X-Men Red (2018) #1 Variant Covers

The first issue of X-Men Red was solicited a few weeks before I started this little blog so since I wasn't looking for him at the time, I was not aware that Namor is actually a part of the team.


THE FIRST SENSATIONAL ARC OF AN ALL-NEW TEAM OF X-MEN STARTS HERE! 
JEAN GREY is back! Returned to a world she doesn't recognize, the First Lady of the X-MEN gathers an unlikely team — NIGHTCRAWLER, NAMOR and LAURA KINNEY (A.K.A. ALL-NEW WOLVERINE) — to face an evil that threatens to tear down XAVIER's dream by any means necessary!
I haven't read this book and if it continues to be priced at $4.99 for the digital version, it will be a damn long time before I do. But I did find out that, in typical Marvel fashion, it comes with several variant covers. One of them happens to include some biographical info about our Prince so I've set up a page specific to displaying it. It is called "Basics" above. It lists some (debatable) key moments in Namor's history and therefore might make for a handy reference guide as well.

There's another variant cover which displays Namor very prominently but unfortunately, it was "drawn" by the notorious Rob Liefeld. You can have a look at that below or, alternatively, stab yourself in the eyeballs with rusty butter knives. The end result will be similar.
