admonition : SPOILERS forInvaders # 1
Captain America 4may never actually happen , but if it did , it would be tough to find a more arrant story to narrate than the one Marvel ’s spinning in the new comical Bible series , Invaders . The heroes Steve Rogers and his former friend Namor are the whizz , telling an updated origin of The Invaders - a squad of superheroes during World War II which comprise of Captain America , Bucky , the original Human Torch ( Jim Hammond ) , and Namor .
create in 1939 , Namor the Sub - Mariner is Marvel ’s first superhero , and is possibly their most important character to never appear in a live - activity film . Rights proceeds with Universal Studios have kept the Avenging Son in pic oblivion for year , and though there ’s occasional talk of Marvel getting the right back , Namor is has yet to " come home"to Marvel Studios . There ’s always a probability that Marvel has a plan for Namor in Phase 4 of the MCU , andInvadersshows why it ’s too good a narration not to evidence .

Namor has surge to the limelight in late month , apparentlyturning evil again and sample to pop an Avenger . Namor ostensibly gave up being a hero for good to becomeone the Marvel Universe ’s greatest threats . ButInvaders # 1calls into query Namor ’s descent into villainy , when Jim Hammond starts dig out into the Invaders ' history for a book he ’s in the unconscious process of writing .
Jim finding a mysterious photo of Namor and Professor X would be interesting enough . But even more of import is his realization that the photo was takenbeforeNamor had egress as a hoagy ( during the clip he was wandering the streets of New York as an amnesiac homeless man ) . This fall out prior to his reintroduction to the Marvel Universe in the early 1960s , which means this photo could potentially retcon a major moment in Namor ’s laughable ledger history .
Jim also contacts Captain America and reminds him of their retiring adventures with Namor , convince Cap to look for the goodness in Namor so that they can stop him from destroy himself . Jim believes there ’s something unseasonable with Namor , and the last of the proceeds test it , when a handful of Atlanteans find Namor verbalize to someone … who is n’t there . Moved by Jim ’s words and intrigued by the shocking photo , Cap choose NOT to launch the Avengers into conflict against Namor and determine alternatively to handle it personally alongside Winter Soldier and Human Torch . In typical Captain America mode , Steve does n’t give care that the odds are stacked against them .
Invaders # 1feels like the first act of a Marvel flick centered around a cryptic and compelling secret . More specifically , it feels like it was tailor - made forCaptain America 4,with Namor serving as the main resister . This would have been an splendid way to introduce Namor into the MCU and potentially do up a solo moving-picture show , had the MCU hold open its focus on Earth instead of deep infinite . WithChris Evans ' time to come as Captain America in doubt , it ’s unfortunate that this is one tale that may never make it to the big projection screen .
