In "Part One" of The Marvels Project: Birth of the Super Heroes, the simmering tension between the surface world and the undersea realm reaches a boiling point as Namor, still driven by vengeance, hunts those he blames for past betrayals—especially the Human Torch. With German scientists now linked to an unexpected Atlantean faction, the fragile balance of power begins to unravel. Written by Ed Brubaker and illustrated with sharp precision by Steve Epting, this pivotal issue sets the stage with a moody, grounded tone, while Dave Stewart’s colors and Chris Eliopoulos’ lettering add depth to the unfolding conflict. The cover by Steve McNiven captures the storm brewing beneath the waves.
