I feel like its been slow going so far and I am only at 990 points, what kind of wiki submissions or updates gets you the most points?
Wiki Tasks give bonus points. AND you can request Wiki Tasks, if there's something you want to work on / fix, to get extra points for doing so.

Also, if you make any changes in the text of entries that require deleting something already there, then you need to do the deletion separately. Otherwise you get much less points for the corrections / additions you made.
namor is an aqua man ripoff he really doesnt interest me and he is a snooty arrogant loser
Your post betrays your ignorance of the character, so I'm not surprised he doesn't interest you. Namor is older than Batman. Aquaman IS the rip off ... of Namor.
I know I'm just nitpicking here but why does it matter if Namor is older than Batman?
Because I'm pretty sure a bunch of other Golden Age Heroes/Villains are older than Batman...
Like who? The list of Golden Age superheroes that are still in use today isn't huge, much less ones older than Batman, who many consider DC second oldest character.
As for why it 'matters' ... it goes to people claiming Namor is a rip off of Aquaman, when clearly, if you're aware of comic book history, that's incorrect.
@xxxddd: You mean besides him constantly thinking himself superior to everyone despite the fact that he's really not, trying to have affairs with married women (both ultimate and 616 Namor) besides him destroying an entire nation (Wakanda) just because he was mad at Black Panther, and how he is a jerk to everyone that's not the aforementioned women he's trying to seduce? Namor is the biggest non villainous douchebag in comics.
Except, of course, none of that is true.
He IS superior to most people in various ways -- his very god clearly thinks so. He's strong, faster, richer, powerful, better looking, can fly, etc. His very blood is magical, and the magic of Atlantis has to flow through him.
Both Emma and Susan Storm were NOT married when Namor first wooed them. Emma STILL is not married. And both women go seeking out Namor, not the other way around. Sue in Civil War and the Old Atlantis story and Emma in their first meeting and in the Cabal. Both of his wives, Dorma and Marrina, were NOT married when he was romancing them. The fact is he's never started a relationship with a woman who was NOT single.
Namor didn't destroy a nation, and he certainly didn't do it because he was mad at Black Panther. He was after the Avengers, and Wanda in particular.
Oh, so when he was helping put Wakanda back together after Doomwar, Namor was being a jerk? And he's such a jerk, especially during WWII, that Cap calls him brother? And when he saved Reed and Sue's marriage, TWICE, he was just being a jerk ... or trying to get in Sue's pants? Namor's only a jerk to people who deserve it and people who don't treat him or Atlantis with respect.
Namor's not a goody two shoes, Captain Whitebread, ordinary superhero -- he's a king with more responsibility than any other hero. He's brutally honest, does not suffer fools, proud ... and sexy -- which clearly some people can't handle.

namor. Aquaman is a douchebag.
Fixed.
Riiight,Namor is a bigger douche than most villains,I've seen villains with more class and character than Namor.
Utter nonsense. I await your list of these villains.
@Rheged said:Please. No one ever says Namor is useless or has stupid powers -- he doesn't have to endlessly prove he's not a joke. He's not a rip off another popular aquatic character. Namor is the far more interesting character.
That's because Namor isn't as popular as Aquaman.
The only people who say he has useless powers are uninformed about comics.
Back then Marvel and DC were copying each other for ideas. Marvel even once made a character inspired by Aquaman ( I can't remember who this character is at the moment).
Popularity has nothing to do with it. The only people that say Aquaman is a better character than Namor are uninformed about comics or are Aquaman fans. I'm curious as to the name of this Marvel character that was based off Aquaman, as I don't recall any. Namor is the original character. He not only inspired the creation of Aquaman, but he's the forerunner of most of comics anti-heroes even today. Grant Morrison's Marvel Boy was inspired by Namor. Geoff Johns clearly drew on Namor for his take on Black Adam. Heck, just look at this thread. The reason why most folks want to be Aquaman has nothing to do with the character and everything to do with his hot wife! Ironically, they want to be like Namor, and romance another man's wife. LOL!
Actually a lot of people here want to be Aquaman because they say that Namor is and I quote "A Douche". They know enough about Namor to decide whether they want to be him or not.
Not really. They don't know enough about Namor at all, if they think he's a douche. He IS threatening to a lot of men, though, hence a lot of the antipathy.
Regardless, my point remains. As an anti-hero, a larger than life, opinionated and sometimes abrasive character, Namor is more interesting than Aquaman.

Aquaman is just a way better character then Namor any day.
