Well... Llyra's boy sure did grow up fast...

Not someone I'm very familiar with, but I'll leave this here so those of you more familiar with the character can make commentary.

Amazing Spiderman 214

OH FUCK OFFFFFF THAT DOESN’T FUCKING COUNT, DIPSHIT! He pronounced them Prince Namor and Princess DORMA. DORMA’S name is in the scroll of sovereigns. YOU ARE NOT DORMA . Why the FUCK would anyone consider this marriage binding??

Iirc there are 4 (remaining?) elder gods in 616, spawned from the demiurge (probably most closely tied to Billy). Of marvel’s heroes, there are a few with prominent connections to them: Wanda (chthon), Storm (oshtur), and Thor (gaea, though I started thinking about this when she appeared to nature girl a while back). Are there any characters you can think of that are connected to Set in a thematically similar way? It would be really interesting if someone explored these connections as you suggested

Gaea, Oshtur, Set, and Chthon are the most prominent of the surviving Elder Gods, but they're not the only ones. The current Immortal Thor series has established that the Utgard-Loki and Utgard-Thor are, in fact, part of the original pantheon of Elder Gods of Earth, who were sealed in Utgard by their sister, Gaea. The Utgard-Thor's true name is Toranos, but the Utgard-Loki's true name has yet to be revealed. In the past, Utgard's residents, Those Who Sit Above In Shadow, have been referred as the Elder Gods of Agard. I'm curious if that will retconned, or if this new backstory only applies to Toranos and his brother.

Anyways, to answer your actual question, Set doesn't really get as much as page time as his siblings, and his influence tends to be felt in more subtle ways-- relatively speaking, of course. There aren't any A-list characters with direct connections to him, especially not heroes. Set is heavily involved in the history of Atlantis and Lemuria-- in particular, the Lemurian royal family carries his bloodline. Llyra, who is a recurring Namor villain, is a priestess of Set who frequently appears as the bearer of the Serpent Crown.

She's probably the most closely connected character to Set, but she only has 43 appearances and hasn't been in any comics since 2007. So, in terms of representation, you can tell Set really gets the short end of the stick

Another interesting villain is the sorcerer Damballah*, who was an early enemy of Doctor Voodoo. He's a human devotee of Set with no connection to Lemuria. It would be cool for him to come back, but it should come as no suprise that the character is... kinda racist and might be difficult to update for modern comics.

There are multiple characters and entities named Damballah in the Marvel universe. Damballah, or Damballa, is the name of a deity or spirit in African diaspora religions. Like most polytheistic gods, this deity does exist in the Marvel universe as a living being, and appears alongside other African and African-diaspora religious figures in the gods realms Olun and Bondye. He primarily goes by the name Dam-Ayido Wede.

Damballah is also the name of an Elderspawn demon, who is in fact the child of Set.

The sorcerer Damballah's real name is Josué Koulèv, and he was a devotee of Set who received powers from the Elder God through a magical amulet. He used the name Damballah to pose as a the loa and gather a cult following.

Also, in case you're wondering, Set and the Egyptian god Seth are distinctly separate entities in the Marvel world, unlike Gaea, who is the same as the Greek goddess.

When Namor refuses Llyra’s offer to join her conquest, she sets her attack eels on him. Namor underestimates her pet eels as he gets zapped, bitten and choked by those creatures.

Ok, so a few things here... first, with Llyra being an air breather, it tracks that she would survive the rising to the surface... also, how terrible would it be being chained up and watching all of your jailers suffocate to death, but still being trapped after they all died...

We also get the confirmation that Vyrra injected himself into Llyron's mind instead of Llyra.

Also, I like that Namor doesn't free her.. just tosses her a fish and wishes her the best. After everything Llyra has done to him, all the people close to him she has killed, it is very cathartic. And this is pretty much it for her too, so we know she likely dies here... I guess she has 2 small appearances in like 15 years, but those could be flashbacks or something...

Anyway, Lyrra makes a line directly to Atlantis to place her totally 16-year-old son onto the throne as soon as she possibly can.
