Vision And The Scarlet Witch (1985) #7: "Batteries Not Included"

 This is obviously inspired by the release of the Wanda Vision TV Show...


Namor appeared in the previous issue of this mini-series but contributed little more than comic relief. Based on the preview for this issue, it seemed like he played a larger role in this one, but unfortunately that's not the case.

He and Captain America are in the training room at Avengers Mansion when Vision phases through the ceiling and startles them. The distraction causes Namor to get tossed around by their robotic opponents.


That's right, Captain America gets corked by that machine behind him because he's preoccupied by Tony Stark's bottom line. Too bad he let himself be distracted! You can't do that when you're in combat! Jackass...

Vision is there to ask the two of them about the original Human Torch, whose body he inhabits. He is, once again, having an existential crisis of some sort. As a result, we are treated to some brief Invaders flashbacks. 

The information is of little use the Vision, as it turns out, so he takes his search to Project Pegasus. It's a solo thing though, so the former Invaders are not seen beyond these first couple of pages of the book.

I guess that's that. I'd hoped for a full-length guest-appearance but Namor's role was wrapped up by page 5. Bummer.
