I can't seem to enter a comment at the end of that article but someone should. The writer of the article completely missed two follow-up stories. Wasn't there a Namor annual where he fought a Plodex hoard and it was supposed to be one or more of the children? Also, the writer says nothing about the 3rd Alpha Flight series and "Mar". I know that it was never actually stated in the series, but the ending certainly suggested that he was one of the children.
