I didn't probably pay enough attention in Biology (hated the professor), but isn't Namor a hybrid rather than a mutant? The fact that the same mating situation produced Namora would argue against the mutant claim.

So his Winged-Ankles that allow him to fly are normal in a mix-breeding of a water-race and a human race?

Apparently, yes. Namora didn't have them at first, but when Nyrne did the Namorita-is-a-clone story, he showed that Namora/Namorita came by the ankle-wings genetically, just as Namor did.

The explaination I heard for his flying was that he was controlling the moisture in the air to allow flight. The ankle wings are vestigal.

No reason he can't be both. Teh human side could have carried an x-gene.
