Black Panther: Wakanda Foreversignificantly changes Namors (Tenoch Huerta) origin story.
However,Wakanda Foreversticks close to the comic books regarding Namors mutant nature.
After all, both in the MCU and Marvel Comics, Namor is much more powerful than his subjects.
Namor Mutant Origin in Marvel Comics
Namor was created byBill Everettin 1939.
The project sank fast, though, with only a handful of sample copies getting printed.
After all, Namor was one of the first metahumans to ever show up in a Marvel Comics story.

For a long time, Namor was also said to be the first mutant in Marvel Comics.
Since Atlantians usually live beyond one hundred years, Namor also ages slowly compared to other Marvel superheroes.
The wings dont come from Atlanteans or humans.

No wonder Namor remains one of the strongest characters in Marvel Comics.
Thats because instead of Atlantis, the MCU Namor comes from the Mesoamerican kingdom of Talokan.
The vibraniums unique properties gave birth to a particular plant, not unlike Wakandas heart-shaped herb.

As a result, Namor mutated before he was even born.
No wonderNamor was originally named Kukulkan, the Plumed Serpent God.
Now, we just need to wait for Namor to return to future movies and TV shows.
Hopefully, that will happen soon enough.
Black Panther: Wakanda Foreveris now streaming on Disney+.
