Namor has no sense of smell, apparently.

And really, why would you need one underwater? I mean, sharks smell blood, sure, but the humanoid nose isn't really equipped, I'd think, to dealing with that kind of input.

Why do I say the mighty Sub-Mariner has no sense of smell? Is it in a comic someplace? Not that I know of. No, I'm watching Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, and in the episode "Seven Little Superheroes", Prince Namor is duped into a superluxe tub/pool of steaming hot, constantly fountaining... alcohol. He thought it was water.

Didn't he notice the fumes?

Namor: Strong as an orca, dumb as a barnacle.

*LOL* Yes! That! He was so offended by the force field, too! Watching him bounce off of it was like watching a fishie bonk his nose on the tank glass. "Why is this here??"
