Prince Namor vs. Aquaman!

[Hector]

You and me both. I used to like Batman but he is so mythed out and has done things so far off the scale by writers that he isn't even an enjoyable character and is starting to become annoying like GI Joe. (Well, maybe not that bad but it is starting to get close.)

I couldn't have said it better myself.

...and writers always do the opposite for Batman (who I'm beginning to hate his guts, lol)...Aquaman can't defeat Batman in his own water element??? For Christ's sake...just take off his bloody snorkel mask, lol.

I have a Brave and the Bold comicbook from the early 80s when I was just a little kid where Batman makes an fool out of Aquaman. They go round and round and Aquaman eventually admits his defeat and "gives in". It was a sad fight.

If that is all it took for Aquaman to "give in" to Batman. Namor who has gone toe to toe with Hulk and Powerman. Would rip Aquaman's head off and....(Well, let's just leave it at that.)

Is that Superman?

I just thought this was a cool demonstration of what Aquaman could do with his water hand by Patrick Gleason - Aquaman #29 (2005).

I really hate when writers diminish Superman so he can lose to lesser opponents.

I mean come on...Supes can dive into the yellow sun...but he's rendered immobile by popsicle fingers? Water hand???

I mean really...Namor can go toe to toe with the Hulk...and Aquaman can barely keep up with Batman, lol.

I love Aquaman and think he is more popular but I got to go with Namor.
But, if we think about it. Aquaman has really not stayed the same in strength over the years. Now, he could probably duke it out with Namor. About a decade ago in that B&B issue Namor would have mopped the floor with him.

When he first came out he was massively strong and then in the 80's he sort of went to normal human strength.
With the Peter David run in the 90's his strength seemed to increase.
It really is hard to place Aquaman on scale.

In the Golden Age he was tempered and full of rage with great strength.
Don’t **** off Golden Age Aquaman… he’ll throw a polar bear at your ***. Seriously. Here is the splash page from More Fun Comics #85 (1942).




Aquaman #0 (1994) from the third ongoing series drawn by Marty Egeland. In the story by Peter David, Aquaman goes bat-***** crazy after losing his hand. So what does he do? He shoves a harpoon into the pulpy-meaty stub of an arm that he’s left with. Niiiiiiiiiice.
After this transformation, his strength seemed to go back up to super human to almost Spider-man level.



Then take a look at when Aquaman got his "water hand" powers. Take A look at what he could do with his new powers.

Is that Superman?

Sorry, I got long winded when talking about one of my favorite characters.

You are one to talk,.. Not Knowing that Batman has repeatedly Kicked Superman's arse in the comics.

On the surface, I'd say Namor. He's gone toe-to-toe with Hulk, Thor, the Fantastic Four, Hercules, Silver Surfer — all the Marvel heavy hitters.

As for Aquaman, he has super strength, but he's nowhere near as strong as say Superman, Captain Marvel, Martian Manhunter, Power Girl, Super Girl, Wonder Woman and others.

But, then again, in my own mind, I've always felt the DC characters were portrayed as more powerful on average than the Marvel characters. Marvel's characters are more grounded, while DC's characters are more fantastic.

Despite the various company crossovers, in their own universes Superman does things with his strength that Hulk, Thor and the other Marvel powerhouses just don't do.

In my mind, Superman's much stronger than the Hulk or Thor. So if that's the case, maybe Aquaman could hang with Namor.

But, if all things are equal with say Hulk and Thor's power being equivalent to Superman or Captain Marvel or Wonder Woman, then poor ol' Arthur wouldn't have a chance.

Namor would grab Aquaman and use him as a trident and embed him in the side of an underwater cavern.

Gotta say Aquaman,simply because he road that awesome seahorse in the Super Friends cartoon.

Those are Batman writers who keep taking over those stories...but we all know that's impossible.

Batman is not even worthy of washing Supes' dirty jockstraps.

Sub-Mariner first appeared in October of 1939-Aquaman didn't come along until November, 1941.
I like Aquaman, but I think Namor could easily take him.

[BlackKnight]

Boy...you better brush up on your comic book history, lol.
