Namor isn't Superman, but this went by without so much as a murmur from Marvel - Marvel's first superhero (when you follow back Marvel's corporate pedigree), published in Marvel Comics #1 in October 1939. A monumental omission. Even the New York Times wrote an article about it. this is especially so since online speculation is that Namor will be the villain in the next Black Panther movie.
