Episode 114: Namor McKenzie (feat. Spencer Ackerman)

In Episode 114 of CEREBRO, Connor and returning fan favorite guest Spencer Ackerman live the life aquatic with Namor McKenzie, the studly Sub-Mariner! Created by Bill Everett in 1939, Namor is among Marvel's earliest characters, one of only a handful to be carried over from predecessor imprint Timely Comics. Arguably the first antihero in the superhero genre, the Sub-Mariner was reimagined in the Silver Age as a sometime foe of the Fantastic Four, a romantic complication for leading lady Sue Storm. In the 21st century, after many years of stories technically designating him as a mutant, Namor finally spent a stretch of time in the X-Men franchise in work by Matt Fraction and Kieron Gillen.The result here is a strange, undersea adventure for which Connor is not entirely prepared.First, though, a little chat about Spencer's new gig as the incoming writer of Iron Man!The CEREBRO character file on the Sub-Mariner begins at 1:15:06.(Content Advisory: Namor's story includes racism, colonialism, genocide, and sexual violence.)You can support CEREBRO on Patreon!Our Sponsors:* Check out Mood and use my code CEREBRO for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/cerebroAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
