So, watching Jeapardy the other night and host Alex Trebec (sp?) while talking with one of the contestants revealed that he was a fan of Sub-Mariner and used to collect the comic. I thought that was pretty cool. Not in the "dude, he likes comics too" sense, but that "wow he's a fan of a character that isn't super popular with his own movie coming soon" sense.
Me? I'm a DC guy and when Sub-mariner comes up the obvious comparison is to good ol' Aquaman. A while back the debate was going on about who was "better" so for giggles I came up with a little list. Enjoy.
And now: 10 reasons why Aquaman is better than Namor!
10: Better hair.
9: Was a stud in Smallville
8: Been on a lot more cartoons and even had one of his own.
7: Namor raided the surface world to try to get a bride. Aquaman has the ladies come to him.
6: More options for footwear. Can wear cool boots without having to worry about pesky ankle wings.
5: Was mentioned in a Barenaked Ladies song.
4: Got that whole sexual tension thing with Wonder Woman. Everyone knows she digs him.
3: Was really cool in the Justice League Heroes game as opposed to Namor in Marvel Ultimate Alliance where he was... oh yeah... NOT THERE!
2: Does not need a weird battle cry. "Imperious Rex"? What?
...and finally...
1: Aquaman has never gone into battle wearing only a speed-o.

#9 and #5 were HYSTERICAL.
The Namor believes if you are going into battle you better hammock up. High five! Sorry, that's a Scrubs reference(I'm comparing Namor to "The Todd". If you've seen the show you'd laugh your ass off.). The only thing cool about Sub Mariner is that at one point Jae Lee took over the art chores on the book. But that was waaaayyyy back in the day.
