Explanation of the conversion: Having Enhanced Senses in a Power
Framework requires special permission from the Game Master.

History: Namor was born the hybrid offspring of Princess Fen of
Atlantis and an American seaman, Captain Leonard McKenzie. McKenzie's
ship was searching for the Lemurian city rumored to house the mythical
Helmet of Power at the behest of one of his passengers, Paul Destiny.
However, McKenzie distrusted the uses to which Destiny would put the
Crown and caused an avalanche to bury the city. Making his way to
safety, McKenzie planted explosives to break up the ice flows, unaware
Atlantis lay beneath. The damage the city sustained prompted King
Thakorr to send his daughter, Fen, to investigate. In a strange twist
of fate, the captured princess married McKenzie. When Fen failed to
return after several weeks, Thakorr dispatched a rescue party. The
ensuing scuffle apparently killed McKenzie, and Fen returned to
Atlantis. Nine months later, Namor was born.

Namor grew up with a hostile attitude toward surface-dwellers. When
Thakorr discovered men in diving suits near Atlantis, he assumed they
were advance scouts for an invasion force and ordered Namor to attack
New York, where he fought the original Human Torch. Shortly thereafter,
Nazis attacked Atlantis. Namor joined the Invaders, and later, the
All-Winners Squad, fighting the Nazi scourge alongside Captain America,
the Human Torch, Spitfire, Miss America and myriad other heroes of the
day.

Atlantis escaped much of the fighting during World War II, but severe
earthquakes damaged the city. Namor again was dispatched to New York,
where he fell afoul of Paul Destiny, who finally had obtained the
Helmet of Power and was causing the quakes. His power destroyed much of
Atlantis, killing Thakorr and Fen. Under compulsion of the Helmet,
Namor returned to New York with amnesia and became a wandering
derelict.

Johnny Storm, the Human Torch II, eventually discovered Namor in the
Bowery. Burning away the extra hair and substantial beard Namor had
grown, Storm dropped the Atlantean in the harbor. The immersion
restored most of Namor's memory, and he spent the next 10 years warring
with the surface world. Eventually, he realized he must put aside his
hatred of surface-dwellers on behalf of his undersea nation.

The Sub-Mariner was a founding member of the loosely knit group of
heroes known as the Defenders, brought together with Dr. Strange and
the Hulk when an ultimate computer called the Omegatron threatened
Earth. However, a curse forced the original three Defenders and the
Silver Surfer to part ways. The condemnation was lifted, but Namor did
not return to the Defenders at that time. The team eventually
disbanded, due to circumstances beyond their control.

Once it was established that Bruce Banner's mind was in control of the
Hulk's body, the Hulk was treated to a celebration in New York City
where he received a presidential pardon from Ronald Reagan, the key to
the city, and praise from a number of superheroes, including Namor
(Incredible Hulk #279).

Namor was among the superhumans who were invited to take on the
Champion of the Universe in a fighting contest at Madison Square
Garden. Sadly Namor was disqualified during training for refuse to
follow his trainer's orders (Marvel Two-In-One Annual #7).

The Super-Skrull was freed from the Van Allen belt and battled Namor
(Namor The Sub-Mariner #17).

Namor was among the people invited to the wedding of Rick Jones and
Marlo Chandler (Incredible Hulk #418).

Namor was among the members of the Avengers who were captured by Morgan
Le Fay and mind controlled into becoming her personal guard, the
Queen's Vengeance. When under her control he went by the name Sealord
(Avengers III #2-3).

He was among the heroes incapacitated by Graviton when he attempted to
take over the Earth once again (Thunderbolts #57).

Powers: Namor can lift about 100 tons at peak capacity, although his
strength degrades the longer he is out of water, to a minimum of 50
tons. He is an amphibian, and breathes water and air with equal
facility. Namor also can fly for several hours at peak speeds of 60 mph
before tiring. In addition, he possesses limited invulnerability. He is
very resistant to electricity but vulnerable to heat and flame. By
concentrating he can sense the world around him through a form of
radar.
