Namor has his suit on so that he will not dry out during the fight. Who is taking this?

leonidas
i'd take morlun.

Namor wins, with ease.

Ever since Dragon Ball Super, he's been trolling in every thread, about everything.

And don't even mention the most unfortunate Iron Fist TV series on Netflix, lol.

If Spiderman survived from several punches of Morlun, how he can take Namor down?

Rotten tomatoes killed that show.

High 90's on femme-busters, below 20% on The Orville.

Yet the site makes and breaks shows.

Wonder Man
Namor

good fight i think. morlun is a damn terminator. he keeps coming.

CadenceV2
I think Morlun Durability is far better, didnt he tank Vibranium tip Nukes from Wakanda?

riv6672
What would be the point of s vibranium tipped nuke?

Spider-man survived everyone's punches from Namor to Hulk, Hercules and Juggernaut. Morlun was holding back most of the time, Spider-man still said that he punches harder than Hulk. And Morlun has one-shot killed Spider-men from alt. universes.

leonidas
yeah, i'm not sure i even see this as being all that close the more i think about it. there is even some evidence to suggest he could drain namor as he drained the alternate characters. i'd say he was def stronger, and more durable as well. /shrug

I thought statements didnt count in debates.
Not trying to be a dick, but i’ve seen statements nixed before.

Now, tongue firmly in cheek i ask, dont Superman fans have a proprietary right to ‘holding back’.

DarkSaint85
If feats are what's needed, he ripped adamantium apart.

Parmaniac
The usual problem is Morlun has never shown an upper limit and was never bested in battle he was taken down with irradiated blood, magical prophecy stingers and twice via BFR

DarkSaint85
He ripped a net, true.

Adamantium's durability, however, does not depend on it's thickness. Otherwise Wolverine is in trouble, lol.

^^Uh huh.
Wolvie’s bones arent a net. aaaanyway...

...I understand wanting to make a character’s feat sound/seem impressive, but, again, no need to oversell.
Simply saying Morlun ripped an adamantium mesh net would have been fine, and then some jerk wouldnt be fact checking you on your statement(s).

My point was that Wolverine's bones are only coated with a thin film (they're not solid adamantium). Yet, his claws and skeleton are some of the most durable objects in the Marvel U, due to this thin coating. The edges of his claws, for example, are super sharp - and never ever go dull. Therefore, despite the extreme thinness of his adamantium, it is still super strong and super durable.

Fact checking implies my statement was false. But every word was true - he ripped adamantium. If you want to call me up on not including details, sure. But factually, it was correct.

The scan says adamantium net, like a net made out of adamantium.

Actually, he's gotten a double dose of adamantium (canon fact), completely fusing the bones with the metal, but the latter differs from writer to writer, some indeed refer to it only as coating.

Also, I only recall Logan's skeleton being described as laced "thick" with adamantium, never otherwise.

Claws are a much better example, yes thumb up Since they've been stated on panel to be less than one millimetre thick.

I'd like to believe that the net was either secondary adamantium or some adamantium alloy...

Straczynski (Morlun's creator) already gave us a strong hint in Morlun's first arc that he could bust through Ezekiel's underground bunker. The thing was mostly titanium with just adamantium at its core, iirc, though.

Which should prevent it from being so malleable, lol.

The writer clearly had something in mind by using an adamantium net otherwise Shuri would have been asked: "How is the super uber durable net doing?"

cdtm
Adamantium doesn't bend, does it?

Stands to reason it would need something more flexible to make it a net. Linking together bits of Adamantium would get you chain mail armor, more likely.

Is this primary or secondary?

Afaik, Marvels policy of protecting true adamantium lead to a bunch of retcons. Can't see them allowing a Spidey villain to be the first one to damage it by brute force.

DarkSaint85
They never clarified.

Stilt likes to think it's secondary. Samzed thinks it's like primary plus ultra.

It doesn't. It's been described on panel as "unbendable" by Beast, even.

Logically, yeah thumb up I agree.

Just out of curiosity how many times did Namor anything remotely close to the shit Morlun pulled in Wakanda?

It was never explicitly stated, as DS said.

Anyway, nets are certainly suspect, seeing as Nul Hulk broke it, too... and he was far from impressive, if we look at his other showings.

Broke the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak, one-shotted the Hulk, took Black Bolt's scream... he's got plenty of feats.

Morlun's been consistently shown as a damn near unstoppable threat, though. Has he ever lost without there being a plot device involved?

DarkSaint85
Yeah but nobody expects anything good to come out of Central/Eastern Europe thumb up.

Africa is where it's at. And I just doubt that Wakanda keeps shitty secondary adamantium around for powerful enemies.

Could be wrong though. Could be me just adding random context where none exists.

All I know is:

A. Adamantium's durability doesn't depend on thickness
B. The net broken by Morlun was made of adamantium

So main point is, he has a nice strength feat if we don't want to just rely on statements, especially when Spiderman compared him to the Hulk and oh what's that? An AMPED Hulk did the same as Morlun? Golly gee!

Who hasn't broken the bands?

Serious question, every time I see them, they're beaten. Even Iron Fist came close, if he wasn't weakened from absorbing sorcerers magic..

Plenty of characters haven't... including Colossus, Wendigo, Hulk, Juggernaut...

But they also fail to work often, you're right on that.

Hulk said him and Nul were one of the same. Anyways, I think Namor taking on evil Sentry and the Avengers are better than taking on Wakanda.

More of the "Hulk is Hulk" nonsense... please, stop laughing out loud

OneDumgG0 made a giant respect thread for the Hulk... I disagreed with him on some feats, but even he considered the Hulk to be amped in Fear Itself.

We might argue to what degree he was, seeing as he was rather unimpressive in NA... but on paper, he was Pak's Hulk with a boost...

Hulk outright tells us that Nul IS him.

https://static1.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11127/111275401/5218285-0586325004-QFpPQ.jpg

His power, HIS rage, his STRENGTH and hate. It can not get any clearer than this. Yes, he was amped, throwing out tornadoes, lightning, etc... but his physical strength was all Hulk, nothing more. The craziest thing is, how can you amp Hulk strength when he can already become as strong as he wants, that doesnt make sense. It's like saying you can amp the power gem.

cdtm
Didn't the Spider-gang kill Morlun's older brother?

He came back via clone, but this proves they're not invincible.

So what you're saying is that a being exactly equal to Hulk was bonded with Hulk and it didn't increase his strength?

So when you do math and you come to a head scratcher like "2 + 2 =" you just put "2" and no look walkoff while you look at the sunset and grin? And people are like "Why is he looking at the sun without glasses?" And they're like "He aced that math equation, he can look at any sun he wants. He can even look at my son in the bath!" At which point you shoot them this look:

Hulk was knocked out in space. He woke up. Flew back to Earth. He could do that a 100 times in a row due to a healing factor. That doesn't mean he wins fights.

Anyway, it's outright stated that he was stronger than normal (the first comic I went to):
http://i58.tinypic.com/2yyqe7d.jpg

"Greatly elevated"

And Nul on his own was just as strong as Hulk (WWH at the time) with all of his power, and none of his personality. Without the hammer, and without the Hulk:
http://i58.tinypic.com/n1otg1.jpg
http://i60.tinypic.com/2whgmqq.jpg

"Power enhancing"
http://i62.tinypic.com/em5qa.jpg

This whole "His personality" thing has been talked about before. And frankly asking for proof of it when the whole premise alone disproves it doesn't work. Until someone can show a scan of someone saying he's weaker... I mean, the proof thing works from both angles, and the Hulk being weaker isn't something that's supported.
Not to mention he was still calling himself Hulk. He recognized people. He remembered about Thor. Etc.

Thor wasn't knocked out in the stratosphere, nor did he land hundreds of miles away never to return. He was actually unhurt too iirc. And people still count that as a win anyway.


Thor won against an amped WWH. Simple really. Whether he could repeat that again is anyone's guess. But the fact remains is that it happened.

Me and you had a huge discussion on this a while back. Who was equal to Hulk? What I am saying is, Nul was physically Hulks equal because he was the Hulk. Hulk ended up breaking free but Nul found a way to resurface. Hulk went out to kill Nul but he realized he couldnt due to them possibly merging again if he came within the vicinity of Nul. He then gathers a group of heros to take out Nul warning them that Nul possess all of his physical might plus hate. I'm sure this is what he said.

Never said he didnt have additional power added to him. What I am saying is, his STRENGTH wasnt amped. Hulk himself confirms this in a later issue. Then, the data they had on Hulk wasnt even legit because they thought that adamantium netting amped with the weight of Jupiter was enough to stop Hulk.

Parmaniac
I think we all can agree that Morlun beats Hulk in a physical battle since Spider-Man defeated Hulk purely physical but never Morlun.

Based on Spider-Verse, I have no idea how Morlun survived adamantium tipped missiles.

They were hard to beat down, but they died easy enough from Superior and Spider-clone's spikes. Namor is a killer, and strong enough to punch through him.

Vibranium, not adamantium.

Even if Namor punches through Morlun, it's *probably* not going to seriously affect him... he nonchalantly took Shuri's spear and alt Wolverine's claws (both sets) with a smile.

Omega Red would have a much better chance of making it work, seeing as he life-drains people (Morlun is vulnerable to that) and that carbonadium is somewhat radioactive.
