Namor is probably faster though. I don't know much on Starfire but Namor can catch missles easily.

Starfire

Devil Lance
so we all agree Starfire wins

Jimmy-Chan
I dunno about Starfire taking Namor. He's definitely stronger and probably as fast (she didn't look lightspeed in 52), but he's vulnerable to heat. However, he's whupped Sunfire before, who had Starfire's powerset. OTOH, I think Starfire is stronger than Sunfire. This is a tough call.

she was at low power during 52

and shes way stronger than sunfire shes stalemated Donna Troy countless times and held her own against WW

You also can't forget ehr Nova Blast
I'd give it to Kory 7-8/10 wink

Jimmy-Chan
Sunfire took some hits from Titannus, who is Thanos level. I'd place Sunfire near Starfire's level of strength, though not quite there. And Starfire was at full power in 52. I'd like to see some references where she moves lightspeed. In fact, I'd like to know where she stalemated Donna. Not that I doubt that she could, since Donna as WG was only like at the level of Superboy when he first started out, but I'd like to see it for later reference.


Namor's also beaten The Human Torch, BTW. Minus her fireblasts, Namor would take her a solid majority. I'm just not convinced that her fire would ENTIRELY make up for the large strength/durability difference.

Wonder Woman would murder Starfire.

Laminator_X
This would be a good fight. If Kori keeps her cool and controls distance she's got a decent shot. If she fails to do either of those things I give this to Namor.

roll eyes (sarcastic)

I'm not taliking about Donna as WG although Kori has betaen he rbefor eas wg many times

I'm talking about in the Return of Donna Troy #3 Starfire stalemated Donna who had gotten a power boost from the titans of myth.

and yes starfire was at low power dring 52
see http://img400.imageshack.us/my.php?image=page00008yz4.jpg

Starfire can also nova blast Namor
since her nova blast ko'ed her sister and destroyed Braniac's Nattle ship during the Outsiders Teen Titans crossover the Insiders

Starfire wins 7-8/10

Um, you realize WHY her power was low there, right? Because they'd been in space for a WEEK. They were moving further from the sun, meaning she had less power to absorb. She was at full power when it was stated that she's nowhere near the translight speeds needed to take them home.

Now then, when has she been stated as able to move light speed?

OTOH, Superman took her blast to no effect, and it barely phased Orion. I put Namor's durability near theirs. Those weren't novas, but she was attacking them all-out. As for Braniac's battleship, we don't know how durable it is as no one else of any great power level tried to break it. In the same story, armored Lex Luthor whupped Starfire. As for her sister, isn't she like the same strength level as Starfire, namely significantly weaker than Namor?

Not seeing it. Namor has a history of fighting foes with similar heat blasts and flight, and he's quite a bit stronger/more durable than Starfire.


Let's get one thing straight at least: the only reason I'm not giving Namor 7-8/10 is because he has a weakness to being dehydrated. I can see her exploiting that for some wins, even though he has a history of dealing with powerful fire-based foes. However, it's obvious that his strength is leagues above Kory's.

Jimmy-Chan
BTW, I checked one of those links ... And LOL @ someone mentioning that Starfire "fought" Orion. She got really POed about Orion KOing Risk and sucker-blasted him. He easily shrugged off her blast (he was even talking as she poured it on) and took her out with one shot of Astro-Force. That's one of the worst showings to reference if you want to claim Kory's strength is in Namor's league.


Personally, I put Starfire's strength somewhere above Ms. Marvel, but below Knockout. So class 60-70ish Marvel terms. Namor's more like a low-end class 100.

UniOmni
Namor beats her senseless.

She stalemates Wondergirl............So what?

Namor would impregnate Wonder Girl, Donna Troy!!

She doesn't hold her own against Diana. She pesters Diana.

And i'd give Namor 4/10 vs Diana anyday.

Starfire is only lightspeed in space. She's never shown the capabilities while on Earth.

Her best bet would be to use the Nova blast that she used on Brainiac 13 in The Insiders.

Outside of that, she gets beaten brutally.

Jimmy-Chan
Actually, she did pretty well against WW. But that was high end and not representative of her average. She didn't looked so good against Superman, Orion, Captain Marvel, or Sabbac. Personally, I'd give Namor an even split with WW if she had no lasso. With her lasso, I'd give WW a slight edge over Namor.

UniOmni
Diana was trying to talk down an enraged Starfire.

Its like me dealing with any angry younger cousin. I could onepunch the little bastard, but since i care about her, i'll simply let her vent, and wait it out.

Thats pretty much all Wonder Woman did.

You put Namors durability near supermans laughing

seriously laughing

please tell me your joking sad

Superman is so more durable then Namor it isn't even funny

Now on to your other illinformed points

1. no one on the outsiders or Teen Titans had been able too take out Braniac's ship. Starfire was the only one who could do it. Also Branica himself wa sko'ed by nova blast

2. blackfire was amped up by Omar Syan before the fight so much so that she was able to take out both sift and Jade and Shift of the Outsiders before falling to Starfire . Blackfire even with Omar Syans power up was in awe of Starfire's nova blast.

3. now on to your points on Supreman and Orion. The two altercations between Starfire and Superman that I can recal is one in teen titans and another in superman/batman.

In the teen titans issue Starfire blasted Superman and he just took it it however Starfire wasobviously not trying to injure him.

Now the Superman Batman issue . Thats just anothe rexample of Jeph Loebs horrible writing He ha d Superman act lik he had never met Starfiree bfore which is not true at all.

now in the jLA Techinis imperative which I assume is the Orion and Starfire fight your taling about it seemed like to me that starfire was matching the astrofforce with her starbolst for a bit and that wasn't even he rmost powerful attack.

Now on the Lex Lutor fight again that was writen by Jeph Loeb however Lex gave Supergirl and superman good fights in that armor also Starfie wa sbale to catch up to supergirl in flight even though Supergirl left a while before Starfire did which speaks voluwms about Starfires folight speed.

I still give Starfire the majority 7-8/10

Do you have ANY basis for such a statement other than preconceived notions? I'm going by Namor's performances against people such as:


*The Hulk
*Thor
*Iron Man
*The Silver Surfer
*Wonder Man
*Hercules
*The Thing
*Captain Mar-Vell
*War Machine
*Shrugging off The In-Betweener's attack, despite the fact that it KOed She-Hulk



He has been portrayed as an equal to The Hulk ON LAND before. Saying he is nowhere near Superman is to say that Thor is not a peer to Supes.

She doesn't match, withstand, or remain conscious against the Astro-Force for even a single panel. Orion, OTOH, is unharmed and talking as he is engulfed by her blast.

The first one, yeah. Lex beating her ass in the Insiders arc was Geoff Johns, however. In fact, he took her blast to no effect. Then in the next issue of the arc, Superboy was tearing Lex's armor apart.

The only thing close between these two would be durability. WW has him bested in everthing.

I disagree. They looked to me to be going at each other with similar intensity. It was just a high end Starfire showing/low end WW showing. Geoff Johns isn't the most consistent guy when it comes to power levels.

Jimmy-Chan
I know plenty about WW, for the record. I'd go so far as to says that high-end Namor is stronger than high-end WW. He's been portrayed as literally equal to The Hulk on land, and slugged evenly with Hercules. WW's best showings against top tiers involve outskilling them, not trading blows. If you want to go into low showings ... Well, I can do that too. On average Namor's equal to WW in strength.

I think people just underrate Namor because they ignorantly see him as basically Aquaman or something.

Jimmy-Chan

What? Namor is MORE durable than WW, IMO. She's been stunned by a single top tier hit lots of times, and is generally easier to hurt than he is by lower tiers. Their strength is even, while she's more skilled.

Are you guys going to counter the numerous fights I've mentioned regarding Namor vs. Marvel's top tier (including Hulk, Thor, Hercules, etc.) which can be seen in DarK Crawler's respect thread, or do you plan to just keep saying "OMG! I can't belive yu rank him there! That's soooo stoopid!!!1" as if that's a valid counter ...?

If you think WW and Namors strength is equal well....I wish you luck with that.

UniOmni
Namor has a winning record against enraged Hulks.

Has broken bands that iirc, even the Hulk wasn't able to bust.

Taken Thor and looked evenish.

Has oneshotted Beta Ray Bill.

Namor imo, has better blunt force durability. WW handles heat better than him, naturally.

Her speed is better as well.

But he has superspeed handmovement, and great skill.

He's even or stronger than her, has better durability that counts here, but has less speed than her.

Her skill is greater than his, but her gear is what puts her over the top, imo.

Namor has his own feats. They just aren't as well known as the more popular characters.

Sure. You clearly have little knowledge of Namor's track record or are in outright denial of it, however. If you refuse to acknowledge continuity and simply claim Namor is at whatever level you want him to be at, I don't see the point in even posting in threads involving him. My opinions are based on Namor's actual showings. If someone wants to prove me wrong, we can compare battle feats. Given that I've seen virtually all of WW and Namor's notable fights, I'm more than prepared to back up my opinion with a ton of continuity.

WW helps pull the Moon and Namor braces a huge ship(underwater) for their best feats. WW lifts huge mountain ranges and Namor has a hard time flying with a huge boat anchor for mid-level feats.

Who is stronger?

UniOmni
Namor one punches Beta Ray Bill.

What feat does WW have thats even comparable?

Avalonofthewind
Is that a feat for Namor or a low showing for Bill?

Neither, imo.

It'd be a low showing if Ironman did that.

Namor is top tier, bonafide.

He might not have the lifting feats, but thats moreso DC's thing.

He's beaten or fought enough elite top tiers to be able to one punch a top tier and not get calls of bullshit, imo.

Avalonofthewind
Off the top of my head.

Holding up Asmodel's chariot by herself for a while.

Being punched from the sun to earth at speeds faster than light and getting up to keep fighting.

UniOmni
IIRC, the chariot lifting wasn't the feat.

Wasn't it, the whole lifting it while burning thing?

And kudos on the superpunch call.

It was both..the fact that she didn't automatically burst into flames was damn good too.

She pulled a good number on Primaid as well...and I'd put a white martian above Namor.

snoopdogg
And most of Namors good showing were underwater. He can pull maybe a 5/10 underwater with WW. But on land he's gonna bite the dust.

UniOmni
Even though some of his best showing occur outside the water?

If I'm not mistaken weren't most of those underwater? Namor keeps his speed in the water where those characters are probably slower than on land.

Now that I think about it it was falling at a descent speed which would make it ALOT harder than just lifting it. Her best feats include being a trio in moving the Moon.

Who is stronger?


1. WW "helping" with a lift doesn't count as an individual feat, especially when there are beings stronger than her helping with it.

2. WW has also been pinned by a tree, nearly broke her arm stopping a falling missile, stated her muscles were strained to the max holding up a collapsing bridge, etc. I'm going by battle feats rather than environmental crap since battle feats are infinitely more definitive.

3. Namor's best environmental feat is probably that enormous earthquake caused by his collision with The Hulk. Although he's probably done something better at one point. One would have to ask Dark Crawler.

Jimmy-Chan
You guys are really pushing her stopping a random chuck of asteroid as a major feat? I'm more impressed by the time Iron Man destroyed a chunk of rock the size of Manhattan by ramming into it. Is Iron Man suddenly leauges beyond Namor due to that instance?

Surfer was underwater. Thor and Hulk have been underwater and on land (he was once portrayed as equal to The Hulk in a slugfest on land.) He's matched Hercules in slugging, stunned Wonder Man with a single kick, owned Super Skrull, bashed Iron Man, held his own with Thor, shrugged off an attack that KOed She-Hulk, owned The Thing, etc. on land.

Underwater, he BEATS The Hulk.

She also got one-shotted by another White Martian in the same story arc. In fact, the White Martians stated that WW and Aquaman combined were less formidable than a single pacifist Daxamite. What she did to Primaid was based on skill rather than strength (drawing her into space and outlasting her in lung capacity.) WW's been handled easily by Martians (white and otherwise) elsewhere.

Nevertheless, I'll admit her showing against Primaid and the punch to the other WM were impressive. However, Namor can easily duplicate those feats.

Not exactly, but Namor was portrayed as easily The Hulk's equal in strength in that instance. Regardless, as I stated, I go by battle hiearchy rather than environmental feats. But if you want to go by environmental feats, WW has more than her fair share of embarrassing showings.

Well, if WW has embarrassing enviromental showings, Namor certainly has the equivalent in battle showings

The struggle to lift that anchor springs to mind.

I'd give Kory the majority purely because of her nova blasts.

Okay back to Starfie Vs Namor

in outsiders 31 the last Starfire vs Black fire

Powered up Blackfire sent out an energy signal so powerfull it actually fooled Starfir einto thinking that Blackfire was Tamaran's Godess X'hall.

Now amped up Blackfire who fooled Satrfire into beleving that she was X'hall because of ehr power levels was shocked and in aw by sheer power of Kory's nova balst saying that even with her power booost she had never seen anything like it before

The Nova blast Ko'ed her for a good amount of time

(notice Donna said she since starfire left she hasn't had anyone "strong enough to practice agianst)
now later in that scan Donna says that Starfire would always beat her.

Now imo opinion that puts Starfire at >= the Strength level of Donna who in y opinion is a mid level to low level class one hundred

That doesn't refer to strength, neccessarily. I think it is more like referring to fighting skills.

This is easily matched by Namor's fights with Thor, which can be found in Dark Crawler's respect thread. Also, in their other fight (Underworld Unleashed#3), a weakened CM got the better of WW and left her stunned, stealing her lasso within a few panels. Namor's record against Thor, Surfer, Hulk, etc. is better than WW's record against CM.

http://img295.echo.cx/my.php?image=jla00414b1lm.jpg


Good, but like I said, this was mainly skill. Another White Martian one shotted her earlier in the story, and she got handled by a WM again in Terror Incognita. So that's two losses and one win for WW against them. Also, J'onn's brother Malefic handled WW easily, and she was stunned by being NEAR his blast (she blocked it with her bracelets, but still got stunned). According to Superman, the blast could've killed her if it landed.


WW's overall record against White Martians doesn't impress me beyond what Namor has done against top tiers in Marvel. Aside from the one time she tied Primaid in her lasso and outlasted her in space, WW's pretty much gotten owned by Martians.

An incredibly short fight, where all Kalibak was doing was luring her into Darkseid's trap. And if you notice, Kalibak's nonchalant backhand has more effect on WW than her hammer blow has on him. Going by that, Kalibak actually looks stronger per this issue. This is far from a good reference to use to try to prove she's superior to Namor.

Are you really comparing the two? Quasar's construct strength depends on his concentration. In IW, Wendell had time to sit there and concentrate. In Avengers/JLA, he had no idea who WW was or what her powers were. He's stated in the past how he doesn't make his constructs as strong as he can if he doesn't know the strength level of his opponent (see his Gladiator fight in Operation Galactic Storm).



It's a good feat, but not better than Namor breaking the Crimson Bands of Cytorrak (which have always held The Hulk). Additionally, you left out that she was stunned by a single blast from Iron Man. Recently, Namor took a blast from IM to no effect.

A decent feat, but I could easily see Namor doing the same, especially given how much OMACs varied in power. In one issue, three of them got one-shotted by armored Lex Luthor.

Um, WW was holding back? Where was this stated? She said that she wanted to keep hittinh him until he drops, and she even resorted to a low blow. If she was concerned with hurting him, why would she be using cheap methods like kicking him in the nuts?

Honestly, this fight hurts WW's case, IMO. It supports her skill being superior, but I've NEVER seen Namor get physically dominated like that by a top tier. Well, barring one of his fights with The Hulk, but that was a REALLY angry Hulk (The Hulk was taking Surfer's blasts to no effect and owning him in that issue). She was fearing DEATH being hit a couple more times by Supes. Namor shrugs off Mjolnor hits. I mean, you can bring up the fact that Supes was bloodlusted, but Powergirl did much better against a bloodlusted, mind-controlled Supes.



As for the feats, again, Iron Man destroyed a rock the size of Manhattan in his fight against Terrax. Namor has always been portrayed as equal to or stronger than IM.

I disagree. There are only 4 ways you could come to the conclusion that WW is significantly stronger, IMO:

1. You beleive DC's top tiers are better than Marvel's

2. You disregard Namor's strength relative to Marvel's top tiers and simply point out his lack of lifting feats

3. You say WW's stronger due to her "second to Superman" monicker

4. You simply are ignorant of their histories



If you compare how he does against Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, Super Skrull, Surfer, etc. to how she does against Superman, Captain Marvel, Etrigan, Martians, and so on, I don't see how you could possibly say she looked much stronger. Much less more durable.

Superherovandal
actually if she wanted to she would have killed him. All she wanted to do was to stay alive and that becomes quite obvious as she slits his throat with her tiara. if she wanted she could have killed him. and secondly i highly doubt you know anything about Namor compared to DC. He's why we even think Namor is toptier. He created and did 99% of the Respect thread.

Third win against The Hulk, albeit this time using the environment (and I'll admit that The Hulk had the advantage for most of the fight, but it was no worse than the strength advantage Superman generally displays over WW):

Table jobbing aside, the fact that he could go toe-to-toe with Apoc is impressive. Apoc is a guy who's manhandled The Hulk, got She-Hulk to stand down with a simple choke, was barely phased by Exodus' blasts, easily bent or broke Sue Richards' force feild, got the better of Prime Eternal Ikarus, taken Black Bolt's scream, etc. On average, I'd still rank Apoc above top tier strength, even with his recent jobbings.


Namor owns Super-Skrull:

Namor takes The Human Torch's fire (just to show that fire isn't an auto-win against him; Torch is a guy who can hurt The Thing or She-Hulk with his blasts):

Namor vs. Thor. Thor holds the advantage IMO, but he started the fight with a surprise attack and seemed to be the aggressor. Especially a good durability showing for Namor:

The time Namor claims he's The Hulk's equal in strength on land (the actual slugfest was more or less even as well, so his claim per that issue wasn't that far-fetched):

Brief skirmish with Hercules. Nothing conclusive, but their strength appears to be at or near the same class:

Another fight between Namor and Surfer. Namor was the aggressor, but the fact that his attacks on Surfer had as much effect as vice versa is still pretty good:

Namor also has other impressive showings against some of these. He's stalemated Herc on land, ditto Hulk (may get the full scans for that one soon), and wrestled Thor's hammer away from him on one occasion. Recently, he also wrecked Iron Man hardcore. Oh, and he matched Radioactive Man in a slugfest in Thunderbolts. May get around to getting the scans for these myself, if I can't find them in DarkCrawler's thread.

... Um, that's putting words in my mouth. I said people who see WW as significantly stronger than Namor likely fit into one of these four categories. Not all four of them. And it's also entirely possible than DarkCrawler's knowledge of Namor's lower showings, couple with his ignorance of WW's own low showings is the reason why. Or it could just be that he's influenced by board hype. He'd have to clarify his reasoning himself.


As for me personally, I'm very familiar with both WW and Namor's high and low strength showings, and I see their strength as essentially equal. Sometimes I sway to one or the other, but it's extremely close. Both of them are strong enough to give top tiers great fights consistently, but look noticably weaker on average.

He's why we even think Namor is toptier. He created and did 99% of the Respect thread.


1. Because it slit his throat doesn't mean she could've killed him. He took a similar throat slit during Loeb's run on S/B and WON the fight. The neck slit simply slowed him down long enough for her to break the mind control. If anything, Superman could've killed her when she was lying on the ground for over a page if his greif wasn't clouding his judgement and he had just went for the kill instead of standing there and making a speech. Besides which, how does her tiara cutting Superman, who's been cut by lots of magic objects, prove she's stronger?

2. DC's top tiers are not stronger than Marvel's. You can find feats between mountain smashing and planet busting for both, but on average they're even. Namor would do as well against DC's top tiers as he does against Marvel's, IMO.

don't you get it Loeb is a Superman and batman fanboy

He had Batman take hits from Darkseid without dieing

LHe Had Superman break Wonder Woman's braclets which have withstood blasts from entire pantheons of Gods .
Loeb is a horrible writer to use his books for feats when it comes to Superman and Batman

and anyways that fight took place in anotherr reality so we don't know how powerful that Wonder Woman is compared to the DCU Wonder Woman.

Here, Namor matches Hercules until he becomes dehydrated. Note, Namor mentions he's been out of water too long, which implies that he lost his strength that quickly only because of how long he'd been out of water prior to the Herc fight:

Once they're underwater, Namor starts owning Herc, but then returns them to the surface via the Cosmic Cube out of honor. Not the spectator says that now that they're back on land, neither can defeat the other:

Namor matches Herc on land again, although he takes a breif dip in the water during the fight. It's unclear how long he'd been on land beforehand, but he does mention his strength was "restored" by the water. Here it is:

Namor vs. The Hulk on land. The fight lasts almost the entire issue, most of which was off-panel. Also note that Namor was actually holding back at first:

1. WW's bracelets have easily withstood Ares' blasts, yet it was stated that both Kronos and Ares have broken the Aegis before. With Kronos, it was a physical blow, and presumably the same held true for Ares. It seems to me that her bracelets are just much better against energy than blunt force. This is backed up by the fact that she stated they couldn't protect her forever from Kal's blows under Jiminez as well, and likewise Loeb wrote her easily blocking HV and Omega Beams with them.

2. Yeah, Loeb's a fanboy, but so is Rucka.

3. It wasn't really an alternate reality; it was an altered reality. It was the mainstream universe, but was tampered with for a time. IMO, that doesn't really invalidate the feat any moreso than it invalidates what happened in IC while Alex Luthor was mucking with the universes. Regardless, I wasn't actually referencing that. I was just making note of Superman's ability to handle a neck slit and still win a fight.

4. Logically, a neck slit shouldn't stop Superman, given how his physiology works. He was able to survive for a brief time after his heart had been ripped out by holding onto the sun. Plus he has an insane healing factor under many writers. I don't think it's fanboyish to have Superman fight through a neck slit and still win.

5. Batman had a Mother Box protecting him and DS was pulling his punches so as not to kill him. Batman said this himself.

IMO, Namor's slugfests with The Hulk, Hercules, and Thor alone pretty much establish that his strength is on par with WW's. His showings against Surfer, Strange, Iron Man, Apocalypse, The Thing, Mar-Vell, Super-Skrull, etc. just cement it further.

Just repeating that WW is stronger (and I won't get into speed since I'm not really into the "non-CIS/PIS realism" of this board) isnt really a valid argument. Either you think the top tiers she faced are much stronger than the ones Namor faced, or you beleive her performances were much better in terms of strength. I think both of those beleifs are obviously untrue (especially the latter if you compare the scans posted), but I'd like to see the arguments for each.
