Who will win between aquaman and attuma?

StiltmanFTW
Depends on the versions.

Attuma upgraded by Doom wins pretty much effortlessly. Same with Worthy Attuma.

comicfan11
Aquaman 10/10
No matter the upgrade on Attuman, he still isn't even remotely as fast as Aquaman and the Trident should take care of Attuma's (upgrade or not) durability in a couple of hits.

Kazenji
Someone's wanking Aquaman.

I said AQ is faster and the Trident will put the hurt on Attuma.

Care to dispute any of this?

Yeah.

SevenShackles
Normal Attuma gets beat dumb, upgraded Attuma (either of the mentioned above) hurt Aquaman and take the win.

zopzop
Worthy Attuma is the only one that can take wins. I'm not too familiar with the "Doom upgraded" one so no comment on that. Standard/Classic Attuma gets destroyed.

pym-ftw
Attuma could probably win on land, but he would lose underwater pretty much every time.

So you have no idea how powerful Worthy Attuma is but Aquaman is going to win anyways?

Smh. Worthy Attuma would stomp Aquaman 10/10, no contest. The best Aquaman can hope for is to momentarily stun him with his trident, assuming it can hurt him. Regular Attuma would put up a fight but lose imo. No idea about the Doom upgraded version, don't remember reading about him.

Worthy Attuma was beating Silver Surfer (but Surfer was fighting like a retardad) and in the end he was defeated by Namor ...

Hard to say anything in a fight with so many PIS...

But he is at worst low herald.

WTH has Worthy Attuma to do with this topic?
He was a one time upgrade character in a very specific storyline.
Why would anyone assume Worthy Attuma, unless specified by the op?

The OP says Attuma and Aquaman, no specified versions.
So I assume current versions for both.

In which case Aquaman would beat Attuma.

What? Namor got in a lucky shot with Neptune's Trident and it only managed to stun him for a panel. The Defenders dog piled him but he still broke free.

Worthy Attuma seemed to be much stronger then Namor underwater and I'd argue was more powerful then Surfer. Supported by Strange commenting about his energy and him owning Alpha Flight with his energies. IIRC, he was also kicking the shit out of Snowbird and Sasquatch in close combat.

All the Worthy hammers were ridiculously powerful:

Unfortunately, few utilized their power and simply used their upgraded old abilities.

StiltmanFTW
Dark Reign Made Men, Doom brought Attuma back to life and upgraded him to Namor levels. Aquagay's screwed.

You specifically said that Aquaman would win no matter the upgrades. In reply to a post that mentioned Worthy Attuma.

I meant his normal upgrade.
Not something that probably lasted for a total of 5-10 issues and probably won't happen again.
That was a power up, not an upgrade.

So he is still muuuuuuuuch slower than Aquaman and with no defense for the trident, on top of being a full Atlantean with no defense to telepathy?

AQ 10/10.
Land or sea.

Golgo13
Aquaman just owned Morgan Le Fay with his trident. It's been hinted that the trident has a lot of power, but we just don't know what it is.

You think Aquaman is much faster then Namor? Based on what? New feats or something?

comicfan11

Why?

Based on feats.
Simple as that.
I have seen every Namor feat there is speedwise (from his respect thread on this and other sites) likewise for Aquaman, and based on feats there is a very considerable gap.
Every time I've debated this topic there hasn't been a single time that anyone could give feats for Namor close to Aquaman's speed.

Maybe you haven't been debating the right people. What's Aquaman's best feat then?

Oh you are welcome to try and come up with something new for Namor.
I welcome it, since I was thinking they were closer before actually looking to their feats.

Anyway current New 52 Aquaman has hypersonic speed at minimum (Mach 5-Mach10) and his leaps/charges are also in the hypersonic category (like when he charged WW).

For pre Flashpoint Aquaman, he has many that border on ridiculous.
He outswam Superman, he has done 20000 feet per second, he has kept up with Flash on water multiple times and replicated Flash's tricks underwater, created vacumns in the water by spinning fast, etc etc.

I don't have scans now, but most of those scans should be posted on his respect thread.

DarkSaint85
Rage against comicfan11. This should be good, actually. Both people who'll debate without it turning into a sh!tstorm (and I'm being serious here).

Looking forward to it.

Heh I'll be genuinely surprised for this to actually be a debate.
I have debated about this topic, also on this site for years, and the results are always the same.

Aquaman is faster.
But if Rage finds something it should be interesting.

When did Aquaman out swim Superman and move at 20,000 feet per second? The rest I've seen and it's nothing beyond what Namor's accomplished. We've seen Namor swim alongside Surfer in flight, keep up with the Quinjet etc. Creating whirlpools underwater to suck out oxygen etc. are all things Namor has accomplished. He's even done so against the Hulk.

Regarding the Wonder Woman leap, I'm not sure what about it makes you think it was hypersonic?

Namor has also shown more agility then I've seen Aquaman demonstrate in the past. Something like this for example:
http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp92/clokeagne_supernova/Namor%20Respect/Namor%20titles/Speedd%20Skill/Sub-Mariner52a.jpg

He's even done some Superman like moves where he turns his body into a drill (More then once) demonstrating legit super speed:

Torpedoes might as well be in slow motion to Namor:
http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp92/clokeagne_supernova/Namor%20Respect/Namor%20titles/Speedd%20Skill/Saga03b.jpg

I don't have the original feat but here is a retelling of when Namor was even able to keep up and leap across asteroids/meteors (Speed is mach 20-300 I believe) to catch Doom's spaceship:
http://imageshack.us/a/img376/3624/026meteorspeedrecalledngp0.jpg

We've even seen him run at super speed:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/183/007runsthroughstreetswiow3.jpg/

In terms of reflexes, Namor regularly keeps up speedy bricks but also has a few of his own legitimate speed feats. Here he hurls a Scepter at the speed of thought:
http://imageshack.us/a/img507/4668/004hurlswiththespeedoftyc9.jpg

He also has the obligatory laser dodging:

Too swift for tank fire and targeting:

He can also fly, extremely fast. Here he flies at 100,000 feet in moments:
http://imageshack.us/a/img71/9978/0202catchesamissiledfv1ph1.jpg

We've also seen Namor fly across the planet in minutes to hours (Depending on the comic), and even into space in seconds. Too lazy to find everything but I'll provide references and probably scans for anything you want.

Rage.Of.Olympus
Missed this. Namor pulls a Superman and reshapes an entire prison structure using super speed sculpting and blitzes some tanks:

Yeah I've seen all those scans and while nice most are nice, they are not as fast as Aquaman's.
Aquaman's leaps in New 52 can be measured since it takes him a couple of seconds to go from the harbor of Boston to downtown Boston and the distance is between 3-8 kms depending on where in the harbor he was.

Those in space are also in vacumn, so not exactly legit in atmosphere speed.
A Quinjet also at the time of Namor swimming besides it had a max speed of Mach 1,2 which is nice but well below Aquaman's.

I don't have any JL feats for now, but when I do I'll post if needed.

The Flash and Superman feats should be enough to make my point, but even if they aren't Aquaman has better quantifiable feats anyway.

Also by Namor's own admission if I'm not mistaken he is slower than Marinna and she has a top speed of around 800 knots, which is much slower than Aquaman in a bad day.

That doesn't mean it's not ridiculously fast. He reached Doom's speeding rocket by leaping across asteroids.

Where did he react to Flash?

These are Post-Crisis and impressive I guess but which one of these is suppose to prove that Aquaman is faster then Namor, much less a lot faster? Mostly it's him dodging or swimming fast, which Namor has in spades. For example:
http://s3d3.turboimagehost.com/t/16924507_Avengers272_06b.jpghttp://s3d3.turboimagehost.com/t/16924510_Avengers272_07b.jpg

You think swimming alongside the Flash proves he's faster? That is not at all the case. Contrary to popular believe, the Flash doesn't run around at light speed. Not even close.

Besides, it'd be like me posting a scan of Namor catching Surfer and claiming that conclusively proves he's faster:

Regarding Superman: I'm not going to debate Pre-Crisis DC, I only have a cursory knowledge about that version.

Which quantifiable feats are better? Post them please.

It's true, he has said many times Marrina was faster then her, and I would NOT put her on the level of Aquaman's speed

Rage.Of.Olympus
Well, I'd definitely put Namor on Aquaman's level of speed unless someone presents some evidence that would say otherwise. Funny how thinks work like that. smile

Tbh, so far, Namor has the more impressive feats. I've been okay with mix and matching Pre and Post Flashpoint feats, although it can be a little confusing, but Pre-Crisis doesn't count in my book.

Namor flies from the Stratosphere to the ground in moments:

I'm confused. Was that suppose to prove that Aquaman is noticeably faster? He was actively dodging all of Namor's hits (Which is all he really can do tbh) but at the same, he admitted that he couldn't land a punch either and that their speed was too evenly matched. Namor still rocked him good however when he needed to.

What was up with Namor though? Since when is he so obsessed with holding back and not hurting his opponent in a high stake battle? Well, I guess some liberties have to be taken for their to be a fight.

-K-M-
Because Aquaman was trying to talk down a pissed Namor and not taking it seriously and was still avoiding his shots (AM was smiling while Namor looked pissed). When he thought Namor was done...they stopped throwing punches, Namor landed the blow.

Regardless it's not canon

You think Namor was pissed? HA! He was relatively calm for Namor. As a matter of fact, he was all about holding back and not doing Aquaman real harm. erm Weird.

About the second point, it might be possible that Aquaman let his guard down but he seemed to be actively trying to dodge. Either way, Aquaman by his own admission said that their speed was evenly matched and that neither could land a blow. Not really supporting the whole idea that Aquaman has a noticeable speed edge.

To be clear, I'm not arguing that Namor is much faster then Aquaman. If Aquaman focuses on keeping distance, it is possible (Underwater) but at the same time, he's not faster imo (My mind is open to new evidence). It's not like Spider-Man vs. Rhino. He can't dance around Namor and land blows at will.

Also, where are you getting from that Aquaman was trying to talk Namor down? He was actively shit-talking. no expression

Edit: Yea, non canon, so mostly irrelevant.

-K-M-
Because he was trying to say this could go on forever, were too evenly matched, lets end it....They stop...then punch.

Also yes, Namor had a pissed off look while Aquaman was smiling. Was Namor blood thirsty? No of course not, but you can be pissed and not be at that level. Definitely was taking it more seriously then Aquaman

But he specifically says that neither of them will land a punch. So yes, Aquaman was actively dodging his attacks, but he couldn't land a punch either.

And right before he punches him, Namor was smiling. Saying that Namor was taking it more seriously then Aquaman is one thing. At his core, Namor is less open to a joking nature. However, that doesn't mean one of them was putting in less effort than the other, just to be clear. Both wanted the fight to end. Namor wanted to score a knock out, Aquaman was taunting him and wanted to end it. I guess in that respects, they are different characters.

-K-M-
and did we see him try?

He smiled which made Aquaman think the fight was over and he got through to him which allowed the punch to land erm That's actually a pretty common scene in MANY comic books. No, hook hand Aquaman is generally not in a joking manner. Have you read much Aquaman? Not to be rude, just asking.

Problem with DC vs. Marvel crossover it took liberties with many characters. The scans were not meant to cause this much discussion...it is pretty clear cut, but it's also non-canon

Uh....yes.

Okay, I'm open to other interpretations but I think you're reading too much into this. Namor smiled and struck him. Imo, he was amused because Aquaman underestimated his speed. You can chose to disagree with this, but I don't think it was some clever ruse to get him to drop his guard or something. At least, I don't see any evidence to suggest this. Namor took him out mid sentence, a sentence that started before his grin.

I agree, hook Aquaman isn't much for jokes and is usually very serious (I have read most of Aquaman's Post-Crisis runs) while Wally, Plastic Man are the jokers. But like you said, this crossover took liberties. I'm just taking their characterization for what it is. Aquaman was more of a joker and it played off of Namor's more grim attitude.

But yea, enough of this. Agree to disagree.

Um precrisis and postcrisis Aquaman unlike other some other DC characters shares continuity.
The vast majority of his stories are based on precrisis continuity and would not be possible if it was a different character, same as his supporting cast and enemies. No precrisis, no dead kid, no crazy Mera, no Black Manta etc.
Apart from that if you want to get technical Post Crisis Aquaman received at least 2 power ups, which would make him more powerful than any of his previous incarnations.

Apart from that, TBH (as you like to say) all I saw was Namor looking fast (artwork) and not a single quantifiable feat close to Aquaman's speed (especially swimming).

Also if you believe that Namor floating in space translates to his actual speed in an atmosphere, then sorry dude I'm not here to teach you science.

So if these are Namor's best feats, then as I predicted, yeah he is much slower than Aquaman.
I'll find one of the multiple times Namor admits he is slower than Marrina and post it sometime, as well as her top speed at around 800 knots (swimming).

Finally does Namor have any quantifiable swimming feat better than 20000 feet per second?
He flies fast, but swimming? Does he have anything close to that?
Honestly the only feat I hadn't seen before was the one with the palace, which was OK, but as with most of Namor's feats it was nice artwork with no timeframe.

And in DC vs Marvel, Aquaman was noticeably faster than a Namor trying his best to tag him.

Also -K-M- since you are the resident expert in Alpha Flight, can you post the scans of Marinna, to put this debate to an end?

AM beats regular attuma handily imo. he certainly doesn't beat worthy attuma. don't know about doom attuma.....

as far as speed--my generalized impression has always been that Am was faster, but not by some great amount. i think it's because his speed has been highlighted more often, perhaps because his strength wasn't so great as namor's? not sure. rage showed some great feats i'd long forgotten about and based on what has been shown in this thread, namor may well be as fast, if not faster. i think if they ever squared off for real, AM would prove to be quicker, but i certainly don't think the speed difference would be great enough to be any kind of major advantage in a fight between them.

A few of DC's characters have kept bits and pieces of their continuity from Pre-Crisis. That in no way means that their feats transfer over. Not sure why I have to explain this, when one of the driving points of the CoIE was to ground DC's power levels. As a matter of fact, we've seen that even when some Pre-Crisis events are re-enacted in Post-Crisis, and sometimes they are not exactly the same.

Much slower then Aquaman? laughing out loud Besides one swimming feat, everything you posted did not have any quantifiable numbers. As a matter of fact, it was mostly just him dodging generic lasers and shit.

I posted a scan of Namor going from the ocean floor into space in at least a few seconds. While carrying a heavy molecular destabilizing device. And IIRC he was having some head problems at the time.

20,000 fps is like 13,000 mph? To reach escape velocity alone, you need to hit 25,000 mph. And Namor did this while out of water where his strength isn't as great while lugging tons.

1. Non-canon.

2. If he was noticeably faster, Aquaman wouldn't have said they were equal. Nor would he have been unable to land a punch.

You're arguing that Aquaman is noticeably faster. And that it would give him a decent advantage in a fight. In that comic, all Aquaman could do is dodge.

Why do you think Marinna being faster then Namor will prove that Aquaman is faster if you can't prove with feats that Aquaman is faster then Namor?

Unless you're holding out on me in terms of feats, Namor has noticeably better movement speed (True super speed akin to a flying speed), arguably superior reflexes, and faster travel speed. At least with his flight aiding him.

Rage.Of.Olympus
^Meant to say flying brick there.

I just thought this was really cool. A young Namor "with the speed of a bullet" tosses a large ship "high" onto the shore:

Pretty much. Namor's strength has gotten more play then his speed (Vise versa for Aquaman) but even so, he has enough feats under his speed that should indicate he's easily on Aquaman's level.

Movement speed and reaction speed wise? I'm giving it to Namor. Aquaman is agile, but Namor seems to demonstrate legit super speed.

-K-M-

Rage.Of.Olympus
According to comicfan, she topped at 800 knots. According to that panel, the moment she hits the water she's already going faster then 900 knots.

But it doesn't matter ultimately. Marrina being faster then Namor is worth less then Quan in a debate if Namor has feats matching Aquaman.

So far, the most impressive feat is this scan:
http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/1876/aquamanswimmingat10000fps3pd.jpg

He's definitely very fast, but not beyond Namor. Especially when we take into account his flight.

Edit: I just re-read the above scan. The man specifically says Aquaman's full range is 10,000 fps. He'd have to travel at those speeds directly up from 20,000 feet, not that he's moving at 20,000 fps. A very important distinction to note.

For those who are curious: 10,000 fps is 10972.8 km/h. Marrina is comfortably faster then Aquaman I guess. For some reason, I find that kind of amusing after all this focus on Marrina.

Rage.Of.Olympus
Some more Namor speed feats. He easily catches to speeding missiles with his hands at point blank range:

No he traveled at 20,000 fps as that's what gave him the bends. That was his limit going UP, not his top speed. He is against the constant change of pressure, which is what wrecked his body (Decompression Sickness). That's a lot different then going in a straight line in a constant pressure. 10000 fps UPWARDS is what he could do safely, same thing why Aurora and Northstar don't always go 99% the speed of light. If he had to do it in a straight line, without needing to reach equilibrium he could do 20,000 fps and above safely.

This is the same principle why Scuba Divers don't rise too quickly.

IIRC, Aquaman has moved at a thousand knots, and regularly appears to take mere minutes when crossing oceans.

He's moved so fast as to appear as a blur underwater (Pre FP), so the dude is hella fast.

Most recent depiction of Attuma I've seen was his appearance in Indestructible Hulk, I think it was last year. He was able to tussle with Hulk for short a while, punching him across an underwater kingdom, so he has some power. It was a short fight though:

Yeah it's not as if Hulk steamrolled him, though it was a pretty brief exchange.

Even in the animated universe he was able to take on Hulk toe to toe and defeat an Avengers line-up including Thor underwater. Since his resurrection he is being depicted as a physical powerhouse across the board it seems. He isn't a scrub anymore he just needs more appearances.

Namor isn't Attuma though. We'd need some sort of direct statement saying they were as fast as each other, or Attuma's own feats.

You can't just transplant Namor's feats in for Attuma's, even if you want to argue that he'd capable of such things.

You might be right that he could travel faster in a straight line instead of going up, but he wasn't moving faster in that scene.

I took it the opposite, because if he can do 10,000 fps with no troubles why would 20,000 fps give him pause? Basically it would take him longer if he was 10,000 fps but still be ok. If the speed didn't change then he should still be able to adapt to the pressure shift. Generally if your at a constant speed that can help with pressure sickness. Only problem is we don't know how long it actually took Aquaman to complete the said feat. Did he travel 20,000 in a second? 5? 10? etc.

Upwards again, not a direct straight light.

Not might be right, I am.

How strong is aquaman now-a-days?
I see him as 20 - 50 tonner. I know he has had a few feats that might put him over 100 tons, but other characters have had high feats above their norm (ex. spiderman, Cap, etc)

Honestly, I would say current Aquaman is a solid class 100.

He's flung a sub-marine out of water and lifted a sunk ocean liner in his current run. Not to mention decking Superman miles away in Justice League.

You can't just transplant Namor's feats in for Attuma's, even if you want to argue that he'd capable of such things.

He's been granted "Namor's strength, flight and ability to breathe on land".

Aquaman's norm nowadays is comfortably in the triple digit ranges, I would say.

- You said he KOed Namor and he didn't.

- Namor is an Atlantean/Human. This is why he was barely affected by the psi attack that KOed the fish people. I have no idea why you brought up the psi attack in the first place.

- Namor reacted faster than Aquaman could react. That's why he got hit. As far as "letting his guard down" they were talking while Namor was pursuing Aquaman. You know, because Aquaman knew Namor was stronger than him. If Aquaman was significantly faster than Namor, he would not have gotten hit because he would have moved out of the way. This is a situation in which a speed advantage would be utilized.

- Finally, AM is being compared to the CURRENT Attuma, not the one from JLA/A

Attuma is not class 60, he is the equal of Namor who is over class 1000 per his showings. There is no scaled class system in DC, so at best you are estimating Aquaman is class 100. Namor has always been portayed as stronger than Aquaman, so if Attuma is Namor's equal, he is stronger than Aquaman.

Attuma was upgraded by Doom in 2009. Maybe this synopsis will help you out:

http://marvel.wikia.com/Dark_Reign:_Made_Men_Vol_1_1

Or Attuma, for that matter, but needs a "counter" in case Namor turns on him. He has used his mystic and scientific knowledge to give Attuma all of Namor's powers. He offers Attuma a choice: serve him or walk out the door. If Attuma serves, Doom will offer him a home for his people within Atlantean waters, a safe harbour in between schemes, and a strong master to aid him... and possibly, the chance to fight Namor.

As far as Namor being stronger, it's been quite obvious throughout his existence, so much so that JLA/A acknowledged the strength gap. Namor could always go toe to toe with Hulk, Aquaman has traditionally been at least two classes lower.

It's not bad writing, it's been the case throughout Namor's existence. To be consistent, you'd also have to chalk up his ability to fly due as bad writing as well.

I thought that the board's standard was supposed to be what shown on panel? You can't say it's bad writing simply because you don't approve.

ABC Logic is fine when that's the best information you have available. Ressurected Attuma and Aquaman have never met in comics. How else would you better handicap a theorectical battle?

Namor mentions how he is "only" half Atlantean and has a headache. So a psi attack that completey took out an Atlantean army only gave Namor a headache. This is completely consistent with his psi resistance which is well documented. He has resisted mind attacks in the form of direct psi attacks, astral plane attacks, attempts at mind control and mystic attacks.

Like I said, I don't know for myself, but I hear people saying that he has been portrayed as stronger lately. The question is whether this is a portrayal or if it's proven that he is "upgraded" over the "old" Aquaman. Attuma's upgrade however is not is doubt, it's official as of 2009.

Namor being half human being the reason Aquaman's psionics don't work on him ignores Aquaman's showings, and is bad writing, at least in terms of representing Aquaman.

But it did work, it just wasn't potent enough for Namor. If it didn't work, then Namor would have been completely unaffected like Plasticman was. Namor being resistent to psi attacks is great writing regardless of the reasons because it's consistent with the character.

I have no problem with Namor having psionic resistance that would allow him to not be taken out by Aquaman's telepathy.

The problem is that the scan you posted completely downplays Aquaman's telepathy, even in his own phrasing of his own telepathic ability. That's bad writing, given how inconsistent it is with Aquaman's showings.

That doesn't mean Namor resisting is bad writing; just HOW he resisted it.

The reason I ask is because you said the psi attack was focused on a Attuma . It was focused on the entire Atlantean army led by Attuma.

As far as the deflection, there is nothing for me to deflect. Attuma is stated to have all the powers of Namor.

It's a synopsis on what occurred in the cited issue of Dark Reign, Made Men, 2009. Are you saying that it didn't happen?

yeah you're trolling. He said and I quote "glad I am, then that I am only half Atlantean. Even so, my head pounds...."

*facepalm* do you not get what a unproven statement is? Clearly not. Anyone can give lip service, provide proof attuma gained even psi-resistance. If you can't do that simple thing don't even bother replying.

I'm not trolling, I am presenting a concept you have yet to full comprehend.

Namor is more than the sum of his parts. Namor isn't simply a human Atlantean hyrid, he is a human Atlantean mutate. This account for great strength that is far above any normal Atlantean. If he was simply the sum of his parts, he should actually be weaker than the average Atlantean because humans are significantly weaker than Atlanteans. This is not the case. His foot wings and his TP resistence are also due to him being mutant as neither humans or Atlanteans have these features.

If you can grasp the the concept that Namor's TP is derived from his mutation, then you can understand his statement in a different context. If he was full Atlantean, he would be KOed because he would not be a mutant with TP resistence. You are making the incorrect assumption that Aquaman's psi blast would not have affected non Atlanteans (including humans) around him based on Namor's statement. As you pointed out, the psi blast affected Marrina, which you seem to have a problem with. The important thing with her is that she is not an Atlantean but was still KOed. The ONLY guy who was completely unaffected was Plasticman who is completed unaffected by psi. This entire scene is a reflection of Namor's TP resistance due to being a mutant.

So yes, twisting Namor's statement in the manner you did caused you to misinterpret it. That's why I pointed out what you said was not his quote.

I'm not giving lip service, at the same time, I'm not under trial by you. If you don't want to believe it occured, then carry on. Chest beating is a behavior that is beneath me.

I'm fully aware he is a mutate. Something attuma isn't. That long winded speech proved nothing.

And again from namors own words said he was glad he was only half Atlantean. Something you said he never said. Lulz.
