Notes
- In the 1950s, in the wake of the success of the DC Comics series The Adventures of Superman, a rival series starring Namor the Sub-Mariner was considered. Some details about the series were revealed in an interview Bill Everett gave Roy Thomas in 1969/1970, which did not see the light of day until 2005, when it was published in the March 2005 issue of Alter Ego magazine. The idea to adapt Namor into a live-action format came from Frank Saverstein (Roy Thomas has suggested that the name may be Saperstein, but if so, it is worth noting that he is not related to his namesake), who enlisted the help of Herb Shriner and Arthur Godfrey, and Everett was set to participate in the production as a story consultant. Although the deal with Martin Goodman, then head of Atlas Comics, was not completed, the crew was so enthusiastic that it was ready to start filming the pilot, for which they bought various underwater equipment and a PT boat. Actor Richard Egan was assigned to play Namor. Despite all this, filming never began, and the series itself was soon canceled.
- There are no any plot details, but it is known that Namor was to have the same powers as in his early appearances in the WWII-era comics.
- A photo of Richard Egan as Namor circulating online is actually a photoshopped picture.
