That a lighter or a bullhorn will incapacitate a symbiote.
That a clone will have all the memories and be of the same age as the person it is cloned from.
You can take a nuke and walkaway if you are popular enough.

I know you're a fan of Namor however its not a stupid assumption of posters that Namor is class 85. He's been that way for 95% of his existence in comics according to the official bios despite his feats in comics. Now he's been made a low level class 100. Its only with the more recent handbooks that fans were able to find that out so you cant blame them.
Wolverine continually says he's the best at what he does in the comics, its his catchphrase, then he goes on to do quite amazing things given his powers such as surviving nukes, having his adamantium skeleton ripped out and being clinically dead yet bringing himself back to consciousness to prevent Jean falling out of the ship. Theres other things like holding his own against class 100 powerhouses, even getting the better of some of them. I know in at one battle with Grey Hulk wolverine certainly seemed to have the upper hand which is amazing when you compare their abilities.
I just really dont think those things are stupid assumptions for a poster to make. You love Namor therefore you're saying people quite understandably underestimating his strength is stupid. Plus the barrage of wolverine fanboys who overrat ehim and make up ridiculous feats for him has backlashed against peoples affinity for the character on these forums. Its sad because people are losing sight of what he actually is capable of and what he actually has been able to do in the past.

Dude i think u have it mixed up. When in water, Namor is an extremely high Class 100. When fresh out of water, he gradually starts to go down in strength until he hits the CL 85 point. The only time he is ever CL 40 is when he is completely dried out.

You misunderstood him entirely. He meant that people assume that the very second Namor leaves the water, his strength instantly becomes Class 40 as opposed to gradually degrading, as it does.
Or I believe that's what he meant.

Marvels class 100 system is messed up and it needs sorting out. All it means is that that person can lift at least 100 tons however they can more than likely lift 100's of times that amounteven thousands of times that amount if theyre high level.
You're class 100 if you're either level 6 or 7 according to the new marvel rating system. Those of class 6 include those just outside of class 100 and up to those who are medium levellers in that class. Namor is level 6. Only beings like the hulk, Thanos, King Thor and so on are level 7 and are high level class 100. Namor is not.
You've got it wrong Arm. Namor used to be class 85 in water and then after time away from water would eventually dwindle to class 40. Its only as he's gotten stronger in recent times that your way has become correct.

And you've got me completely wrong. There were two sides to his statement. One that Namor is class 85 and the other that from that level he drops to class 40 when he's out of water. Both points contained in his one sentence and both he deemed stupid assumtions. I focused on the first point. Ok?

Well, basically high class 100 means immeasurable.
Thor Herc and the like are so strong that it's nearly impossible to measure their strength.

But how many times I have said that Namor is Clas 100 in these forums? Almost every thread about him. I would just think that people would get it by now...

It doesnt matter how many times you say it, Namors been class 85 for the majority of his life and people know that. He's only officially become low level class 100 recently. People believe comic book scans, they dont go by word of mouth, therefore as its a recent development i dont think its a stupid assumption its completely understandable.

Here's another: Namor flys at 60 mph. I've been looking all the Handbooks that I have, and they say that Namor SWIMS at 60 mph, they don't say anything about flight speed. Marvel Directory is wrong, then.

In the comics he was always show to be in he same class as the Hulk and the like. The moment Marvel said " the strongest of all are class 100 " Namor became one as well. When the rating was class 5 or wharever they named it at the time, Namor was as well.
"That Wonder Woman is not on Superman's level."
She is indeed in the same class, agreed.
"Batman isnt gay"
I feel like trowing a joke but theres no need. "robin" is such a subtle hint.
"There are people that are physically stronger then Hulk"
Theres nothing wrong with this one. There are. We`ve seen it before and if you want the most recent example check out Marvel Team up # 11 where Savage Hulk lost a slugfest in a couple of shots.

Well, if he has unlimited strenght, nobody can be stronger then he is. They can tie with him, but they are not stronger.
olympian
This unlimited strenght thing for me gets me doubts everytime. So ok we`ve seen it stated he has limitess strenght. Now, what does fuels his strenght? rage, right?
Its his rage unlimited?
Because thats not the first time Hulk has lost a slugfest and fought an opponent that was above him in strenght.
And that guy in the recent Marvel Team Up didnt tied, he won.

On land Namor was never consistently shown to be a match for the strongest of marvels characters. He has for the majority of the time been shown to be class 85 in his bios, despite what he did in the comics that was always the case officially therefore it is not a stupid assumption by posters to think of him on that level now. His official placing in that category is a relatively recent development. Even now he is officially level 6 which is from 75 tons up to low level class 100. It is not a stupid assumption he can match the strongest hand to hand even win some battles through sheer ferocity, however in terms of sheer physical power he is not on the level of the likes of Savage Hulk, King Thor and so on.

This is a different kind of assumption... I hate it when adults/other people in general assume that comics are for little kids and toddlers just because the only comics they know of are the comic strips from newspapers...

Then those adults should read some stuff...like Supreme Power...or Ultimates. Most comics are for teens, not toddlers.

If she is its due to the fact he's been powered down consistently the last few years...
and those omac issues were f*cked up...
GalacticStorm
I dont think she is on supermans level. I dont think its a stupid assumption to think she's not because its not glaringly obvious that she is. If it came to an all out battle to the death and they were being ruthless i believe Superman would take her out quite decisively.

Yeah, I agree... I got my older bro into reading some of the Ultimate stuff (he's not much of a comic book fan, but now he kind of is) so that was cool...

i honestly still believe that she's close, but a tad lower on all fronts...
