Comrade Namor

Comrade Namor

He teams up with Bruce Banner and most of his alters on an explicit mission to destroy capitalism, starting off by bankrupting the too big to fail Roxxon Corporation (whose CEO is a literal minotaur FYI, the shit kind.) 'Humans' as referred to there is about the destructiveness and unsustainability of how we treat the planet and each other. It's not a genetically loaded term here. Also, he just cooked Bruce a clam chowder. It's nice to look after our friends.

Comrade Namor

This is an in universe advert from the 90s where he declares war on any company that doesn't respect the planet, AKA all of them. Interestingly he uses inverted Marxist language to threaten from a position of strength - 'the oceans themselves as capital' is so huge a concept. No doubt he was pushing the limits of what critique capitalism can subsume into itself.

It's also strategically fascinating, IMO. Declaring war on countries is a historical Namor tactic with no winners. Corporations have no sovereignty to protect, no allies to call on, and you can't lobby for tariffs on Atlantis.

Except they may as well, because as ever, Marvel presents a liberal fantasy of human improvement and progressiveness. Corporations do what they do with the aid and permission of states, and neoliberalism can't exist without the free market. Marvel itself is profit-first and will never take any action that hinders that (intentionally) - but they will present the 'illusion of change' especially if the message itself is profitable to publish. I'm not saying anything new here, of course, but I think it'd be intellectually dishonest to not point out that the desired and eternal status quo isn't just restricted to the pages.

BEE TEE DUBS, if you haven't read Immortal Hulk, it's amazing. Al Ewing is a master and really pushes the limits of what comics can do, plus the Hulk says trans rights and fuck capitalism!

when u think about it of course marvel had to ruin 2012!bruce banner. because they introduced this brilliant humble and empathetic man who was anti military with a wicked sense of biting sarcasm. who was so against the hulk being used in warfare that he’d rather live off the grid in calcutta wearing a dirty suit & with very little money to his name. who was hunted and lied to by thaddeus ross & the us government, and threatened to be put into a cage and experimented on, whose body was going to be used for destruction, to the point that he tried to kill himself. so he learned to control the hulk. to control his anger. who was distrustful, and rightly so. who realized his trust had been taken advantage of yet again when he saw the cage on the helicarrier, and still stayed to help. who rode thru nyc on a vespa to the battle, and revealed that his secret wasn’t that he was dangerous bc he had no control over the hulk, but bc he did. of course they had to ruin him. how could they let a character like that exist? how could they get a character like that to agree to be apart of a govt task force of soldiers & fighters, when his hands were made to help not harm?

@fadel-dani is only 23 years old, a third-year IT student, and he and his family have been displaced multiple times in the genocide.

When his university was destroyed by Israel, he registered to study remotely. Imagine the world falling apart around you and still trying to complete your school work!

When his family, after being displaced 5 times, returned to their home, bombs were dropped, and they survived an explosion which destroyed their house. He fainted. Fadel woke up in a hospital and learned that, because hospitals in the north of Gaza had completely collapsed, he and his family were transported under extremely dangerous conditions to a hospital in the south of the Gaza. Further he learned that while unconscious, he had undergone surgery to remove iron fragments that shot into his body in the bombing. Because of the extreme danger and the collapse of the health system, some of the pieces could not removed at their location. The doctor assessed his health and told his family that he needs to receive treatment in another country as soon as possible.

Obviously, doing so safely requires coordination and funds for both travel and the surgical fees once they get to a hospital. They have been trying to raise funds since then. He had bled a lot that day. His normal bloodcount is weak because he has thalassemia. The price of the medicine is too high for them to afford, and so he has fainted many times.

So far they have waited over 300 days to meet their fundraising goal so he can get needed surgery. 300 days of suffering the physical and psychological pain of feeling shrapnel from the Israeli bombing that destroyed his childhood home embedded in his body.

He is currently sitting in a tent, sending me messages on tumblr.

His campaign was vetted (gazavetters #197), and you can help him raise funds to get medical care as soon as possible by sending some funds here:
