1939: Namor's debut

MARVEL COMICS #1: 

Oops! Thought they were robots.

In his first act in his first appearance ever, the Sub-Mariner cuts the air hoses of two divers, then violently stabs and crushes them to death. 

The terrifying premise of encountering a man who exists in the ocean's depths is later dramatized in the appropriately-titled modern graphic novel, "Sub-Mariner: The Depths".

Oops! Thought it was
a ship full of robots.









He then destroys their ship, the SS Recovery, by forcing it to wash up on a coral reef in frigid waters. All hands lost – no official body count, but from the size of the vessel and the date, approximately 30.


Body count: approximately 30

Writer/Artist: Bill Everett
