HONOURS - SUB-MARINER

(Human Torch v1 006, 1941) 

Just one issue after attempting to conquer the world (and sinking a US fleet in the process), Namor is commissioned as an honorary admiral in the US Navy (for saving a different US fleet from sinking).

HONOURS - SUB-MARINER

(Human Torch v1 003, 1940)

After helping foil a Nazi faux-Japanese* invasion of the US and only committing a few hundred war crimes, Namor is personally thanked by FDR and given a big parade.

*confusion arose from the fact that Namor had already tangled with a group of Nazis in NYC and a Nazi-analog invasion fleet in the Atlantic in the same issue, but the invasion fleet that he's receiving kudos for above was definitely in the Pacific.

HONOURS - SUB-MARINER

(Marvel Mystery Comics v1 020, 1941) 

It's a bit marginal, but this is a boxing match between Namor the Sub-Mariner and Killer Casey, the Heavyweight Champion of (the US/ the World). Was it for the title? Who knows, but Namor won.
