    Maybe this question has already been answered, but I'll ask it anyway
     As we all know that Namor is Atlanean, but he is also known as Marvel's first mutant. Ummm....How can he be both?

    He's from Atlantis and he's a mutant.  That's a bit like saying Pixie is Welsh and a mutant.  Being an Atlantean usually means you can't breath air... so Namor's mutation gave him pink skin instead of blue, allowed him to fly & live on the surface world.

    @xerox-kitty:  Thank you, this is the answer I was looking for. I am not a fan of Namor, I tried but I just don't get him. But thin this question has been bothering me for awhile now. Thank you.
