Namor's postwar Invaders vol 3 flashbacks

Post by Leoparis »

This post completes the analysis of flashbacks in Invaders Vol 3.

The extended backstory of Namor with the Petersons in Invaders Vol 3 requires analysis of Namor's post-war and pre-Marvel era history.

The PNSUB flashback, originally dated to Dec 52 was redated to 1955 by Roy Thomas in SAGASUB 6-FB to match Sub-Mariner comics publication history.

According to this new chronology, Namor becomes a homeless person after meeting Paul Destine, then is not a vagrant for fifteen years (from Roman Peterson's birth to teenage years). He's then recruited by Xavier and becomes homeless again. Thus Xavier in INV3 4-FB appears earlier than FIRSTX 3.

Postwar flashbacks:
8) postwar (#4 page 2:3 - 2:6)
Namor (goes to live with the Petersons)
Randall Peterson
his daughter Nay as a baby

9) postwar (#4 page 3)
Namor (living with the Petersons)
Atlanteans (requiring their prince to return)
Randall Peterson
Nay as a small child

10) vagrant years (#4 page 4) (late 1940s + one generation = 1970s)
Nay as a pregnant woman
Namor (as a vagrant, finds Nay)

11) vagrant years (#4 pages 5 - 6:4)
Namor (living with the Petersons)
Nay Peterson
Roman Peterson as a baby

12) (#4 pages 6:5 - 17:2) (circa 1990)
Namor (recruited by Xavier to find mutants)
Roman Peterson as teenager
Charles Xavier
Wolverine (avoids the other two)

13) (#4 page 17:4)
Namor (renews with the Petersons after regaining memories in FF 4)
Roman Peterson as adult
Nay Peterson
Randall Peterson

Early Marvel era flashbacks
14) (#12 page 1)
Namor walks upon Cap encased in ice. (flashback to The Avengers #4, 1964)

15) "Years ago" Arlington cemetery (#11 Page 1)
Captain America (visits Bucky’s grave, sees a weird flower) "I've only been back in this world for a short time" "My memories are still hazy"
Iron Man (in classic red/yellow armor)

16) (#11 pages 4, 17-18, follow loosely from page 1)
"Atlantis Attacks" headline: "former WW2 hero strikes at New York on behalf of Atlantis", Namor vs Mr. Fantastic photo (=FF@ 1)
Namor
Captain America ("When the Avengers found me last month, when you and I fought, we didn't know each other. But afterwards my memories started coming back to the war... to when you showed me your beautiful home and its flowers")

Not sure when one month after A 4 would be but we have Cap's memories triggered in the TRUTH series (somewhat distorted) and he does remember Zemo in A 6 and the traumatizing incident.
