AM defeated the Hercules of the N52 reality in a tough fight, how well would he do against Marvel's Prince of Power in or out of water, no weapons, skill, strength and durability only?

Hercules.

This is a closer than most people think. Look how Aquaman has done against Diana WITH her lasso. He's fought her to a stalemate multiple times. IMHO, AM wins after a good fight.

So Herc hasn't done well against upper tier characters?

In water Aquaman. Out water Herc.

But Superman wasn't even trying. If he hit Arthur with the same force that he uses to take down Mongul, Arthur would've been more than just winded. Arthur has a chance of winning this, but it would likely be due to his speed. Hercules at his prime levels holds the strength, and durability edge.

As far as tankiness is concerned between the two, in my opinion, the strongest between them would, or at least should logically also be the tougher of the two.

Hercules should at the very least be 1.5 strength tiers above Arthur. Shaking a planet, and taking Atlas' place was something that Hercules and Superman have done. I'm not sure if I'm remembering it correctly, but I think that Hercules actually had an easier time doing Atlas' job than Superman did. Again, maybe I'm not remembering it correctly. I wish I had the scans to compare.

Oh yeah, I think that Hercules is also the better fighter.

She is pretty got darn strong. She stomped Shaggyman and pages before this, Shaggyman was stalemating the Justice League. Comics before this, he soloed the JLA.

She stomped Supergirl and she was stomping an amped Supergirl. Let me know if you want scans. Also, let me know if you want more showings as well.

DarkSaint85
Well they were only trying to restrain him, as per the dialogue, so...

carver9
And they were also saying he was too strong. They couldn't restrain him, even as a team.

DarkSaint85
Agreed. Restraining a guy (especially if he's amped on retard strength and flailing wildly about) is way more difficult than simply bullrushing him and KOing him.

One method requires strength (imagine trying to restrain an angry dude) and the other bypasses his strength.

But from that list, where would she stop?

I would say she is a liiiiiiittttlllllee bit weaker than Superman. So where ever you place him, I'll put her almost there.

Seriously?

WB Hulk? If we were talking straight facts, if Rogol Zaar went punch for punch with him based on his need to dig to a planet's core to destroy it, WB Hulk should literally be able to physically dominate him. Marvel has never given a limit to his potential strength levels. Diana is nowhere close to that level..

Different Shaggyman

Senor Cage
The Shaggyman Aquaman fought was much more powerful. Able to adapt on the fly

carver9
Same one. It's even mentioned in the comic that this was the same Shaggy Aquaman fought.

Senor Cage
Writer forgot that SM can adapt. WW shouldn't have been able to beat him. The General was walking all over Superman in WW 3

Well, it looks as if DC dropped Shaggy in the litter box and weakened him.

carver9
Or Wonder Woman is just that good.

Wait, those are New 52 scans. Are you sure you wanna take that route?

*checks thread to see which version of Aquaman is being used*.

Hmm. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say yes, yes he does.

carver9
Better than Wonder Woman? Not even close.

She fought Zod and Faora solo and was stomping them.
Fought the Justice League that was controlled by Amazo and was winning.
Defeated God Superman
Was stomping Lantern.
Treated Supergirl like fodder.
Fought and stalemated Doomsday amped Superman
Defeated Cheetah. Same issue, Cheetah stomped the JLA. Blitzed Flash and took out Superman.

There's more but Aquaman isn't near her in power if we add in New 52 showings.

carver9
Stomps Metallo...

Beating up Magog...

Let's also not forget that she wrecked Grail.

Vs Darkseid and after this, she felt as if she could have won...

Context to all of the fights Diana had with Aquaman.

I mentioned those showings because it's common sense Aquaman wouldn't do as good. Grail only showing of being outright dominated is by Diana. Everyone else, she stomped.

Are you implying if Ocean Master and Mera would've used the same attack on Aquaman that they used against Diana and Superman, Aquaman would've broken free?

Aquaman isn't beating Supergirl, especially an amped Supergirl. Aquaman isn't stalrmating Darkseid. Aquaman isn't stomping Zod and Faora at the same time in the same comic where they stomped Superman. Aquaman isn't wrecking Magog. He isn't beating God Superman. He isn't stalemating Doomsday amped Superman. He isn't beating Orion. Wrecking Lantern. Treating Metallo like fodder. This is clear. They don't need to be there at the same time for both of us to know this. This is why Superman is above Author. Even though they haven't fought the same people, it's clear Superman is his superior and yes, Superman and Author have fought and Aquaman did well. It's clear that Hulk is far above Aurthor in strength and power. Of course they haven't fought the same people but evidence supports Hulk being above him physically ending with Aquaman getting wrecked. They don't need to fight the same people or be in the same scenario for this to be facts, lol.
