umm... i'm sure all of you do realize that water DOES NOT conduct electricity at all!!!! Hydroman is made of pure water. Only water containing high concentrations of ions are good conductors. Hydroman is pretty much invulnerable to all electricity.
Edit: and storm, how can she freeze him? Yes, she can control the temp, but in his water form he is constantly in motion, which prevents something from freezing. And... um... how exactly do you fry water?
i'm not sure what to call it but you can't be near water when its lightning, thats why you get away from all water type things when it is lightning. this is also why lightning can go through the ground and through trees when its raining. and water is an elexcent conductor for electricity- do you just hate storm?
you cant be near water because lightning strikes the highest thing it can find (typically), and if you are the only thing near a lake, you are obviously the highest thing. And water has nothing to do with lightning striking trees. It does that, once again, because it is the highest thing it can find. And... rain has absolutely nothing to do with lightning... And yes, typically water is a good conductor of electricity, but not distilled water (which is what hydroman is made of). Distilled water is pure H20. Without extra ions, no electricity can run through it well. But, if its tap water, then electricity can jump from the dissolved ions and it becomes a good conductor.
and yes, i do have a personal ongoing war with the concept of storm, but this really would be a good fight. I mean, hydroman could probably do very little to storm in terms of damage, but what can storm do to him? Lightning wont effect him, he cant be frozen so long as he keeps his molecules moving (which is always), and storm can lift him with a tornado and throw him wherever she pleases, it wont do him much damage. So, like i said, this would be a very good fight, neither's powers would be very effective against the others.
When he had smarts he was the same power level just know how to use his powers better and had a bomb as a fail safe.
Spiderman usually either evaporates him using power cables or mixes him like when they fought on a building site and he threw cement at him or when he forced him to run into Sandman.
If he has access to a water supply all the lightning in the world isn't going to boil him it would be like lightning striking the sea no effect.
And he wouldn't be electrocuted by it as Kontraz pointed out distilled water isn't a good conductor, Humans on the other hand conduct it quite well hence why we shouldn't be in the water if someone throws dumps live electrical equipment in it!
So if he was in water form he couldn't be electrocuted and I think it would take quite a few lightning bolts to make him evaporate.
I was thinking more of Storm generating a few tornado's and flinging some concrete at him or tricking him into merging with the sea.
Hydro man if written as a Global type villain rather than a street thug with no neck and even less brains would give the Avengers a run for there money.
Its his lack of brains and Imagination that let him down.
He could quite easily crush storm with a powerful enough water blast or encase her inside him and drown her if she got in close enough and let her guard down.
Hydro man winning is a possibility but he will probably defeat himself as per usual.
as others have pointed out spiderman has beaten his w/ electricity before and storm has more than enough of that. there is almost nothing that will help him win cause he can't do all thAt much to her. like others have said and now me he has been defeated w/ electricity and storm has tons of that. she takes thius easily imo
i have yet to see him beaten by electricity, and as hercules pointed out, he wasnt electricuted, he was eveaporated by the constant flow of electricity for an extended period of time. Meaning, hes not going to just stand there and allow one huge lightning bolt to keep striking him (impossible anyway, lightning is discontiunous) So i'm still saying Hydro will beat her in the end. He can hurt her physically, while she can do little (if anything) to him.
say what you want but storm has had electricity flow through her for periods of time before. she can make it above 100 and then keep hitting him, or just use the one lightning bolt cause her's will most likely be stronger than the one spidey used
umm... try reading the rest of the arguements before posting... really... you're embarassing yourself...
and how exactly will storm keep a constant flow of electricity going into hydroman? I mean, if he doesnt feel the pain, he isnt going to just stand there in agony letting it continue, he's giong to hit her, ceasing the attack
