History
Ian Langstrom was a Naval Oceanographer assigned to Hydropolis where he worked with Namor, Carrie Alexander, Walter Newell, and Diane Arliss-Newell. When Namor's company Oracle couldn't afford the high cost of funding Hydropolis the Navy picked up the bill, a fact that greatly displeased Namor.[1]
Carrie Alexander had feelings for Ian after things did not work out with Namor.[2]
