Quote:

Namor the Sub-Mariner is a pretty cool comic book character. He has a wealth of exotic powers, has punched Nazis alongside Captain America, and flat-out tells Invisible Woman all the things adolescent Fantastic Four fans are thinking. For these and many other reasons, readers have clamored for a Namor movie for years—but there's an array of villains stopping its production, and it'll take more than an angry mutant in a speedo to stop them. Here are some of the biggest reasons Marvel will never give our favorite Atlantean his own movie.

[SPOILER]

• Too many worlds
  
  Question of rights
  
  Impossible backstory
  
  Worst Kryptonite ever
  
  The mutant problem
  
  The terrorism thing
  
  His accent is a bit Thor
  
  Similarity to Aquaman
  
  The longevity problem
  
  He makes for a better partner, and even better villain
