So now that Namorita is free.........

[infernohara]

As the title says Namorita for the moment is a free agent. Would ya'll accept her in the mutant community like her cousin. She's like ole' skool Rogue without the absorption power and I miss a gal that can knock someone's lights out while talking crap.

I really would love her to come aboard and date Iceman so he can troll Namor some more. I'd really love that!

Anywayz, its not about what I want, I wanna know if you would except her in the X-men extended family?

[witchboy]

Eh, I can take her or leave her.
The character's ok, but like Namora I don't see them as a good fit for the X books. They should be more closely aligned with the Avengers, Defenders, etc. That's historicly where they've been written more. They don't really have much strong ties with the X books considering their stronger ties in the non mutant books.
Technicaly they've been classified as mutants, but I've never really bought into that. They're human/Atlantean hybrids, I guess their powers are mutations, but I'd have prefered they not have been classified as such.
Iceman only teases Namor because he has a crush on him and doesn't know how to act on it. Namorita would hopefully know better than to date Iceman.

[infernohara]

Thanks for your opinion!!!

p.s: Iceman isn't gay. Jeez.

[witchboy]

I know he's not supposed to be, but I just pretend Iceman is gay anyways, it's more fun. I never got over Emma's comments hinting at that after she possesed his body ages ago.

[Home made ectoplasm]

I do not want to read about this character in the X books.

Focus on the X Men please.

[infernohara]

She's a mutant like Namor.......I would think its fair game JAM.

[Home made ectoplasm]

I don't really want to read about him either...

But actually I don't know too much about her, I always get her mixed up with Nocturne.

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

NamoritaClops would no doubt piss off Namor.

Sure, bring on the drama.

[infernohara]

Then get into the know JAM:

http://marvel.wikia.com/Namorita_Prentiss_(Earth-616)

Corrosive acid hands and invisibility with a story even messier than Psylockes'. Sounds like X-men material to me.

Also, Namoritaclops....cool. I wouldn't mind Cyclops getting Emma with a little payback. We do need the drama back in our X-men afterall....

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

We even have the clone & 'related or not' angles covered. :wink:

Still, I was rather thinking of payback against both.

Somehow he's the bad guy for sometimes ignoring Ems' fits (Emma) or not treating her like an *actual* queen (Namor), but it's perfectly sensible for Ems to occasionally ignore Cyke and have *regular* dinner dates with an ex. :eek:

[infernohara]

Hmm. So you're saying that Coleen Wing should make a pit stop on her way to Japan and catch up with Cyclops then stiff him with the bill?

Kinda would piss Emma off double since the money would come outta her trustfund lol.

Yes, yes, yes.

Pure comedy gold.

[drownedbyimmolation]

Namorita is back? I'd rather see her in Namor title. Namora I think I would prefer and also would be a better for for the X-Men, just not right now.

[ManiacalWon]

Love Namorita... but she'd become wallpaper on Utopia... let her shine in Namor's book 'under' Utopia.

[Valeria Kementari]

Namorita free? Thanks for spoiling Thanos Imperative for those that haven't read it yet ¬¬

[The Lucky One]

Namorita is back? I'd rather see her in Namor title. Namora I think I would prefer and also would be a better for for the X-Men, just not right now.

As I understand it, she reappeared in some Nova story recently where she was drawn from the past (so it's old-school 'Nita, not Kymaera) to help fight the Sphinx. She somehow didn't get sent back afterward, but didn't cause a paradox either. She's her own Magik.

This tells us everything we need to hear: New Warriors revival! Marvel, if you guys can get FabNic started on that, the sooner the better, that'd be great. Thanks!

Oh that version. I sorta liked Kymaera/bluer thing going on lol I was hoping she came back or something.

I agree about New Warriors, thanks for the info too!

[DevilishRogue]

She's as free as anyone can be... since she's dead.

[Party Pete]

I would love Namorita to join in Namor: The First Mutant!

[worstblogever]

I would love Namorita to join in Namor: The First Mutant!

Loa will be upset when she finds out her throne as Atlantean Princess has been usurped.

[Perfection/Emma 2]

I welcome her with open arms.

[Nevets F]

I'm just happy Namorita is back, even if it is a version from a couple of years ago. It was the best version, the New Warrior dating Nova, so it works for me.

[Party Pete]

Loa will be upset when she finds out her throne as Atlantean Princess has been usurped.
It would be better if Loa get stuck in India. :tongue:

[buchananjames12]

She's alive again? Is she blue or pink? How did she came back from the dead? Which issue(s) do I need to buy?

[worstblogever]

It would be better if Loa get stuck in India. :tongue:

She can phase, unless she becomes a priestess of Ganesh, I don't see her getting stuck anywhere.

No. Nope. Nada. Nyet. Nein. I don't even accept Leonard "Aqua Spock" Namor as a member of the X-Men - so I definitely would not accept any other character that shares any DNA material with him.

Namor, Namorita, Namora, Namor_____ all belong in other Marvel Universe titles with the Avengers and Fantastic Four, or their own series - not the X-Men.

Did Psylocke or Longshot "belong" to the X-Men before they joined?

[TanGent]

Namorita's back?! They better reunite that girl with her mama asap!

Poor Namora's been going through hell over her dying like that!

Namora's the one I always think of as sharing a similar attitude as oldschool Rouge. That's one of the reasons she so cool!:biggrin:

[BLACKWINGS]

Fish people from a fabled city that have spent 40+ years interacting more with the Marvel Universe have basically dug their "niche" into the rest of the Marvel Universe - where as Psylocke and Longshot have both dug their "niche" into the X-Men.

Isn't Doctor Nemesis a more egregious example of this? :confused:

[AcesX1X]

yay, namorita. i would definitely welcome her into the x-men. it's time for this mutant princess to meet the rest of her family.

[Regino]

I don't want to read about Namorita right now. There are so many characters at this point that an additional one would be uninteresting.

[Zero Hunter]

She's alive again? Is she blue or pink? How did she came back from the dead? Which issue(s) do I need to buy?

She came back in the Nova series issues 32-35. A time travel mess caused by the Sphinx drew her from a point in the past, and Nova was able to keep her around when things went back to normal. She is back to her classic blond haired version.

[Cayman]

I'd rather see her in an Avengers book.

[Pixie_Solanas]

I do not want to read about this character in the X books.

Focus on the X Men please.

Srsly. She already crapped all over Cosmic Marvel. I don't want her vd infecting the x-books.

If I never read about "'Nita" again, i'm more than ok with that.

[infernohara]

I'd rather see her in an Avengers book.

Why do people keep saying in an Avengers book? Since when has she wanted to be or even been considered Avenger material? I can understand the opinion of some who just don't want her around x-men, but Avengers makes no sense.

I think she could work as the X-men's strong flying character. I'm sure we would see the blue version eventually and finally get an understanding on what that represents through Dr. Nemesis.

I also wouldn't mind seeing a glimpse of what Justice and Firestar think of the state of mutants right now. I would love to see mutants come together from all around and be backed into a corner together and then when the current crisis is over...go back to their respective areas.

[witchboy]

Namor has traditonally been more in the Avengers and FF, not an X character. So Namorita being in an Avengers books makes sense for that reason.
I liked when Namorita was Johnny Storm's girlfriend for about 5 minutes, she'd be ok in the FF for awhile, except the FF can't really have 5 members for too long.

[[]D[]/\/\[]D @ Nite/So-tite]

I don't get it.

Justice and Firestar are okay to join the X-Men, but Namorita isn't? :confused:

Well, considering that the F4 will be the F3 soon....I just doubt she'd wanna be on a team around her "ex" boyfriend. Especially if hes not the one to bite it. I know how protective Namor is with her and I can see the drama coming when it comes to her. He wouldn't bang her like her does Namora, but he'd be very hard pressed on some of the mutants that she would hang with.

BTW, I don't even see why people hate Namor with the X-men. He hasn't been focused on really at all like people have said. The X-men essenstially focus on 3 core people now and their problems, not what happens with a team setting anymore.

[witchboy]

Firestar at least has ties to the X-Men thru her time as Emma's protege. Given how Emma was manipulative and cruel to Firestar and Firestar ultimately rebelled and broke her ties with Emma I'd love to have those two interacting.
Justice I have no real intrest in.
I think people see Firestar and Justice at least as "real" mutants, and Namor and Namorita aren't "real" mutants. I have to admit I think that way. They have so much of their own thing going on with their Atlantean background, shoehorning them into the X books just doesn't feel like a good fit.

I see what you mean with the "real" mutants, but what justifies a "real" mutant?

Namor has been called a mutant forever and he just happens to be able to live better underwater. Is it because of the atlantean deal? All mutants need to be airbreathers only with humanistic qualities? Are the morlocks mutants to you or just morlocks because they're ugly? What of the Neo?

Namorita is a mutant as well...as further evidence she is a clone of another mutant and went through a "secondary mutation"...the staple of true mutancy. If that isn't what a mutant is I dunno what is......

Namor has an X-gene and been referred to as a mutant since the 60's.

[witchboy]

Of course Morlocks are mutants.
It's the Atlantean thing that makes me see them as non-Mutants. I guess I think a Mutant is someone whose genetic background diverged from Homo Sapines not Homo Atlanean or whatever Namor is. Yes, he Namora and Namorita are half human.
It's not about not liking Namor. I like him fine but I don't like trying to shoehorn him into the mutant books. Until recently he's had very little contact with the mutants, while he has lots of history with the Avengers and FF. Namor doesn't have a lot of ties to the surface world so his role in human/mutant relations is pretty detached.
I actually would rather have Namorita in the X books over Namor. Her character seems a better fit, and I could warm up to idea of her being in an X book.

So in what category would you consider characters like Crosta?

Were Psylocke and Longshot "real" mutants before they joined? Psylocke's previous orign was fully that of a Captain Britain character and being an Otherworlder (i.e. not full Earth human). Longshot was an alien from the Mojoverse.

They ended up fitting just fine. :smile:

[infernohara]

I do understand what you mean by Namor having more history with the other teams, but honestly this is a fresh take on Namor. Why hasn't he acknowledeged his mutant side more? These are just interesting stories waiting to be told and I love to see how a "King" handles being a mere pawn and we finally have a very cocky character you can either love or hate....there truly is no inbetween with Namor and I love that.

All characters have to get their start somehwere. As said before Psylocke was a captain Britain type of character. She could've easily stayed on the Britain side of the world and look at the amazing transformation we have of her now. Same as Longshot and what of Dr. Nemesis who I don't remember being an X-character before, but seems to be welcomed now...they even toyed with teh idea of Cloak and Dagger being on. In other words, it takes time to warm up to new ideas. I don't like Magneto being on the X-men and being this geuinely good person......I guess I have to just accept it though as there are some very interesting things that can happen for the character in his current mindset.

[Peter F.]

Namorita should join the Defenders instead.

[witchboy]

I was first introduced to Psylocke and Cap Britain, as well as Longshot and Warlock all in the X books so I didn't question that they belonged there, and they all worked out. Namor has a long history, and X gene or not, has never taken much intrest in that part of his heritage.
i like Cloak and Dagger and I'd enjoy them being around for awhile, although I think in the long run they'd be better suited in a more gritty urban based book similar to Moon Knight.
Part of my objection too is that he just isn't suited to be being an X-Man. He's going to clash with the leaders, he won't be able to deal with not being the king of the mutants and he'll leave.

Both Psylocke and Longshot still had history prior to joining the X-Men. Much more so in Psylocke's case.

In fact, Justice and Firestar have had tons of history with the Avengers/New Warriors. Justice has very little to almost no connection with the X-Men. Namor appeared early on back in the original Lee/Kirby X-Men series and has had a good number of encounters with Magneto and members of the X-crew since then, even being colleagues with Xavier. So, if Justice/Firestar are considered acceptable, that really can't be a knock on Namorita in that regard.

If Magneto can do it, I don't see how it's out of the realm of possibility for Namor.
