I agree but if it's classic versions AQ does not have an easy time. I see AQ taking it 6 out of ten times. both are skilled telepaths, both are cyborgs (kinda still not sure about classic cable) with cables tk he can equal (almost) AQ strength, also both have compairable fighting ability (AQ having the edge). So the way I see it their in the same class but AQ has the edge in every catagory.
Cable. Reason is that he has a multitude of different weapons usually on hand. Cable i would say more trained in the art of combat and does he get his telekentics and forcefeilds? by the way? think it could make a big difference.
Arthur could definitely take him if he is fighting up to his full potential. He's been shown to be plenty resistant to energy weapons, he's faster than Cable, stronger, and in Seaworld he could probably call in some backup. Seagulls could tip the scales by themselves, as its hard to shoot straight when a bird is clawing at your eyes. Anyway it would be a heck of a fight, and Cable could certainly take a few. Still, I think that Aquaman would take the majority.
