Loa
Character » Loa appears in 567 issues.
Loa is a mutant with the ability to dissolve the molecular bonds of anything she touches. She also gained the ability to breathe underwater from an Atlantean Amulet that her grandmother obtained from her friend who was Namor's old girlfriend.
great just great
" @IrishX: Those are Atlantean tattoos. Has it been stated whether the markings on Loa's face are part of her mutation, or tattoos? Because it would be strange for a young girl to have tattoos before she turned 18 (which she was during Kyle & Yost's run on New X-Men). "In Namor #5 Loa's tattoos are indeed a part of her mutation. They appear on her skin when she uses her powers to save her "dad" from a Great White Shark. @IrishX said:
"Interesting. Can anyone confirm this?
Looking at this picture of namorita it would help expain the markings on Loa's body....
"
Loa's tattoos do look a lot like Namora's
They're are indeed some similarities between the two. And while it first appears that Namor is not Loa's Grandfather, him welcoming her "home" at the end of the issue raises the question.
Thanks for the info.
@xerox-kitty:
Sorry if that pic was wrong to post. Just thought it showed the marking best. While it would be odd for a young girl to have tattoos you also have to consider that she's suppose to be from Hawaii where tribal tattooing is more common and socially acceptable.
I wish someone would give a clear explanation of what Loa is doing in the new Namor title, what's been happening in it, and when did her tattoos become only visible when she's actively using her powers (otherwise it made no sense to go to India with them constantly on show).
For my favorite MOD:" I wish someone would give a clear explanation of what Loa is doing in the new Namor title, what's been happening in it, and when did her tattoos become only visible when she's actively using her powers (otherwise it made no sense to go to India with them constantly on show). "
Loa showed up in Namor in issue 2 alongside Emma on a visit to New Atlantis, where she brought him some findings from Doc Nemesis. She said she wanted to see Atlantis plus she knows a sh!£ ton about Atlantis and other stuff. Namor kinda writes her off. Then in issue #4 she and Logomancer (Namor's royal mage/scientist) have come up with a way to beat the Underwater Vamps. Its in the issue where her Amulet that allowed her to breathe underwater. Then when the battle was over she hugged Namor and he thanked her for helping out. Then in issue 5 we learn how the amulet came into Loa's possession. Her Grandmother was Namor's old roomate's ex-gf, but at the end of the issue Namor welcomed her "Home." As for her tattoos they first manifested when she first used her powers to save her dad from a Great White Shark and they've been their ever since
Yep, Namor rescued Loa and her Dad from the sharks, saw Loa's grandmother and asked if Loa was her granddaughter. She told him yes, and he apologized for his actions back in the 1940s saying he was young. Loa's GM accepts his apology and tries to give him back the amulet but he says its not his anymore.
I'm glad that Loa is getting some major panel time, and some deeper exploration into her past. But... it's still not enough to make me buy a Namor series :)
" @Gawdzilla: Namor's in Hell too? It must be crowded with so many X-Men down there already ;) I'm glad that Loa is getting some major panel time, and some deeper exploration into her past. But... it's still not enough to make me buy a Namor series :) "
@xerox-kitty:
yeah agreed loa is cool but stil not a reason for me do read namor
Loa is not Namor's grand daughter....Namor was dating Loa's grandmother's roommate and not Loa's Grandmother
At least we know what his 'Connection to the New Generation of X-Men' is. Even if it is a teensy bit more obscure than was hyped.
" @danhimself said:maybe so but Namor hadn't seen Loa's grandmother in years and she hated him while he was dating her roommate" Loa is not Namor's grand daughter....Namor was dating Loa's grandmother's roommate and not Loa's Grandmother "Yeah but the whole "Welcome Home" bit was odd at the end "
" @Gawdzilla said:He did offer to sleep with her though" @danhimself said:maybe so but Namor hadn't seen Loa's grandmother in years and she hated him while he was dating her roommate "" Loa is not Namor's grand daughter....Namor was dating Loa's grandmother's roommate and not Loa's Grandmother "Yeah but the whole "Welcome Home" bit was odd at the end "
