And Jonathan Hickman is continuing the excellent condition of Namor being an utter dick in his Illuminati run

Okay I giggled when I saw him lay one on Caps jaw like that. He didn't take his head off so at least he was holding back???

Dunna about Noh-Varr. But whatever his old characterisation was, it was better than what Young Avengers has given him. I'm surprised no one has called foul, but I guess no one really cares. Which is fair enough. Though he better not say 'hater'. I like his new beard though.

So why did Namor make him kiss the concrete?

One does NOT tell Imperius Rex to put on pants.

Oddly, his old characterization WAS Namor's. Specifically, GA Namor, who was a hotheaded jerk with a chip on his shoulder.

But that personality ceased to exist when Bendis got ahold of him. So Gillen's "cosmic hipster" take is as good as any, I suppose.

Though it's worth noting that he had every right to have a chip on his shoulder since his ship was destroyed by humans (IRRC) and they then captured him and tried to torture him for information and Kree technology.

I think you have it in a nutshell why nobody cares.

Haha, very true, though I was being vague out of laziness. Though I' a fan of writers working with what they're given, in terms of characterisation rather than just throwing it all out.

Characters are people with personalities, personalities are fluid and change when enough pressure is put upon them. If Gillen really wanted Noh-Varr to be a space-hipster, I wish he'd at least put the page work in to do it.
