Rick Jones in Return of the Defenders crossover

 I'm compiling all three of the four issues into one post for space, and not much to say on each individually as they are in the one storyline. 

Rick Jones is possessed by Namor (I don't know, demonic possession). Namor isn't pleased with wearing so many clothes, and finds a pair of his iconic speedos and puts them on as Rick. So basically we get Rick Jones in nothing but a scale speedo for three whole issues!

Namor, the Sub-Mariner Annual #2
Namor in Rick's body finds his pair of speedos, that somehow fits on Rick's "puny body" (the bad guy calls him "girly boy", Rick just catching homophobic strays). Rick's body is temporarily granted Atlantean powers for Namor to survive, but is captured by Shanzar. 











Silver Surfer Annual #5

Rick/Namor is captured and bound in chains (still in his speedo) for most of the issue, before Stephen frees him. 










Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme Annual #2

The final showdown with Shanzar. The villain changes Namor back to Rick Jones, who accidentally helps defeat a demon by falling on it (nice butt shot). After the battle is won, Hulk congratulates who he thinks is Namor, but accidentally knocks Rick over (my king can't get a break this event). He and Hulk leap off into the sunset. 







Rick seems more in a hurry to catch Letterman than he is getting dressed. Love that for him!
