Deceased?

Will we be keeping the deceased tag, I wonder? If the Earth-616 Namora is revived - which seems likely, to judge from the Agents of Atlas blurb, and the deceased one is an alternate... does the tag stay? --Mrph 22:26, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Roman numerals and comicboxes

As per the WikiProject Comics editorial guidelines, roman numerals are discouraged. Accordingly, I'll remove 'em - I'm also considering splitting the superhero infobox into two different versions, one for Exiles and one for Earth-616/Agents of Atlas Namora (we should have an image available for that soon enough). Opinions? --Mrph 19:42, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Recent concensus shows that alternate versions do not get SHBs. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 06:37, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Origin

The first Golden Age appearance of Namora in Marvel Mystery Comics #82 was recently reprinted in Marvel Adventures Avengers Annual #1. This origin story contains no suggestion of her being related to Namor, although there are several places where it would be relevent to mention such a relationship. The only reason given for changing her name is "Since I will be your partner, why not call me Namora?" Presumably the revenge meaning was added at a later date, along with the relationship. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.100.101.24 (talk) 14:01, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Creator(s)

The article currently states Ken Bald and Sid Shores are the co-creators, while listing an unknown writer, Bald and cover artist Bob Powell as co-creators in the infobox. Yet, the article also states that her costume was created by Bill Everett.

This can't all be accurate. There is little precedent for calling the inker a co-creator. And if her look was already defined before the penciller began work, he can hardly be a co-creator, either. I see no justification for Powell at all.

The history of the character would indicate that it would be more correct to list an unknown writer and Everett as the co-creators, as indicated by the text of the article. (Or to remove the designation altogether, since it is clear the facts in the matter are unknown). 2002:620D:3AF:0:11EB:3CFA:48D3:F7FD (talk) 04:16, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
