The following contains major spoilers for Namor #7, on sale now from Marvel Comics.

Namor has just uncovered the ancient truth behind the fall of Atlantis — and it is more horrifying than he ever imagined.

Namor #7 finds the titular hero caught in the middle of an all-out war between himself and seven entire armies. While Namor is lucky enough to wield the Trident of Neptune, which grants him greater strength and power than ever before, it does nothing to help ease his reeling from the revelation that came with acquiring it. As it turns out, the vision of Atlantis' fall and rise that Namor saw during his time in the Grotto of the Ancients also provided him the opportunity to commune with none other than Neptune, God of the Sea. And, while that might otherwise provide Namor with some amount of comfort, discovering that it was Neptune himself who was personally responsible for the Great Cataclysm does anything but.

Although the Neptune of Marvel Comics had been seen over two decades prior, he wouldn't make his modern day debut until Stan Lee and Gene Colan's opening story from the pages of 1965's Tales to Astonish #70, "The Start of the Quest!" Born over ten thousand years ago as Poseidon Aegaeus, the Olympian known as King Neptune was born to the Titan Cronus and Rhea. Like his siblings, Poseidon was incarcerated in Tartarus out of Cronus' profoundly twisted paranoia that one of his children would be the death of him. When Zeus escaped Cronus' gaze and freed his siblings, Poseidon joined in the fight against the Titans and was crowned the King of the Seas in the aftermath of the Olympians' victory.
