That case of Everett and Namor reminds me when somebody credited Stan Lee and Steve Ditko with Jessica Jones' creation simply because Brian Michael Bendis decided to retcon her into a background character from an early issue of Amazing Spider-Man.

At surface level, the case of characters like Thor and the Asgardians could be considered simple redesigns that warrant no creator credits. However, when these characters were (re)introduced in Journey into Mystery I highly doubt Stan Lee and Jack Kirby considered that they were reusing pre-existing characters. All those elements from the pre-Silver Age era had been abandoned, and Marvel later consolidated the two versions, tying them together.
