was eventually expelled from the royal city of Atlantis by the priests.
Namor's mother dared not challenge the thousands of years of tradition, so she took Namor and hid in the slums of Atlantis.
But even here, because of his skin color, Namor was still ridiculed and bullied by other Atlanteans.
Later, under pressure, Namor's mother married an Atlantean. After giving birth to Namor's half-sister, Namora, the family fled to Manhattan.
After reaching adulthood, Namor discovered that his power was constantly growing stronger, and he returned to Atlantis.
After a series of struggles, Namor obtained the [Neptune's Trident], reclaimed the throne, and won the recognition of the Atlanteans, becoming the King of Atlantis.
From then on, Namor made it his mission to protect the ocean and his people.
When World War II broke out, because of the accidental capture of an Atlantean, who was used as a test subject, resulting in their tragic death.
Namor, unaware of the situation on land, saw his people killed by land-dwellers. Enraged, he launched a tsunami to attack New York.
Just when the crowd was about to enjoy the spectacle, First Generation Human Torch stepped in to stop him.
After that, Namor and Human Torch became friends after a fight. Along with the newly risen Captain America, and some other super-powered individuals, they formed the "Invaders" to fight against evil.
From their abilities, Namor and Arthur, the two Aquamen, are basically the same. They both have super strong physiques, can move at high speeds underwater, and can communicate with marine life. They also both use tridents as weapons.
The only difference is that Namor has two small wings on his ankles, allowing him to fly, while Arthur cannot.
However, Namor cannot stay on land for long. He has to return to the water every so often, otherwise, he will lose his lifespan.
Strength, speed, and reaction time far surpassed ordinary people, but because he had just obtained the Aquaman physique, many abilities were still undeveloped.
Theoretically, Han Shaoqing also possessed extremely high magical talent, but he didn't know how to use it. At most, he could use the Neptune's Trident to fire energy blasts and control water, but he couldn't fly.
Although he knew the details of Aquaman Namor, how strong was Namor now?
Han Shaoqing also wasn't sure. The information in the comics could only be used as a reference.
This time, going to Atlantis with Godzilla was mainly to scout out the place and see if he could check in.
If possible, taking down Namor and seizing the throne of Atlantis wouldn't be bad.
Anyway, Atlantis needed a king, so why couldn't that king be me?
Han Shaoqing was still quite ambitious.
To be honest, he rather liked this colorful world. The reason boiled down to two words: exciting.
From appearing on the Titanic, to meeting Godzilla, to obtaining the punch-in system, to possessing the abilities of Aquaman.
Everything felt like a dream!
Han Shaoqing had a somewhat unreal feeling, but this feeling captivated him.
His newfound power also made him a little arrogant.
He had now reached a depth of five thousand feet underwater. This was a depth that ordinary submarines struggled to reach.
Sunlight couldn't penetrate here, so the deep sea was relatively dim.
Looking around, the dark environment was still incredibly clear in Han Shaoqing's eyes. Along the way, he could see many marine creatures and plants with their own lighting effects.
The area was filled with jellyfish, and many shipwrecks could be seen on the seabed, inhabited by numerous marine creatures.
"A big monster! Run!"
"We'll be eaten! Run, run!"
"I don't want to move. It's so big, it probably won't be interested in my little bit of meat."
Deep in the ocean, Han Shaoqing could hear the thoughts of the surrounding marine life.
Compared to humans, these marine creatures were much simpler.
Godzilla didn't pay attention to those marine creatures. Its main food source was nuclear radiation, so it generally didn't need to hunt.
